Some of these places are frightfully expensive to us (Two nights at Sanderling Resort could have bought me a round trip plane ticket to Bermuda or Puerto Rico!) but I appreciate all the suggestions.
Head up to Virginia Beach. You can get there in about the same amount of time as it takes to get to the outer banks (3-1/2-4 hours). If you stay on one of the ends of the boardwalk and not in the middle you will have a great time.
