General HIM Lodging Question

I don't have actual experience as of yet. But the wife and I are planning on renting a house/condo near the finish of Beach 2 Battleship full iron next year, so all we have to do afterwards is get on the water taxi, walk a block and be in are humble rental abode.

The thought of not loading a car up and driving to another location is one of the big selling points for us. The wife will use the truck to hit T1 and parts of the course then park it and take the taxi (which is free on race day) and be at the end for me. If the price isn't to bad I'd say do it.

Of course were planning on staying a week in Wilmington and want to spend some time in town after the race at historical spots, not to mention the restaurants and bars

After doing Steelhead as the run relay guy, I didn't really care for the 1+ mile walk afterwards to get back to the truck. After Muncie HIM I was real happy that the truck was a mere 200 yards from the transition area and if there was a hotel that close in Muncie I would've paid to have that convenience.
