Rented a beachfront house with 5 or six bedrooms for $1100 a couple of years back, took three families of friends with us and had the time of our lives.

Went there every year growing up. Don't miss the Elizabethan Gardens. A lot of people don't go there but it's a beautiful walk. It's the same turnoff as the Lost Colony. Back in 1987, they used to have actors that had set up camp in the same fashion the original 15 did. Completely in character, they wouldn't acknowledge any invention after the 1580s. Don't think they're there anymore but last I heard there are still actors on Elizabeth II, a sailable replica of the original ship. Also not completely historically accurate don't miss
The Lost Colony the play
NC history ping!!

Latecomers, eh?
To be FFV, your ancestors needed to have been in Virginia before 1650.

LOL, I traced my family back to the late 1600's only to discover my roots....
It which point I called my brother and started screaming...."Dear G-D, we are Yankees!"

"To be FFV, your ancestors needed to have been in Virginia before 1650." What's FFV?

I think it is First Families of Virginia.
I am not certain of the dates but I think some of my ancestors might quality. My GG?-Father, (forgot how many), G's was William Byrd of Westover. I think they may have come over before 1650.
