When it was delivered, I mentioned how heavy it was to take to the beach. Then at the beach, the waves would fill it, and it would sink. I tried to shorten my rental., But the owner would not allow it. I feel like they should've done more to inform me that this type of kayak would not be good for the ocean. This is not mentioned anywhere on their website and when they delivered it and I said I was taking it to the ocean , They also didn't warn me. I'm so glad it didn't sink !

I rode the bike I got but they gave me a basket that didn't fit. Island Cycle, however, was easy to work with, only charged you 10% down until they delivered and everything was in excellent shape. Next time I'll skip the free good and just rent from Island Cycle.

We had 12 beach chairs, 3 umbrellas, 2 coolers filled with ice and 6 water bottles for 6 days. All of the equipment was in excellent condition and comfortable. Donnie was always on time and very flexible with your hours if requested. Well worth paying for this service and worth every penny. What a nice service not to have worry about traveling with chairs and umbrellas for one but then to have it setup and broken down for you daily is spectacular. I highly recommend this service with this guys. They are above and beyond others I saw and they even threw in a trash can set up right next to our spot. He is there earlier than anyone else so you're guaranteed to get the best spot.

It really helps to not have to haul your beach chairs and umbrella down on the drive, but rather you can easily rent them for the week and they'll even deliver to your house. Additionally, we started renting a grill from them which is extremely convenient. The most recent rental went off smoothly just like our other interactions with them. They even dropped everything off on Memorial Day, when a lot of other businesses were closed. The manager, Kris, dropped off our items and even hooked the propane up to the grill for us. Thanks Ocean Atlantic for continuing to provide friendly service and a level of convenience that is always appreciated on our vacation.

Maybe a good two time visit for those like me with sensory issues. There is so much!

Not my area). AND kites! Stunning ones. Highly recommend this particular Kitty Hawk Kites. I know there are a few others among the Outer Banks. This one seems like the best or most epic store to wonder about. Bonus (for me): there is a bar upstairs! With a great view of the ocean.

In years past, we…read morebrought our own tent, umbrellas, and chairs--spending time lugging everything to the beach and setting it up ourselves. But now that we're older, we decided it was time to make life easier. Enter Farmdog Beach Services. I found them through online reviews and reached out with a few questions. The customer service was impressive--quick, friendly, and helpful. One concern I had was the rainy weather forecast. They assured me I wouldn't be charged for days when setup wasn't possible. That peace of mind sealed the deal. We arrived on Saturday, and by Sunday morning our tent and chairs were already perfectly set up. This continued like clockwork every day of our trip. Even though we had one bad weather day, the overall service was so good I wouldn't even mind if we get charged for it. A special shoutout to Steve, the gentleman who set up our tent each day. He was the kindest, most polite and personable person we've met in Nags Head in years. My mom adored him. Steve--thanks for the secret fishing hole tip We'll definitely be booking with Farmdog again next year. They made our beach week truly stress-free and memorable. L Green
