Cost saving strategies:

• In the Carolina Beach area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early.

• Summertime is high season in Carolina Beach. Book your rental home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
