Best little spot in OBX
This was a absolutely perfect spot in OBX.... We have never been to Nags Head and def will be back again next year! The only thing was we didn't realize they didn't bring you more coffee and towels..We walked to 7- 11 store for coffee...so we went to office next day to get supplies and the office manager was very nice and accommodating! I would of like better chairs but it was still nice to sit there in the morning and drink our coffee..
