Tricks and tips to get the perfect Ocracoke vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer is high season in the Ocracoke area. Book your vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• In the Ocracoke area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Ocracoke area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking a perfect Ocracoke vacation home:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Barefoot Carpenter: Cozy home in a secluded area. has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is optimal for your trip.

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. message the rental manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
