Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Ocracoke vacation home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Book your Ocracoke vacation in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Ocracoke area travel guides which include special deals, either offered directly 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.

Narrow your Search:

• First, have your group commit to trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Teacher's Lair: Beautiful waterfront home on a canal in Oyster Creek has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property manager before you book your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's an individual Ocracoke attraction you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, note any problem areas during check in. Call the rental manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, 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 a note as part of your review.
