Awesome Adventure in the Outerbanks
Review Submitted: August 19, 2008
Date of Stay: August 2008
This was our 2nd year in the Beach Break OBX rental. All I can say is it was fantastic again. Weather too was perfect! I would recommend this home in a heartbeat. Location is great directly across from the ocean approximately 5 houses to public beach access. It is well equiped, has a good view of ocean and very spacious. We LOVE it.
Our week adventure included 4 adults 50ish, 4 young adults 20-25 and one 14 year old. Needless to say it was a very busy household but never a dull moment. With the beach, the pool, the hot tub & game room and oh not to forget the Olympics were on in the evening there was never a lack of things to do.
Mid week we did get rain one day so me being the planner said lets go south and take the Oracoke Ferry. We loaded up 2 cars and off we went. Oh believe me they were not happy we were driving 1.5 hrs to put our car on a ferry, but I said “humor me you will have fun”. True to my word we had a great “rainy” day experience. We took the free ferry over to Oracoke and traveled around the island. We then parked and walked around in the warm rain and had a great lunch/dinner and a quick stop to the see the Oracoke lighthouse. Then back in the cars on the ferry and off we went looking forward to a quick stop at Sonic. We are from NY so Sonic is a fun treat for us. We ended our family vacation with a great meal at Miller’s Restaurant on the Bypass. Reviews were great and we were not let down. We had about an hour wait so cocktails on the pier were enjoyed with many photo opportunities. Once seated, the restaurant is spacious and as a party of 10 we had plenty of room. Service was great as was the food. We enjoyed Founder, scallops and awesome Yellow fin Tuna and oh yes a burger of course.
One of our favorite things to do, because it is not an option in Western NY is to utilize the outdoor shower. This is what I look forward to most. It is so refreshing to shower outside with the blue sky or the stars over head. The indoor showers were only used by one of us. As for the outdoor shower there was always a line. Something you would never think of with a house with 4 bathrooms.
Next year due to a family wedding our Outer banks adventure will have to be put on hold, but believe me I will be counting the days until our next trip.
Hope you enjoyed the review feel free to e-mail me with any questions regarding the Kill Devil Hills area.
