I am looking for employment and a housing situation for the summer of 2001. If anyone could help in steering me in
the right direction, and what avenues to pursue, that would be great! Thanks A lot, Colin Lyons
We are a small contracting company that is bidding to do the repairs at the Bodie Island lighthouse at Oregon Inlet. We are looking for inexpensive living quarters for 8 people for the months of June and July, 2001. We need to get a reasonable idea of the cost to make a good bid. We would prefer it to be one large place. If anyone knows of a place please contact me ASAP. I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks, BJ Kuhlmann I've booked a place in Avon, oceanfront, for late May. Can anyone tell me what Avon is like? I've browsed lots of sites, and have a sense that it's fairly busy with shops and lots of rentals, but am really hoping that it doesn't feel as congested and touristy as parts of the northern outer banks seem to be. If someone could provide an honest description of the area I'd really appreciate it. My family and I are wanting to visit a lighthouse, what is the closest lighthouse to Raleigh -Durham?
The outer banks get less busy the further south on the strand you travel. Nags Head and Kitty Hawk are on the northern end, which is a little busier, but my friends who have kids say it's perfect. My wife and I like Hatteras down towards the southern end where it's not busy at all. We stay at the Seagull Motel, which is very nice. We sun, rent surfboards (I suck), enjoy bonfires on the beach, eat fresh seafood at The Pilot House restaurant (grilled, herbed
wahoo!), and completely fall apart with relaxation. Believe me, we just went on an expensive Caribbean trip and (it was nice, but) I would totally trade it for time at Hatteras.
Hi, I'm looking for an inexpensive motel that allows dogs for the week after Easter
Our friend plans on meeting us in Avon in October, 2001.She would like to fly.
What airline do you suggest from New Orleans to the Outer Banks?
My friend and I are traveling to the Outer Banks to work this summer. However we don't know how best to get there. We'll be flying in to Baltimore International airport on the 2nd June 2001. Any tips on how to get there cheaply by bus train or air would be greatly appreciated!! " 2 confused Irish girls"

August and staying in Duck. We three kids ages 5 to 12, suggestions
on what to do and fun places to go? Thanks.
I am hoping someone can provide driving directions from Chicago,
Illinois to Corolla, NC. All the internet sources advise taking a
northern route through Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc. I really would like to
take a southern route through Kentucky, West Virginia, etc. Can you
please shed some light on why I have not been given this option? Is
the southern route longer, not recommended? Please Help!!!! (we are
leaving in a few days, so any priority you can give my request will be
greatly appreciated!) Thank You.
My husband and I are from the Pittsburgh, PA area and have
been travelling to the Outer Banks for 20 years. He took me there when
we first met. At that time there were hardly any activities except
relaxing and fishing which we both love. Our first year we stayed in a
tent at the Camp Ground by the Hatteras Light House. It cost us $4.00
a day and I can honestly say it was one of best vacations ever. I can
remember going to Oden's to get our kerosene. Oden's was definately
not the store that it is today. I felt sad when I saw it after it was
remodeled. The old Oden's had character and an appearance that
belonged on the Outer Banks. I've alway's enjoyed stopping at the
Pirate's Chest. One day a week we always take the ferry over to
Okracoke Island to spend the day.Since then, when we visit we have now
upgraded ourselves to a cottage. We love to stay around the Avon or
Buxton area. We prefer this area because we like to relax, we love the
sound and it's not as busy as Kitty Hawk/Kill Devil Hills area.
Becuase of family health problems, we have been unable to visit for
the past four years and we both miss it terribly. We might try to
visit this year either the week of July 11 or July 18,and I was
wondering if anyone knew if there were any cottages available in the
Avon or Buxton area for these weeks. I know most cottages are probably
booked by now, but because of being uncertain if we will be able to
come we haven't made any reservations. There will be just the two of
us, so we won't need a large place. We also prefer staying on the
Soundfront. I always tell my husband, if someone told me I just won a
vacation to anywhere in the world, I would definately pick the Outer
Banks. To me there is no other place like it in the world. Can't wait
to come back.
As a child growing up in White Plains, New York, we used to
love taking vacations to Nags Head. I'm now interested in going Hang
Gliding. Can anyone give me some tips and rates. Thinking about going
up from Columbia, S.C. in August. Thanks! 6/16/1999
I would like to spend the last week of August, 1999

