Happy Labor Day on the Outer Banks at the Beach to Ease Your Mind
I have heard many people say that all of their worries melt away the moment the cross the bridge over to the Outer Banks. “It’s just another mind set”, or “everyone is in vacation mode”, and that is for sure even down to how businesses are operated. You will find a smiling face in an office building here on the Outer Banks with flip flops and a sun dress when stopping by a local realty office. Outer Banks Blue takes pride in being “The Vacation Rental Firm That NEVER Goes On Vacation!” here on the OBX. Michelle Elmore gets out of the office to share a sunny day, the last weekend of the offical “summer season” for 2012 here on the Outer Banks. The high is 82, but the humidity is up compared to recent weeks of cooler weather and rain. The last chance to get your summer tan has come and we hope to see you all out there this weekend!
Reservations being taken at this time for the remainder of 2012 (including family holidays together at the beach), and the entire year of 2013, so call today 877 248 4823!
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!
Thumbs up to our OBX Family Vacation
This week’s Memory Monday Photo submission comes to us from Tanya Reimer of Beamsville, Ontario, Canada who recently stayed with Outer Banks Blue at the property “Beach House on The Moon” in Duck. Tanya shares this photo which symbolizes the feeling of the entire Outer Banks Blue staff today…..”Thumbs up! Summer is here!” Today, Memorial Day, marks the official start of the summer season here on the Outer Banks. Our roads are a bit busier, the beach has a few more people laying on it today, and the sun seems to be just a little bit hotter. Even though we still have a few days left in May we are all in a summer mind set here on the Outer Banks, and we look forward to seeing you here soon! As Tanya would say “Thumbs up” for an Outer Banks Blue vacation! All the best from the beach!
Outer Banks Beach Nourishment Update
Michelle Niles visits Nags head beaches the week of August 6 to report the progress of the Nags Head Beach Nourishment project to our upcoming and interested viewers! The beaches are bigger and better in the areas where this project is completed and guests who are on the beach, are not letting this ruin their beach vacation! They are playing volleyball, reading under their umbrellas and sailing the day away on the water!

Family Fun on the Beach in OBX
So here’s a teaser for the hot summer weather for everyone to enjoy this week from Kim Turano of Holbrook, New York. Kim and her family enjoyed a vacation with Outer Banks Blue over the Memorial Day week in Kill Devil Hills this year in the property “Casa Mia.”
Doug Kennedy’s visit to the Outer Banks Blue
Outer Banks Blue’s staff is known for delivery of great customer service, and our reservations sales team is recognized as one of the best in the business. This isn’t by accident. Company President Tim Cafferty is dedicated to staff training unlike many others. Tim recently brought Doug Kennedy to the Outer Banks to conduct a full day reservations sales training and customer service program so the Outer Banks Blue and Sandbridge Blue Realty Services staff could “sharpen their skills” prior to the upcoming summer season.
Beautiful Morning in Kitty Hawk
The temperatures have broken records both cold and warm so far this year! Groundhog day predicts an earlier Spring and we all are in hopes that this is true. Michelle Niles visits the beach in Kitty Hawk on Thursday February 17 in the morning hours. The water looks blue green, as a tropical island right here on the Outer Banks! Come see and enjoy all that Outer Banks Blue can provide you!
