Delco is a tiny, friendly rural CDP in Columbus County (population ~287) that makes for low‑stress, affordable weeks on assignment—think quiet evenings, easy highway access, and plenty of outdoor time between shifts.
If you want more to do, Wilmington is about 18 miles east for beaches, restaurants, arts and a busy film/production scene, and Whiteville (the county seat) is ~28 miles west for groceries, healthcare and local services, so you won’t be stranded for entertainment or essentials.
