The exterior of the building is nicely maintained and upon walking in the store I was totally mesmerized at all of the stuff to look at. They have tons of yard flags and other cute little knock knacks to stick in the garden. They also carry a variety of OBX souvenirs, Christmas ornaments and other knick knacks. The store has almost a rural, southern, country side general store feeling to it. They have some cute displays and the staff is very friendly.

Now guys store number two located at door number 2 is for the guys. What I mean by this it's a SPORTS SHOP WITH EVERY TEAM! Yeaaa I had to go caps cause it was a paradise for the sport fanatic out there, from college to the majors ! One bad thing that I was not happy to see was Dallas Cowboys paraphernalia located next to my Eagles gear, and the stinkin Mets near the Phightins (that's Phillies for those who don't know) When I mean everything , I mean EVERYTHING from Nascar fanatics, to "Bling" for your vehicle representing your team. For the fathers to be this is your shot to get your little girl or boy their first bib with the your team. Football gnomes, decals.. I can go on and on. I didn't want to leave, because every isle I went down I stopped and said "NO SH*T" they have this, or WOW I need to get that.. A man cave turned into a store for you to splurge. Great stuff, the mans personal fan zone! Ohh and did I say EVERYTHING related to sports! yea I did. I will be coming back here again when come back down to OBX for our next vacation. Go in and and become a kid again, you will thank me.

BUT, if you need a quality hoodie because the temps just dropped without warning, a canvas tote bag for the beach because you left your boat bag at home, a swimsuit because your strap just snapped, or a gazillion souvenirs to take back to your houses inter, etc. - this is your go-to. The prices are mostly fair, and you can go high or low, depending on your situation. And yes, everyone hates that hermit crabs are kept in filthy tanks for clueless tourists to buy - many of which are no longer even alive. It's cruel and grotesque in this day and age. So here's hoping the evil overlords will see the numerous complaints and stop torturing defenceless hermit crabs.

Eric and Robert are so fun and friendly, very no-BS guys who tell it to you straight. They made the class super fun and we were always laughing. Given the time of year, there were only 3 of us in class so it was nearly 1-on-1 instruction. I learned so much! I came back the next day to pick up my mirror and was stunned at how beautiful it came out! Y'all got me into a new hobby! Thank you for such an awesome class!

I stumbled upon Absolutely Outer Banks a handful of years ago and I was impressed with the selection of locally made arts and crafts. Ever since, this is my go to spot for legitimate and tasteful Outer Banks souvenirs. In addition to locally made items they also have some vintage items and even some new items for sale. One item that this store specializes in is really cool resin windows that are unique and exude happiness. Absolutely Outer Banks has artwork in all mediums and in all price points. They have jewelry, wood signs, candles, prints, glass work, textiles, metal work, etc.  On my most recent visit I enjoyed looking at a vintage pin ball machine and eyeing up the beautiful array of Fiestaware. There is plenty of opportunity for ooohhhing and ahhhing.  The owner is super friendly so that adds to the overall great experience. Absolutely Outer Banks is centrally located in Kitty Hawk in the former spot of a bank.

At least a hundred hermit crabs in one small cage with no substrate, something they need to properly live. Overcrowded so badly they couldn't even move with the smallest and dirtiest water bowl. For those who don't know, the sale of hermit crabs is incredibly inhumane to begin with but these conditions were heartbreaking. These animals are meant to live 30 years in the wild, but they will die within weeks or months in these conditions. Do not support this business or the sale of hermit crabs, they are not as easy to take care of as these stores want you to think. If the treatment of the crabs wasn't enough to turn you off of this store, then at least listen that the merchandise was crappy and the store dirty.

Went to counter with 4 shirts plus other items, paid & realized as walking away from counter that a shirt wasn't removed for sale. Cashier got manager, Julija (I assume... since that's the name on my refund receipt), she tells me there's a sign that has a price on it... we walk together to the shirts & there is a sign w/ the price but NO WHERE on the sign/shelves does it say they are not included in the sale. I tell her I want to return 2 shirts then, she tells me store credit. I literally, took 2 steps from counter & that i'm not accepting store credit. She reluctantly gave me a refund & mumbles "next time you should read the signs"... I tell her "next time your signs need to be clear". Never again, will I spend money at a Sunsations! If manager isn't Julija... it's whatever manager was working June 25th. Such a jerk!

Jake handled it like a pro and gave us the benefit of the doubt and let us return the shorts so, I ended up spending $200 more, because he was so gracious to us.
