We were able to get a great last minutes house through Southern Shores realty. We've also rented through Twiddy in the past.

Also check out Colony by the Sea and Georgetown Sands in Duck, which are condo/townhouse communities. You can also rent a condo in the Currituck Club in Corolla. Good luck OP and have fun in the OBX!

You may be better off looking at Nags Head, or south of there such as Avon or Rodanthe.

Next year book just after Christmas.


Some realtors will run a special the day after Thanksgiving (5% off or something like that) which may not sound like much, but when you think about it, booking a house for the summer that will run in the 4K range (if you want one of the bigger ones), 5% is a big chunk of change to get off.

Outerbeaches.com is a good realtor to use.

Op here. With all this feedback, I'm tempted now to change course and look at a house rental on or near the beach - anyone have an idea how to find a good place at this late stage?

Only two options are the Hampton Inn and Sanderling Inn. You aren't going to get Sanderling at $200/night and in season I doubt you will get the Hampton for $200/night either.

For hotels midweek you will have better luck in Kitty Hawk, KDH or Nags Head. It will be easier to find a Monday thru Thursday, a lot of hotels want the rooms for Thursday- Sunday premium rates. Don't expect anything special base to mid tier hotels at best. Your best bets if you can get in are Hilton Garden Inn, Hammocks on The Banks, Ramada.





Very helpful - looking at both of those right now.

In my visits there, Corolla and Duck seem much more house-based, than hotel/motel. Also, I think they tend to be more expensive than say, Kill Devil Hills or some places more south. You might be able to find a house on the bay-side for close to that amount.

I'd like to head to Duck or Corolla for the first time, and I'm interested in staying in a hotel on the beach. Taking my 11 and 13 year old. Planning for a Monday through Friday. My question: possible to stay in a nice hotel for $200 a night? I want to be within walking distance of the beach and have the amenities of a hotel (maid service) but more than $200 a night seems high. Anyone have experience with this?
