Tricks and tips to get the very best vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Summertime is high season in Ocracoke. Reserve your rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Ocracoke visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

Planning, selecting, and booking the bestrental:

• Select vacation week and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. The 'L': Located in a quiet private setting. Dock. has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property management company before you book the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• During check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
