''i absolutely LOVE this store. for the week that i was in outer banks, i can honestly admit that me and my family probably dropped by one of these stores every single day that we were down there .. haha you can get so many things at cheap prices. Especially last minute things, such as a new bathing suit.

I highly recommend this store for new vistors in the area!!! :)...''

''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!...''

''wonderful pasteries and coffee. We stop here everyday while on vacation. We have been coming here for 5 years and John the owner welcomes us back every year...''

''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!...''

''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 grocery store blows away the competition! Staff is friendly and helpful and the store is exceptionally well-stocked. We celebrated two birthdays while here and the coconut and old fashioned fudge cakes obtained in the bakery section rivaled those of a specialty bakery. For a nominal charge, the staff even blew up the helium balloons I provided. We'll keep coming back !...''

''You cannot visit Corolla without making a tour of the lighthouse and grounds. It's a great family outing, but can become crowded in season. The guides only allow less than 10 people at a time to tour the lighthouse. Best time to visit is right after a rain storm...it's deserted!...''

''We normally run down to Bacchus from our house in The Currituck Club - it's just down the road a piece. The sandwiches are fresh, large and extremely tasty. Pick up some of the homemade salsa for your house. Great Cheese assortment, with crackers, toppings, etc. Desserts are to die for! Visit the wine shop. They are very helpful, and have a nice assortment. We have also used them for cottage gift baskets - which are very nice - or, you can order a gift basket to take home as a gift from O...''

''Service is great the people are friendly. The place to go for seafood and steamed crabs!...''

''I have been taking my family to the Outer Banks for over 20 years. It has become a tradition that each time someone new comes along, we get them a Duck T-Shirt from Gray's. The store is clean and well organized and the staff is very helpful. The Duck T-Shirts are humorous and my kids look forward to getting their new Duck shirt each year....''

''If you are a book buyer, then this is the best store on the barrier islands! It has everything for every family member. I also recommend using the Currituck County Library system which offers free library cards to seasonal visitors!...''

''I went to the one in Nags Head, my 2nd annual visit. Now one of my favorite stores there. Fabulous! If you are a natural gem and rock lover plus many pieces of genuine stone jewelry and other 'pieces of nature', don't miss Michael's. Wonderful service and friendly people. Can't wait to go back next year!...''
