Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

Find your perfect rental:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Summer months are high season in Ocracoke. To find the best value, change your family's Ocracoke trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Ocracoke area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose vacation week and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. The Berkley Manor - An estate on Silver Lake has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before booking the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges applied to your invoice.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

More tips for your stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of concerns.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents 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 on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a 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 (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable 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 comments.
