How to get the best Ocracoke rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Ocracoke area. To get the best value, change your family's Ocracoke vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of 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 local stories, travel guides have deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Finding the best rental:

• Start by choosing your a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Art-Sea: Architectural beauty, private boat dock has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible online. Otherwise, email the property management company before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• If there's a certain Ocracoke destination you long to visit, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.

• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to inspire new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review.
