• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your vacation home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• In the Wilmington, NC area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early.
