''This place is awesome. If you can't find what you are looking for here you probably didn't need it anyway. This is the first place my wife and I hit as soon as we get to the beach and the last place as we are leaving. My wife loves a ''girlie'' sandwich from the deli of course I always get a ''manly'' one and we always get a fine bottle of red wine to go with them. The wine and beer selection is great and the gourmet section is incredible. Most definitely our favorite place at the beach....''

''We have stayed at the campground twice and are planning a third annual trip. We have always had great service. We did have a minor problem late one evening after the office had closed but someone arrived to assist in less than 15 minutes. I highly recommend you consider staying here....''

''Whether Im comingoff the beach or in need of a couple of items before going on, Frisco R& G always has what I need. From fresh Bait and tackle, to equipment that may still be at home 300 miles away, to the latest in fishing technology. Thanks to the knowledgeble staff,I always get to at least 'CHASE'' THAT BIG RED DRUM... Richie Watts ,Laurinburg NC...''

''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!...''

''It's Southern Style foods.They serve breakfast and lunch. They have an inside and outside dining area. Their breakfast includes, biscuits, bacon, sasuge, eggs, french toast, hasnbrowns, cressonts,any kind of sandwich you would like them to make, coffee. It's Deli style of course. You order,take your food to the register, pay and then go eat in one of their dining areas. I prefer to take it home. They do have WIFI which is a real plus. It's a favorite spots for budget minded diners....''

''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!!...''

''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....''

''For all the typical beach souvenirs, you can't miss this place. There's some junky stuff, of course, but the t-shirt/sweatshirt selection is great, and I always find other ''must-haves'' to buy. A visit to Ocracoke isn't complete without a stop at the variety store....''

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

''This is where all of the houses on the Island originated! Gotta give them props!...''

''Great products and quality made. I have had their chairs on my deck year round in Cape May, NJ for 15 years. Most deck chairs are made with nails. The combinaton of screws and quality cedar make a sturdy chair....''

''This place has old fashioned hoop cheese, fresh seafood & all the fun little souvineers! Definitely worth the stop...''

''I am usually a Wal-Mart shopper but in Dare County Wal-Mart is so far away. K-Mart seems to be better positioned on the island for the type of store that it is. It is very easy to get in and out of and it seems to be well stocked. The service is fine so this is a great store and my #1 general store for the Outer Banks...''

''Everything you find at all the other stores is here yet it is only half the price!...''