Planning a 3rd trip to the Outer Banks in a little over a
month. Any recommendations on where to eat, what to see and do in
Ocracoke and in or near Manteo? Thanks!
Hi. I'm looking for some information and would be happy to hear from
anyone to everyone. My fiancee and I are going to be staying at the
Silver Sands Motel in Nags Head from July 9-July 16 for our first
vacation in the Outer Banks. I have read all of the travelogues and
found them very informative. I am wondering if anyone who's been down
to the Outer Banks could e-mail me about places to eat, where it
doesn't cost a fortune, but that you get good food for reasonable
prices. Since I've scanned and read the travelogue pages, The Wharf,
Down Under,The Carolina seafood buffet, and some other places(can't
remember all the names), got realy high marks on must go to, good
food, good prices, but I didn't see recommendations for places to go
for breakfast. I would really appreciate any feedback that anyone can
e-mail me concerning the prices and quality and quantity of food of
the restaurants/pubs/deli, etc., for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It
doesn't have to be just in the Nags Head area,because we hope to go to
other towns/beaches down the Outer Banks, such as Rodanthe, Buxton,
etc. To whoever started this page I would like to thank her/him/they.
This page is very informative, you hear about the different places to
stay on the Outer Banks that you might not have know about,
restaurants; which are evaluated by personal opinion and experience. I
think the best thing is that you get to read about experiences that
other people have had, good and bad. This is a very honest page. So to
the creator and everyone who has added their own experiences thank
you. Karen aka:

anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Lodging Assistance Needed! I'm in charge of planning the
family vacation and have never been to the Outer Banks. We've got 8
adults, 4 children. We'd like to stay in Nags Head area. Does anyone
have hotel/motel information. I've looked at the Pebble Beach Motel
on line and it seems fine but I have some concern about it being
older. Are the rooms clean? I've heard that older hotels on the beach
can have carpet that doesn't smell very pleasant. If you've stayed
there or someplace else you'd like to recommend, please email me.
Thanks!
We are looking for possibly a condo or a cottage that sleeps five
people, with two bathrooms and at least two separate bedrooms. A
kitchen and a nice water view, hopefully right on the beach would be a
dream. We are looking in the area of around $100 to 1200 for a week.
Thankyou and I will be awaiting your response. Ina Wesolowski

We fly into Norfolk to meet our East Coast family on the Outer Banks
every year(off and on since 1969)and rent an SUV from one of the
national chains at the airport,But it is very expensive and a brand
new Blazer is just not a real beach truck.Is there a better choice?
Any help would be appreciated.[ Tip for a great outer banks
vacation,camp at the Frisco campground one of the best campgrouds in
the Federal system]
4/23/99 - We are planning our second trip to the Outer Banks,
early August - prime time. We will be with family and friends hoping
to enjoy great weather and all the area has to offer. We have stayed
in Salvo and find it very peaceful, off the beaten path. When ever I
go to the beach I am immediately drawn to the ocean. I have to see,
hear and feel it crashing on my legs. It is such a healing experience,
washing away all of the stresses of everyday life. Since this will
only be our second visit, we plan to take the ferry to Ocracoke Island
and soak up all the heritage, all do lots of fishing (the Avon Peir
and the Point at Hatteras). If anyone knows of a good charter let us
know. Happy vacationing!!
looking for beach home to rent. end of june. 4bedrooms and

