Strategies for getting the perfect Ocracoke vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Ocracoke area. To find the best value, consider changing your family's Ocracoke vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• 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 discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Ocracoke visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Choosing the best rental home in the Ocracoke area:

• Begin by choosing your a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Tolson House: Sound front, private docking, views, screened porch. has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before you book the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what is right for your vacation family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

More considerations:

• Add the host's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
