When to visit & When to reserve a Wilmington, NC rental home:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.

May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