Okay, there are certain places you have to go for certain
things to eat on the Outer Banks. HURRICANE MO'S for the best steamed
oysters ever (beer and wine only)! CAPT'N FRANKS for the best hot
dogs! CLARA'S for the absolute best ever she-crab soup! DAIRY MART for
the best hamburger you will ever put in your mouth (outside dining
only!) ELIZABETH'S CAFE all around yummy! For great tuna taco's, it's
gotta be GOOMBAY'S. JOHN'S DRIVE IN for tuna boats with fried okra and
don't forget the peanut butter milkshakes (outside dining only!) THE
OASIS: you have to go get the BELLRINGERS! Raw oyster on a saltine
cracker with horseradish, hot sauce and a jalapeno; a buck a piece.
Your nasal passages will be clear for weeks. My record is six. If Mark
makes them; I can only do three. THAI ROOM for the sauteed soft
shells. We lived on the Outer Banks for nearly 10 years but go back at
least twice a year. Just got back from our 11 days during Easter 99.
Had a wonde! rful time
If anybody has a recommendation for a good hotel/motel on Outer Banks
that takes pets I would appreciate it very much. Any suggestions??
My family and i have been going down to the outerbanks for
seven years now and we love it. Those first couple years we were able
to have camp fires on the beach. We haven't had them the last couple
of years because we heard we needed a permit. We stay in Whalehead
beach. I was hoping you could tell us where we can get this permit and
if there are any rules or restrictions that we need to follow when
having our camp fire. The nights we had our camp fires were the most
memorable and I just like to do it again.
Can anyone tell me if there is a place in/around Outer Bank where I
can secure a one-way rental car at the end of July? Closest place I've
found is Norfolk, but we are traveling south to Savannah. Thanks.
Astrid Giblin, San Jose, California
Does anyone know about a cottage in Avon named Windows to the Sea. I
would like to know about it since I am going there this spring.
Thanks.
We are visiting Outer Banks for our first time this summer.
I'm trying to find pamphlets and things on places to go and things to
do while we are there. If you could let me know where to do this I
would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance..Teresa
My family is thinking about staying at colony by the sea in
Duck this July. I would like any info anyone has about these condo's
and the area of Duck. Have been reading alot on the travelogue about
the areas more south and wonder if we should stay further south. We
have 2 teenagers and a 9 year old.Don't want to be where it's real
crowded but would still like to be in an area where there are some
things to do.
Would like info on surfing at Hateras and Okracoke.
I LOVE OBX!!! My family and friends, about 12 of us at times,
have been going there since my cousin was a baby and she is now 32. So
obviously, it's a mainstay. I am 25 and have been going since I was
12. I now live in Florida and still fly home everyone summer to go to
"the Beach". People down here just don't understand that. Favorite
things for us to do is lay on the beach all day with a beverage and
then dance and play games all night. We have many favorite
restaurants, here are some ideas: Kelly's- great food and OK
atmosphere. Great She-Crab soup. Good music in the bar. Owens - the
best place to eat. Tale of the Whale - Great She-crab soup and tuna
bites. very nice jewerly in the entrance. The owners are friends of
the family as well. A tradition of ours is to get up and see a
sunrise. It's early but well worth it. The Outer Banks is a great
place to visit. It is wonderful for family vacations. Please write
back with your favorites!!!! 4/9/99

Can you please tell me where I can find a motel that will accept pets
near Hatteras and Ocracoke? We will be visiting Easter weekend and
staying overnight for only one night. (Sat. night.) We have a Black
Lab and she is fully house broken. I have never been to the Outer
banks and it may be the only time I get to come, so this is REALLY,
REALLY important to me. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. Also any reasonable family style seafood
restaurants....some place that is good for the kids. Please email me
with any details at Thanks very much.
I've traveled to Ocracoke and other areas by sail. Does
anyone have experience biking the Banks? My wife and I would like to
take our bikes on at the northern most ferry point and Ride down to
Ocracoke then catch the ferry off. Would like to know what is the
northernmost point and how far it is from Ocracoke.
I have been wanting to visit the Outer Banks for some years
now. Last night I decided that I am going to drive down to OB for a
few days during Easter. It is very heartening to read that so many of
you simply enjoy visiting OB and have been doing that for years. Could
someone please give me travel tips for a first-timer -- best place to
stay (I am looking for something non-touristy and on a long stretch of
quiet beach)where I could perhaps bike along the beach? From the
comments on this page, looks like Hatteras and Ocracoke might be it,
but I would appreciate suggestions. Every summer I vacation on Cape
Cod and enjoy the quiet nights walking on the beach (though it is
freezing, even in August!) Thanks in advance.
I am a dog groomer in Florida. I have a client who is an older woman

