Childhood Past Times 2.0
Growing up, we all loved racing outside after a fresh snowfall and diving into the crisp, fluffy snow to create the iconic “Snow Angel.” While there’s always a chance for snow on the Outer Banks, it’s a rare sight — but don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of sand to play in instead!
Whether you head to the beach or explore Jockey’s Ridge, the largest living sand dune on the East Coast, there’s no shortage of fun to be had. Try dune boarding, take a hang gliding lesson, or simply kick back and make your very own sand angel.
or go sand boarding at Jockey's Ridge!
Change of Scenery
Pack your Elf on the Shelf, he needs a vacation too, and there are endless possibilities in our spacious homes for new and creative hiding places.
Best Value, Every Penny Counts
Remember that oceanfront home with all the amenities you were drooling over for your Summer vacation? Well, take advantage of off-season pricing and lock it down for your Winter getaway at an affordable price!
Weather not Cooperating?
Mother Nature doesn't always get the Vacation Memo for good weather, so it's a good idea to have a game plan for indoor activities. Most of our rental homes come equipped with popular board games, books, and sometimes even a gaming system for entertainment; however, we also suggest stopping by the local Wal-mart to purchase 'OBX Monopoly' for family fun time and a neat souvenir. Arts and crafts are also a great way to spend time together indoors. Create your own OBX Beach Ornament using sea shells, driftwood, sea glass, etc. Get creative!
