Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the most suitable rental within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.

Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.

Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
