I stumbled upon Absolutely Outer Banks a handful of years ago and I was impressed with the selection of locally made arts and crafts.

One item that this store specializes in is really cool resin windows that are unique and exude happiness. Absolutely Outer Banks has artwork in all mediums and in all price points. They have jewelry, wood signs, candles, prints, glass work, textiles, metal work, etc.  On my most recent visit I enjoyed looking at a vintage pin ball machine and eyeing up the beautiful array of Fiestaware. There is plenty of opportunity for ooohhhing and ahhhing.  The owner is super friendly so that adds to the overall great experience. Absolutely Outer Banks is centrally located in Kitty Hawk in the former spot of a bank.

I really wanted that but it was $500 but so cool. Not sure what I would do with it but it was cool. The bamboo kitchen utensils were more my price point. Definitely worth the stop if you are looking for a gift for someone or for yourself.

I was impressed with their large selection of outdoor furniture. They carry several brands of weather-tolerant and salt air friendly furniture in addition to Polywood. With their expansive showroom I was able to see the most popular pieces in person, get a color sample and even a brochure. The staff was helpful with my questions and very welcoming. Before I even made it to the outdoor section I was wowed with the large indoor furniture selection. The store had many lovely vignettes complete with fun linens and lovely artwork. Most of the furniture has a beachy or nautical theme. The store was definitely comfortable and inspiring. Daniels' Homeport is also know for their rental cottage furnishing services. They can put complete packages together for rental homes and they even sell stuff to fully stock a kitchen.

When I was a kid I remember The Cotton Gin having lots of boring cotton stuff - bedspreads, runners, placemats, towels and such. As an adult, I appreciate all of the nice quality cotton products they carry and I love shopping the other merchandise they carry. The Cotton Gin carries a fun variety of stuff from clothing, housewares, ornaments, home decor, souvenirs, jewelry and such.

We first met Barry Ambrose in 1997 when we were building our first house in Corolla Light. Both…read moreour realtor and our builder -- independently -- suggested Ambrose Furniture as the best source for our furniture. He helped us furnish our 6-bedroom home in a way that remained fresh and current til the day we sold it in October 2018. How often can you say THAT about furnishings? In 2001 we bought ANOTHER beach house in Corolla Light -- this one to rent out. Barry again helped us replace key pieces of furniture to update the look and have it stand out from the other rental houses. He suggested fabrics that would stand up to the wear and tear of weekly rentals. And they did, saving us money and keeping the house looking fresh. Last year Barry helped us furnish the house we built for our retirement when we tore down the rental house. He has an uncanny knack for asking what we want, having us give a semi-coherent explanation, and then showing us furniture and fabrics that are even BETTER than what we imagined. When we walked into our new home last December and saw the furniture in place, we were speechless. Literally! And besides having amazing taste, Barry is the friendliest, most responsive, most honest person with whom to deal. Meetings that we would thought would take the entire day managed to be completed in a couple of hours. That's how efficient Barry is. He knows his stock -- and the showroom is full of amazing ideas and samples. We can't say enough great things about him. I know that in order to make a review believable you're supposed to point out a failing. Sorry -- we can't think of one, except perhaps that they don't have a showroom in the Washington, DC, area! Does that count? We certainly got stupendous advice from our realtor and builder way back in 1997.
