''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 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...''

''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....''

''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....''

''Best golf views and challenging course that will change from morning to afternoon and day to day with the sound winds. Rarely will you take the same shot twice at a hole...''

''I was sending flowers to a friend in Nags Head and used this florist. They did a great job at a very reasonable price. I would use them again....''

''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...''

''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!...''

''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...''

''What a gem of a place! The atmosphere was calming and relaxing. I love the sailboat theme! The service was great, from the time I called til the time I arrived. The massage was so wonderful that when I dressed, I put my blouse on inside out!...''

''Man, That Bobby really is one fish'n'fool....''
