Outer Banks Vacation Treasures: DIY Projects
Ever wonder what to do with all of those tiny shells and pieces of driftwood you (or your kids!) find during your Outer Banks Vacation? Or any beach vacation, for that matter…
Where do vacation homes get their names?
It is an idea we sometimes never wonder, but if you give yourself time to ponder…there is a lot of thought put into the name of your vacation home! I have selected 3 homes to share with you to see what your thoughts are of their names as it refers to their location & what you can do at the homes.
“Always Sunny”
4 bedrooms/4 full bath/sleeping 10
Virtual Tour- click here!
Plan your vacation where it is “Always Sunny” because the house has an indoor pool and you can enjoy being at the beach even when the weather does not wish to cooperate. The entire down stairs can be closed off, meaning no late night swimmers without permission!
“Casa Del Mar”
9 bedrooms/8 full bath/sleeping 26
“Casa Del Mar” meaning “home-by-the-sea” and will meet your every vacation need! It is gorgeous inside and out with the perfect location within the community of Pine Island with all of the added perks of a community with pool, bike trails, diner and more!
“I SEA IT”
3 bedrooms/2 full bath/sleeping 9

Memory Monday 2/25/13
Ship to Shore This week’s Memory Monday Photo submission comes to us from Erin Sharpe of Purcellville, Virginia in picturesque Loudoun County who stayed with Outer Banks Blue this past August in the property “Four Seasons” in Nags Head. This photo is of some of the children in Erin’s group during the summer of 2011. That is the summer when the town of Nags Head went through an extensive beach nourishment project, and the boat pictured in the background is one of the many boats that worked just off shore to pump sand from the ocean bottom onto the beach.| Nice Beach! |
Erin tells us “We go to the Outer Banks every summer as a family. My husband and his 3 brothers, 1 sister and their families. The kids in the picture are all cousins. I thought it was absolutely adorable that the kids were all sitting together and just looking out at the ocean. We love spending time on the beach and just hanging out as a family.”

Storm Aftermath in Kitty Hawk (11/1/12
Storm Aftermath in Kitty Hawk (11/1/12)
| Memories of Tuesday when traffic from Rt. 158 was re-routed through our parking lot to avoid a flooded roadway |
Its Thursday morning here in Kitty Hawk on the Outer Banks, and the rumble of heavy machinery and the beeps of those machines as they shift to reverse are constant in the area. The N.C. Dept. of Transportation has responded to the effects of Hurricane Sandy with unprecedented manpower and machinery to clear the area of the storm.

This week’s Memory Monday submission comes to us from Maria Merritt of Ashburn, Virginia who stayed with Outer Banks Blue this past August in the property “Summer-Set” in the Whalehead Beach area of Corolla.

Generations Come Together in the Outer Banks
This week’s Memory Monday submission comes to us from Tina Lane of Fincastle, Virginia who stayed with Outer Banks Blue with 4 generations of her family this past June in the property “Green Iguana” in Southern Shores.
Our Trip to Jockey’s Ridge
This week’s Memory Monday photo submission comes to us from Pamela Butler of Smithville, Pennsylvania who stayed with Outer Banks Bluein June at the property “Moonstruck” on the oceanfront in NagsHead. Instead of photos of the ocean or the kids playing on the beach Pamela has shared with us a very popular location on the Outer Banks that we do not have many pictures of – Jockey’s Ridge State Park!
These pictures of Pamela and her family enjoying Jockey’s Ridge reminds us of the many, many different activities there are to enjoy here on the Outer Banks. Jockey’s ridge state park contains the tallest living sand dune on the east coast. The park covers 426 acres and the tallest point rises more than 100 feet above sea level. Scientists believe Jockey’s ridge was created at the end of the last ice age some 12,000 years ago and the park has more than 39 million tons of sand for visitors to enjoy.
The sunsets from the top of the ridge are epic, and the park also is home to the largest hang gliding school in the world (Kitty Hawk Kites).
The Butler clan enjoyed climbing Jockey’s ridge before heading over to Manteo on Roanoke Island where they had dinner at Big Al’s Soda Fountain and
Grill. That’s where the picture of the Butler kids was taken in the
oversized lounge chair.
Thanks Pamela for sharing your photo memories. We look forward to serving you again!
All the best from the beach!