you have any suggestions, please contact me e-mail and I will forward
the info to her. Thank you very much.
Can anyone tell me some good restaurants to try? I've been
to Kellys, Sam and Omies, Owens, Kitty Hawk Pizza, Duck Deli, Dare

Corolla, Seas The Day in Ocean Hill, Seadunes in Kitty Hawk,The
Ridges in Nags Head to name a few. All of these places were very
nice.Thanks.

like that.
Anybody ever stay at the White Doe Inn?
A group of about five single, young adults are interested
in a relaxing vacation without all of the crowds like in Ocean City
and Virginia Beach; however, it seems that most rental companies will
only rent houses and condos to family groups. Is there anyone that
will rent to us? We would appreciate any suggestions!
Can anyone suggest a good rental house (3 bedroom) near the
ocean for three weeks starting August 28, in the Duck or Corolla area?
Also, is there somewhere in the area to rent 4x4's for a reasonable
price? Any info would be great: .
Thinking of taking a mini family vacation (about 4 nights) to
the Outer Banks sometime between April 3rd-10th. Have never been to
the Outer Banks, any suggestions on what area and activities might
best be suited for a family with three children ages 12, 4 and 1 this
time of year? Would prefer to stay in a cottage on the beach but
flexible, budget is tight. Thank you!
I'm planning to bike the Outer Banks the second weekend of
April and am concerned about the wind. What direction do the winds
typically blow at that time of year? Would our best bet be to bike
from Ocracoke to Nags Head, or the other way around? Any advice would
be most appreciated. Thanks.

