Getting the best vacation property experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summer months are high season in the Ocracoke area. Book your rental home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Ocracoke area travel guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property 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.

How to pick the best rental in Ocracoke:

• First, have your group choose vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Faraway Oaks: Canal front home, open floor plan, private dock. has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. Otherwise, call the property management company before reserving your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of issues.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
