Keep your vacation stress free! Pack your casual beach clothes & essentials and let Ocean Atlantic Rentals deliver the rest!

CURBSIDE PICKUP/CONTACTLESS DELIVERY: 1-800-635-9559

All 4 of our stores (Duck, Corolla, KDH & Avon) are open 7 days a week from 9am-5pm.

This season we will be offering same day delivery on orders placed before 1pm.

We have spent a considerable amount of time and effort into creating and posting policies regarding:

• Disinfecting, cleaning and handling of OAR rental gear

• How we are serving our OAR customers safely (curbside/delivery, etc)

JUST RENT IT! Since 1979, OAR has been serving families with quality gear for their beach vacation fun, their baby needs, or the even the beach cottage, all at reasonable daily & weekly rental rates.  Reservations before your arrival are strongly encouraged, and can be made at www.OceanAtlanticRentals.com or toll-free at 1-800-635-9559 every day of the week!

Everything can be delivered to your door; from bikes to surf boards, kayaks and paddleboards, OAR stocks the fun stuff to enjoy in the water, or on land. Back at your beach home, OAR has you covered with gas grill rentals, rollaway beds, beach towels, and even dog crates!  Bike rentals for the entire family are just a call away at Ocean Atlantic Rentals, or get around town on a Golf Cart LSV.  These street legal golf carts are a great way to explore the villages, or get your family and gear to the beach everyday if your vacation home is some distance from the Atlantic ocean.  If you are traveling with small children, OAR has cribs, high chairs, gates, and even play yards and strollers for the little ones, made just for the beach!

You don’t have to buy cheap beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers while you are here. Just rent them at Ocean Atlantic Rentals, and get quality gear that is built to last. Individual items may be rented, or Beach Value packages are available where you will really get your money's worth!

Cabana services are available with the OBX Umbrella Service! Your items will be setup each morning, and taken down every evening at your beach spot!  We will text message you each day as your gear is ready for use, and can even provide iced coolers each day with your setup.

If you prefer to visit one of our 4 local store locations, no problem! Stop in and checkout the gear for yourself at on of our rental centers, located in the Corolla Light Town Center, in the Village of Duck, on the Kill Devil Hills bypass (serving all of Kitty Hawk and Nags Head), and down on Hatteras Island, located in Avon, right next to Outer Beaches Realty.  

Staying in the 4x4 area of the northern beaches near Carova? No problem again, just let OAR handle the delivery to the off-road area for you, or pickup your gear at our Corolla store and save money!

Planning an incredible beach wedding, or even a casual back-yard oyster roast? Let the staff at OAR bring their local knowledge and help you do it right! OAR’s wedding and event division is located in our Kill Devil Hills showroom, and offers tables, chairs, tents, dishware, linen, and so much more to make your party incredible!

Event items can be seen at www.OARevent.com or call toll free at 888-627-3836.

Belinda Pleva grew up serving ice cream out of her parent’s shop. She loved being part of what she calls “a happy business.” “I love it when people come into the shop and you hand them something, and it makes them smile,” Pleva says. “That moment when you hand an ice cream cone over to a little kid and their eyes just light up. That’s what I love about the ice cream business.”

 

In 1994, Pleva opened up her own ice cream and chocolate shop, Big Buck’s Ice Cream, in the brand-new Timbuk II Shopping Center in Corolla. Business was good, but something was missing.

 

“I was never satisfied with the ingredients in the ice creams and chocolates you could purchase back then. I wanted to serve my customers delicious flavors with ingredients they could actually pronounce,” Pleva says.

 

Pleva took a trip to Italy to study the gelaterias. She fell in love with the incredible flavors, and when she returned home to the Outer Banks, she began working tirelessly to perfect the flavors in her own ice cream.

 

Big Buck’s homemade ice cream combined the flavors of the Italian gelaterias and the richness of American ice cream. It quickly became a tourist favorite. After having the same unsatisfactory experience with the readymade chocolates she was selling, she also took a trip to Brussels to learn more about making handmade chocolates. Pleva brought the chocolate-making experience right back with her, and the result was the finest quality of chocolates on the Outer Banks.

 

After her huge success in the Corolla shop, Pleva was able to open up three more shops—one in Kitty Hawk, one in Manteo and one in Duck.
