Sticking to your rental home budget:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summertime is high season in the Wilmington, NC area. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Wilmington, NC vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months.

• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
