Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation property experience:

Finding the best value:

• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Ocracoke. Reserve your Ocracoke vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Ocracoke area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and pick a perfect Ocracoke rental home:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to date ranges and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Shrimp House: New England coastal style cottage, unique layout. has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible online. Otherwise, contact the host before you book your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
