Tricks and tips to get the best vacation home experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Ocracoke. To get the best value, try changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Ocracoke area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the best vacation home:

• Choose vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Cozy Island Cottage, centrally located in the Heart of the Village has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible online. Otherwise, email the property manager before reserving the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Ocracoke attraction you long to visit, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to propel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
