A small hole-in-the-wall peanut store. It's not full of 1000 choices, or silly childish pun names…read morelike some other nut stores in the area, and it's better for that. You've got about 10 options for peanuts, and some other stuff (including some ice cream). It's really all you need. I got the french fried peanuts and they hit the spot. Service was friendly, and I saw the employees helping some people figure out what kinda ice cream they wanted, and it seemed like everybody was having a good time.

We tried to find the same place we had visited last year but we were told it was not available, We…read morewere told to make sure to visit the main shop on our way home from trip. We did and it was just what we had expected and everyone got the treats,however, they mentioned the store in Manteo was now inside the coffee shop. We wished we would have known all the information. We love Mackay's ferry fudge, cheese and fudge.

This grocery store is so cute and unique. We had so much fun looking around at all the cool things…read more Produce, meats, cheeses, sauces, wines, beers HUGE SELECTIONS. Fresh deli and prepared foods. Desserts. We got a panini that was so incredibly good. It had fig jam, I'm definitely going to get another panini this week.

Went here a couple times to grab pizzas for dinner when pizzerias were either sold out for the…read morenight or we would have needed to wait hours to eat at a restaurant. The Margherita pizza the first night was great. Generous toppings, slices were cut well, and the crust was thin but not over cooked. We decided to try them again when we were in a time crunch and needed a quick meal. The second time, we tried the ensalada pizza. The person preparing our order burnt the crust and put inappropriate toppings on the pizza. Instead of the toppings outlined on the pizza like arugula, she put salad mixed greens which burned and became extremely bitter. Crust was dry and burnt. She did not add the balsamic glaze either. The tomato sauce was extremely tart but last time was much more balanced. If they were out of ingredients, I don't understand why they wouldn't tell us and would instead scam us by giving us a bastardized version of the pizza. Incredibly unprofessional and I will not come back here.

Welcoming gourmet olive oil shop! The employees greeted us when we walked in and discussed their…read moreproducts. They offered olive oil tastings and answered our questions. In addition to olive oil, the store is packed with local goods. Definitely a shop worth visiting if you are nearby and need a gift for yourself or someone else!

I also think the name is very cute. Shipwreck is an Outer Banks staple that has been in business for decades. They have tons of sea shells and driftwood. They also have jewelry, ornaments, home decor and toys all inspired by the Outer Banks. For those looking for hermit crabs, they have those too! For vacationers wanting a great beach souvenir shopping experience, Shipwreck is a good place to check out!

Bottom Line: A huge variety of Christmas ornaments arranged by theme but very few local or unique…read moreornaments. My husband and I enjoyed browsing the two storied Christmas Mouse. There is a ton of inventory and the ornaments are arranged by theme, as shown in some of my pictures. The ornaments are largely the mass produced type that are made in China but I did see a small selection of ornaments which I think are (somewhat) locally made. This store is a great place to shop for ornaments for my "fun" Christmas tree that I string colored lights on and display in my basement rec room. But as far as my "classy" tree with white lights and silver and gold ornaments, I didn't see anything that suited that tree. In addition to ornaments, they have Christmas cards, nutcrackers and other seasonal decor. I left with an avocado ornament that is a great homage to my time in SoCal and perfect for my "fun" tree. The Christmas Mouse is a fun place to browse and to stay cool on a hot summer day.

It's a great place to just browse through. They have so many good choices that you are bound to…read morefind something that you didn't know you needed.
