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

Find your best deal:

• In the Ocracoke area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Ocracoke. Booking in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Ocracoke visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Make a plan and choose your Ocracoke rental home:

• First and foremost, have your group choose vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Contentment: Spacious home, den, screened porch, marsh views. has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property management company before booking the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few problems.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
