House Or Rental
There are so many beautiful vacation homes in the Outer Banks, and you may find that it’s actually more affordable to rent a home for the week (or even a partial week) than to stay in a hotel. When searching for a place to stay, we recommend checking out the following rental companies, which offer a wide variety of homes in Duck: - Twiddy (twiddy.com) - Carolina Designs Realty & Vacation Homes (carolinadesigns.com) - Beach Realty (beachrealtync.com) - Village Realty OBX (villagerealtyobx.com) If you want to be within walking distance of the other wedding weekend activities and also to many shops and restaurants in Duck, we suggest searching for rental homes in the following neighborhoods: Duck Ridge Shores Bayberry Bluffs Saltaire Neighborhood Poteskeet village Poteskeet Schooner Ridge neighborhood Duck Landing Neighborhood Ocean Dunes Sea Pines Four Seasons Sea Acres Georgetown Sands Sand Dollar Shores Sea Hawk Neighborhood Tuckahoe Drive If you plan to rent for the full week, we suggest booking a Sunday-Sunday stay, since we will be hosting a post-wedding beach and pool day on Saturday!
House Or Rental
Since our wedding falls after Labor Day, it's considered the off-season in the Outer Banks, meaning rental prices are lower and there's often more flexibility for shorter stays. If you are looking for a partial-week rental, Airbnb and Vrbo are great options to explore.

Travel Note

When you RSVP, please let us know where you plan on staying so that we can plan for the appropriate amount of shuttles. For the welcome party on Thursday, we will not be providing transportation and encourage you to stay in Duck so that you can be within walking distance!
