2026 Summer Bookings are at a record setting pace this year! The secret is out—the Outer Banks is the premier destination for family beach vacations. The demand for high-quality accommodations is higher than ever so here are some reasons why booking early is crucial for 2026.

Large Homes Go First

If you are planning a reunion or traveling with multiple families, you likely need a home with 5, 6, or even more bedrooms. These large, spacious properties with private pools and elevators are always the first to book. Waiting until spring often means compromising on location or amenities.

Secure Your Preferred Week

Summer weeks, especially those around the 4th of July, are prime time. To ensure your family gets the specific week that aligns with school schedules and work holidays, booking months in advance is necessary.

Peace of Mind

There is a distinct relief that comes with having your vacation sorted. Once you book, you can stop worrying about availability and start focusing on the fun stuff—like planning your concert outfits or researching the best seafood restaurants.
