Harbor House 2: Waterfront home on Silver Lake Harbor - Vacation rental home in Ocracoke, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Apartment

The old home, Harbor House I, was a appeal, sitting low and snug against Silver Lake, filled with memories, and sunsets daily. But too snug it turned out... Dorian had her way and the old place sadly succumbed.
In her place, Harbor House II has risen, simple still, but made grander by its sunny openness. Made magical by its handsome vistas and calming sounds—sunsets and the constant lapping of Silver Lake. A deep-water dock and new decking bring the harbor nearer, more accessible. Hints of the old memories remain, but far more await to be made--all of them now elevated nine feet, safe from the wrath of future Dorians. This Saturday turn day property eases you into a vacation mindset by providing linens and towels for your stay.

Tips to get the optimal vacation home experience:

When to book a Ocracoke rental home & When to go:

• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Booking your Ocracoke vacation home in the Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Harbor House 2: Waterfront home on Silver Lake Harbor has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Have a great stay:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• During check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
