Outer Banks, NC Ranks As Top Ten Romantic Escape

Coastal Living magazine recognizes the barrier islands of North Carolina as one of the most romantic places in the world. ResortQuest offers a variety of vacation rental properties located on these beautiful barrier islands…known as the Outer Banks.

OUTER BANKS, NC (PRWeb) February 23, 2007 -- In its January/February issue Coastal Living magazine listed the islands of the Outer Banks (http://www.resortquest.com/Destinations/OUTERBANKS) among its Top 10 Romantic Escapes in America. The article states that the Outer Banks offer "the most elementally 'out there' experience of any bridge-accessible U.S. destination. Standing on a thin ribbon of sand, with the mainland out of sight over the western horizon and burly Atlantic Ocean waves thundering in from the east, you truly feel untethered from your everyday world." The article also mentioned how easy it is for visitors to slip away to find their own "private stretch of beach, with vivid stars overhead, moonlight-silvered surf at your feet, the sea breeze tousling your hair--and magic ready to happen."

ResortQuest offers guests this kind of magic with a wide selection of Outer Banks vacation rentals (http://www.resortquest.com/Destinations/OUTERBANKS). ResortQuest offers luxurious and fully-equipped Outer Banks rentals - from 4-bedroom villas to 12-bedroom "castles" - all right beside miles of pristine beaches and just a short drive from championship offshore fishing, golf, biking, nature tours, shopping, dining and more! For more information on visiting the Outer Banks, visit ResortQuest.com, or call 1-800-962-0201.
