Pearl Week at Slaycation

OBX vacations shaped our childhoods.

Some of our most treasured memories were made right here— long, simple days filled with salt air, family dinners, and uninterrupted time together. Those weeks meant more to us than we understood at the time. Looking back, they were gifts.

We also know that not every family has the opportunity to experience a week like that.

Because of that, each year we reserve one week at SLAYCATION to gift to a family who simply needs time — time to rest, reconnect, celebrate, heal, or just breathe.

We call it Pearl Week at Slaycation.

Our daughter Margaux’s name means “pearl,” and to us, pearls represent something rare, strong and beautiful. The memories made here feel the same way.

If someone comes to mind  — a family who has gone above and beyond for others or is walking through a difficult season — we invite you to nominate them below.

All nominations are reviewed privately by our family, and the selected family is notified personally. We approach this respectfully and with deep care.

These beaches have given so much to us. Sharing them in this way is one small way we hope to pass that gift forward.

With gratitude,

Parker & Madelaine
