Looking to purchase a vacation rental at The Currituck Club. Good idea? Have stayed down there for decades and am finally at the point of doing something that my daughter and granddaughter can enjoy once I’m out of the picture😂

My family and I will be spending Christmas in Corolla, it's our first visit to OBX. We are looking for recommendations for a place to have Christmas dinner in the area, or a bit north or south. Doesn't have to be traditional. Just a place that 8 of us can go and not have to cook.

Thanks in advance, super excited to get up there!

Came across this photo in my pictures album and thought I’d share. We have a house in Corolla and this pic was taken 2 years ago near the lighthouse…

I’m planing a vacation in obx for 20 days with my 3 friends. We’re planing to go in September 2025. We don’t want anything luxury. Just a place to sleep (probably Airbnb) and a pickup truck. I did some research and find some places for 3k and a truck for 1k. Don’t have any problem at this point but we’re from Europe and don’t know anything about local prices etc. We will make our food ourselves and mostly avoid restaurants. We will use truck so much for the whole trip cuz we enjoy exploring literally every corner where we go. I’d love to learn how much will groceries, gas, beers (and maybe some surfing lessons) cost for 20 days. If it exceeds 4k per person than we should start saving asap lol

It's one of the best times of the year to go to Jockeys Ridge.

Looking for a party bus or transportation for a bar tour of 15-20 people on Sunday, March 16th. We have already contacted the OBX Party Bus and they are booked that day with the St. Patty's Day parade. Any recommendations or ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.

I'm looking into camping at Cape Hatteras National Seashore (Oregon Inlet or Ocracoke) in late December. I've never been to the North Carolina coast or gone beach camping before. Longer tent stakes come to mind. Can anyone provide anything to consider or suggestions?

My wife and I are staying in Waves for a couple of weeks, but are planning to take our E-bikes north today to see the Duck to Nags Head area. Any recommendations on where I can park and start biking? Ideally looking to see some of the cool local stuff, have some coffee, food and maybe some beer during different stops.

Wishing all participants good fishing at the Red Drum Tournament! Have a good time!

Hey guys! I’m so late to ask this but I’ll be in Kitty Hawk for work from Sunday 10/27 to Saturday 11/2. But I’ll be arriving around 4 pm Sunday leaving early Saturday morning. I have a few things I want to do but I am looking for any and all recommendations

We are looking to vacation in OBX in August. We have previously stayed in Carova and loved it. However, not everyone in our group has 4x4 so we are looking to book a house somewhere else. We are not familiar with the other area and are open to anything. Can anyone please give us a suggestion as to what area is less crowded, more secluded. We don’t need restaurants or activities. Just looking to relax at the beach. Thank you!

Heyyoo!! I’ll be down in the OBX from today until Nov 3rd for some kiting and surfing & would love to ride with some others! I’ll be staying in Avon. Comment or shoot me a message if you’re interested!

Is it enjoyable to visit Shackleford Banks & Cape lookout on a windy day? Wanted to visit on Sunday.

Went to Emergency Department with hubby and his dislocated finger. Nicest people, they put it back where it belonged! Whew! Vacation Memories!

I took this pic on Sunday at Corolla beach, I was hoping to share with the guys in the photo, long shot they are in this group

Good afternoon yall. I am hoping to live and work in OBX in the off-season only. I actually already have the housing worked out.

Is there work in the off season? I was thinking about maybe the warehouse in Manteo? My other thoughts were maybe a fish house?

Any owners listing their property with Cove? Looking for some reviews. Thanks in advanced!

Any body’s house just shake? We heard and felt a loud boom around 9:30ish/40. We are just a mile from Jeanette’s pier

We’ll be taking my nieces on their first ever vacation next summer down to Southern Shores. As we don’t usually bring kids with us and typically just relax at the beach house we’re not entirely sure of the kid friendly sights/activities.

What are the top 5 things to do/see with two 8 year olds?

Curious how many people who work on the island / in wanchese also live there?

I was recently offered a job in wanchese that I would be relocating from central NC for. When I was last talking to the company they said that pretty much everyone there lives on the island and that you wouldn't want to commute from mainland.

Is this pretty accurate? I've been commuting 30-45 minutes each way to work for the past 10 years and it seems like pretty much anywhere on Roanoke is within 15 or 20 minutes from this company. But that living nearby on the mainland could save me quite a bit of money in housing while still being within 30 minutes or so.
