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

When to book & When to go:

• Summer is the most expensive season in the Ocracoke area. To get the best vacation home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Ocracoke restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Ocracoke area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking the best Ocracoke rental:

• Choose your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Sandy Pause is a charming pet friendly cottage with a fenced yard. has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property manager before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Note any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to drive new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
