I want to rent a beach house – family of five, three kids ages 15-11. Looking for a nice beach (water not too cold) interesting surroundings, not too commercial, but not isolated either.
Can go anywhere from Cape Cod to Cape Hatteras, NC, and want to keep costs down.
Any suggestions? I know of Cape Cod, Rehoboth Beach, Ocean City, Va Beach and the Outer Banks. Which is best?
Anywhere along the outer banks of north carolina would be a good choice; Nags Head, Kitty Hawk, and Killdevil Hills consists of more hotels and stores, and the areas from Corolla, Duck, Southern Shores, and the areas beyond KillDevil Hills are pretty quiet areas with rental and residential locations. Va beach is a good choice as well, and is relatively close to a lot of tourist attractions on the southeastern tip of Virginia, and is about 20-30 minutes from Norfolk [which has a pretty nice mall if you like shopping].
Don’t overlook the New Jersey beaches. They’re excellent in summertime. Anywhere from Long Beach Island (Surf City, Ship Bottom, Beach Haven) south to Sea Isle City, Margate, and even the Wildwoods. The best thing about the NJ beaches is that you’re never far from civilization…so you’ll find boardwalks, amusements, etc…and nighttime entertainment. You could even gamble in the Atlantic City casinos and then head back to the quiet beach towns when you’re done. Also, saltwater fishing is free in NJ, no license required.
