Delight in the beachside landscape of Southern Shores
Enjoy the entertainment and other features of Southern Shores. Renowned for its beaches, dolphin watching and seaside, this city welcomes all visitors. With a vacation rental, you get a home away from home—many rentals offer full kitchens and outdoor grills for some home cooking.
Discover vineyards and boardwalks in Southern Shores
If you can pull yourself away from the sun-splashed decks and bubbling al fresco hot tubs of your Southern Shores vacation rentals for a spell, it's certainly worth heading north to quaint and charming Duck Town. There, the Town of Duck Boardwalk Park offers a winding, water-top walkway over the pretty Currituck Sound _ it's perfect ground for picnickers and birders. That's also where you can join excursions across the bay to Jarvisburg, home to Sanctuary Vineyards and their on-site tasting rooms.
Southern Shores is fun by the ocean
Just one glimpse at Southern Shores on the map should be enough to reveal what really drives people to this corner of the Outer Banks each summer: The ocean. The Atlantic caresses the whole eastern coastline of the town, giving way to soft, sloping beaches and some darn beautiful Southern Shores vacation rentals with views over the rollers. The result is a whole host of seaside enjoyments. You can sunbathe and splash in the shallows. You can wax down the surfboard and whizz over the swells of nearby riding spots. You can charter boats for fishing outings.
Get sun kissed in Southern Shores
Southern Shores vacation rentals go into hibernation during the winter months, when the Atlantic is wild and the frothing waves bring colder weather to the Outer Banks region. Much better is to come here with the crowds in the summer, between the months of June and August. That's when you can look forward to temperatures in the middle of the 80s, along with hot sea breezes. Spring and fall are also great times to settle in the villas, offering fewer people on the sands and mild, drier days to boot.
