OBX vacations are more popular than ever, and booking early is recommended. The Outer Banks has been a popular vacation destination throughout the years, and our vacation homes continue to book faster than ever before. Now is the time to plan for some fun in the sun on the Outer Banks for your summer vacation! The first step in creating beach vacation memories is booking your rental home on the OBX. We have some tips to help you find the perfect Outer Banks rental for your family.

Booking Early is Essential if You Want the Most Popular Amenities

Homes directly on the oceanfront, pet friendly OBX rentals, and homes that can accommodate large groups book first.

By January, 75% of weeks in our oceanfront homes are already booked for May through September weeks.

If you’re planning to bring your dog to the OBX, start planning early, as 70% of our pet friendly homes are typically booked by January for May through September weeks.

Do you need a home with 10 bedrooms or more? Our homes with 10 bedrooms or more are 80% booked by January.

 

Trips

Find Several Homes That You Like Prior to Booking

Outer Banks vacation homes are in high demand for next summer. We recommend having a few homes in mind for your OBX vacation, just in case your top choice is booked. The Trips feature on our website allows you to save your favorite vacation homes and share them with your group. Members of your group can weigh in on the OBX vacation home decision and help narrow down your top homes. With a few top homes in mind, your group will have options at booking time rather than relying on one home being available for your desired travel dates.

Waitlist

Join the Waitlist 

Each week in every vacation home has a waitlist. If/when the week becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know. All guests on the waitlist for a particular home/week are emailed at the same time, and reservations are booked on a first-come, first-served basis. You can join the waitlist for as many homes and weeks as you want.

Booking for next year

It’s never too early to start planning your OBX Summer Vacation!

Start planning your next Outer Banks vacation now and get the first choice on the OBX rental home and week that you prefer. We accept Advance Property Holds 51 weeks in advance for most homes and even farther in advance for certain larger homes.

We are currently accepting waitlist requests for all homes and weeks next summer. Simply enter your email address, and we will email you if/when the home and week become available. 

Booking early is the best way to make vacation memories that will last a lifetime!
