Semi Oceanfront Outer Banks Rentals | Fronts Beach Rd Outer Banks

Experience the perfect blend of convenience and value with our semi oceanfront Outer Banks rentals. These homes sit on the west side of the Beach Road (NC 12 in Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head, or NC 1243 in South Nags Head) and may have one or more properties between them and the Atlantic. While a two-lane road must be crossed to reach the shoreline, most offer impressive ocean views and are just a short walk from the sand—ideal for families or groups seeking a laid-back beach escape.

With direct booking rates that fit your budget, you’ll enjoy top-notch amenities and easy access to local restaurants, shops, and attractions. Whether you’re admiring semi oceanfront views from your deck or exploring everything the Outer Banks has to offer, these rentals promise a memorable coastal retreat. 

Book now and experience why our semi oceanfront homes are among the most sought-after vacation rental options on the Outer Banks!
