Have you found Roanoke Island’s hidden beaches?

We recently installed ceiling fans in both queen bedrooms.

And this bedroom also has a new duvet cover (although we have so many linens, we are always switching up the sheets and quilts!).

We have tried hard to add little touches to make our guests more comfortable. Lots of hooks (perfect for towels and swim suits), luggage racks, extra outlets, and fans. What are some things that make a difference when you travel? We are always looking for more ideas!

We have to agree. Fall is the best season on the beach. The crowds are gone and the weather is perfect.

Visit The Outer Banks in OCTOBER!

October is considered the "secret season" on the Outer Banks, offering perfect weather with daytime highs in the 70s, low humidity, and warm ocean temperatures. You can avoid the summer crowds, take advantage of significantly lower vacation rental rates, and enjoy prime conditions for surfing, surf fishing, and birdwatching. Also…

…there are so many things to do! Book a stay in the Town of Manteo during any of the five weekends in October to discover Halloween Island, a month-long, town-wide charity bar crawl through over a dozen uniquely-themed pop-up Halloween bars throughout town, with proceeds benefiting the Outer Banks Relief Foundation, and redeem your completed Halloween Island passport for an exclusive reward!

Also during October, you can attend the Outer Banks Bluegrass Festival, get a local taste of the ocean at the Outer Banks Seafood Festival, or watch kegs fly at OBX Brewtag. Check out everything going on here in October at outerbanks.org!
