Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Wilmington, NC area. To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Wilmington, NC vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.

Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
