Tips to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer time is high season in the Ocracoke area. To get the best rental within budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Ocracoke restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Ocracoke area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Ocracoke area travel guide magazines which include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the host before you book your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.

• Did your group have a fantastic time? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
