''We just got back from a couple of nights in the OBX. Normally we stay in a vacation rental, but this time tried FCI - excellent choice on our part! The bedroom and bathroom were very clean (the better half cannot stand a dirty bathroom and even she commented on how clean things were). Everything is well appointed and very cozy.

We go to Nags Head quite a bit -- in the future, I think we'll extend our stay and spend a couple of nights in First Colony Inn before checking into our vacation renta...''

''My family loves the OBX, we have been coming here for about 15-17 summers now and just fall more in love every time. We have stayed with this company for many of thoughs fun summers. Thanks for being a great, friendly company....''

''My family and I have spent many Christmas weeks at the Outer Banks. We all had a wonderful experience at the Glad Tiding (K-09) home this past week 12/21/-12/28. The home is one to remember and had plenty of room for all to enjoy. Not at any time during our stay did anyone feel as if they were crowding on each other. All amenities were great including the kitchen, elevator, king size beds, indoor swimming pool, home theater, all were there for our enjoyment. The pictures on the website are...''

''Always enjoy working with their company from year to year. They have a great staff and a great selection of homes to choose from....''

''I and others in my crew have been fishing with David for nearly 15 years. A firt class operation run by a first class gentleman. Godspeed is a must for the novice to the old salt!!!...''

''well, we read all the little newspapers you gather at food lion to see whats going on on the island while you are there. several places we saw ''best bbq on the island'' (i guess since its practically the only place there is not much to compare it to) $40 for a meal for 4 and much much disappointment later, i wished i had just fixed our original planned spaghetti dinner at our rental house. we live close to the bbq capital of NC (woo hoo! lexington nc and the bbq festival!) and i would be asha...''

''The view is beatiful unfortunately the best food we had was only mediocre....''

''I have been experiencing the Black Pelican since I was a little girl, many summers were spent in the Outer Banks of NC! The pizza is the best, ever. And is always a stop on the way in and out! Now most people go for the seafood, but families travailing with picky eaters, this is a much favored rest. The seafood is great, and I know my grandpa loves the wine. But how many places serve kids' pizzas on a Frisbee? Where you can run to the sandy beach and play a game before loading back into the car?...''

''Is it possible to give ZERO stars?Doug Combs has done business now under two names that I know of: Outer Banks Grocery Stockers and Outer Banks Services. I would not trust any business with which he is affiliated. I purchased a $100 gift certificate from his company to give as a birthday gift. We went online and placed the order in JULY 2007. Here it is February 2008 and he still hasn't delivered the groceries or the refund he promised. He's made many excuses (''hospital for 6 weeks'', ''Europe...''

''Great surf shop... they always have great deals on everything. And the people who work there are so friendly. I met the owner Randy surfing on the beach one morning....''

''When I called Prime Only Steakhouse, I asked them if their steaks were as good as advertised. The owner told me that they have been compared to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and Mortons. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that they were even better than Ruth's Chris and Mortons and on top of that, they are less expensive. this is a MUST Dine, if going to the Outer BAnks...''

''Not to be missed. Not only is the boat beautiful and clean, the crew is fantastic and work very hard every day to find the fish! Captain Spurgeon Stowe and mates Natalie and K.P. are courteous, professional, and funny ... If you don't like to fish you should try out the evening dolphin and sunset nature cruises....''

''we went here for some takeout while the kids were enjoying our pool. was a great lunch, but a bit overpriced for wraps and sandwiches. we enjoyed it and will be back for a mid day bite again!...''

''We ordered my daughter's wedding cake from Tullio's late Sept. 2007. I found the owner to be very helpful and accommodating. The cake was delivered to the restaurant exactly when he promised and it was lovely. These cakes are not your run-of-the-mill chain grocery store cakes. They tend to be a dense cake with frosting that is not overly sweet. My mother-in-law is from NY and is accustomed to fine Italian bakeries and she, along with everyone else, thought it was delicious....''