My family will be staying in Frisco for a week in June. It
will be our first time vacationing the Outer Banks. Has anyone had
dealings with rental cottages and realty companies in the Hatteras
area and have tips for what to expect (good and bad). Also, what do
you recommend for low cost activities that can include young children
(ages 3-9? Is there a good route to travel from the Cincinnati/Dayton,
Ohio area? What's the word on the Hatteras Lighthouse being closed in
June? Any tips for fishing the Frisco pier (rental of equipment, bait,
etc.)?Local grocery stores? THX
We stayed recently at the Ocracoke Island Inn on Ocracoke.
This property was recently opened, just before the 1998 summer season.
It is located right on the Ocracoke harbor with a nice deck view of
sunsets from either the decks on each unit or the 'widow's walk' on
top of the property's office right on the waterfront. The
owner-managers, Byron and Cathy, have an absolutely pristine property
with all of the features of the most expensive vacation properties.
The individual units are roomy, furnished with beautiful white wicker,
with roomy decks equipped with Adirondack-style furniture. We stayed
at the Ocracke Island Inn in the deep off-season and the price was
embarrassingly low. Byron told us of his rate schedule for the high
season, and I'd estimate they could command rates at least 20-30%
higher. This property has absolutely no shortcomings. I am an
experienced traveler used to staying in prime resort properties. This
inn competes with the best I've experienced at a fraction of the cost.
I am a two time visitor to the Outer Banks - absolutely
wonderful. I am looking for recommendations as to where to stay, eat,
visit, shop, etc. in Ocracoke. Thank you!
Does anyone have any opinions on the Cape Hatteras Motel in
Buxton? If you've stayed there, did you enjoy your stay? 2/27/99
Do you know why the film "Message in a Bottle" was NOT filmed at the
Outer Banks? I've just seen the movie and was very disappointed that
the filmmakers used the coast of MAINE to represent the most beautiful
place in this country. Someone suggested that local politicos didn't
want movie folks in the area, although local residents were looking
foward to it.
I am from PA and am contemplating having a small wedding on the outer
banks, specifically renting a beachfront home on pine island. I am
looking for any insight, info, from anyone regarding similar
circumstances, etc. thanks. steve
I am thinking of renting a condo for 4 in our family at the Admiral's
View in Nags Head. Any comments on this condo property? Good, bad? I
am thinking of renting this in a week or so since places are starting
to fill up. I anyone can respond to this I would greatly appreciate
it. Kathy W.
We will be traveling to OB June 20-28, and are interested in
renting a boat on the sound and also ATV's. Any suggestions and
information on prices would be great. The boat rental will be more for
fun probably than for fishing. There will be 8 of us. Thanks!
We would like to vacation on Okracoke this August or September of
1999. How can we find names and numbers for realtors to call? We are
looking for something private (ie. not a "city" of houses). send info. to : Heather
Cornell & Christian Hege, 253B Maple Rd., Valley Cottage, NY 10989.
Thanks. Chris & Heather
We are planning a summer vacation on Ocracoke Island. I
haven't been in almost 20 years but the one thing I remember about the
island are the huge, green biting flies on the beaches. They could
hold their breath as you went under the water to get them off of you -
there was no escaping them (and the mesquito's at the campground). I
am hoping the fly's have moved on to greener beaches!?! All comments
appreciated.
3D Can someone please tell me? What is happening to the Cape Hatteras
Light? Is it being moved? Has that been stopped? If the move has
started, then how much of it has moved so far? What is going on? I
will be there in August this year, but am so curious about this
beloved
lighthouse.
Hello! Just reading all the comments and questions makes me long for
the OBX! We didn't make it down this past summer (went to WDW
instead-big mistake) and I miss it! I have one question. I'm looking
for a place to get fresh local seafood "right off the boat".
Where does the local fleet dock and how do I get there? We'll be
staying in Southern Shores, but, a drive to the dock is not a problem!
Also, I know how to clean fish so that is not a problem, either. Any
and all sggestions would be appreciated!
My family and I have rented a home on Avon for the third week of July.
However, my husband and I are interested in arriving a couple of days
early and staying in Nags Head just to get a feel of the area. We are
looking for a CLEAN and reputable motel in which to stay two nights.
We are considering the Owens Motel. Does anyone have comments to share
with us about that establishment, or can anyone suggest another place?
We want to be relatively close to Jockey's Ridge. Thanks!
2/11/99 We're staying in South Nags Head the last week of July. would
like best auto route from western Mass. Got some great vacation ideas
from the travelogue. Noticed there are several short bike trails. Are
they far apart? Also has anyone had difficulty getting security
deposit back from Stan White realty?
Need Help!!! I am interested in the Outer Banks for my honeymoon in
May, 1999. Would like to stay somewhere that has it all--romance &
quiet, yet close enough to restaurants, activities, etc. We would like
a heated outdoor pool (in case it's chilly) and a room kitchen or at
least a refridgerator. Was thinking about the Colony IV in Kill Devil
Hills? Anyone been there? Any other suggestions??? Thanks!
We are planning a visit from England in early June. My daughter, who
is six, enjoys her holidays much more if she gets chance to mix with
other children of a similar age, so I am wondering if anyone has
recommendations on where might be particularly suitable. Any ideas
gratefully received - looking forward to our trip! PS Anyone thinking
of visiting Britain might enjoy our website - cottages.co.uk
We plan to visit the Outer Banks this June or July. We want to stay
on the beach. I am interested in Okrakoke. Does anyone have
suggestions. There will be 4 of us, my husband, myself, and our two
children. I would love to see lighthouses, as I collect them. Any
info will be appreciated. Thank you. L.Cole
My family and some friends will be making our first trip to the Outer
Banks in late June '99. We can't wait! We were wondering if anyone
knows of a riding stable in the area where we might rent horses?

