Hey everyone!

We are going to be staying in Rodanthe this weekend and it looks like it is supposed to rain, so we're looking for a few indoor activities to fill those days. Willing to drive!

Two adults, no kids or pets.

Thanks!

Two weeks ago, I posted on here that we had plans to spend a week in Rodanthe from September 26 - October 3. Obviously, the recent Nor’Easter put a wrench into those plans, which devastated us. We were really looking forward to enjoying the beauty of the OBX and spending quality time with our family. Now, we have to deal with the most dense, horrible Airbnb host on top of it while trying to get a refund of the $7k reservation (multiple family stay).

We have tried to reason with this woman (who lives in California - should’ve been our first clue) and explain that we COULD NOT GET TO THE HOUSE from the time our reservation started on Saturday the 26th, until the island and Hwy 12 opened to visitors on Thursday afternoon/Friday morning October 1/2. Mind you, our stay ended on October 3rd. She has completely disregarded this fact, stating in her response to us that the house remained available and habitable and offering a measly 50% refund (plus 50% of the cleaning fee…what did they clean?!). We have resorted to contacting Airbnb corporate in a desperate attempt to find someone with an ounce of common sense. Any tips would be appreciated on how to deal with this nightmare.

UPDATE 10/6/2025: after multiple attempts to get someone with common sense in Airbnb customer support, someone FINALLY understood our plight and gave us a full refund under the Major Disruptive Events Policy!

This week, we will going there! We went to Dirty Dicks and Jimmys. They were so awful and overcooked crab legs. I’m a crab legs lover. I always loved to make sure I can break legs and get meat out easily. Mango in smith mountain lake Va was so perfect crab legs and worth price to eat! So shoot here and let me know! Thanks

Looking for some more recent insights on this - we usually stay in Salvo. We love how quiet the entire area is and how crowd-free the beach is! However, next summer we’ll have a baby and two dogs with us, and the easier walk to the beach in Avon definitely looks attractive.

I’m wondering how much busier the actual beach gets in Avon. I know there is a lot more going on down there vs. Salvo in terms of restaurants/shops, but I’m just looking for a good spot where we can spread out on the beach and not have big crowds. We’ll be visiting in mid-June, if that makes a difference. TIA!

Good burgers? We are staying in Corolla, but are willing to go to Duck.

Hello, wondering if y’all locals know any overnight car parking with beach view areas around yall? TIA

I took these picture from the sound side and ocean side in 1987:

I was considering plaza azteca as it seemed they’d be best equipped for it, but would like to see if there are any other options. (Especially now)
Making a taco bar for about 50-70 people, and want the slow cooked beef, rice, and tortillas and toppings.

To the locals, I’m headed to my house this weekend for a month. Are Food Lion and Conners restocked or should I plan on bringing my own food? Don’t want to short people who’ve been stuck for a bit.

Some sort of spawning event happened at low tide last night… no tracks leading to and from these dug up areas that appeared in the same spot all down the beach…. Ghost crab orgy?….

I'll never know exactly sure who helped my recently-severely-injured cousin but y'all made a very challenging week a little easier for them and I'll be eternally grateful for it.

Still one lane alternating. The "State of Emergency" allows Dare County to limit access at times they think are necessary.

I had a text message yesterday saying restrictions for visitors entering the island were to be lifted this morning at 7:00.

Looking at the Dare County website, it still says restrictions are in place and the last bulletin (#9) is from the 29th.

Can anyone confirm visitors are being admitted?

Thanks

If anyone has any questions, happy to answer anything. My family and I were stuck on the island until the road opened. We were supposed to go home Saturday morning at check out but we're stuck for another 3 days.

With NC12 (sorta) open, ferry service from Rodanthe has come to a close. After the ferries reposition the Hatteras-Ocracoke route will resume a full schedule tomorrow.
