NC Coast By Owner Vacation Rentals

Spanning the eastern third of North Carolina and bordered by the Atlantic Ocean is the North Carolina Coast. This beautiful area is the site of many beach vacations North Carolina-style. A popular North Carolina beach destination is the Outer Banks. The islands of the Outer Banks are surrounded by 900 square miles of water and are home to wildlife refuges and maritime forests, making Outer Banks travel an ideal way to learn about animals and sea life that are indigenous to the Southeast. Much of the year, an Outer Banks vacation promises mild, sunny days, stretches of secluded beachfront and enough natural beauty to soothe even the most harried of souls.
 
Emerald Isle North Carolina, Nags Head and Kitty Hawk are popular places to take a beach holiday North Carolina. With a population of fewer than 3,000 and covering just 6.6 square miles of area, a vacation Nags Head offers a simpler way to unwind. Family activities include go cart racing, miniature golf courses and dolphin tours. The Lost Colony outdoor theater is a wonderful way to inject some history into a family vacation. This seasonal local theater production chronicles the disappearance of the English settlers in the area nearly 400 years ago. Kitty Hawk was the site of the world's first controlled powered flight by the Wright Brothers on December 17, 1903. A memorial now stands at the site and is a popular attraction for visitors.
