Back to school for many Outer Banks “Blue” kids!

School started for many students & employees across the Outer Banks and throughout North Carolina this week.  Their new book bags, shoes, and lunch boxes can be found throughout the halls.  The families that travel for the next few weeks share a different experience on the OBX.  Many are possibly traveling without kiddos, from a state where school has not started, or they are bringing their babies for their first glares of the sand covered beaches!  READ MORE

Welcome to North Carolina!

When you cross the state line headed to your vacation home, there are a lot of things to look at and absorb.  Are you already contemplating your next visit?  As you return home from the Outer Banks, what is the last thing you look at and remember all year while you wait to return? =&0=&=&1=&”.  During my college days, I found a great job working my way through a local resort to become a Manager and later traveled to promote travel to the Outer Banks of NC.   I landed a position with Outer Banks Blue and have been working in the Vacation Rental industry a combined total of over 14 years now!  

I have had the pleasure of touching the lives of many families, watching them learn and live the Outer Banks history, while making memories to last a lifetime!  This position has been so fulfilling and I will take the memories of crossing the bridge and passing that Mile Post 1 sign with me to the grave.  I now live in Camden, NC which is about an hour commute.  I enjoy all of the sites along the way, especially counting the different state tags I pass along the way.  I enjoy comparing statistics with the visitors on our website through analytic research with those that I meet & greet on the roads.  It has been an honor to paint the pictures online  using photography, videos & elusive descriptions of the vacation homes.  Families unpack their lives in these home and it has been one of the most amazing experiences in a career.  There are many shops, diners and stops you can make on your way to and from the Outer Banks year round, and we look forward to counting your tag as you pass by on your next visit!

“Now and Then” in Nags Head, NC

The new “NOW” house
All of our homes are unique with something different to bring to the vacation experience of a lifetime here on the Outer Banks of NC.  Some vacation rental homes have creative names, floor plans, and décor, while others are a standard vacation home with beds, pillows, and views of the ocean!
The “Then” home with shaded areas under & a hot tub/swing area

A quick video was created after a visit to see the “Now” and “Then” portions of the home in Nags Head.  This oceanfront beauty was once a small beach box with decks and fun memories in it’s “cabin” feel at the ocean.  The home owners later added on a whole new house still combined with the old to present “Now”.  The name of this home is “Now and Then” and has enough room, charm, and décor to bring everyone in the family together from all eras.

Thanksgiving in the Outer Banks!

We have seen an increase in traffic this week on the Outer Banks. We had over 70 families come down to visit with us alone, and we are so grateful that you are staying with us!
