            <title> Shooting for the Moongate in Nags Head</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
After five or six years of "soft" real estate sales and new home construction, 2013 seems to be the year when things are getting back to normal on the Outer Banks.The evidence is everywhere--from Corolla to Nags Head houses are being built, properties are selling and there is certainly life in the market again.&nbsp;The new community of Moongate, Resort Realtys joint project with SAGA construction in Nags Head, is certainly evidence.There are 14 buildable lots, three homes have been completed, another is under construction and two more lots are under contract waiting for plans to be approved. The location is wonderful--just across the road from the ocean, Moongate is between the Beach Road and Bypass with the Outer Banks Mall just to the west--within very easy walking distance.However, convenience is nice, but people buy and rent homes because the house make them feel comfortable--and in that regard Moongate delivers. A hallmark of a SAGA built home is the intelligent use of interior space, and these are no exceptions. The first phase of the development will focus on the ocean side of the street that bisects the subdivision and those homes are all have six or seven bedrooms--and all of the bedrooms have an airy and spacious feel to them. The master bedrooms in particular have to be experienced--or at the very least seen. Large, with third floor views of the Atlantic Ocean, theyre the type of bedroom that once youre there, you may not wish to leave.All the homes feature full rec rooms on the ground floor--there are no basements on the Outer Banks--and the living rooms are cozy and warm without feeling cluttered or close.The income potential for these properties is immense. Featured in the Resort Realty rental program, the three completed homes, Ocean Breeze, Moongate 1 and Moongate 2, are almost completely booked for the summer season even though they were not complete when the weeks were booked.


On May 8th, Resort Realty and Saga Construction held a open house for local brokers and other business professionals. The tour was a private, catered event that gave everyone who has been anxiously awaiting the completetion of the community, a chance to check it out.

            <title>'Ladies of the OBX | A fun night to support local charities</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
This past weekend on the Outer Banks, was filled with things to do and, even though the weather wasnt perfect, it was far from a wash out.The social highlight of the weekend had to be the 3rd Annual Womanless Beauty Pageant. For all that it is loud and funny and a bit off-color at times, it is a remarkable example of all that is best about the Outer Banks community.Eleven men, dressed in whatever womens clothing they could find to fit--actually some of them looked pretty good--selling tickets and taking the stage for charity. Held at Kellys Outer Banks Tavern in Nags Head, it was the most successful to date.The winner is selected through completely objective criteria---whoever raised the most money for the charity of their choice was crowned 2013 Outer Banks Charity Queen of the Third Annual Womanless Beauty Pageant.Using that criteria, the reigning queen for 2013 is Philonce (rhymes with Beyonce) who collected over $10,000 for Get Pinked, a grassroots effort sponsored by the Outer Banks Hospital to raise money for breast cancer patients. Phil Foreman, owner of Brew Thru was the man behind the wig and makeup.According to Dee Buchanan, who has been the organizing genius behind the event all three years, the 2013 Womanless Beauty Contest shattered last years record raising over $35,000 and still counting. An amazing tribute to the spirit of the Outer Banks.

            <title>Bodie Island Lighthouse Opens  | Outer Banks, NC </title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
After a $5 million makeover, the historic Outer Banks lighthouse opens Friday April 19th, 2013 to the public for the first time in its 141-year-old history. The public has not been allowed to climb the 214 steps to the top of the Bodie Island Lighthouse because it was a working lighthouse shining over Oregon Inlet, and then later due to the deteriorating condition, it was considered unsafe to climb.The 141 year old lighthouse has 214 steps to the top and with the new, clean, 19th century lens, the lighthouse can cast light 20 miles out to the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, from 170 feet, climbers can see an unobstructed view of the marshlands that surround it as well as the Pamlico Sound.Before the restoration project of the historic lighthouse began, Bodie Island Lighthouse was in rough shape. Among the repairs, the iron-work was rusted, the 10 flights of stairs were not stable and the glass in the lantern room was broken.Outer Banks visitors and locals may climb the lighthouse for free on Friday April 19th, 2013.

