We offer a wide variety of house rentals, so you’re sure to find something that suits your group size and preferences. The Outer Banks Blue website makes it easy to search and book an Outer Banks rental online, and we offer friendly customer service via phone or online chat if you have questions. Here are some tips on how to book the perfect Outer Banks vacation rental in 2025!
Start your booking process early to make sure you have a large selection of Outer Banks rentals to choose from. The Outer Banks is a popular destination and vacation rentals can get booked up quickly and well in advance!
If you’re visiting in the summer peak season, it’s a good idea to book 6-12 months in advance of your preferred dates to ensure you have your pick of properties.
If your dates are flexible, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons in spring or fall. You’ll still enjoy beautiful weather, fewer crowds, and potentially lower rental rates.
Use our website filters to easily narrow down your search by area, home size, home type, distance to beach, and amenities to find your perfect Outer Banks vacation rental.
Before you begin your Outer Banks vacation rental search, consider which features are most important for your vacation. Our “Must-Haves” filter allows you to narrow down your search right away.
Oceanfront or Oceanside: Oceanfront homes offer direct beach access and stunning views, while oceanside homes might be just a short walk to the sand but come with a more budget-friendly price tag.
Private Pool or Hot Tub: If you’re traveling with a group, having a private pool or hot tub can make your stay even more special.
Dog-Friendly: Many vacation homes in the Outer Banks welcome pets, so you don’t have to leave your pup behind.
Game Rooms and Extras: If you’re planning a family reunion or a trip with kids, look for homes with game rooms, theater rooms, or large decks for outdoor dining and entertainment.
One of the best things about the Outer Banks is the diversity of its towns and beaches. Each area offers its own unique vibe, so it’s important to choose a location that matches your vacation style. When booking with Outer Banks Blue, you can filter properties by location to find the area that’s perfect for you.
Corolla: Known for its upscale atmosphere and quiet beaches, Corolla is perfect for families or a peaceful getaway. Don’t miss the wild horses that roam the beaches!
Duck: This charming, walkable village has fantastic shopping, dining, and access to the Pamlico Sound for kayaking and paddleboarding. It’s ideal for couples or families looking for a more quiet setting.
Kitty Hawk: Known for its beautiful beaches, history, and laid-back atmosphere, Kitty Hawk is centrally located and a perfect home base for an OBX vacation.
Kill Devil Hills: If you’re looking for convenience and a central location, Kill Devil Hills is near major attractions like the Wright Brothers National Memorial and has a wide range of dining options.
Nags Head: Adventure seekers love Nags Head for its iconic sand dunes, outdoor activities, and proximity to the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. It’s a great spot for fishing, kiteboarding, and exploring nature trails.
Our Outer Banks vacation rentals offer a range of flexible options to accommodate large or small groups.
If you’re booking a vacation for just a few people, there are a number of smaller homes and condos that provide the space you need for a small group. When searching, filter to see condos or 2-bedroom homes to find smaller properties.
If you’re traveling with a large group or planning a family reunion, we have larger homes with multiple bedrooms, large living spaces and outdoor entertainment areas. Set our website filter to the minimum bedrooms and bathrooms you need, and make sure to check the listings for sleeping arrangements – bunk beds or multiple twin beds in one room might be a fun option for the kids, while adults might prefer more private master bedrooms.
With all of this in mind, check out some of the Outer Banks vacation rentals you could book for your stay. We have over 270 rentals to choose from, so you'll be able to find the best property for your vacation, especially if you book well in advance!
