Strategies for getting the perfect rental home experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• In the Ocracoke area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Ocracoke area. Booking your vacation home in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in the Ocracoke area:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Terrapin Station: Lovely marsh views!!! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible online. If not, reach out to the property manager before you reserve your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your vacation family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