''Found this place on the recommendation of a local (Thanks, Gary!). Fell in love with the Kill Devil Hills blend--so much so, that I'm ordering more today. Each cup I drink (back here in the 'real world') reminds me of those summer mornings, sipping freshly brewed coffee and watching the sunrise....''

''Scott & his staff provided us with the most fabulous food for our parents 50th Wedding Anniversary & then for my brother's Wedding.
The crab cakes are the best ANYWHERE! Their Chocolate dessert paired with Champagne was incredible. All the food was fresh, delicious, and beutifully presented. The staff is friendly,and most efficient. You can't go wrong for any occasion or just to drop in & take something amazing home....''

''I recently went to Mulligan's for the all-you-can-eat crab legs and they were amazing. They came out hot and fresh and were delicious. I would definitely return!...''

''Everything is amazing about this coffee and bead shop.It is so humble and cozy, and the coffee is refreshing and delicious.For children and adults who do not like coffee,there are smoothies available that taste great.The art is also very fascinating,I love coming to this place,I definitely reccomend Uglie Mugs....''

''The food is always excellent here at The Tale of the Whale. The service is great and the views are too. I highly recommend the crab bisque soup, it is wonderful, as is all of the other food. You should make an effort to stop and eat here when in Nags Head....''

''Have to say I just had the best meal in some time. If crabcakes are on the menu don't hesitate...order it!! Wine list was very inventive and well priced. open kitchen was fun to watch. If you like fine food and want something more than fried fish try Meridian 42, you'll feel like you're above the rest!!!...''

''I honestly have never been to a more compassionate and caring veterinary hospital.
The vets at this clinic will stop at nothing to help your pet. And the staff is tops too!
Dr Grossman is also a consultant for the Veterinary Information Network (VIN). With that service, a difficult case can be researched on-line Then with the asistance of other VIN consultants, your pet can be properly diagnosed and treated or referred to the proper specialist....''

''We stopped by the Nags Head location (right next to Kitty Hawk Kites) and we thought it was really good. We had the pork bbq sandwiches, and the sides were really good. I didn't think the prices were that bad for pretty good food. I've paid more for food that wasn't nearly this good. The service was quick too. The only negatives were that the condiment containers on the table didn't seem very clean. That's why I gave it a lower ambience rating. The building could use some fixing up too. F...''

''Dr Sanchez takes his time with you and is very friendly; you do not feel like a number and do not feel rushed. They even called me at home to check on me later in the week....''

''This place has gone down hill since the new owners have taken over.It sounds like a RAP- FEST when I pulled on there small parking lot. A young man(looking like a grease monkey) was working on cars and suv's in there already small parking area..the SUV pictured in the add had dogs stored in them which was also uncalled for.. I'll never do business there again......''

''Terrific NC Pulled Pork BBQ sandwiches! Don't look for ''Atmosphere'' with BBQ people! Good value, tastes great and a beach tradition for us!...''

''My parents live in Southern Shores, and I now live out-of-state. Like most of us, I stay too busy, and I am always forgetting birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc. With a phone call to SeaBreeze, I can get an emergency bouquet sent out on the same day, and I get a little bit of ''home'' in the process. I can even ask about the weather ;-). Whoever answers the phone at SeaBreeze always makes me feel as if I am right there; I can almost feel the sand in my shoes ......''

''I have used OBXChefs2go for many different events and have found them very easy to work with. Wes is always available when I have a question. The food is great and they are always very professional. I would recommend them to anyone!...''

''This place is so laid back, yet the food is awesome. The prices are pretty good, and a great variety of types to choose from. Neat Location, but not always consistent in quality....''

''This has to be some of the best BBQ I have ever had. These guys really know what they're doing. We had the pulled pork, ribs and fried chicken and all were excellent. The side dishes are even better. That night they had brunswick stew, collard greens and chicken and dumplings. They were better than mama's. Prices were great too-most of the entrees were around $10. Service was friendly and the location is close to everything. Highly recommended....''
