We will be in Nags Head April 1 - 5, 2010. We are avid fishermen but have never fished in this area before. Could we please have some quick tips on pier and surf fishing. Thank you for your help.

However for me, "You know you are hooked on OBX when you have lived in California for 2 years, seen all the beautiful beaches, and want nothing more then to run back to OBX" :P I find myself looking for places to buy/rent all the time... One Day!! One Day!!

We rented a house through Surf or Sound last week in Avon and when we arrived, every single bathroom shower curtain was filthy with mold. They did come and replace all the shower curtains, but we had a list of 12 other items that needed to be addressed but never were. The house was Lady of Dare #532 and it needed an all over house cleaning. In fact, when we left, the house was cleaner than when we arrived a week earlier because we cleaned it all before we checked out. Never again will we rent from Surf or Sound or stay in Avon, -- the mosquitoes were horrible down south. We never had that problem in Corolla.

We just ret'd from Avon, NC and the mosquitoes were horrible. We couldn't be outside the last 3 days of our vacation because of them. Don't know why they got so bad, may have been the wind or the 15 min. of rain that we had during the 7 days we were there but we will never again rent a place in Avon because of them. The other times we've stayed in Corolla and never had this problem.

I am in the middle of my vacation as I type this in the morning with my coffee. This was the 5th year we stayed in the same home dealing with Surf or Sound, but this is the last year we will consider any house they manage.

The house is great; we love it. Unfortunately for us, Surf or Sound took nearly three days to get someone out to replace a light bulb. It wouldn't be a big deal, but it's the only light on the porch. Their statement to me was why couldn't I simply change it, but since I don't have a ladder, it was no-go. So the next evening, at 1:00 in the morning, I had to take my dog to the emergency vet. There's no light on the front porch and the light from inside was not enough to illuminate the porch for me, and I fell while going through the front door. Thankfully I didn't hurt the dog, and my elbow will probably not suffer permanent damage.

The other major problem for us was that the main shower was disassembled (I am not making this up). How can the house be marked ready with an obvious issue like this? Does the-turn around team look to see what's going on?

No house is perfect (nor do we expect it to be), but when the management doesn't care about safety issues it's time to go elsewhere, which we have already done.

I am also requesting information on dune buggy rentals. I have seen it advertised in several home rental activities, but I can't find it now that we're here and have been told by one of the property rental companies that dune buggy rental does not exist on the Outer Banks. Very discouraging. We're in Southern Shores now. Is there any information out there?

We stay as far South as we can, every summer, in Hatteras Village.
Last summer the mosquitoes were TERRIBLE. We've been there 3 summers so far, and that was THE WORST ever. But the other summers were not too bad.

It was when the wind stopped, that we'd all of a sudden get eaten alive. We ended up getting cans of 40% DEET spray, and that seemed to help. Cancer in a can, of course...

When we were looking for houses our realtor said that if we were going to buy on the sound side, that we would need a screened in porch as the mosquitoes could get pretty bad. It depends sometimes on where you are. We walk to the sound all the time and sit there for awhile and never have a problem. My husband says that is because where we sit the water is moving and there aren't many reeds etc. We do know that a lot of people own and rent on the sound side, so how bad can it be???? We also have shopped in stores in Duck at different times of the day that are right on the sound and never had a problem. My husband says they also have mosquito control here - they spray certain areas which helps. Hope this information is helpful.

hey, me and a bunch of friends are looking for a place to stay preferably in duck or carolla. We're all 19, one of us might be 20, but we don't want to cause any trouble; we are a clean, neat, and well behaved group of kids. We just want to spend some time at the beach. We did this last year but couldn't find any place that would rent to anyone under 24. Eventually, we got a family member to pick up a key for us while we spent the week in obx. The week was probably the best week of my life. Nothing went wrong, the house was clean and perfectly fine.

Does anyone know of any owners who will rent to 19 year olds? Any place you would recommend calling or searching for? Please don't tell me to go to another beach with my friends. I don't want to be rude, but frankly we want to go to obx, not some place else.

Thanks for all the help!

I first went to the OBX back in 1986 as a little girl with my family and we have returned every year since I fell in love with the mystery and lore as a little girl and still relish it as an adult today. However, you know your hooked on the outer banks when its mid January in cold snowy western pa and you are riddled with the stomach flu and the only thing willing you to live is the thought of getting back there in 6 months to smell the salt air!

Hi, you probably have lots of answers by now - but I just wanted to share that Kill Devil Hill or Nags Head have more things for teenagers to do. Remember, that the Outer Banks are actually several towns that are within miles of each other, so it will be easy to get to a different "town". The most removed are the north end which is Corolla, Duck, and Corova. The most southern end has Avon, Salvo, Waves, Rodanthe, Hatteras. Anything in the middle - which is Southern Shores, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head is centrally located. Hope this helps. Hope you enjoy OBX!

I am replying about Stack'M High Pancakes. I loved the simple but effective way of be served like a cafeteria line then you order your breakfast pay for it, and a nice lady points you to your seats. After your meal is cooked they bring it to you . It was very good but the seating was tight but it made you feel as though you were at home and you were eating breakfast with the world. people were very nice and in a good jolly mood.

