There are two outside Blink cameras. One is on the front porch facing the front door. The second is under the screened porch facing out under the home and toward the street. The cameras are turned ON during rental season ONLY between 10 am and 4 pm on Saturdays, check in day. This accepts us to let the property manager know when guests are gone so that the home can be cleaned for the next guests. The cameras are turned OFF after 4 pm on Saturdays and remain OFF during your stay. They remain ON at all times in the off season.

Although we have the off season blocked off for personal use, we would consider renting the home during that time if we are not going to be there. We try to get there as often as we can, and sometimes we don't know until a few days before. But e-mail us if you are considering a last min. fall, winter or spring hideaway to the beach! The home may be available! We will not rent too far in advance, but it's worth a try!

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Wilmington, NC vacation property experience:

When to book a Wilmington, NC rental home & When to go:

• Book your Wilmington, NC vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.

Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
