Plan Your 2025 OBX Vacation This Holiday Season
December and the holidays offer a great opportunity for families and friends to come together and start planning their 2025 Outer Banks vacation. Here are some discussion points to guide your planning:

1. Choosing the Right Town

   • Should we stay closer to the bustling Nags Head, or enjoy the tranquility of Duck or Corolla?

   • Would we prefer proximity to historic sites like Roanoke Island or Cape Hatteras?

2. Finding the Perfect Rental

   • Do we want an oceanfront property, or is soundside living more our style?

   • How many bedrooms do we need, and what amenities (pool, pet-friendly, etc.) are non-negotiable?

3. Best Time to Visit

   • Should we plan for peak summer activities or enjoy a quieter offseason trip in spring or fall?

   • Are there specific events (like OBX Seafood Festival or Outer Banks Marathon) we’d like to attend?

4. Activities and Interests

   • Do we want to focus on water sports like surfing or paddleboarding, or enjoy land-based fun like biking and dune climbing?

   • Are there specific attractions like Jockey’s Ridge, Wright Brothers National Memorial, or wild horse tours we can’t miss?

5. Budget Considerations

   • How much are we planning to spend on accommodations, dining, and activities?

   • Are there any discounts or early booking specials we can take advantage of?
