Strategies to get the best Ocracoke rental experience:

When to reserve a Ocracoke rental home & When to go:

• Summer months are high season in the Ocracoke area. Book your rental in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Ocracoke area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Ocracoke visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the best rental in the Ocracoke area:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Villa I: Dog friendly condo near shops and restaurants has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you book the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Upon check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect your property!
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
