• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your rental in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.

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