More Places to Stay

A number of the properties we've listed previously have been booked. While we've tried to weed those out, here are some more rental houses in Duck. Again, we highly recommend getting together with some friends or family and trying to rent a place. If you need help connecting with some others who are interested in renting a place, please email us (ghcornwell@gmail.com).

Here are some good options. A lot of these WILL do weekend stays -- just call the realty company. Click on the link to see the property.

Registry and Other Updates

1. First, just some information on our registry.  We are registered at:

Macy's - click HERE.

Jonathan Adler - click HERE.

Williams-Sonoma - click HERE.

2. I am hoping to organize some kind of ride-sharing program from the Norfolk airport to Duck.  Hopefully I can set up a message board here where people can work out arrival times.  As I've mentioned before, it's about an hour and forty-five minutes from the airport to Duck (though I think you can make it in less time), and anyone driving the route from Washington, Richmond, Baltimore, New York, or Kentucky will go right by the terminal.  I'm sure some of you will have similar arrival/departure times and thus perhaps could share a ride or even have someone driving to Duck pick you up.  Would this require some coordination?  Yes.  Do I think we can pull it off?  I certainly do.

3. Just a reminder to email me -- ghcornwell@gmail.com -- with any and all questions about Duck, the Outer Banks, driving there, flying there, where to stay, how to eat a blue crab, or which Beatle I would most like to serenade Judy and I for our first dance.  

4. Stay tuned to this space for updates.  In the coming months I will have:

                       - guides for driving to the beach (where to stop, where to eat, etc)

                       - a guide to the Duck and the Outer Banks, with a special appearance from the                                  Outer Banks Insider himself, Craig T. Cornwell

                       - the history of the village of Duck