            <title>Outer Banks Upcoming Events | 4-16-13</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
What a fantastic time of year on the OBX! Spring is here at last, the weather is spectacular, the ocean water temperature is still chilly, but there is a ton of local events and things to do on the Outer Banks. One of the misconceptions about living and working in a vacation destination like the Outer Banks, is people have this belief that if its not summer, theres nothing to do. &ldquo;Not so!&rdquo; says any Outer Banks local. In fact, over the past couple of years, the to-do list for the shoulder seasons or "off-season" events keeps getting longer and longer and more interesting.&nbsp;Over the next few weeks, there are more than a dozen OBX local community events that speak to the quality and heart of this community.The Third Annual Womanless Beauty Pageant is coming up this Saturday (April 20)--and its difficult to adequately describe the unique beauty of the contestants. Held at &nbsp;Kellys Outer Banks Tavern in Nags Head, all the ticket proceeds go to the local OBX charity of the contestants choice.&nbsp;An amazing night of fun and community.Read more here.The sense of giving back is so strong on the Outer Banks that it seems to be the norm, yet occasionally something comes along that truly stands out. When Jessica and John Lenhart lost their daughter, Elizabeth, to SIDS they felt the best way to heal was to raise awareness. The result has been Illuminating Hope Event.The Fifth (and final) Illuminating Hope is coming up Sunday, May 5 at Aqua Restaurant and Spa in Duck. Amazing generosity of spirit from the Outer Banks restaurant community--especially Lynette Sumner, Aqua owner, who has donated time, energy and a location to the event. Great music, very kid friendly, excellent food and drink. Tickets are $25. Contact Aqua for ticket information (252-261-9700) or John Lenhart at 252-619-5279 or johnlenhart@yahoo.com.The Dare County Arts Council (DCAC) has been around for 25 years. The organization encourages, showcases &nbsp;and supports local artists of all kinds. Mollie Fearing was one of the founders of the DCAC and the art show that commemorates her. The Mollie Fearing Art Show is held annually during the month of May starting on May 4th this year. Local art, incredible variety and talent is showcased at the Roanoke Island Festival Park. For more information contact the DCAC at 252-473-5558.Family Movie Night, sponsored by the Children at Play Museum (252-261-0290), started last year with films every Friday night during the summer. Coming back for a second year, the movies will kick off on May 10. Its an outdoor event--sort of like a drive-in theatre. Families are welcome to bring chairs, picnics blankets and more. Held at the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau Event Site, a large open, soundfront field, just before Tanger Outlet Mall in Nags Head. It is a great way to spend an evening with the family.Combining a love of music with a belief that the wild mustangs of Corolla should be protected, local Mike Dianna created the&nbsp;Mustang Spring Jam, May 19 this yearr at the Timbuck II shopping center in Corolla. A great day for the whole family, amazing music and a lot of fun. All proceeds benefit the Corolla Wild Horse Fund. Dont miss this one.Read more here.This just scratches the surface of things to do on the Outer Banks.&nbsp;For more information on what else there is to do: &nbsp;www.outerbanks.org/outerbanks-events&nbsp;or&nbsp;&nbsp;www.outerbankschamber.com.

            <title>Outer Banks Spring, Families and Ospreys</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Spring has finally come to the Outer Banks . . . and not a moment too soon. In fact, a little bit late this year. This past weekend was absolutely spectacular, there were kites in the sky, sailboats on the sound, and the roads are filled once again with our OBX guests from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland and just about every other state up and down the eastern seaboard. It looks like it might get a little bit chilly again for a few days, but the sun should be out, and there can be no doubt that the seasons have changed. The Outer Banks shoulder seasons have been getting longer and longer--great news for Resort Realty property owners . . . but Easter really kicks off the spring and this&nbsp;year is no exception. In some ways it mirrors the symbolism of the holiday, a time of redemption and renewal. There is a definitly a sense of rebirth of the spirit as our businesses fill with customers and we shed the winter doldrums. There are a lot of reasons why people come to the Outer Banks and weve written about it a number of times in the past. The bottom line, though, is people come here because of family. Yes, the OBX is a beautiful place; yes, its convenient to a number of places yet just remote enough to make it a little bit exotic; it is a little more affordable than just about any other similar vacation destination. All of that is true, and that may bring people here for the first time--but families keep coming back because it is a great place family vacation destination. How good is the Outer Banks for families? Even ospreys agree, this is a great place to visit year after year. Thats right--our osprey parents are nesting once again outside our Duck office. If Mother Nature follows the course it did last year, by mid June we should have baby ospreys outside our doors and by the end of the summer theyll be flying on their own.Of course Duck isnt the only place that the cycle of the seasons in apparent. Trees are starting to bloom again--a little later than usual, but the buds are there. The snow geese and migratory waterfowl have all headed north . . . except for the Canadian geese that may have decided flying all the way back to their native land is just too much work.Last week and this week are spring break for most eastern seaboard schools--local kids are out this week--so its a wonderful time to bring the family down. But even after the kids are back in school, a weekend trip to the Outer Banks is a great way to take a mini-vacation. So pack a kite and a fishing rod &nbsp;. . . trout are running in the surf and at the piers and April is usually when rockfish show up . . . and visit for a while.

