''What an awesome store - when I need to buy a gift for someone, this is the first place I go! You can find something for everyone, and spoil yourself too!...''

''My daughter has food restrictions, so I called ahead to see if they had what I needed. Barb, owner, actually ordered items for me so they were there for our vacation!!! 5 stars by me - Thanks Barb!...''

''This Food Lion runs out of everything during the summer months! It is extremely overcrowded, and the long lines make it an unenjoyable experience! It is worth the trip to go a bit further to other stores for all your grocery needs!...''

''A great experience!! We were on vacation on the outerbanks and found this paint your own pottery shop and decided to go in to check it out. The lady running the store was very helpful, friendly and great with kids. We ended up spending the whole afternoon painting a few pieces each. When we picked up our pottery, it looked great. wow what a wonderful experinece. I highly recommend it to anyone old and young.''...''

''After reading the reviews here, we went straight for the fudge counter and mainly ignored the remainder of the store. As others have noted, the fudge is excellent and there are about 10 varieties to choose from. They will provide you with samples in the store before you buy. Although I'm not a fudge expert, the price seemed somewhat on the high side at $5.95/half pound. However, the fudge is very good and even a half pound will last a while because it is so rich....''

''Great service, great selection and ALWAYS excellent advice....''

''They have everything you will need. Also, it is great to take the kids to see the fish being cleaned at Odens Dock....''

''We go to all these stores every year on vacation. The staff is always friendly and helpful and we love all the free samples. Many people don't know that this is a family owned and operated business and your likely to see one of them in any of the three stores. By the time you leave, you will feel like a part of the family as well....''

''This is such a neat shop! Whenever I go to Kitty Hawk Kites I always seem to buy something, whether I intend to or not! A great store- you gotta check it out!...''

''I shoped here when I was on vacation in June 2007 (the avon store) I loved the store it has so many shirts and designs to pick from not matter your taste you will find something at this place also they have some other souvenirs like toys, postcards, shot glasss, cup's, Jewlery, and etc. it is a great place and can't wait to stop in again this June 2008 when my family goes on vacation this year. The workers are so nice and there to help you also....''

''We loved the shop! We couldn't have had better service from Jennifer (owner). Good selection & the clothes were unique....''

''Ladies...if you want to get rid of your husband for hours...send him here. LOL My husband loves the pier. He would go out fishing when the kids were napping and had a great time catching fish and talking to everyone. The kids also love to go out and walk on the pier and look at what people have caught. The staff is very friendly and helpful too....''

''This store has it All! If you need anything for your cottage this place is a one stop shop. Everything from place mats to full set of living room furniture. The owners are on site and are very friendly and helpful in helping with selections.This is a ''must do'' stop anytime I am in Avon. The Best there is!!...''

''This is a very FUN place to visit! I love their line of hand painted clothes, which are colorful and of nice qaulity. And I found lots of unique gifts I have not seen at any other shops on the Island....''

''If you're into sailing or have never heard of it, this is where you want to go!...''

''From the outside this shop looks small but once you walk through the door the place is BIG! This is easily the best surf shop on Hatteras Island. We've been vacationing on Hatteras Island all our lives and visited every shop here but these guys have a great formula. They will talk to you and educate you on the products and I've never seen them be pushy with sales or bad-mouth any other shop (something I have encountered in other shops - boooo) Definitely a place you want to go....''
