Outer Banks Weekend Getaways

Escape to the Beach for a Perfect Long Weekend

Scroll down to see our selection of homes that allow Short Stays.

Need a quick Outer Banks weekend getaway to relax, recharge, and soak up the sun? Coastal Carolina Vacations offers short stays (less than 7 days) on many of our Vacation Homes.

A long weekend at the beach is the perfect way to unwind, reconnect with loved ones, and enjoy a change of scenery. Whether you're looking for a romantic retreat, a fun-filled family trip, or a relaxing solo escape, our beach houses offer the ideal setting for a stress-free mini-vacation.

A Home Away from Home

Unlike a hotel, a beach house gives you the space and privacy to truly relax. With multiple bedrooms, cozy living areas, and a fully equipped kitchen, you can enjoy a comfortable stay with all the conveniences of home.

Steps from the Sand

Maximize your time by staying right on the beach! Wake up to the sound of waves, sip your morning coffee with an ocean view, and spend your days basking in the sun without long drives or crowded public access points.

A Stress-Free Escape

No need to overpack or over-plan—a long weekend at the beach is all about simplicity. Lounge by the water, take leisurely walks along the shore, and savor fresh seafood at a local restaurant. With a beach house rental, everything you need is right at your fingertips.

Make Every Moment Count

A long weekend means limited time, so why waste a second? Renting a beach house lets you settle in quickly, avoid hotel check-in hassles, and focus on what matters—relaxation and fun.

Perfect for Any Occasion

  • Romantic Getaway – Enjoy sunsets on the deck, peaceful beach walks, and quality time together.
  • Family Adventure – Build sandcastles, splash in the waves, and create memories with the kids.
  • Friends’ Weekend – Fire up the grill, sip cocktails by the water, and catch up with your favorite people.
  • Solo Reset – Escape the noise, unwind with a book by the sea, and recharge in a tranquil setting.

Book your Beach House for a Short Stay!

Your perfect long weekend getaway is just a few clicks away. Browse our selection of beachfront rentals and find the ideal home for your next quick escape.
