How busy is your quiet little beach community in October mid/late October?

Any tips on house renting? Just grind VRBO?

3/19/2017 9:32:07 PM

Mid/Late October is a great time to visit. Businesses for the most part are still sorta operating on their summer hours. It's not crazy crowded and it is generally still warm enough to enjoy the beach and boating. GREAT fishing.

Rental rates can vary. Some places are still using their summer rates and some are using their off season rates during October. So it definitely helps to compare rates.

October is also a really popular month for weddings down here. Mine is going to be late July, which pretty much cancels out having an outdoor wedding.

However, October is also a big hurricane month. So when planning a vacation don't be surprised if a hurricane decides to pop up and fuck things up for you.

What kind of fishing? All of it?

3/19/2017 9:53:00 PM

Pretty much all of it. Although, I mostly surf fish, and fall is a great time for surf fishing. Plus you can drive on the beach in the fall, so it makes it easier to get your fishing gear on the beach.

^^^We were able to rent a place on Sunset Beach for a month from mid-October to mid-November for what it costs for a week in July. It was great. Played lots of golf, did some fishing, and felt like a local, if only for a little while.

Full disclosure, my dad and my inlaws stayed the entire month, and me, my wife and little girl went ever weekend for 4 weekends straight, with one long weekend in there.

Sawahash pretty much nailed it, but I also like Red Fish and Amos Mosquitos in AB. Wednesday nights is locals night. Used to be buy one get one entree, but I think they changed it to 40% off back in the fall. Of course that deal is only good up until May.
Shucking Shack is ok too. They've got decent beers on tap.

So I went back and looked at this thread...and am I the only one that just now realized that it was a troll thread?

4/12/2017 6:41:59 PM

Anyone need any advice?

4/2/2018 10:52:58 PM

Anything new/interesting open around the EI area? Heading that way in September.

4/3/2018 7:25:57 AM

The pier house is open. Haven't been there yet, but I heard its good. The round-a-bout is open, some people dont know how to use it yet, but we're getting there. The Publix is open.

4/3/2018 7:39:50 AM

Oh yeah, forgot they were working on that Publix last time I was down. That Food Lion won't know what to do with itself now.

Where the hell did they put a roundabout?

4/3/2018 7:41:58 AM

definitely hit up the Publix while you’re there

they have groceries and shit

4/3/2018 7:46:16 AM

The round-a-bout is right in front of Publix

4/3/2018 1:40:15 PM

I hope that Publix stops sending me fucking mail every goddamn day now.

That's only like 40% true tbh

It's that time of year again!

6/15/2018 12:07:49 AM

I'm about too busy to give advice this summer. Come back next year!

6/18/2018 7:50:30 PM

NC Beaches are closed for renovations. Open again May 15, 2022.

Ha this thread

Sawhash, did y’all get a also or lidl too? Lidl wanted to open in Nags Head but the town didn’t approve of the design (too much glass I believe)

Which wings is the best wings?

6/22/2018 5:24:02 PM

Yeah we got a Lidl in MHC...its lame, I'm not a fan.

6/25/2018 8:03:19 PM

The new-ish roundabouts going into OIB are nice.

6/25/2018 10:59:10 PM

People bitched about the one in EI, but it's not that bad. I drive a school bus around it 4 times a day. It's easy to navigate.

Dont do shit like this

7/6/2018 7:49:53 PM

Man, that's a fucking bummer ^

7/7/2018 5:40:52 PM

To the question of which wings is the best....don't fucking go to wings. Support the local surf shops. They might be more expensive, but the quality of the stuff you get will be better and last longer.

2/8/2019 5:32:54 PM

The best Wings is the one that is now a brewery and not a Wings.

2/21/2019 6:16:05 PM

Watch out for fighting horses

2/21/2019 8:55:43 PM

^^yes! That place is awesome. There was one in MHC, but it burnt down. I liked going there.

2/25/2019 8:14:24 PM

Are they repairing the Crab Shack? I saw it got pretty fucked up from the hurricane. We'll usually try to stop in there once while we're out there on vacation late summer.

2/26/2019 8:01:55 AM

Yes, they will reopen in March

2/27/2019 6:19:38 PM

anybody have any general Kure beach area recommendations?

What happened to the circle at Atlantic Beach?

7/28/2019 12:59:32 AM

Shibumi shades are becoming popular. It worked pretty well for us on the days we had wind, but there were 2 days where the wind wasn't coming from a consistent direction, if it was blowing at all.

7/29/2019 12:12:09 PM

So beach house we’ve stayed at for the week has had ac problems all week. First half of the week it would get to 84 in the house in the afternoon. Now it’s better after two repairmen visits but still creeps up to 76 at night.

Ac repairmen have visited three times. What could we expect in terms of consideration from the rental company?

8/9/2019 11:29:29 AM

I would guess not much since you stayed all week despite the issues. So it’s not like you can claim the place was uninhabitable. Probably depends on how much of a fuss you make and how much crap the agency wants to listen to. Also, check your rental agreement.

8/9/2019 9:30:07 PM

fuck the beach

8/12/2019 9:02:41 PM

Went to Emerald Isle and up to Morehead City yesterday. Thought about you sawahash...

[Edited on August 12, 2019 at 9:26 PM. Reason : New Bern looked about as I expected, passing through]

8/12/2019 9:25:33 PM

Please do not come to the beach right now. K thx!

4/25/2020 12:15:25 AM

^ Wrightsville has opened beaches for exercise/walking/non-stationary activities, but has left public parking lots closed so pretty much restricting their use to locals/vacation home owners. Do you think that will happen in your neck of the woods anytime soon?

4/25/2020 12:03:31 PM

Yeah Bogue Banks is opened back up to residents only. They haven't opened up public parking yet (unless I've missed that announcement), so it's basically only people who live on the island or people who know places to park on the island that can go to the beach.

4/27/2020 3:32:58 PM

The beach is now open and I'm pretty sure the entire population of the earth is in Carteret County right now. Holy shit!

5/16/2020 3:35:57 PM

Any COVID updates?
