We%26#39;re planning on a week in OBX this summer, never been but have vacationed in the South NJ area for almost 10 years and we%26#39;re looking for something different this year :) We (2 couples/3 kids total ages 8-5) have found a great place in S.Nags Head - almost like having two separate spaces - for each family plus a private pool and hot tub :) Anyway, was wondering.. how far from an actual ';town/village'; are we in S. Nags Head... semi-beach front/fronts beach road location) nothing fancy, just maybe a quick morning walk with the kids for coffee/bagels (what can I say, we%26#39;re from NY, bagels are a big part of breakfast! :) )
Thanks!
New to Outer Banks...
Visit the website obxconnection.com and check out their forum. There is a wealth of information on there and you will have a pretty quick response to your questions. We, too, are visiting for the first time this summer and I%26#39;ve had a lot of help from this forum and that forum. Another good one is insiders/com/outerbanks
Good luck and have fun!

It really depends where the house is exactly. S. Nags Head is roughly 7 miles long and is primarily residential. It goes from MP 16.5 to MP 22. The closer you are to MP16.5 the closer you are to being walking distance to coffee %26amp; bagels.
A lot of people love Sam %26amp; Omies (samandomies.net). I%26#39;m pretty sure that will be the closest establishment to where you are staying (someone please correct me if i%26#39;m wrong).
S. Nags Head is a great area esp. for kids as the streets are less busy than Nags Head and north.
We stayed in that area last year, it was great quiet but not far from every thing else having a SUV will make it better as you can drive on the beach at Origin inlet .
I think there is a NY bagel place just north of Whale bone Junction not far from your rental I’m sure you will be happy there here too is a site for new comers to look at

There are two NY Bagel stores on the OBX. One in Kill Devil Hills (KDH) at MP7 (everything goes by mileposts, it%26#39;s easier than street address) on the Bypass (Rt 158, the main drag as opposed to Rt 12, which is called Beach Road.) The other is in the Outer Banks Mall in Nags Head at MP14, also on the Bypass. The OBX is an island chain made up of nothing but town after town. The is no real division between them, except the signage. You%26#39;ll be close to Nags Head, but I would not recommed walking there from SNH. The speed limit on the Bypass is 50MPH and there are very few areas to cross. Too many drivers are not paying attention to their driving, instead they are looking around at all of the great places they want to visit or see. You can walk along the sidewalks/bikepaths in SNH without any problems. You can also walk to Sam %26amp; Omie%26#39;s(MP16.5) but I wouldn%26#39;t venture much further. Take a look at these two websites: www.SunnyDayGuide.com and VGNet.com, there%26#39;s plenty of info and some great coupons.
