2. Ghosts and ghouls? We've got em!

For an area that lost a whole colony of people and home to countless shipwrecks, we've got our share of ghost stories! From festive to frightening, the Outer Banks hosts it all in October. Experience one of the OBX's Halloween-themed pop-up bars, Ghostly Gallies. Lots of tricks and treats, for adults and kids alike!

4. Curl up in a hammock and let the tryptophan take over

Our Outer Banks vacation homes are the perfect place for a family Thanksgiving, and you don't have to deal with sleeping on Grandma's couch! We have more than enough space for your extended family, or a family of two. Cook in one of our gourmet kitchens or enjoy a fine Thanksgiving feast at one of our Outer Banks restaurants.

5. Say 'no' to the big box stores this Black Friday

Standing in long lines to fight someone for a TV is so 2000s. Do some local shopping on the Outer Banks for a truly personal gift, or stay in your pjs and book your next summer vacay with Sun Realty. Between Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, you're sure to find a local gift or many for your family! Many OBX shops have extra savings on Cyber Monday too, so keep the cheer here - even online!

6. There's no place like a beach home for the holidays. Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, or Kwanzaa, we got you!

Let's face it: no one needs another tacky sweater or goofy coffee mug. What we all want this gift-giving season is a great vacation. Large or small, families love gathering around our cozy Outer Banks beach homes to enjoy Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa for fun with their loved ones. Stay a few days or a few weeks and celebrate your blessings beach-style!

9. Save your Benjamins

President's Day has become another occasion for a sale, it seems. With low rates on most Outer Banks beach homes, and Uncle Sam helping you out with a Federal holiday, it's a great time to visit.
