Strategies to get the very best vacation home experience:

When to visit Ocracoke & When to reserve a Ocracoke rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. 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 if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Ocracoke area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the best rental home:

• Choose vacation week and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Escape Hatch: Pet friendly home, tucked among the trees, rooftop deck has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before booking the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Speak to the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from 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 manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
