Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your rental property in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• 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 if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for local tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your group select the best dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. The Net House: Quaint Restored Cottage Once a Net House has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Ocracoke vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you book your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Ocracoke attraction you are crazy about, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
