Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Ocracoke rental home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Ocracoke rental home:

• In the Ocracoke area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best vacation home for your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Ocracoke restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Ocracoke area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Sounds Perfect and Secret Cedars: Waterfront. Views of the Lighthouse. has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before you book the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Ocracoke beach you long to visit, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your . Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your stay, note any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to stimulate future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
