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.
