How to get the best rental value:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Booking your Wilmington, NC vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
