Tricks and tips to get the perfect Ocracoke rental home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• In the Ocracoke area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Ocracoke area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefect Ocracoke rental:

• Choose vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms 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. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Ocracoke rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Ocracoke destination you are enamored with, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

Advice for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many issues.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on good ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
