''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!...''

''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....''

''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.''...''

''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!...''

''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....''

''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!...''

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

''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!!...''

''Good, honest and reliable. Whatever you need for your bike, they'll do whatever they can do to help!...''

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

''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....''
