Surrounded by the North Atlantic Ocean, Outer Banks is a series of barrier islands that begins in Virginia and ends at Ocracoke. Cape Hatteras National Seashore is the place to be if you want to admire the well-maintained sands graced by the rolling waves. It is home to Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, the tallest traditional lighthouse in the country. You will fall in love with its breathtaking beauty at first sight, but you will be even more intrigued by its storied past once you dive deep. Beneath the waters lie hundreds of shipwrecks from the earlier American wars and settlements - the reason behind the island being nicknamed ‘Graveyard of the Atlantic’.

To recharge yourself and explore this island to the fullest, make sure to book accommodation that includes all conveniences and comforts, including cooking amenities. Scroll down for a list of the best hotels with kitchenette near Outer Banks, North Carolina.
