With its picturesque coastline, scenic countryside, and historic landmarks, Delaware provides a unique backdrop for your next getaway.

When to rent a villa in Delaware

When it comes to planning your Delaware villa holiday, the timing is everything. Located on the East Coast, Delaware experiences a humid subtropical climate with hot summers and mild winters. If you're looking for warm weather without the crowds, consider visiting during the spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October). These shoulder seasons offer pleasant temperatures, gentle breezes, and plenty of sunshine, making them ideal for outdoor activities like beachcombing, biking, or simply relaxing by the pool.

If you're looking to make the most of Delaware's beautiful beaches, then summer (June-August) might be the perfect time for you. With warm waters and long days, this is peak tourist season, but it also means that prices for villas tend to be higher. If you're on a budget or prefer milder weather, consider visiting during the winter months (December-February), when you can enjoy lower prices and explore Delaware's charming towns, historic sites, and cultural attractions without the crowds. Whatever time of year you choose, be sure to pack accordingly for the local climate – and don't forget your sunscreen!

Where to go in Delaware

When it comes to choosing the perfect location for your Delaware villa holiday, you're spoiled for choice. From the bustling beach towns of Rehoboth and Dewey Beach, to the quaint coastal communities of Bethany and Fenwick Island, each area offers its own unique charm and attractions. If you're looking for a lively atmosphere with plenty of restaurants, shops and nightlife, then the southern coast is the place to be. On the other hand, if you prefer a more relaxed pace with peaceful walks along the beach and scenic views, then consider a villa in one of the quieter communities like Lewes or Millville.

Alternatively, if you're looking for a mix of both worlds, then the Cape May area might be the perfect fit. With its beautiful beaches, historic lighthouse, and charming town centre, Cape May offers a unique blend of relaxation and excitement. Plus, with a range of villas available in different price points, you can find the perfect place to stay that suits your budget and style. Whether you're looking for a family-friendly destination or a romantic getaway for two, Delaware's diverse regions have something for everyone.
