    Looking to rent a place on the beach next May.

    I've been looking for a house to rent for two weeks on the water on the Outer Banks but not having a lot of luck. There are many that are "pet-friendly" but they really mean dog-friendly only. We travel with two Birman cats and for some reason the houses won't accept cats (at least none I've found so far).

    Open to suggestions of other places to check out that would be on the coast and ocean front....any suggestions? We don't really want to go further south than the Outer Banks.....it's about a 16 hour drive and long enough.

    I'll check with a co-worker of mine, he goes there often and his wife works in real estate. Any particular place on the Outer Banks?

    No particular place.......there was one place on the beach in Corolla but with the sand dune in front you couldn't actually see the beach from the house (and they haven't come back to say if cats would be allowed). We're thinking that Corolla's too far north.....everytime we want to check out other places, restaurants, etc., we'd be driving south a fair bit. I'd say we don't want to be at the very north or the very south.....any place in between would be fine.

    I'll do some checking too. Several people I know have places at OBX............. Do you want to be ocean front/ocean view or it doesn't matter

    We have been going through Sun Reality the past couple of years. Atlantic Reality is also another we have look at.
    Kitty Hawk to Nags Head is where the majority of the restaurants are. Corolla is nice but traffic is terrible. It's not to far from Duck which has a few restaurants but we like staying in the middle, Kill Devil Hills.

    We'd prefer to be ocean front or possibly sound front. But I've done a LOT of checking on the internet and it's appearing that they'll rent if you have dogs but not cats. Thanks for checking Sandra!

    I would go sound side. Have stayed on both sides and the sunsets over the sound are just awesome.

    </td></tr></table> Yes that is very nice. My inlaws (outlaws) just sold there house on the sound side very nice sunsets. I looked a few years ago to find one that could take cats and had a hard time. I had a friend take the cats for couple of days and just took the dog. Aslo the sound side is alot less crowded when you want to relax a little and have some piece and quite. Wish I could help boss, sorry.

    If something happens and you need a place Al let me know as a friend of mine has a house there and does not allow cats as they "spray" but would make an exception as he owes me a few favors !!
