Cape Hatteras Weekend Getaways

Escape to Cape Hatteras for a Perfect Long Weekend

Need a quick Cape Hatteras weekend getaway to relax, recharge, and soak up the sun? Hatteras Realty offers flexible short stays (less than 7 days) on many of our Cape Hatteras vacation homes—making it easy to sneak away for a long weekend along one of the most breathtaking coastlines on the Outer Banks.

A long weekend on Cape Hatteras is the perfect way to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy the natural beauty of the OBX. Whether you’re planning a romantic retreat, a family adventure, a friends’ trip, or a quiet solo escape, our beach houses across Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon, Buxton, Frisco, and Hatteras Village provide the ideal backdrop for a stress-free coastal mini-vacation.

A Home Away from Home

Unlike a hotel, a Cape Hatteras beach house gives you the space, comfort, and privacy to relax fully. With multiple bedrooms, comfortable living areas, and fully equipped kitchens, you can settle in and enjoy all the conveniences of home—perfect for slow mornings, easy meals, and peaceful evenings on the deck.

Steps from the Sand

Maximize your time by staying close to the beach. Wake up to the sound of Atlantic waves, sip coffee with an ocean view, and walk straight to the shoreline without crowded access points. From oceanfront homes in Avon to peaceful retreats in Buxton, family-friendly cottages in Frisco, and sound-to-sea views in Hatteras Village, Cape Hatteras makes the beach feel effortless and immediate.

A Stress-Free OBX Escape

Cape Hatteras is all about simplicity and slow living. Take long walks on the beach, explore local shops, climb the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, cast a line from the surf, or enjoy seafood at a waterfront restaurant. With a vacation home, everything you need for a relaxing weekend—space, comfort, quiet—is already in place.

Make Every Moment Count

A long weekend flies by, so why waste time on crowded hotels or complicated check-ins? With a Cape Hatteras vacation rental, you can settle in quickly, spread out easily, and jump right into vacation mode.

Perfect for Any Occasion

  • Romantic Getaway – Sunset views, quiet beaches, cozy decks, and peaceful mornings. 
  • Family Adventure – Build sandcastles, splash in the waves, and make unforgettable memories. 
  • Friends’ Weekend – Grill out, share cocktails by the water, and catch up in a coastal setting. 
  • Solo Reset – Escape the noise, enjoy a book by the sea, and reconnect with yourself.
