The Wedding Website of Lauren Price and Andrew Kratz
Local airports, places to stay, and other travel tips to help you and your loved ones make the most of your vacation to the Outer Banks! Note: The VRBOs and AirBnbs listed below are located around Corolla (pronounced “Cah-RAH-lah”) and are just a sampling from many. The majority of these houses are more flexible as far as minimum stays. If you are looking for a weeklong rental, they are available through VRBO and Airbnb, and through the suggested realty websites below. There are a variety of other options and locations throughout the island. This by no means is an exhaustive list. Feel free to use this as a starting point, and search on the websites with your own criteria!

Travel Note

Driving to OBX

For guests travelling from Southeastern Pennsylvania, to avoid 95 traffic around Washington DC and to take the fastest route, we like to travel via US-13 S along the coast through Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia! This scenic route takes you through coastal farmlands and across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Pro tip: watch your speed on US-13 S in Virginia. We do not want you to have to return to Virginia for a speeding ticket!

Travel Note

Island Driving Tip

If you are driving from other towns on the island (especially on wedding day), allow plenty of extra time. On the Outer Banks, there is often one main road that travels north and south along the island. As you travel further north approaching our wedding venue through the towns of Southern Shores, Duck, and Corolla, the four lane business route converges to two lanes, creating a lot of traffic. Whatever your GPS estimates on wedding day, double it!

Flight

Norfolk International Airport (ORF)

ORF is about 2 hours and 20 minutes away, the closest international airport for our out-of-state guests! For our Pennsylvania friends and family, feel free to fly if that is your preference. But, with total travel time, car rental, etc., it may make more sense for you to drive. Please travel however you feel most comfortable!

Rental Car

Norfolk International Airport

2200 Norview Avenue, Norfolk, VA 23518
 

Norfolk International Airport offers rental car services from brands like Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz and more!

Flight

Regional Airports (MQI, ONX, FFA)

For our pilot friends or guests who have access to smaller aircraft, this is for you! Dare County Regional Airport (MQI) is about 1 hour south of Corolla located in Manteo. Currituck County Airport (ONX) is about 1 hour northwest, which you would pass before coming onto the island if you were driving. First Flight Airport (FFA) is located 45 minutes south. A very unique experience for aviation enthusiasts right on the grounds of the Wright Brothers Memorial!
