Strategies to get the perfect Ocracoke rental home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Booking your Ocracoke vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your group decide on a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Shrimp House: New England coastal style cottage, unique layout. has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property manager before you book the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your group.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.

Tips to have a great stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your stay, note any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the property manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.

• Lock your rental home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review.
