Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To get the best value, change your family's Wilmington, NC trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons.
