Our top Rental property booking tips:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Book your Ocracoke rental property in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Ocracoke area travel guides which include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Select a group leader, select your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Safe Harbor: Expansive views of the salt marsh, maritime forest. has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If there's a particular Ocracoke beach you crave, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your visit:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to compel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
