I have dreamed of visiting the Outerbanks for years. I finally got that opportunity last week and it was definitely the trip of a lifetime. Myself and my two best friends spent the week in one of the rental houses in Rodanthe. It was the perfect location. We had the beach on one side of the house and out of the kitchen window, we had a view of the Sound. We had a very adventurous week from Corolla to Frisco. For our first adventure, we rented a jeep and followed a guide through the sand dunes at Corolla Beach in search of wild horses. Kim did an outstanding job driving through the dunes and we actually saw 17 wild horses on the ride. Our second adventure took us to Buxton where we took a 2 hour horseback ride through the Buxton Woods and on the beach. This was an amazing adventure that I would definitely recommend to anyone. Our guide was wonderful and kept us entertained for the entire ride! Our last adventure was our search for the house in the "Nights in Rodanthe" movie. We had no problem finding the house but did have an issue with finding somewhere to park! We actually ended up stuck in the sand when we tried to turn around to park near the house. We made friends quickly with the tow truck driver at the local gas station! Even with all of our adventures, we found time to relax and enjoy the beach. From our deck, we were able to see dolphins, surfers, wind surfers, birds, and just the beauty of the ocean. Overall we had an AWESOME trip and are planning on bringing the entire family back in June. Thank you Outer Beaches for helping to make this trip most memorable!
