Make Outer Banks your next getaway

Pack the kids, grab the sunscreen, and head to the Outer Banks—North Carolina’s string of barrier islands, where adventure and relaxation meet for families of all ages. Watch Corolla’s wild horses gallop along the surf, climb towering dunes at Jockey’s Ridge, or cast a fishing line from the East Coast’s longest pier. Whether you’re here for sun-soaked relaxation or salty adventure, an OBX vacation rental puts you right in the heart of it all—steps from the sand, sunsets, and seafood shacks locals love.

Recent Outer Banks vacation rental reviews

Great location in a quiet neighborhood with great sound/marsh views. The back deck was able to be blocked off so the dogs could be outside without wandering away. Very comfortable home with a well stocked kitchen.

Beachfront adventures for everyone

Stretching over 100 miles, OBX beaches are perfect for little feet and big adventures alike. Build sandcastles at Coquina Beach in Nags Head, skimboard at Jennette’s Pier, or hunt for seashells along the shallow waters of Duck. Teens can try surfing near Rodanthe, while toddlers enjoy the gentle waves of the Pamlico Sound. Families will love kite flying, dolphin tours, and discovering shipwrecks along the “Graveyard of the Atlantic.”

History meets family fun

Discover history that comes alive for the whole family. Stand where the Wright brothers first took flight at Kill Devil Hills, tour the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, or explore Fort Raleigh National Historic Site. Kids will love scavenger hunts through historic downtown Manteo, while parents enjoy tasting fresh seafood at local spots like Owens’ Restaurant and the Blue Point Oyster Bar. Every corner of the Outer Banks offers stories, adventure, and hidden treasures.
