Summer
Make this summer unforgettable along the coast of the Northern Outer Banks, the scenic Mainland, and the tranquil beauty of Knotts Island. Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape, a family getaway, or an outdoor adventure, this coastal region offers something for everyone — wrapped in natural beauty, local charm, and plenty of sunshine.
Wind In Your Hair Kind of Summer
Beachfront Bliss and Legendary Wild Horses
Vacation rentals in the Northern Outer Banks offer the comforts of home with the luxury of oceanfront living. Wherever you stay, you’re just steps away from the Atlantic — perfect for morning walks, lazy beach days, or diving into a range of water sports like paddleboarding, kayaking, jet skiing, or even parasailing for the more adventurous.
Watch for the wild Spanish Mustangs roaming free along the dunes of Corolla. These majestic horses, descendants of Spanish explorers, are a living symbol of the Outer Banks. Book a 4×4 horse tour to see them up close in their natural habitat — it’s a memory you’ll treasure forever.
Explore Nature, History & Hidden Gems
The beauty of this region goes far beyond the shoreline. Explore the Mainland’s peaceful landscapes, scenic drives, and charming farm stands. Visit Knotts Island for berry picking, wildlife spotting, and quiet afternoons by the water. The calm sounds and marshlands are perfect for kayaking or fishing while soaking in the serenity.
History buffs will enjoy climbing the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, touring the elegant Whalehead mansion, and learning about the area’s rich maritime past at the Currituck Maritime Museum and Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education.
Family Fun, Flavor & Relaxation
Cool off at H2OBX Waterpark, where thrill slides, wave pools, and lazy rivers make for a day of laughter and fun. Golfers can enjoy scenic courses, while nature lovers explore soundside trails and birding spots.
When the day winds down, enjoy fresh local seafood, Carolina-style barbecue, or a handcrafted meal from a private chef in your rental. Sip local wine as you watch a breathtaking sunset over the Currituck Sound.
Your Summer, Your Way
Whether it’s a long weekend or a full week of fun, the Northern Outer Banks, Mainland, and Knotts Island offer the perfect blend of relaxation, recreation, and coastal charm.