            <title>The Outer Banks this week | Food, fun and a parade!</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Spring is here at last. OK, maybe not officially spring, but 8 days and counting. On the Outer Banks, spring has sprung when the Outer Banks Taste of the Beach (www.obxtasteofthebeach.com) March 14-17 marks the end of the winter doldrums. &nbsp;An amazing long weekend that wraps up with a &ldquo;Sunday funday&rdquo; starting with the 24th annual Mike Kellys St. Partricks Day Parade and after, The Grand Tasting, which is the culmination of the week-long food event frenzy, and a unique food expo not to be missed.Admittedly almost every town, city or county has some sort of a &ldquo;Taste of&rdquo;, but the Outer Banks seems to be the only place that has created a tour of the venue with an amazing culinary experience. Although there are two events that bring everyone together in one place--Fridays Barbecue Cook-off and Saturdays Chowder Cook-off at the Marketplace in Southern Shores--just about everything else calls for a grand tour of the Outer Banks.There is wine tasting and beer tasting . . . and a tour of how beer is made at the Brewing Station. Sanctuary Vineyards, at the Cotton Gin in Jarvisburg has wine tasting with a tour of the winery.There may be more world class chefs on the Outer Banks packed into a limited area than any other place anywhere, and this is a great chance to learn from them how they approach their craft and to taste the final product.There are restaurant and pub crawls, special dinners, one pan breakfasts, bread making, chocolate tasting--just a wonderful, and very unique, Outer Banks way of doing things.


And--finally--Kellys St. Patricks Day Parade on Sunday.Describing Kellys tribute to the patron saint of Ireland is a dangerous task--and honestly the only true way to describe it is to witness it for yourself.The parade route is a mile long on the Beach Road in Nags Head, ending fittingly, at Kellys Outer Banks Tavern. Theres usually about 15,000 people lining the parade route, all craning their necks for a chance to see . . .High school marching bands, marching dogs, a beach chair precision drill team--a handful of Outer Banks charitable organizations 'Miss Something' . . . only half of whom are actually women, marching ponies, girl scout troops, boy scout troops and people who just want to be in the parade. In short--much of what makes the Outer Banks such a wonderful place to live and visit.&nbsp;


Its a great long weekend on the OBX. And if you can get away, come on down and visit. Time is short but here at Resort Realty we can still find you a place to stay. As the premier accomodations sponsor for the OBX Taste of the Beach, we have a few tickets left for the BBQ Showdown Friday afternoon for guests!&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Visit us for the long weekend at 800-458-3830 or online at www.ResortRealty.com.

            <title>Outer Banks Vacation Home Tips | Resort Realty</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Time to Fix-it-up | Your OBX propertySpring is almost here and we could not be more ready! &nbsp;Here on the Outer Banks, we havent had any blizzards or record snowfalls, or anything like that, but were really looking forward to spring, nonetheless. &nbsp;Of course, that also means our vacation season is coming up on us pretty quickly, too, so OBX property owners take note and make sure your home or homes are ready for your guests.&nbsp;This year is a little bit different than past years--Easter is very early--March 28, to be exact, and that does change things a bit. The time to get your property looking the way you want it to look and to get all those repairs done is shorter than in the past few years.And property owners in Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills and Kitty Hawk--dont forget that Mike Kellys St. Pattys Day bash is coming up and that always brings a crowd. Nothing like the summer, of course, but the streets are lined with a lot of residents and a good portion of visitors.


One of the interesting things that has been happening is the Outer Banks has become better and better at marketing itself as more than just a summer getaway. Weddings have become huge business; we are seeing more and more special events scheduled in the shoulder seasons. The result is more opportunity for rentals and revenue for property owners.Under the heading of unanticipated consequences, though, the pressure to keep your property in topnotch condition has become even greater . . . and the time you have to get that maintenance done has become shorter and shorter.


Adding to the pressure in keeping your property looking the way you want it too, the Outer Banks is experiencing a bit of building boom--something we have reported on a number of times.Thats great--our neighbors are going back to work, people are feeling a little bit better about themselves. However, if you need someone to work on your home, it can create a problem.Hopefully, maintenance and repairs have already been scheduled for your home. If not, its important to get things scheduled as quickly as possible. The building boom is great, but it does mean getting your work scheduled may be a problem. Exacerbating the problem, during the construction downturn, a number of construction workers moved out of the area. For the most part the best stayed, but the pool of skilled workers is a little smaller than in the past.If at all possible, May should be the goal to get your Outer Banks property ready for the season. Ensuring your home is renter-ready will make your happy guests, return guests.&nbsp;If you have some questions about how you can improve property and maximize your rental income, give David Pergerson, Resort Realty New Owner Consultant, a call. David can give you a free property management projection so you can make sure you are getting the most from your investment.

            <title>Outer Banks place in American history</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
February is a month of history. A month filled with
education and celebration of African American history as well as recognizing leaders
of our nation.


Events that took place on the Outer Banks during the Civil
War, would become an integral part of American history. Events here on the OBX,
very directly affected the status of slaves and a decision in 1863 by President
Lincoln.


