Ocracoke vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To book the most suitable rental home within budget, we strongly suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Ocracoke attractions and restaurants.
• In the Ocracoke area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, property management companies supply Ocracoke area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Serendipity: Historic Home with Modern Conveniences has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the property manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors 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 fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
