The ultimate family adventure starts with a vacation rental on the Outer Banks. This breathtaking archipelago stretches for over 130 miles off the coast of North Carolina and is home to historic attractions, thrilling outdoor recreation and one-of-a-kind sightseeing. The best part? A vast and beautiful collection of vacation rentals. Breezy beach houses to luxury condos and home rentals, it’s no wonder travelers to the Outer Banks tend to call it a second home. Whether you vacation on the shore or inland in one of its quant towns, the Outer Banks offers something for all ages.

The Outer Banks offers a world-class mix of historic exploration, outdoor recreation and relaxation. Regardless of where your house or condo rental is located, you’re close to the action.

Witness the beauty of the Elizabethan Gardens growing within the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site. Remember the Wright Brothers’ first powered airplane flight? Take the kids on a tour of the Wright Memorial at Kill Devil Hills, one of OBX’s beautiful northern beaches. Is your family more the aquatic type?
