Looking to buy property in one of several coastal areas in NC, and have narrowed it down to Topsail Beach, Kure Beach or Oak Island/Holden Beach. I’ve been to the first two and haven’t noticed too many winged pests when I was there, but then again I’m not sure I was there for peak bug season. I’m going to visit Oak Island soon, but again, probably won’t be peak bug season so I won’t be able to determine how bad it gets. I have noticed more screened porches with Oak Island homes, which could be a clue. Anyway, any insight appreciated, and if you know of the least buggy areas in Coastal NC, please share!

There are too many micro-variables to make macro distinctions between different areas like that. At a macro level, there's no difference. Within each town/area there are micro differences that affect the amount of bugs...wind direction, rain, presence of standing water, spraying, etc., etc.
If I were buying, I would look first at Kure Beach. It has open ocean on one side and a flowing river on the other, not marshes.
