    Such a gem if you are looking forward hard to find luxury. Highly recommend! Ridiculous amounts of Frank and Eileen and fun French Finds!

There is a really fun history exhibit inside for us history buffs. They have everything from snacks to memorable takeaways. They have information about upcoming events and music festivals! Prices are decent. I look forward to coming back and getting more gifts for friends and family!

I love this store so I wish I had taken more photos so the people of the Webernet could see what a neat vibe it has and be sure to stop in. Immediately upon walking into this unique and quaint gift shop, you feel like you have been transported somewhere else with a magical story to tell. We enjoyed looking at classic National Park-esque shirts from Woodsy Owl with slogans like, "Give a Hoot, Don't Pollute," Sasquatch-brand soaps, gifty food items, and novelty drinks. Also, I loved the moonshine merchandise and that they had a really nice exhibit on Buffalo City right in the store. Having studied the history of Dare County a bit, I was somewhat familiar with Buffalo City being known for logging but I didn't realize that where all of the moonshine magic happen was just about 20 miles away. We visited nearing closing time so I didn't want to be too thorough in my perusing by now I wish I had spent more time in this chill store. Neat place with neat stuff and a neat story to tell.

    Bottom Line: There are many small businesses in Manteo and souvenir shops in OBX that earn their…read morecustomer's business but this is not one of them. Roanoke Marshes Trading has customer service equivalent to a vending machine. Instead of interacting with customers, the store has decided to just post handwritten signs about everything, everywhere. I can't really think of a more obvious and potent way to passively, aggressively insult customers than to scotch tape handwritten signs to everything. Don't do this. Don't do that. Don't touch. etc. I was in this store for about 15 minutes on a weekday and although I was one of only three customers, no one even said hello to me. I enjoyed my slow stroll through the store checking out the merchandise and marveling at all of the off-putting signs. Having worked in retail in a bustling touristy town, I know first hand that customers can present challenges (minimally supervised kids, dripping ice cream cones, etc.) but rather than post signs all over the store I know that it's better to directly and kindly approach a customer with a smile, give them great service and influence their behavior so it's desirable. Roanoke Trading does have some nice brands and decent stuff so it's too bad they've cheapened the experience by all of their signs. I left the store empty handed but I have some great ideas on writing a business management case study.

    Would give less stars if possible. Not a very pleasant atmosphere. Very crowded as far as walking…read morespace vs merchandise. The layout isn't very accommodating. We went here as a family on vacation. We all carry cash on vacations as to not run up credit card debt. My 9yr old son wanted to purchase 2 outer banks stickers for his bicycle with his own money that he has saved up for vacation. Mind you that he pondered this decision for quite a while as he is very careful about what he spends his money on. These stickers came up to about $14 together before tax. He only had a $50 bill. His entire vacation savings. The store wouldn't sell him the stickers when he got to the counter and said they don't take any bills over $20. (Kind of strange since a lot of their inventory is over $20). None of us had bills under $50 for him to borrow and as I said, we carry cash on vacations. In the end, he had to leave without being able to make the purchase that he was hoping for with the money that he has saved up for months for vacation. He was very upset. This was late in the day. I would think that the store would have tried to make an exception for a young child trying to buy something with his own money. I am sure they were able to make the change by this point in the day. In the end, I would suggest you shop elsewhere. Somewhere that puts effort into customer service. It is experiences like this, that make people choose to shop online. If there is no customer service, than what is the point. It is more convenient and easier to shop online. More brick and mortar stores are going to the wayside and this is why.

We initially found a beautiful glass bowl with multicolor shells at an excellent price. The owner of the shop asked that we if could come back he would box it for my wife as the store was very busy at the time when we came there. We had just started our visit in Manteo and we're thankful to have it boxed and had plenty of time to spare. We came back later with it ready to go and we shopped some more finding some hand crafted nautical fan pulls and wooden carving of a red fish to purchase as well. The owner was a very friendly native of the area who had traced his family back to the 1600's when they arrived on the island. The name and sign may be a little misleading to a great shop that has some of the more unusual nautical themed merchandised that are priced very reasonably. Definitely worth stopping in if you are ever in the area. I know we will be back when in the OBX again!
