How to get the best rental experience:

When to visit Ocracoke & When to book:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Book your rental in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

• To start, have your group commit to date ranges and a budget.

• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property manager before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine which bed configuration is best for your group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Ocracoke attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.

• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
