How to find the best Ocracoke vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Summer months are high season in the Ocracoke area. To book the best rental within budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Ocracoke visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental in the Ocracoke area:

• Begin by selecting vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Second Wind: Perfect canalfront home for two with private boat dock. has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before you book your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out which bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, note any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
