Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Ocracoke area. Reserve your Ocracoke rental in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Ocracoke area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. The Net House: Quaint Restored Cottage Once a Net House has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you book your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• Some properties allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.

More considerations:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to propel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
