''I had 12 people for dinner and went to Austin's for tuna steaks. I left with wonderful suggestions and marinades for the grill. Dinner was superb! The tuna was fresh and perfect. I really wanted to stop by before my return trip to NY to thank you in person, but time ran out. Thank you for your help; you were really patient with me and your suggestions worked just great. Not only is your product excellent, but your service and assistance is an asset to Rodanthe. car....''

''I visited Hatteras Gifts & T's this summer and found that it had a large selection of gifts for the whole family. They had beach towels, hats, sunglasses, sarongs, toys, candy, drinks, OBX, HI, Burt's Bees and nice jewelry. I bought some of the beach glass jewelry which is very nice. They also had hermit crabs for the kids. I was very impressed with the variety of merchandise and how nice and helpful they were. I will definately visit them again this year....''
