renting in the outer banks

maybe someone has some experience and can help:

I'm a college student (22) and am looking to go down to NC with 5-6
friends to rent a house for a week in the Outer Banks. Problem is,
every realty I can find has a family groups only policy and threatens
any violators with eviction with no refund. We have no problem putting
up an extra security deposit or whatever may be required, we just want
a week at the beach. If anyone can suggest a friendly realtor or a way
to get around this policy, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Anton

Maybe they have had enough of college kids renting a place and drinking and
partying all night long.

Don't go strictly by the info on the Web sites; make a few phone
calls. Of course, even if you find an agency that -says it's OK,
make sure the contract you get has the right words in it. Maybe a
more carefully worded Google search will turn up some promising
leads.

That said, my sister and a group of her friends have been renting in
Duck and farther north every fall for years, and until my wife and I
started joining them a few years ago, nobody in the party was related
to one another, and no questions were ever asked. Of course, the fact
that we're all certified old fogeys might have something to do with
that.

Ideas: 1. Adoption. Instant family, but has inheritance issues.
or 2. Rent in the name of your guardian uncle, a stepbrother
and your illegitimate 1/2 brother. Seek the others in under cover
of darkness. [R]

The outer banks are very much family oriented. I doubt they will change
their policies and rent to non-families, unless the economy is really bad
and they have many vacancies. For college kids, you're likely to get a
better welcome at Virginia Beach, Ocean City, Dewey Beach or Rohoboth Beach.
