Tucked back on a side road on the way to the Oyster Creek neighborhood, this Sunday turn day property sits right next to a peaceful creek on one side and a enormous side yard on the other side. The creek provides tons of nature watching from otters, herons, fish, and little fiddler crabs. This three-bedroom home has new owners starting in 2021 and is re-entering the rental market. The balcony off the master bedroom upstairs overs striking marshy vistas of the creeks behind the home. A loft area upstairs provides a seating area in addition to the open floor plan below. Bask in the sun during the day on the front porch that wraps around to two side screened porches. Appreciate dinner or an evening drink on either of the screened porches. An outdoor shower and fish cleaning bench are under the home to use after a long day out at the beach. Four-legged family members are welcomed! To add to the ease of getting into a vacation mind set, this property does provide linens and towels.

Getting the best Ocracoke rental experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Ocracoke area. To get the best value, try shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• 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 grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
