We recently hosted a guest that was returning this year for a repeat tour. We chatted a bit about the reasons she enjoys the Outer Banks, and the memories that she's made here. Then she showed us this photo, stating that she's been one of our advocates for a long time. This photo was from May of 2023 --still stunning, still breathtaking.

Thank you, Linda R.! We loved having you back.

Thank you, David, for sharing these awesome memories with us! You are the May photo contest winner and will receive $250 off your next Blue vacation! e pool, hot tub, grocery store, outlets, etc... This dog-friendly place spent his labradoodle time on the upper deck lookout and loved walking with us in the cool evenings & mornings on the beach. We love the 'off season', I guess! Everyone we met was so friendly. We saw spectacular sunrises, hungry turtles, and utilized all the Buck Island amenities which were great for our teens! The house space, multiple beds, well stocked kitchen, and hot tub served our large family so well! Plus, our oldest daughter got engaged in the first 48 hours! So yes, this a magical place for us all! We will be back! Loved everything! Thanks for the gift basket as well! Loved it!! --- we are featuring the engagement pics."

Despite Tuesday's torrential downpour bringing an unexpected challenge—a leaky roof—our team proved its resilience. Within an hour of spotting the issue, our roofer was at the restaurant, patching things up. His quick response kept our dining room dry and our guests comfortable, showcasing the kind of dedication that keeps this place running. Thank you, Daniel!

That same grit has been vital as we navigate a quieter season. Business has been noticeably slower than in years past, and while there could be many reasons, we’re staying focused on what we do best. Our loyal customers are proof of that—yesterday, as I walked through the dining room, I noticed over half of our guests had already dined with us two or three times this week. That says a lot!

This kind of loyalty tells me we’re hitting the mark, even in tough times. It’s a reminder to keep pushing forward, delivering great food and experiences. Thank you all for your continued support as we weather the storms—literal and figurative—and keep this restaurant thriving!

This kind of support inspires us to keep pushing forward, and we want to ensure every visit is exceptional. While reservations aren’t as critical as in busier times, booking ahead helps us schedule just the right amount of staff and prepare the perfect amount of fresh ingredients for a seamless dining experience. So, next time you’re planning to join us, a quick call or online reservation goes a long way. Thank you! We can’t wait to welcome you back!

Just an update on situation that happened today. These same dogs were aggressive towards a customer on Monday when they were leaving the restaurant. Customer is ok but did have a bite mark. I reported everything to the Hyde County Sherriffs Department and they are investigating the situation. Thanks for everyone's love and concerns! I love all fur babies including dogs but this kind of behavior is unacceptable.

I'm absolutely heartbroken that a Ocracat that we had been feeding was killed by 3 dogs that jumped out of a gray Toyota Tundra in the restaurant parking lot. These dogs looked like they were hunting dogs with spiked collars. Be on the lookout Ocracoke. Just so sad.💔
