CANALFRONT Avon — Barracuda Ct. — New for 2025! — Water enthusiasts rejoice! ROBERT’S DIVERSION is your diversion to countless days of fishing, boating, and watersports. With simple access to the Pamlico Sound from a private dock and boat ramp, plus endless vistas of the best sunsets the Outer Banks has to offer, this three-bedroom/two- and one-half-bath home is all you need to inspire your Hatteras Island vacation dreams.

Located at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, your vacation begins by pulling into the covered carport and imagining the thrill of returning from a day on the water. The lighted fish cleaning table is a welcome convenience to prepare your catch for the evening’s dinner and an outdoor shower promises a invigorating end to your active day.

On the first level you’ll discover all the home’s bedrooms: a king master with private bath, a second king room, and a room with a double bed and bunkbed. All of the bedrooms are equipped with Intelligent TVs, and a wrap-around covered deck offers prime viewing for the spectacular sunsets that paint the sky at the end of each day.

On the second level, wrapped in rustic wood and opened by soaring ceilings, the great room creates a space to relax and relax. As you savor your morning coffee at the breakfast bar, let your mind wander through the day's appealing possibilities. Perhaps start planning for dinner later on; a well-equipped kitchen is ready with all of the essentials you need to prepare the family favorites. Appreciate good food and great company around the eight-seat dining table, then relax in the inviting great room by streaming movie marathons on the Intelligent TV. Better still, catch the evening sky’s show from the adjacent deck where nightly sunsets will leave a memorable imprint. Savor them from a captain’s chair, or as you ease into the calming waters of the six-person hot tub.

While ROBERT’S DIVERSION may feel like you are worlds away, the village of Avon and all its amenities — including a grocery store, stores, and eateries — is conveniently close by. Don’t get sidetracked ... book ROBERT’S DIVERSION today.

Jimmy's Seafood Buffet

Home of the Crab Leg & Lobster Buffet for 26! years! Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet is a great stop for an all you can eat affordable dinner extravaganza. The buffet offers over 100 different items. It even serves Jumbo Alaskan crab legs and Jumbo steamed shrimp, something you will not find on any other buffet in the OBX. The buffet offers a variety of seafood and non seafood options. Try some of Jimmy’s seafood options and load your plate with blackened tuna, Louisiana crawfish, steamed scallops and mussels, fried oysters and deviled crabs. Not in the mood for seafood? Fill your plate with steak, pineapple glazed ham, fried chicken, BBQ ribs, and fettuccini Alfredo to name a few. The buffet also offers a kid section. Let your kids load their plates with chicken tenders, mac and cheese, and corn dog nuggets. Don’t forget dessert! The buffet also offers soft serve ice cream and a plethora of baked goods. 

 

It’s been 25 years since Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet opened its doors for the first time. Since that inaugural summer, the goal has remained the same: provide customers with a tasty, fresh array of seafood full of Caribbean flavor.

 

Elizabeth Dowless and her husband Jerry had always worked in restaurants in the Outer Banks, so when the opportunity to open Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet with a couple of friends arose, it was an easy yes. The Dowlesses bought out the business in 2003, excited to turn Jimmy’s into an Outer Banks staple. When Jerry passed away later that year, Dowless knew she wanted to continue pursuing their dream on her own.

 

Dowless went all in on the concept of a fresh, flavorful seafood buffet and her hard work paid off. Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet is a beloved fixture of Outer Banks dining, with customers returning year after year for the fresh fare.

 

“Customers keep in contact with me throughout the winter. I get people every day asking me when we’re opening for the season, and customers book their vacations around our opening,” Dowless says. “I absolutely love getting to see familiar faces come back to see us each year. I love seeing them lose their minds over the buffet! Their excitement is what I love most about my job.”
