Getting the best Ocracoke rental home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Ocracoke. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• In the Ocracoke area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Ocracoke visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain deals for local shops and restaurants.

Narrow your rental Search:

• To start, have your group select the best dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Island Rest: Marsh and distant sound views on Jackson Circle has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before booking the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's an individual Ocracoke destination you love, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges applied to your invoice.

Tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Note any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from 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.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
