How to get the best vacation property experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Ocracoke. Reserve your Ocracoke vacation home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Ocracoke vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Ocracoke area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Sound Advice: Soundfront with panoramic views of colorful sunsets. has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property management company before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Ocracoke destination you are enamored with, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. 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! Residents can usually 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 crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
