Ocracoke vacation rental tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• To get the largest rental within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Finding the best rental in the Ocracoke area:

• Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Almost Heaven: Colorful sunsets and views of Portsmouth Island. has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property manager before you reserve your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what is best for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More considerations:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the rental manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective 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 comments.
