Help with the Outer Banks
We are looking to try the Outer Banks for the first time this year in August. I have been researching it but need some help. It seems like all of the houses are large ( we only have four people and a baby) and it seems like the inside of every house I have seen is very outdated. Are there any newer/nicer looking places? I know what I'm looking for probably doesnt exist but I figured i'd give it a shot over here, you girls always seem so helpful. We don't need to be by a lot of activity, just want to be close to a nice beach. Thanks so much
Re: Help with the Outer Banks
heres the link to my parents vacation house in the OBX, that they rent out through sun realty
http://www.sunrealtync.com/house/ksd-11
its on hatteras island, in the town of avon. hatteras island is part of a national seashore, so there are parts of it that are preserved with nothing but opened beach... BUT, the the town of avon where my parents are- theres a big grocery store, lots of restaurants, jet ski rentals, mini golf, its a short ride to the hatteras lighthouse to see that... theres a nice beach area on the bay side not too far, thats great if you have toddlers.
my parents house is one back from the ocean, so its an easy walk over the dunes to the beach. its a nice size- big, but not HUGE. 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms... they have a nice game room with ping pong table, etc. it has a hot tub, and they just finished updating 2 of the bathrooms- they are always doing things to fix it up :-)
let me know if you have any questions about the OBX, or about the house :-)
We stayed at this house in Kill Devil Hills over NYE: http://www.outerbanksvacations.com/rental/house.html?ID=162
I'm not sure how fancy of a place you're looking for but it's pretty nice/modern by beach house standards, and it's right on the ocean. We were a group of six adults and it was the perfect size for us (master bedroom with bath on the top floor, three bedrooms/two bathrooms on the second floor).
