Gaddy Shack is a charming cedar shake beach house that perfectly blends classic Nags Head style with modern comfort. Inside, the open-concept top-level offers plenty of room to gather, with a beautifully updated kitchen featuring all stainless steel appliances, multiple ovens, and dishwashers—ideal for cooking up big family meals. The spacious living area extends to wraparound decks, where you can take in the ocean breeze and enjoy views of the sunrise over the Atlantic.

Outside, Gaddy Shack offers even more relaxation. The backyard pool, naturally shaded by aged live oaks, is perfect for cooling off on warm afternoons. After a day at the beach, just 500 feet away, you can unwind in the hot tub while listening to the coastal winds rustle through the trees. The home is tucked in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood, offering a peaceful retreat while still being close to all the action.

Belinda Pleva grew up serving ice cream out of her parent’s shop. She loved being part of what she calls “a happy business.” “I love it when people come into the shop and you hand them something, and it makes them smile,” Pleva says. “That moment when you hand an ice cream cone over to a little kid and their eyes just light up. That’s what I love about the ice cream business.”

In 1994, Pleva opened up her own ice cream and chocolate shop, Big Buck’s Ice Cream, in the brand-new Timbuk II Shopping Center in Corolla. Business was good, but something was missing.

“I was never satisfied with the ingredients in the ice creams and chocolates you could purchase back then. I wanted to serve my customers delicious flavors with ingredients they could actually pronounce,” Pleva says.

Pleva took a trip to Italy to study the gelaterias. She fell in love with the incredible flavors, and when she returned home to the Outer Banks, she began working tirelessly to perfect the flavors in her own ice cream.

Big Buck’s homemade ice cream combined the flavors of the Italian gelaterias and the richness of American ice cream. It quickly became a tourist favorite. After having the same unsatisfactory experience with the readymade chocolates she was selling, she also took a trip to Brussels to learn more about making handmade chocolates. Pleva brought the chocolate-making experience right back with her, and the result was the finest quality of chocolates on the Outer Banks.

After her huge success in the Corolla shop, Pleva was able to open up three more shops—one in Kitty Hawk, one in Manteo and one in Duck.
