Condos, hotels, vacation rental homes… there are no shortage of accommodation options when planning a stay on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Below are places that we recommend.
The Sanderling Resort
Tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and Currituck Sound, The Sanderling Resort offers 123 guest rooms and 6 residences . Sanderling Resort was voted the #1 Resort in the South in Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards. As the only full-service resort on the Outer Banks, The Sanderling recently marked our 40th anniversary with a full property refresh. The updates include new interiors by Ward + Gray, a restaurant from chef Vivian Howard, an elevated event and wedding venue, and experiences designed to make the resort a true year-round escape.
Seaside Vacations
Discover nearly 450 exceptional vacation rentals across the Outer Banks, from charming coastal cottages and pet‑friendly condos to lavish oceanfront estates with private pools and hot tubs—spanning Corolla, Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, Manteo, and Hatteras Island. Each stay includes hassle‑free perks like free Wi‑Fi, linens, keyless entry, and beach gear, plus exclusive Club Seaside discounts on local adventures (including Kitty Hawk Kites activities). Flexible planning options like interest‑free layaway, beach gear credits, and book‑direct savings make it easier than ever to secure your OBX getaway.
Kite Flyer
Oceanfront and located near Jockey’s Ridge State Park, Kite Flyer is centered at one of the best spots on the Outer Banks! Numerous terrific restaurants are nearby, and Kitty Hawk Kites’ flagship store and Jockey’s Ridge Crossing are just across the street.
Learn to fly like the Wright brothers on the sand dunes and enjoy the area’s award-winning beaches that are right outside your door. Home has 4 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and is well-equipped for an unforgettable Outer Banks getaway with family and friends.
Hang Glider
Thanks to the location of Hang Glider across from Jockey’s Ridge State Park and the absence of nearby public beach accesses, the beach in-front of this home is one of the least crowded on the entire area of the Outer Banks that’s north of Oregon Inlet!
Book a hang gliding lesson with Kitty Hawk Kites next door and learn how to glide over the soft, rolling sand dunes across the street. Enjoy fresh seafood at one of the many outstanding area restaurants in Nags Head, and forget about the hustle and bustle of everyday life as you lounge on the beach with a cold drink in your hand.
Kitty Hawk Kites proudly partners with a select group of local businesses that enhance our guests’ experiences in the Outer Banks. Inclusion on this page is based on mutual partnership, customer experience, and alignment with our brand values. We evaluate listings periodically to ensure quality and fairness across the Outer Banks community.