The first military success of the war for Union forces came
in August of 1861 when they captured Hatteras Inlet from Confederate forces.
Hampered by swarms of mosquitos and biting flies, a transportation network
consisting of sandy intractable paths and miserable weather, union forces were
slow to take advantage of their position.&nbsp;


It was not until February of 1862 that General Ambrose
Burnside defeated southern forces holding Roanoke Island, the location of
Manteo--taking 2500 prisoners in the process.&nbsp;


The battle of Roanoke Island wasnt much of a battle.
Confederate soldiers, ill-equipped and poorly led, didnt stand a chance
against the overwhelming force that Burnside brought to bear.


Neither the siege of Hatteras Inlet nor the battle for
Roanoke Island, NC were major battles. Casualties were relatively light on both
sides and the fighting ended fairly quickly.


It is difficult to gage the military impact of Burnsides
campaign. The North was never able to take advantage of the foothold he had
gained in northeastern North Carolina, but the Confederacy was forced to keep
troops in the area to hold the Union army in check.


The human implications, though, were immeasurable.


In 1862, the moral and legal question of slavery was
secondary to the political conflict of the power of individual states versus
the federal government. The Union did not have a policy concerning the freed
slaves.&nbsp;


In the absences of federal guidelines, Burnside, as well as
a number of other Union Generals, issued orders that slaves in areas of
rebellion would be considered contraband of war and granted freedom.


The effect was immediate--an influx of slaves from
northeastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia sought refuge on Roanoke
Island. Freedmans Colony on the north end of the island, a social experiment
in integrating the freed slaves into society, was soon established. At its
height, the colony had 3500 residents.


There were a number of reasons for Lincoln issuing the
Emancipation Proclamation in June of 1863. Although a moral outrage may have
been an underlying reason, the timing was political and practical. One of the
practical considerations was the growing number of slaves who had been freed by
Burnside and his fellow officers&mdash;freed people whose status was unclear under
the then existing laws.


The Freedmans Colony failed soon
after the Civil War, yet its legacy is a part of the history of this country.

            <title>The Outer Banks Art Scene--Frank Stick Memorial Art Show</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Off-season Outer Banks eventsThe off-season on the Outer Banks is not such a secret anymore. The local's favorite time of year has also grown in popularity with visitors as well.As locals, one of the nicest parts of living and working on the Outer Banks is the chance to reconnect with friends, neighbors and the community during this time of year. &nbsp;Its &nbsp;an opportunity to take a deep breath, enjoy time with friends and recharge our batteries.Of the many off-season events that take place on the OBX,the Frank Stick Memorial Art Show. The show is 35 years old and has become a remarkable piece of the Outer Banks social fabric. The hosts for the show for the entire 35 years have been Glenn and Pat Eure, owners of Glenn Eures Ghost Fleet Gallery in Nags Head. Glenn and Pat are their own unique story--their generosity to the Outer Banks community and the arts community in particular has been the stuff of legends.&nbsp;Frank Stick was an early 20th century illustrator for outdoor magazines, considered one of the finest to ever work in that genre. He fell in love with the Outer Banks and started a second career in real estate development--the look and feel of Southern Shores, NC is largely a result of his vision.&nbsp;Although active in local OBX real estate, he never lost his love for visual arts and the first show was an outgrowth of that. &nbsp;After Franks passing, his son, author David Stick, continued to work with the Dare County Arts Council and the Eures , to keep the tradition going. David passed away in 2009, but if ever there was a tribute to the generosity of a family, the Frank Stick Memorial Art Show is it.The art itself is remarkable, representing an extraordinary range of media, styles and vision. The show takes place at the Eures Ghost Fleet Gallery. The opening reception and awards ceremony for the 35th Annual Frank Stick Memorial Art Show was held January 26th, from 6pm8pm and featured whimsical pieces, sculpture, modern art and portraiture.&nbsp;Art is a very subjective medium, and to point to personal favorites means just that--they are personal favorites. &nbsp;Marcia Clines &ldquo;Looking North , New Inlet&rdquo; and Meg Rubinos &ldquo;Waiting for Skimmage&rdquo; were just wonderful. &nbsp;If the intent of art is to evoke a reaction, &ldquo;What of the Air We Leave Our Heirs&rdquo; by Chrissy Teachout was very successful, if disquieting.&nbsp;The best in show piece,&rdquo;Visitant&rdquo;, by Darla Sandburg, &nbsp;is a deceptively simple gathering of the flotsam of the ocean that takes on added dimensions with the knowledge that everything in the work was found in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.Things do slow down on the Outer Banks in the winter, but there are still reasons to visit--and the Frank Stick Memorial Art Show is certainly one of them.Glen Eure pictured below.
