Getting the best rental home value:

• In the Wilmington, NC area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early.

• To get the best value, try changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
