Tips to get the very best Ocracoke vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

Summer is high season in the Ocracoke area. To find the largest rental within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
Property management companies typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
Often, management companies supply Ocracoke area visitors guides that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting and booking the rightrental:

Choose vacation dates and maximum budget.
Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. CanalHouse Private Large Home on Canal Front has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property manager before booking the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is best for your family.
If there's a specific Ocracoke destination you crave, look for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

Advice for a great stay:

Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are assessed.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect your property!
Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
