SEMI-SOUNDFRONT Salvo — Wind Over Waves — With the grace of a mermaid and the heart of a lion, MERLION HAVEN pulls off the ideal balance as a sanctuary of calm and a base for energetic pursuits. Located in an fresh community of opulent homes that share a 100’ pier and boat ramp on Pamlico Sound, this six-bedroom/seven-full and one-half bath home is walkable to the ocean beach. The sound and its draw for kiteboarders and windsurfers is effortlessly within reach, too. This is a place where minds soar and life flourishes.

Choosing which body of water to spend your days must include the private pool, surrounded by a picnic table and plenty of new chaise lounges. Work up a sweat shooting hoops at the basketball goal then cool off in the outdoor shower before ratcheting up the competition in the ground level game room. Shoot pool for a while, then wind down with a snack and drink you’ve fixed in the wet bar before watching the Intelligent TV in the den area. There’s also a full bath and laundry facilities on this level.

Five of the home’s bedrooms occupy the first level. Three of the bedrooms are ensuite queens, two of which have access to the deck. There’s also an ensuite king, along with a bunk room with access to the deck and a full bathroom in the hallway. The final bedroom, an ensuite king, is located on the second level and has direct access to a 4-person hot tub and upper deck. All of the bedrooms feature TVs and new décor.

Entertain your grandiose plans for making family memories — or entertaining visiting friends — in the very roomy great room, located on the top level. There’s a well-equipped kitchen that can effortlessly accommodate more than one prepare at mealtime. Gather around the eat-at kitchen counter that seats four, outside at the picnic table, or the 10-seat dining table that brings everybody together for leisurely meals and laughter. As the evening winds down, retire to the comfortable sectional to catch up on your favorite shows on the enormous flat-screen Intelligent TV or onto the deck for vistas of the sound that never fail to make a memorable impression. You can impress, too, by booking MERLION HAVEN for a vacation your family will always remember.

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.”
