Your Daily View of the Outer Banks

This morning on the Outer Banks we have temperatures in the 40′s, 46 degrees exactly, and strong W winds coming in. If you are going to take a look at the chest high waves, be sure to bring a wind breaker with you! Gorgeous, sunny, clear skies too. You know, since the North Carolina beaches are the prettiest of all :)

Today is the first day back at the office after a Fantastic Break. Lots of family, friends, and good food over the past weekend! Did you have a good Holiday? We sure do hope so! Especially those who couldn’t make it to the Outer Banks this time around. That’s okay- you always have next year. Comment below, and please let us know how your Holiday went! What did you do? Did you travel? Shop? Eat? Hold or attend a Holiday Party? It’s all just so glorious isn’t it? This time of year that is.

OBX Weather, Beach, & Surf 12/21/2011

OBX Weather, Beach and Surf Report

December 21, 2o11- only 5 days until Christmas!

This morning Crystal and I took a drive out to Nags Head, North Carolina to grab your OBX weather, beach, and surf report. We made a pit stop at Morning View Coffee before the beach, and man was it delicious! It’s actually are favorite, and we try to go as often as we can. If you are a coffee lover you need to stop next time your on vacation so  you are not missing out! yummy is all I have to say.

Today is a gorgeous day out on the beach. We were surprise there wasn’t a soul out there enjoying this odd December weather. Although it is extremely warm, 64 degrees to be exact at the moment, there is a high chance of rain for later this afternoon. (I’m guessing the overcast skies are keeping individuals away.) Take a look at the video below for a view of the empty pristine beach that we have out this way!

Any way, now that you have the weather for the day AND a peek at the beach.. let’s talk CHRISTMAS! Is there really only 5 days left? Yup, I believe so. Kinda crazy, bitter sweet, and EXCITING all in one. Southern Shores Realty is so thankful for the year of 2011. All of our guest, owners, and others who have popped into the office have made it Great!

Enjoy your days friends! – Southern Shores Realty

Surfs up in December on the OBX?!

Southern Shores Realty w/ your Outer Banks Vacation Rentals

We hope you Christmas week has started off well! Today is Tuesday, December 20, 2011 and here on the Outer Banks we have an absolute PERFECT December day to take advantage of. Sunny skies, soft WSW winds around 5-10 knots, and lots of activity going on for this time of year.

We took a drive out to the Nags Head Pier (closed for the season) to grab some footage of all the surfers for you to check out. Can you say full on Wetsuit? Although it’s cold out there with the water temperature around 50 degrees, they are ripping up those waist to chest high waves. I Wish I had that kind of will!

Here I am chatting about this gorgeous day out on the beach which you can simple watch the video for when we have ONLY 5 whole days until Christmas Day! Have you finished up your shopping? Still have presents to wrap? Are you going to take the family on a search for the best Christmas lights you can find in the neighborhood? LET US KNOW! We would love for you to share the next couple of days with us; just comment below the video or visit our Facebook Fan Page.

Do you go Christmas Caroling?

December 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment

7 Days until Christmas!

Can you believe we only have one week until Christmas day? The past month has just flown by! Thankfully we have guys like the “C Notes” to bring the Christmas spirit alive. Although I don’t believe the Outer Banks could be any more alive this time of year! We have Christmas light shows, breakfast & dinner with Santa, charity fundraisers, Toys for Tots, food banks, and so much more giving going on right now. When you give, you receive more.

Last week the “C Notes”, a few Outer Banks locals, made their way down the beach singing and sharing Christmas Carols. They stopped at many places including the local Hospital, Nursing Home, businesses, etc. Our office was lucky enough to have them stop by. It’s so wonderful when individuals show they care, and in my opinion nothing shows more this time of year than a few carolers! What a great present this was. Thanks guys! I hope they brighten your day as much as they did our office.

You can join along in the video below with them. They sing beautifully. Enjoy! Let us know what you think by commenting below. Southern Shores Realty

So enjoy it while you can.

Wine Bar & Cafe at Coastal Provisions Market

December 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment

COASTAL PROVISIONS

Are you looking to spend a casual yet tasteful night out on the Outer Banks? Coastal Provisions Market, a respected sandwich shop located directly behind our rental office, has revolutionized their cutting edge wine shop into a peaceful Wine Bar & Cafe. (Perfect for an OBX OSCAR.) This unique restaurant experience on the Outer Banks of North Carolina is finished with a solitary style of service, and deliciousness. Need I say more? If you are headed to the Outer Banks, definitely plan a night to join us at Coastal Provisions for a complete night with one of a kind tapas, and tasteful wine.

Dan Lewis, co-owner of Coastal Provisions and daily behind the deli worker, has revealed an in house favorite, and one of the most popular dishes of the season for me to share with you! The Duck Bacon Wrapped Sea Scallops are among several unique tapas dishes that this restaurant has to offer, and deserves to be put on the spotlight for the entire world of OBX vacationers. It’s a must have; check out the preparation video below. Not only has there been beach buzz about how wonderful the Wine Bar & Cafe has been since its opening, but also about how yummy the Duck bacon was! After the bacon is prepared from the duck breast, it is then wrapped around a local fresh caught sea scallop; finalized by sauteing in a special pan with high heat. I just had to go see what all the fuss was about. From personal experience I can now say that it is nothing less than well-prepared, pleasing, appetizing, savory, and mouthwatering. All for $9.99!

The Wine Bar & Cafe is open Thursdays through Saturdays beginning at 5 p.m. Gentlemen if you are looking for an inexpensive dinner for your significant other, this is the place to go on the Outer Banks. Ladies, are you looking for a girls night out? Coastal Provisions Wine Bar & Cafe is also perfect for that. The mood of the cafe is extremely calming with a soft mood, and dimmed lights. (It’s actually extremely cute inside.) 20 Elegant wines are offered with the best prices around, and the best part about the wine is that you can order a bottle at retail pricing! Reservations are recommended. (252.480.0023)

We hope to see you behind the Southern Shores Realty office at Coastal Provisions soon.
