Tricks and tips to get the best Ocracoke vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• In the Ocracoke area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, shift your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years 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 owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain coupons for local tours and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking a perfect Ocracoke rental home:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Olivella: Pet friendly, artistic, eclectic artwork, decks, porches. has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is best for your vacation.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Ocracoke destination you simply love, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
