Rental home booking tips:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, shift your family's Ocracoke vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Ocracoke visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• First, have your family agree to trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Second Wind: Perfect canalfront home for two with private boat dock. has 1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible online. If not, call the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a specific Ocracoke attraction you simply love, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the host right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to compel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
