Booking the best vacation property experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Ocracoke rental home:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your Ocracoke vacation rental in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Ocracoke area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. 'Baby Duck' -Make Memories in Our Charming Island Bungalow has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. If not, email or call the host before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Ocracoke attraction you are enamored with, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, 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 described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
