Yes!!  There’s more than one island, more than one beach and more vacation fun than you’ve had in a long, long time.  There is something for everyone.  Go Zip Lining or climb a very unique lighthouse or try several beaches and find your favorite.  But, don’t leave out the great, delicious food that you know North Carolina can deliver.  Yum!!  Try one of several restaurants or purchase seafood fresh from the boat and cook it in your vacation rental home.

Hear all about Annita’s recent trip and how much fun she had and how you can go and have the same fun, plus more.
