My favorite shop on Hatteras Island! They definitely got…read moremost of my "souvenir " money in the way of yarn and jewelry. Also bought some crochet hooks and an embroidery kit as a gift. Loved their yarn bowls, pottery, and jewelry selection. My friend also bought a $50 bag of self-selected discount yarn. We came for the yarn- they have two full rooms dedicated to it, with some nice name brands and quality fibers, some hand dyed locally, others from as far away as Australia. Broad variety of weights, fibers, and colors, almost had everything I was looking for. One thing I might suggest adding to the inventory is some beach-themed drop spindles and some roving (spinning fiber), grown and dyed in NC. We visited twice in the one week of our stay. The guy at the register is somewhat brusque but he's a hoot. The woman in charge of the yarn room was very sweet and helpful. There are two big well behaved shop dogs, but I recommend leaving your own pets at home, they are probably not allowed. All in all, we had a great time shopping and will be back next year- maybe with some of our projects made from the yarns we bought.

It's a lovely idea to merge a little coffee corner with a boutique, and reminds me a bit of a…read moresimilar experimental set-up in Raleigh at an art shop (the coffee part of things didn't end up lasting). But they seem to make it work well here. While waiting for my car to get worked on a little down the road, hubby and I stepped in to order a drink and kill some time. The boutique is rather small, but stocked full of clothes and accessories for women. Very Hot Topic-ish. Sweat bands with teenager-y statements on them; punk-y jewelry; and ironic pop culture pieces. Neighboring is a coffee-friendly store with a more adult motif and a connecting door. They weren't yet open, so we didn't get a chance to browse. On the far wall, you can order among iced coffees, fraps, americanos, and the other usual suspects. They have what must be around 50 flavor shot options -- 10 of which are sugar free. And a shot is included with your frap, which is what I got. The coffee was good, though consistency-wise, I would have liked a little more ice in my frap. No indoor seating, so take it onto the front porch and enjoy!

Visited here on November 11th during a girls weekend trip to Frisco…read more This gallery was so cool and had a lot of unique things. I bought a wooden dice of Left Right Center game and a wooden box that had the most cool design ever and so reasonable priced! Everything in the store was 10% off that day. Would love to go back here again if I am ever in the area again.

Everything is hand-crafted by local artists, which makes for great souvenirs and gifts. I've purchased gorgeous jewelry, coasters, ornaments, and other items. Also, the people that work here are lovely and are always happy to help you find whatever you're looking for. If you're looking for high quality souvenirs, skip other stores that sell a lot of the same items, and visit Seaworthy Gallery instead :)

My cousin and I went out to the Gulfstream on the Hatteras Fever II. I don't know who the Captain…read morewas, because he never spoke to us, only yelled at everybody. The First Mate was Aidan, and he was a worker. He earned every bit of his tip. On our 10 hour trip we hit two, that's 2, schools of fish, and a shark that 2 of us on this 6-man crew had to fight for 45 minutes before they cut the leader. I would think a charter boat captain, who does this every day for a living, would be able to put you on some more fish, rather than riding around for hours. When we got back in they took the fish to the "cleaning station" which is a separate entity. They claimed, and we paid for 140 pounds of fish to be cleaned. Now, just in my head, dividing that by 6, my cousin and I should have gotten around 46 pounds of fish. When we got home and weighed it, we got 13 pounds. I don't know definitely that they took our fish, or just lied about the weight, but one or the other is true. They also nickel and dime you to death over there. It's extra to vacuum seal them, then it's $1 per shovel of ice for your cooler. I could not recommend these outfits to anyone I care about.

Feat in the Sand #975 - Avon, NC…read more We will start with the good: Great location! Very nice home with a lots of bedrooms, bathrooms, two refrigerators, a nice washer and driver, a nice hot tub and a large pool. We loved the gates for the steps, the high chair, games/puzzles, and a large selection of books. Lots of silverware, dishes, and pots and pans. The arcade games were also a big hit. Now the bad: COCKROACHES! Dirty upon arrival. Screened in porch had cans and cigarette butts left behind. The home looked like it had been tidied but not cleaned. It smelled bad. We spent the first hour of our vacation cleaning. We bought febreeze and Lysol spray/wipes. We swept and vacuumed. (We had to clean the vacuum as there was something nasty and sticky in it.) Ceiling fans were dirty and there was mold in multiple areas of the home. Screws sticking up out of the deck. One chair was broken and whoever had placed it like it was fine until someone sat in it. Grass at volleyball court wasn't mowed until Thursday so we didn't get to use it. Beds (all of them) were terribly uncomfortable. Sheets were cheap and felt like a paper towel from a gas station. Comforters were dirty, food stuck to them. Couch was disgusting with crumbs all over. The Keurig was broken and we were told that it would be replaced the following day. That day came and went. After asking, we were told that the owners did not want to pay to replace it. I would NOT recommend Surf or Sound. The house itself overall has a lot of amenities but would not stay again because of the cockroaches and terrible beds.

Completely unacceptable condition for an $8,000/ "week" vacation rental…read more I am a licensed home inspector and home builder and I can tell you that the condition of Feat in the sand #975 was completely unacceptable. We paid approximately $8,000 for this rental and expected a clean, properly maintained home. Instead, we arrived to sand in the bedding, body hair and dust from previous guests, extremely overgrown grass, and numerous maintenance issues. That level of cleanliness is unacceptable at any price, let alone an $8,000 rental. More concerning is the visible mold/microbial growth around the HVAC register and on the ceilings, along with apparent condensation/moisture at the vent. As someone who works in construction and understands building conditions, this is not something I would expect to see in a professionally managed vacation property. We also reported the overgrown grass, which was approximately a foot and a half tall, and it remained that way three days later. With young children staying at the property, leaving the grounds in that condition was unacceptable. The biggest issue isn't that a rental property can have an occasional maintenance problem. Problems happen. The problem is that this property was turned over to paying guests in this condition in the first place, and the response after we reported the issues was inadequate. For $8,000, I expect the house to be clean, inspected, maintained, and ready for guests when we arrive. Sand, body hair, dust from previous guests, overgrown grounds, and visible moisture/microbial growth around an HVAC system are nowhere near that standard. I would strongly recommend that anyone considering renting through Surf or Sound Realty inspect the property carefully upon arrival and thoroughly document any problems immediately. Based on our experience, we did not receive the quality or value we paid $8,000 for, and I would not rent from this company again. The pictures below are a small sample of what our home's condition was
