[quote=Anonymous]We love it but you have to know that it’s not like Rehoboth or Ocean City — there is no boardwalk, limited restaurant options, and not a ton to do on bad weather days. (The outlets or the movies and Duck is cute but small.)

Now that I’ve said all the bad stuff, here’s the good stuff. There are large homes for big groups (we do a multigenerational trip every year and always fit comfortably) that are right on the beach. Many homes also have pools for young kids. The Outer Banks is for people who like to spend a ton of time on the beach. For me, my favorite thing in the world is spending all day reading and swimming, followed by cooking, cocktails, and dinner under the sunset. We also always rent on a private beach so there are fewer people and the next group is never closer than 20 feet from you. I cannot stand the crowds at the DE beaches where everyone is on top of one another and can’t see the ocean unless you set up a spot at 8am. We never have that problem in the outer banks.

If you like to shop and eat out a ton, it’s not for you. For us, it’s amazing and relaxing family time. [/quote]
