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!

Bottom Line: Large store full of locally made arts and crafts with some vintage items and other…read moregood finds sprinkled throughout. 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.

Wonderful Staff & Exemplary Service…read more I often visit close friends in Duck and am a frequent shopper at Allie June's boutique. Every one of my experiences has been terrific and I always look forward to going there. In early July I purchased a purse from Allie June, which I loved and used a lot--unfortunately, the handle broke unexpectedly. I called Allie June and left a message. She got back to me within 24 hours to let me know she had ordered a replacement, which I picked up this weekend during my visit to the Outer Banks over Labor Day weekend. Allie made a point to give me the bag personally and thank me for my patience in waiting for a new bag. Her excellent selection and responsive customer service is why I love shopping there and encourage anyone visiting The Waterfront Shops in Duck to stop in as well. Thank you, Allie June!

[Ice cream store portion review] Overall: Amazing-tasting…read moreice cream, but it comes at a price. The good: The ice cream was incredibly indulgent and delicious - creamy with heavy portions of caramel and chocolate chunks (I can't remember the exact flavor we got, but it was delicious). Somehow it seemed to melt faster than other ice cream haha. The service was friendly and they have a decent selection of flavors to choose from. The not-so-good: While delicious, it's a bit pricey. Even for a single scoop you have to pay a pretty penny. And, no tastings during COVID (not sure why I get it, if you're cleaning or throwing away tasting spoons).

This is a nice size store with reasonably priced jewelry, art, photos, crafts and knick knacks. I came away with a cute pair of earrings and a photo taken by a local artist as well as some small chimes to give as gifts.

This is definitely worth a stop if you want to browse for something other than the typical touristy destinations. Friendly service too!

I always love coming into this gallery when I have the opportunity to visit Duck not only to browse the many unique items they carry, but also for the friendly service and because those soaps make the shop smell so good!
