Family Affordability on the Outer Banks

One of the best things to come out of tough times is the renewed emphasis on families. It seems we all come together when times are tough. Often in tough economic times it is important to be able to escape for a while even if only for a week. One place that is very friendly for those on a budget is North Carolina’s Outer Banks.

The Outer Banks has continued to be a destination for those looking to find the most value for their money. Our biggest attractions, Wright Brothers Memorial, Jockeys Ridge State Park, Lighthouses of the Outer Banks, Whalehead Club, Atlantic Ocean, sounds, and the beach, are all free. It is possible to see the most sought after attractions of the Outer Banks on any budget.

The Outer Banks has long been known for its reasonably priced accommodations in both hotels and vacation rentals. Often the best deal can be found in renting an Outer Banks vacation home. Often vacationers see the price associated with a vacation home and ask, how does it make a vacation affordable? If you were to take the weekly amount of the rental and divide it by the number of bedrooms you will see, it is often less than a hotel room. Unlike a hotel room you also have the rest of the home, some of which include things like private pools, kayaks, bikes, and other amenities.

A significant amount of savings can be had, for those who don’t mind cooking on vacation. Many of today’s Outer Banks homes are equipped with kitchens that would make a chef proud. A family dining in breakfast, lunch and dinner can easily save hundreds if not thousands during the week of their stay.

If you couple the savings you can find visiting many of the Outer Banks free attractions with the savings of a vacation home, you will find yourself having a vacation that is easy on the budget but long on family fun. What can beat a week enjoying the best of the Outer Banks? We look forward to seeing you this summer.
