Summer is high season in Wilmington. To find the best value, try changing your family's Southport vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
In the Southport area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.

Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
