When to visit Bald Head Island & When to reserve a Wrightsville Beach rental home:

• In the Wrightsville Beach area, The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
