''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....''

''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....''

''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!!!...''

''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....''

''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...''

''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....''

''Great soups and desserts here; owners are very hospitable. Specials offered daily--lunch and dinner.
Lots of gourmet items to pick up and take home....almost everything you can think of....''

''The delivery was on time and the grill was very clean. I will use them again. Clifford...''

''From the outside this shop looks small but once you walk through the door the place is BIG! This is easily the best surf shop on Hatteras Island. We've been vacationing on Hatteras Island all our lives and visited every shop here but these guys have a great formula. They will talk to you and educate you on the products and I've never seen them be pushy with sales or bad-mouth any other shop (something I have encountered in other shops - boooo) Definitely a place you want to go....''

''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!...''

''my sister & I love getting slushies here.They have the best slushies in the world!!!!...''

''These guys have a lot of great equipment for sailboarding and surfing. Sometimes you can find good used boards here too. I had them repair a surfboard for me last summer and they got to it really fast and now the board looks almost like new....''

''What happened to the southern charm? She acted as though she didn't have time for any questions I had. Well, I don't have time for rudeness and took my business elsewhere. Apparently, she doesn't need any more business!...''

''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....''

''New bikes. Best Prices. Always a great experience...''

''Finally! I found a place that cuts my hair right and for a reasonable price! The staff is friendly and very professional!...''

''We have eaten here several times; breakfast, lunch and dinner. Seating is limited and they can get quiet busy but the food is excellent. (I love their breakfast). If you are looking for an EXCEPTIONAL wedding cake taste theirs - possibly one of the best I've ever tasted and they designed one to our specs - it was beautiful....''
