Strategies to get the best Ocracoke rental experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Ocracoke area travel guides which will include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing and booking the bestrental home:

• First and foremost, have your group agree to trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Dorsett's Roost: Short walk to Springer's Point Nature Preserve has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before you book your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your . Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
