How to book the best Ocracoke vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To book the best rental for your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Ocracoke restaurants, beaches, and activities. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Ocracoke area travel guides which often include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with 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:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. The Pelican: Walking distance of the harbor, shops and restaurants. has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Document any issues with the property 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 are very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of concerns.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
