Our top Ocracoke vacation rental tips and tricks:

Finding your best deal:

• In the Ocracoke area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Summer months are high season in the Ocracoke area. To get the best value, shift your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Some owners offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply Ocracoke area visitor guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the best vacation home in the Ocracoke area:

• Choose a group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Three-bedroom house with views, decks, golf cart and home gym! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, email the host before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what configuration is optimal for your family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
