Tips to get the best Ocracoke vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Ocracoke area. To find the best value, try shifting your family's Ocracoke trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Ocracoke visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by selecting your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Second Wind: Perfect canalfront home for two with private boat dock. has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Ocracoke vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. Otherwise, email or call the host before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
