This review is from: Insiders' Guide to North Carolina's Outer Banks, 28th (Insiders' Guide Series) (Paperback)

Went to the Outer Banks recently, and bought this book and took it with us. The book turned out to be indispensable for our three-family vacation...from fishing to creating stain-glass mosaics, this guide has a description of it all!

Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Vacationing in the Outer Banks, October 25, 2007

By	A. Donnermeyer "flip-flop,book queen" (Crestview, KY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Insiders' Guide to North Carolina's Outer Banks, 28th (Insiders' Guide Series) (Paperback)

When I bought this book I was not sure if it would really be helpfully for us and our first trip to the Outer Banks. It was great! We used it everyday. Before we went somewhere we looked at it as reference. It helped us eat everyday in the Outer Banks plus do a little shopping. I am glad I bought it now, it helped us have one of the best vacations we ever had. I can't wait for the next edition because I think we are going back again and again to the Outer Banks and a updated version will help us prepare for any changes since our last visit.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a travel guide should be, August 5, 2007

By	Mark Olwick "Research-aholic" (Burlington, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Insiders' Guide to North Carolina's Outer Banks, 28th (Insiders' Guide Series) (Paperback)

This book is fantastic! It gives a very detailed description about everything you'd need for a wonderful trip to the Outer Banks.

I especially like the way it's laid out, with each section going "north to south". For example, the restaurants section starts at the north end of the islands and works its way down to the very south. Same with accommodations, etc.

It also definitely gives you a "feel" for the place - telling the type of vibe each community has and what the general demographics are.

Highly recommended!
