About this Property

  • 4 Bedrooms

When it comes to outstanding vacation homes, Always My Darling is always in style, with enough amenities to accommodate every member of the family, from the beach lovers to the gourmands.

Begin each morning with the perfect cup of coffee while watching a magnificent sunrise over the ocean. The house features all the equipment you'll need to wake up smiling, including a Gaggia Brera Superautomatic Espresso Station, an espresso bar, and a Keurig K Cup coffee maker.

When the family is ready to hit the beach, you'll find plenty of gear at your fingertips, including a surfboard, a boogie board, a skim board, and an air compressor for inflatable toys. For a little fun off the sand, there's a private pool with an outdoor stereo system, a horseshoe pit, a relaxing hot tub, and even a private miniature golf course. Bicycles are also provided for your convenience.

Fun ensues in the game room with a 60-inch plasma TV, surround sound, a pool table, and a wet bar with a 50-pound-per-day ice maker. Additional amenities include a Netflix account and two Xbox 360 Kinects. As the day winds down, enjoy a cocktail and a breathtaking sunset over the sound from any of the three-tiered, furnished sundecks with unparalleled, panoramic water views.

At mealtime, the kitchen's amenities include a dual-temp wine refrigerator, a Kitchenaid mixer, a bread maker, a waffle maker, a rice steamer, a slow cooker, an espresso bar, and, most important, a Margaritaville drink maker. An oven with fast-heat for quick boiling can help hungry cooks whip up meals in a hurry, and everyone will have ample elbow room in the sunny dining area. The great room features a gas log fireplace, a 51-inch plasma TV equipped with a Bluetooth-ready soundbar, and a Celestron Astromaster 114-mm telescope for stargazing in the evenings.

When it's time to retire, you'll be delighted to find that all four bedrooms feature cable TV and Blu-ray/DVD players, as well as comfortable accommodations that are perfect for sweet beach dreams.

Ben Franklin

Stop by Nags Head's Ben Franklin at Mile Post 10 on the Bypass where you will find everything you need for the beach! From Clothing, T-shirts and Swimwear to Boards, Chairs, Umbrellas and Tackle. You'll find it all…and of course, we have the best selection of Souvenirs anywhere on the Outer Banks. Enjoy your vacation! Independently owned by a member of one of the Outer Banks’ oldest families, the Ben Franklin store is stocked with just about everything a visitor would need to go to the beach.

 

Ben Franklin stores were once part of a five-and-dime retail empire, with about 2,500 locations across the country in its heyday. As decades passed and the times and customers began to change, many closed their doors, leading to fewer than 150 of these nostalgic shops. Nags Head Ben Franklin, however, has withstood the test of time and adapted to the needs of its customers to provide a memorable shopping experience on the Outer Banks.

 

Debbie Terry Tolson, manager of the Ben Franklin location in Nags Head, recalls working with former owner Tommie Daniels. Daniels’ father, Moncie Daniels, started the business in downtown Manteo in the early 1900s. The Daniels family has been a longstanding fixture in the Outer Banks business community—Moncie even sold gas to the Wright brothers in 1903.

 

Tommie, with an excellent business mind, saw the opportunity the new Bypass presented and, in 1977, he opened the Nags Head location of Ben Franklin. He was one of the first businesses on the Bypass,” Tolson says.In addition to a new location, the Ben Franklin store saw a new group of customers.

 

“People would come from all around because Tommie had a little bit of everything—it was more like a five and 10 then,” Tolson explains. “As he went to the beach, he began to get more tourists, so he started catering more and more to visitors.”

 

Today, the 21,000-square-foot souvenir shop quickly catches the attention of anyone driving by thanks to the ocean-themed mural that decorates the façade of the building, painted by local artist Rob Snyder. This Ben Franklin location has become the must-stop shop for both first-time visitors to the area and generations of families who escape to the Outer Banks annually.

 

Tolson credits the great prices and friendly customer service to the success of the location, which keeps families returning.“People come in all the time and tell me, ‘my grandmother or my grandfather used to bring me here and now I’m bringing my children,’” she shares. “One of my favorite parts about working here is seeing the people come back year after year.”
