The Coastside Team
Brittany Bair - Founder & REALTOR | Coastside Properties + Coastside Stays
Hey there! I’m Brittany — a long-time Outer Banks local, real estate agent, and co-founder of Coastside Stays. I’ve lived, worked, and raised my family here, and I love sharing the OBX lifestyle with others, whether they’re buying a home, visiting for a week, or investing in a rental property.
After years of helping clients purchase second homes and vacation rentals through Coastside Properties, it became clear that there was a need for a different kind of management company — one that’s local, hands-on, and deeply focused on both owner success and guest experience. That’s how Coastside Stays was born.
I love that I get to combine my knowledge of the market with my passion for service and design. Whether I’m coordinating a new listing, prepping a home for the season, or welcoming guests, I’m always thinking about how to make each stay and each partnership something special.
When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me chasing my kids on the beach, grabbing a coffee in town, or spending time with my husband and our close-knit OBX crew.
Lauren Hayes Palmer - Manager & REALTOR | Coastside Properties + Coastside Stays
Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m a North Carolina native who fell in love with the Outer Banks man years ago and eventually made it my full-time home. What started as a dream of raising our family in the Outer Banks, quickly turned into a passion for helping others experience this incredible place for themselves — whether through finding the right home or creating memorable vacations.
Coastside Stays grew from that passion. I joined Brittany with the goal of offering thoughtful, high-quality rental management that feels personal and hands-on. I’m all about the details — from helping homeowners maximize their property’s potential to making sure each guest feels at home from the moment they arrive.
When I’m not working with our team or checking in on properties, I’m usually enjoying beach time with my family, exploring local restaurants, or soaking in a quiet sunset. I’m so grateful to live and work in a place that brings joy to so many — and to help others make the most of their time here.
