Booking the best rental home experience:

Get the best rental value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your Ocracoke rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends 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 management company or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Ocracoke area visitors guides that include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Shrimp House: New England coastal style cottage, unique layout. has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If not, email the property manager before you reserve the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on good feedback to compel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
