Tips and Tricks to get the very best Ocracoke vacation home experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the largest rental home for your budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• In the Ocracoke area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Ocracoke area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your family's visit, note any problem areas during check in. E-mail the rental manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.

Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
