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

Finding the best rental home value:

• Summer is high season in Ocracoke. Reserve your rental home in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Ocracoke area visitor guide magazines which often 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 visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing the perfect Ocracoke vacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Dicie's House - Classic Ocracoke Cottage on Historic Howard Street has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before booking the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the property manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many problems.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean 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.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
