When to go & When to book:

• Summer is high season in the Ocracoke area. Book your rental property in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.

Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
