Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Wilmington rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking your vacation rental in Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Cape Fear area area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early.

• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.

Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