Our family will be heading to the Outer Banks for the last week in May
for a one week vacation. We will be staying on the sound side in the
area of Duck. Can anyone tell me if crabbing is worth the effort on
the sounside at that time of year and also shore fishing from the
sound. I plan to do some surf fishing, so I could use some pointers
there too. Thanks. Mike
2/4/99 Anyone with experience staying Duck/Corolla off season (late
March)? We're thinking of taking one of those lovely houses and are
wondering just how desolate it might be for a family of five.
Actually, the peace will be lovely--but I'm wondering if it's too
bleak?
We are going to be vacationing in North Carolina this summer. Please
send me some information. Thank you. Sherry Mayberry 9438 South Main

My wife and I will be travelling to the Outer Banks in mid to
late-May. Does anybody have a reccomendation for a place to stay that
offers a queen or king sized bed, oceanfront, and a balcony? We would
prefer to not stay in the Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk, Nags Head
area. Thanks for any help y'all can provide. -Chris
Can anyone tell me about Hatteras in March? How is the weather and is
there anything going on at that time. We have never vacationed this
time of the year so I need so help!
My husband and I will be spending the last week in Feb. at Kitty Hawk.
We would like to have suggestions as to what to do during this time of
year.
I want to relocate to the outerbanks and I am looking for employment
opportunities. My Mother lives in Kill Devil Hills, so I would want
to work somewhere in that vicinity. I am a Travel Agent by trade
specializing in Cruises but I am not limited to that industry. Can
you help me find a listing of positions?
I was looking into places to spend our family vacation this summer and
the Outer Banks was recommended to us. We would like to maybe rent a
house for 10 people. Something in walking distance to the beach. Has
to be reasonable.If you know of how I can get information about this
please let me know. Thank You.
For those asking for restaurant recommendations: Our family visits
the Outer Banks several times a year, and have been since both my
husband and I were babies. Don't miss "Ocean Boulevard"
(make a reservation and still be prepared to wait). It's sort of
nouvelle cuisine and a bit on the pricey side, but awesome as a
"nite out". Also try Flying Fish CAfe. Awesome food,
reasonable prices and they work well with kids. Best kept secret for
a fabulous restaurant: 3rd Street Grille in the SEa Ranch motel....
to die for. For fabulous sushi and a real party hardy atmosphere:
Tortuga's LIe on the beach road. For the young or young at heart.
Please send me a cottage rental catalog. Thank you, Andy Styles
Can you please advice a place that can accomodate three or more adults
and one 3 year old. I don't know if I should rent a house or a duplex
Is this a good place for toddlers? thanks for the help, Diane
I am planing on visiting the Outer Banks in May of 1999. I would like
to know more about bicycling in the Outer Banks particularly on
Hatteras Island. Are there any places to go mountain biking or any
bicycle paths that are away from the roads?
We have rented a cottage in Rodanthe for the week of 9/18/99. It will
be myself, my two sisters, our husbands, our children (ages 1,2,6)
and our mother. My husband and I have vacationed in several different
areas of the Outer Banks, but during the last few years prefer Avon
and Hatteras Village. We have never stayed in Rodanthe - my sisters
are taking my word that it will be a good place to vacation - and I
don't want to disappoint them!! Can anyone give me any input on
Rodanthe? Any shops, grocery stores, restaurants, good beaches? We
will be on the ocean-front, with views of the sound as well. I like
the slower pace of these areas - but, considering this is our first
attempt for a big family vacation since we were children, I want to
be sure that everything will be perfect! I know the guys are
interested in joining a fishing charter for a day - any suggestions?
Any input on any of this will be welcomed!! Thanks! Kelly Walters

be very much appreciated.............thanks chris

My boyfriend and I will be visiting the Outer Banks for the second
time. We will be there from March 13-19th, 1999. I'm a little weary
of the weather and water temperature during that time. Although I'm
certain the water will be cold, will it be bearable with wetsuits?
We'd like to do some fishing, (although we know nothing about ocean
fish). Any suggestions? I'd appreciate any response at all from
someone who has first-hand experience with early spring in
