Tricks and tips to get the optimal Ocracoke rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• In the Ocracoke area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Ocracoke area. To get the best rental home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefectrental:

• First and foremost, have your family select a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Myron’s Place on Howard Street - a renovated historic island home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking websites. If not, email the property manager before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Ocracoke destination you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Call the property manager right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
