Big Homes, Bigger Memories: Why Large Groups Love the Outer Banks

Why Large Groups Love the Outer Banks: Big Homes, Bigger Memories 

When it comes to reconnecting, relaxing, and celebrating life’s moments together, there’s no better backdrop than the Outer Banks. Here, wide beaches meet wide smiles — and our large homes make room for it all.

Whether you’re planning a family reunion, a friends’ getaway, or a multi-family vacation, our spacious homes set the stage for unforgettable experiences. Think sunrise coffee with grandparents on the deck, poolside laughter from the kids, and shared dinners prepared by a private chef in your own gourmet kitchen.

Room to Breathe. Space to Belong. 

Our large homes are designed for gathering. You’ll find:

  • Bedrooms for everyone (and a few extra bunk rooms for the cousins).
  • Open-concept kitchens and dining areas that make mealtime effortless.
  • Private pools, hot tubs, and game rooms for entertainment without ever leaving the house.
  • Beach access just steps away for those golden-hour family walks.

Whether it’s ten people or twenty, everyone has room to unwind — together or apart.

Group Experiences That Bring Everyone Together 

There’s more to the Outer Banks than beautiful beaches — it’s a playground for every age and interest. Here are a few of our favorite group experiences to make your stay even more special:

Boat Charters & Sunset Cruises: Sail along the sound or venture out to sea for dolphin watching, fishing, or simply soaking in the coastal glow.

Golfing for the Crew: Tee off at scenic local courses like Nags Head Golf Links or Kilmarlic Golf Club, where ocean breezes keep every round unforgettable.

Private Chef & Catering Experiences: Bring the restaurant to your rental! Enjoy a custom menu crafted right in your home for an intimate yet effortless evening.

Adventure Recreation: From kayaking and jet-skiing to hang gliding at Jockey’s Ridge, there’s no shortage of thrill for the adventurous souls.

Shopping & Local Finds: Spend an afternoon exploring local boutiques, art galleries, and markets — perfect for souvenirs or group gifts.

And when the sun sets? Gather on the deck for s’mores and stories under a sky full of stars.
