BikerBabe 0 #6 June 5, 2006 went there every summer as a kid...some of the best memories of my life. It's an amazing place. We always stayed at the north end, the Duck/Southern Shores area. it's beautiful, the beaches and people are great, and it's not nearly as crowded as some of the other mor popular places like Hilton Head or Myrtle Beach. Have fun!Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenz 0 #7 June 5, 2006 the outer banks is awesome... usually they are booked way far in advanced -corolla is definitely a great place to stay - you'll probably be able to find some stuff but pickings will be slim.. it really is a great place to go though - have a blast ;)"life does throw curveballs sometimes but it doesn't mean we shouldn't still swing for the homerun" ~ me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #8 June 5, 2006 I took a day trip to Nags Head in 1997. I rather enjoyed it! It was kinda windy, but I liked it. An enjoyable and relaxing place. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stiner 0 #9 June 5, 2006 I went every summer growing up...and most recently last summer. I've stayed pretty much everywhere from Southern Shores to Corolla Light. My favorites were Pine Island (between Duck and Corolla), Ocean Sands (which technically may be Corolla) and Corolla. As someone else mentioned, things are booked way in advance. If you have any questions about specific areas, feel free to PM me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaitken 0 #10 June 5, 2006 Quote cool! thanks! there will be 7 of us going, including 2 small kids. i've never been, so i'm kind of lost. I'm hoping to find something walking distance to the beach and a pool. I just got back from a week in Corolla, had a great time. My fiancee's family goes there every year and we've tagged along each of the last two years. There are lots of rental agencies, but they deal with two called Twiddy (http://www.twiddy.com/) and Sun Realty. As an example, the house we stayed in is called Celtic Shore; it's got 5 BR, a pool, and a hot tub. It's on the sound, not the ocean, but the island's only only about half a mile wide at that point, so it's not a big deal to get to the beach. Anyway, check with the local rental companies and I'm sure you'll be able to find a house that meets your size/budget needs. Anyone know if it's possible to do a beach jump there? :-)"If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough." --Mario Andretti Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeatherB 0 #11 June 5, 2006 My family, boyfriend and I were there last May -- We rented a big house in Waves. We had 6 adults and 2 kids. The house had a pool, hot tub, pool table, just a few steps from the ocean. Here's where we rented from: http://www.surforsound.com We had fun. Went up to Kill Devil Hills, the Wright Bros museum, tried hang gliding, checked out the light houses, etc. Pretty place. It was a little chilly in May but the rates were a lot cheaper than in the summer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivellama 0 #12 June 5, 2006 Edited because I just realized I might be advertising. I'll send you a PM. As far as what area to stay, Duck is my favorite place in the world; I lived there for a couple of years and still go back several times a year.