Can anyone please tell me what the detour was about yesterday (Sat., 6/16/07) morning between 8am and 10am south of Moyock? We had a great vacation in Nags Head during the previous week and then spent two hours diverted off of Rte. 158. We rejoined Rte. 168 in front of the Moyock VFD.
Thanks, Gary

I need a place to relax and grab a bit of peace and quiet. I've been the main care giver to a husband with MS, a mother with Alzheimer's (recently deceased) and an elderly father, and a wonderful teenage daughter! Can anyone recommend a quiet, safe, campground near the water that has camp sites that I can park near, since I have post-polio and walking is frequently a challenge. My daughter and I would like to relax, dream, read, and laugh for a few days in August. Thought somewhere on the outer banks might be a good location. Any suggestions would be welcome.

As far as the crabbing goes we have had some luck at times on the bridge on the way back into Collington Harbo. Its the right turn right after the Wright Memorial a couple miles back. Make sure that you are there while the tide is moving in or out seems like the best time. When the tide ebs action drops off. Last year caught about 2 dozen keepers in about two hours.

Good luck.

I would be interested in securing a seat, but I will be the only one in my
party. Have you heard from any others? I would definitely be interested.

Yes I have been coming to Rodanthe for like 12 ears now. I highly recommend
the Rodanthe Pier for fishing, I have never gone home disappointed. Catches
will vary from year to year.... But the action is always good. Well worth
my money.

If you plan to visit the Waterfall Park in Rodanthe, please be sure your children are supervised at all times. An employee that works and lives at the waterfall park is a registered sexual offender.

I'm having quite a difficult time finding any "non-family accepting" rental places to stay in that aren't located between two highways, or have an extremely expensive security deposit. Me and a few friends have been saving money for a surfing trip and found
that it's much cheaper to get a house than it is to get a hotel for a group of people. Unfortunately pretty much every place in the outer banks has a policy on not allowing "non-family" groups. We are also 21 which is posing some problems as well. It pretty much obliterates all of our options. We have money and we really just want to have a good time together. We're not looking for trouble or anything we just want to surf!!
Please, if anybody can help me find a beach house that me and my friends could rent out that would be fabulous. There will be 6 or 7 of us.

Looking for a golf package or even a hotel and then travel around to courses over the Thanksgiving weekend 2007. 4 of us have usually gone down to Myrtle Beach, but thought we could drive to the Outer Banks and enjoy good golf with warmer temps than Cape May, NJ. Any ideas from anyone? Appreciate any and all ideas and suggestions. Have already figured where to eat from prior comments (although old dates on some of them) Thanks to any and all for any info. djk

There are lots of things for kids to do. Best of all, they don't have to have a computer or Gameboy! We live in the area in Virginia and go to The Outer Banks frequently. The beach is always a hit in itself. We give the kids jars with corks for them to fill up with shells, "witches' purses", rocks, etc. they find on the beach to bring home as a free souvenir. There are amusement parks and miniature golf, movie theaters and such. The Corolla Lighthouse will wear them out pretty good! You can climb to the top. Very nice view. Your can also go to the northern beaches and see the wild horses. The sand dune is pretty cool. Great place for kids to run around. Good place to fly kites, too. There is a ferry ride over to Ocracoke Island. Not much for kids, really, on the island, but they might like the boat ride. The older kids might like kayaking or surfing. The Wright Brothers memorial has some kids stuff, too. Have fun!

I will be in kill devil hills the first week in may. I purchased some small crab traps and was wondering if I have to have a license to use them. They attach to a fishing line and then it folds up when pulling in. Is there a better place than others. i will be renting a house right on the oceanfront. Thanks in advance for all your help. Shawn

I have been fishing in Rodanthe about three times a year for about five
years now, and have been pretty lucky. I will be down The week before u go
down. I recommend Rodanthe Pier. If u are taking the kids try about 3/4 of the
way down the pier on the south side. Try little pieces of FRESH shrimp on
bottom rigs. The kids will enjoy it. Sea mullet are usually plentiful and
are good to eat. If u need anything or have any questions talk to TJ in the
pier house he will hook u up.

I will be arriving in Rodanthe June 9 and staying for a week. Where are
some good spots to fish from the ocean side or sound side. ( I have never
fished the sound side) Flounder and specks are what I am interested in the
most, but would be happy to catch anything. Also, where would I go to go
crabbing? The kids want to try this this year.
Thanks

We will be going to the Outer Banks the second week of June and are bring
several children ages 3-11. Would greatly appreciate any feedback on what
activities there are for the children to do. Is there an amusement park
close by and if not do you have any suggestions? First time to the Outer
Banks, we will be staying in Nagshead.

A friend and I are in college and for the summer we are interested in
working in the Outer Banks for the summer (mid May-late August). Does anyone
know a cheap/affordable place to rent for the summer or any places that
students typically stay while working down there?

Does anyone know if there is a vacation rental company out there who would
rent my friends and I a house? I know we are not a family, but we are very
responsible adults. We are just looking for a place to get away for spring
break (we live in Ohio). We are trying to stay in the same place, so we do
not have to worry about the hassle of a hotel.
