Tips to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Ocracoke area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning and picking a perfectrental:

• Begin by selecting your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Escape Hatch: Pet friendly home, tucked among the trees, rooftop deck has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible online. If not, email the property management company before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a certain Ocracoke beach you simply love, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Document any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your life at home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
