Bottom Line: A nice beachy shopping center with stores, restaurants and such…read more Overall, I like the Timbuck II Shopping Village. For starters, I like the beachy aesthetic. Shoppers walk along decking and boardwalks to access the shops. Also, there are different buildings within the shopping center so that adds some interest too. My favorite shops here are The Cottage Shop, Sound Feet Shoes and The Cotton Gin. In addition to shops there are also a handful of restaurants and eateries. And behind the shopping center is a race track and miniature golf course. Timbuck II includes some other business too like a massage place and a real estate office.

We like to get a magnet from all our trips and this place had the best selection for about $4 each or less. We also got some apparel: sweatshirts, tees, pants. All decent for a souvenir place in my opinion. Would recommend.

Most of the clothing stores in Timbuck II sell the same exact stuff (or some approximation of it),…read moreso just do yourself a favor and go to Just For The Beach, because they have the largest selection of the same stuff. Plus they sell toys and beach stuff in their side room!

I recently had the pleasure of speaking to Iryana, the store manager for this location…read more I had reached out with a rather odd request. A good friend of mine had posted that her favorite mug, which she had purchased at this store years ago, had broken. She was asking if any of her friends were going to be going on vacation and might keep an eye out for it. However, I decided to do a little Internet, sleuthing myself, and so I called and reached out to the store and was putting in contact with the manager. I ended up sending her a picture of the mug and she did not make any promises, but she did say she would see what she could do. She later informed me that they no longer carried it in their location, and that could have been the end of it. However, she went above and beyond, and she actually reached out to other store managers in the area to see if anybody else might have it. Still no luck. However, that's not the moral of the story. The point is that she didn't have to do all of this. She runs a very busy store and had plenty of other things she could have been doing. I am sure. However, she took the time to try and help me so I could try and help my friend. The fact that she reached out to other store managers and even posted in a group of other managers, sharing the photo and just went above and beyond speaks volumes. These days you don't get that kind of customer service very often. And, because so many people only go online to post negative reviews, it's really important that I make a point of sharing the good! If you are ever in Corolla North Carolina, please check out this store and make sure to ask for the manager and tell her that you heard she provided amazing customer service and had wonderful collectible items. Support your locally own small business and people who go above and beyond! Iryana certainly did!

They have the most comfy, soft, snuggly sweatshirts for $20 ( and please don't ever change the sweatshirts or the price, that keeps us coming back), as well as stickers, magnets, ornaments, and any souvenirs you could possibly want. And the price point is spot on, you don't feel like you're getting right over the Kohl's and price gouged by some touristy tat shop. And just to add, my first $20 sweatshirt has been washed dozens upon dozens of times and is still soft snugly and intact as the day I bought it. Customer service is usually foreign exchange students who are doing their best, so please be kind.

A real hidden gem in a sea of overpriced souvenir shops!…read more I recently visited Outer Banks, NC and wanted to bring home a few shirts. I checked out a number of shops in Duck and was sorely disappointed. Most shirts were $20+ and/or had really lame designs. This shop allows you to pick a shirt of any color, choose your design, and have it imprinted...all for $11! The process only takes a few minutes. The owner was also super friendly and helpful in choosing the right combinations. I can't recommend this place enough!

There is a wide selection of anything mermaids in this store as well. I searched online and Etsy for similar mermaids and they do not exist. I found this service and product is very much worth the value to create your own piece of art and souvenir unique to Norfolk. You can also bring your own wine, have a date night or ladies night here. I have tried a few paint nights and similar craft shops, this one is by far my favorite.

ABSOLUTE SCAM ARTISTS, DONT BUY ANYTHING…read more i've never been one to write reviews on places but this is ridiculous. i went in this store to get souvenirs for my family, a little over priced but not unreasonable for the nick nacks. most clothing stores at the beach are a little over priced and that's cool and all, but here, the latino guy who acts like he barely speaks english told me at check out "i'll give you 3 free t shirts and the only thing you have to do is pay for the print and ill print it for you." in my head, im getting a good deal! awesome! proceeds to print me 3 custom decal shirts. told me "i put this washing and drying coat on all my shirts so they don't crack in the machines." then, charged me $60 per shirt for that small coat he was talking about. i paid $170 for 3 shirts. absolutely criminal and all sales are final. he didn't say anything about a price until i clicked accept. it was my fault for not asking questions so, i'm writing this review to help out the other people who don't ask questions like me. i went back to get a refund and blew up on him, he said he told me plain as day that he told me these prices but he never did. it's an absolute scam. there's better mom and pop stores for better prices all over. just be careful about this guy.

I emailed them, expressing my interest in a few items. While I didn't expect a response until they were open, Fran invited me to stop by anyway (we had already departed the OBX). She was kind enough to process our order and ship it safely and securely to us. Again, all before they opened for the season! We were so very pleased with our purchases and the kind service. This continued today when Fran realized that they had charged us twice for our order, something I hadn't realized. She had issued a refund as soon as she learned about this and emailed me the receipt. Again, what an exceptional level of Customer service. We look forward to visiting Duck again and visiting with the good folks at Duck General Store in person!
