Sticking to your rental home budget:

• In the Ocracoke area, The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the best value, change your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Ocracoke visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain discounts for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a spending budget.
