• Summer time is high season in Southport. Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation rental in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save on your vacation.

Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses.
