on 11/22/2005 I have spent several "College Vacations" in Avon, Nags Head, and other Outer Banks locations. If you are renting a house, which I recommend, try not to exceed the maximum occupancy by too much. They are awfully quick to throw people out. DO NOT drink and drive...PoPo is eager to arrest offenders.
