What Our Guests Say

From weddings and milestone birthdays to corporate offsites and family reunions on the Outer Banks.

"The ceremony on the dunes with the Atlantic behind us. The reception on the pool deck at golden hour. 60 of our closest family and friends, all sleeping on-site. LuxStay executed every detail flawlessly."

Jennifer & Michael R.Destination Wedding · September 2024
The Fitzgerald

"28 people for a strategy offsite. The baby grand piano floor, the catering kitchen, the cinema for presentations — it was better than any hotel conference room we've ever booked. We'll be back every year."

Jennifer K., VP of MarketingCorporate Retreat · March 2025
The Mark Twain

"Booking direct made all the difference. The team knew the property inside out, helped us plan the arrival, and there were zero platform surprises. We saved over $4,000 vs the Airbnb listing and got far more personal service."
