When to book a Wilmington, NC rental & When to go:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Bald Head Island. Book your rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.

Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
