Strategies for getting the best rental home experience:

When to visit Ocracoke & When to book:

• Summer time is high season in the Ocracoke area. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Ocracoke visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Make a plan and choose yourrental home:

• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Xenia House: Enjoy decks and screened porch overlooking the marsh. has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you book the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.

• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help. 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 BBQ?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to inspire new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review.
