Strategies to get the very best Ocracoke vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

Summertime is the most expensive season in Ocracoke. To book the largest rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Ocracoke restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Ocracoke area visitors guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, picking, and booking a perfectrental home:

Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Sweet Waterfront Cottage, 4 person limit has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before booking the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.

Tips for a great stay:

Get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect your property!
Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Inspect the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
Did your family have a great stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
