Our Outer Banks Rentals: Come And Enjoy The Outer Banks Like It Was Meant To Be.
If you are interested in vacationing in the Outer Banks, perhaps you might consider our Outer Banks rentals. We have two, one located in
Duck NC
and one in
Salvo NC.
We purchased the house in Duck in 2002. The name of the house (yes, we name houses in the Outer Banks) is MemorSeas of a Lifetime. How did we come up with that name? Quite frankly we’ve gotten mostly good reviews but some who do hate the name. I actually found a site that was for a wedding being planned where the groom was apologizing for the name ... I guess he’ll get over it eventually. So, how did we come up with the name? Well, it’s a bit of a story, but here goes. The tradition in Duck NC was to come up with a name that had something to do with "Duck", like "Duck on Inn" or something like that. By 2002, most of the original names using "Duck" were gone, and people started to come up with other names. As we were trying to come up with a name, we came across this poem by Henry Van Dyke:
Favorite people, favorite places, favorite memories of the past.
These are the joys of a lifetime; these are the things that last.
It seemed to give us a theme, as we had been going to the Outer Banks about 10 years at that point, and certainly many of our "memories of a lifetime" were made here. So, I had my children play around with the concept, and my oldest daughter came up with "MemorSeas", hence the name:
"MemorSeas of a Lifetime".

Our second Outer Banks rental was built in 2006. It is called Shore’s Heaven. As mentioned earlier, it is located in Salvo, down on Hatteras Island. We named this house Shore’s Heaven. The story of naming this house was much simpler. No alliterations, no constraints around using the town’s name, just name it what we felt about the location. For us, seeing Salvo and looking over a relatively empty beach, where our development backed up to 15 miles of wide open park service land meant that this area would always be unspoiled by development. It “sure was heaven” for us, hence the name (with a Philly twist since we go down the “shore” not to the beach):
Shores Heaven.

Like everywhere in the Outer Banks, we rent our OBX vacation rentals primarily to family groups. We have rented to non-family groups in the past, and have had success with that, so we would consider the
right non-family group.
Not quite what you are looking for? Maybe our Outer Banks rentals are too large for your group or, worse yet, the weeks are already taken? Then you may want to consider looking at these
