Rental Locations Explained

OCEANFRONT:
No units between the Oceanfront unit and the beach. The distance to the water may vary, but there are no units between you and the ocean. With very few exceptions, most Oceanfront units have a good view of the Ocean with an easy walk to the water. View our Outer Banks Vacation Rentals Oceanfront.
OCEANSIDE:
Units are located between the Ocean and US 158 in Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head. In Duck and Southern Shores, units are located between the ocean and NC 12. In South Nags Head, units are located between the ocean and NC 12 (Cape Hatteras National Park Road). All oceanside homes have at least two houses between the property and the ocean. Distance to beach access varies and you may have to cross a two lane road to get to the beach. Please reference individual property descriptions and map for details. Many of these have some ocean view. Most properties on the Oceanside have a very short walk to the beach. View our oceanside rentals.
