• June, July, and August are high season in the Carolina Beach area. To book the most suitable rental within budget, we suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.

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