Spring and fall offer fewer crowds and lower rates. No matter when you come, Atlantic Realty has the best places to stay in the Outer Banks for your adventure.

No Outer Banks family vacation is complete without enjoying local seafood and classic coastal cuisine. Many restaurants offer kid-friendly menus and outdoor seating with a view. Prefer a night in? Pick up fresh seafood and produce from a local market and cook up a family feast in your rental’s fully equipped kitchen.
