Well, I have just reserved and paid down half on an oceanfront cottage in Kitty Hawk. With taxes, it came to $1365, and that's before the high season! (I reserved it for the week of June 6th-13th.) This was a favourite childhood destination of mine, and I'm really looking forward to taking my kids there for the first time...my parents need a little change of pace, so I'm having them come also. We're all really looking forward to it.
A couple of interesting points on the Outer Banks for those unfamiliar with the place:
1. The Elizabethan Gardens, located in Manteo. Definitely worth visiting if you appreciate the beauty and aesthetics of formal gardens.
2. The Wright Brothers National Memorial, Kill Devil Hills. Pretty cool.
3. Currituck Lighthouse, Corolla. One of my favourite lighthouses! It's made of red brick and looks pretty neat, actually.
4. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Hatteras Island. The tallest lighthouse in America. And what a stunning view!
5. The Lost Colony National Outdoor Theatre, Roanoke Island. Nice change of pace if you want something different during your beach vacation.
6. Ocracoke Island. Lots of history, shopping and more. The best thing about Ocracoke, in my opinion, is the wild ponies!
7. Various activities. There's no shortage of things to do here! Fishing, kite-flying, cycling, golfing - you name it. Overall I'd recommend this place to anyone!
