Extras & Peace of Mind
Because you deserve a truly carefree vacation.
Seaside Vacations is proud to partner with Red Sky - Sun Trip Preserver to offer the option to purchase insurance to protect your Outer Banks vacation investment. We highly recommend travel insurance, especially since the Outer Banks is prone to hurricanes. Travel insurance is priced affordably and covers a variety of issues (not just hurricanes) that could impact your vacation such as: sickness, injury or death of you or a family member, business partner, or traveling companion, your principal residence being made uninhabitable by fire, flood, vandalism, or burglary, involuntary termination of employment, military duty, lost baggage, trip delay, and much more. If you decline Travel Insurance and must cancel for any reason or an evacuation is issued before or during your stay, you WILL NOT be eligible for a refund. Please protect your investment!

Dog-Friendly Homes – Bring the whole family (furry ones too!).
Comprehensive Travel Insurance – Peace of mind for life’s “just in case” moments.
Free WiFi – Stay connected when you want, disconnect when you don’t. (See details below.)
About WiFi on the Outer Banks
We love the peaceful island life—but sometimes the WiFi takes it a little too literally. Service is generally reliable, but occasional outages can happen. We’ll work quickly to restore service, though if staying connected is essential, bringing a hotspot is a good backup.
