I am replying to your post about Colony By the Sea unit
D229..... We usually stay in unit D224 -( ESEA Duck) when we
are down there. We LOVE unit D224, but are interested in
finding out more information about unit D229 (such as if it
is a 1bedroom or 2?) It also looks like it has some nice
beach and ocean views, and unit D224 only has ocean views.
Could you tell me if you had any luck locating any rental
information for unit D229? We have been searching the
internet and can not find any information on this unit.
Thanks for your help.

We have been to OBX 3 yrs in a row and love it.
I was wondering if anyone can tell me if its legal to
have a small 50cc atv on the beaches of Southern Shores &
Duck? I have seen the "Beach Patrol" aka "turtle police"
running up and down the beaches on their 4 wheelers, but
have never seen any type of tag or registration plate. Just
thought it would be fun to bring the kids small atv to cruze
up and down the beach on. Any help or info would be great.
Thanks,
Shane

Heyy! im 17 and i have lived in the obx for my whole life
and honestly there isnt squat to do! im not trying to sike
you out but its true...The only thing really to do besides
the beach is like shopping and putput/movies. Your hotel
should have brochures that will interest you in tourist
things like kittyhawk stuff and other things like the
history of nagshead. Good luck be safe and remember have
funn!!!!!!!!
also be careful of the boys dont always listen to them and
believe everything they sayy!!

I have been vacationing on the outer banks for almost 30
years. I just got back this week 05/16/2011 and let me tell
you it has changed. The Government has totally taken over
and now the people are not important. It is not a
recreational area for people. It is becoming a bird
sanctuary the beaches are close to people and vehicles. You
can not even get to the point or Oregon Inlet. I talked to
was checked by the fish cops every time I turned around and
was also told you can not even walk on the surf line if
there is a fence in the area. I spend over $2000.00 a trip
to the Outer Banks and in one week did not catch one legal
fish. Took a head boat out with 30 people and not one legal
fish was caught. Sorry but the Outer Banks are no longer a
fun place. I feel bad for the people that live there to see
what is going on here is another example of how the
politicians can destroy a way of life. Sorry but there are
islands all the way to Fla. Give the Birds one of those.

We have heard there's a better way to go from
Charlottesville, VA to Outer Banks NC than the main roads. I
think someone said 153 or 151 or something where you bypass
Richmond as well as the busy Norfolk areas. Need specifics
as we tend to get lost easily! Anyone know?

My boyfriend of then and I went to the OBX some 20 years
ago. We never dreamed at the time we would get married and
this is where we would return each year for the next 20 +
years. The times we spent watching the waves seems to be
just what we need to make it to the next year. Each year as
we take that last walk on the beach, I whisper to the waves
as they roll by, See you next year. And if I stand real
still I can hear them whisper back, hurry back, we'll be
here waiting.

My family owns a 2000 square foot home in Banner Elk,NC.
Located in the heart of the high county with a beautiful
view of Beech, Sugar, and Grandfather Mtns. Easily sleeps 8
people and right on top of 2 NC ski resorts. We are hoping
to trade with a house at the OBX that has 6 bedrooms minimum
and willing to pay the difference in size.

We will be vacationing in Nags Head in the first week of
August, 2010. I have family members who are die hard
anglers. They have many questions about where they can clam,
fish, etc. They have surf rods, boats, equipment, just need
to know where and when! We have traveled up and down the
east coast, but have never stayed in OBX. You'll make me
look like a genius with any help you can give me! Thanks so
much.

2) Can you rent scooters or motorcycles just to get around

From Raleigh you would first need to drive to either Swan
Quarter (approximately 170 miles) or Cedar Island
(approximately 190 miles). These two Ferries are operated by
the NCDOT, and run to Ocracoke. Here is a link to the system
schedule: http://ow.ly/1LWNF You can also make reservations.

My husband and I have stayed at a variety of places in the

the Colony by the Sea.
We rented it through a realty company but it is not longer
available, at least we are not aware of any rental for this
unit.
It was called Anonsen (Unit D-229). Can anyone tell me if
it's still available either by rental agency or privately?

am a pro photographer. I also have a dog and the person
traveling with me will have a dog, so i need a pet friendly

well, within walking distance. My traveling dates will be
