Tips and Tricks to get the best Wilmington, NC vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the most suitable rental within your budget, we suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Wilmington, NC restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Wilmington, NC vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.

• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Ocean Haze - Oceanview Retreat has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property manager before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
