Overview

Looking for a quiet refuge from the daily grind? Lose yourself in the easygoing yet refined ambience of Serenity, a tranquil home that puts your comfort first. Curl up in the ship's watch to enjoy the panorama of ocean and dunes, including an unobstructed view of the Wright Brothers Monument, or perhaps enjoy a little quiet contemplation of the sea from your private oceanfront dune top gazebo, lulled by the sound of the waves. With the ocean at your doorstep, there are endless opportunities to fly a kite, try your hand at stand up paddle-boarding, or splash in the waves. Experience the thoughtfully landscaped pool area, just over the dunes from the crashing tide of the Atlantic, where you can relax in the lounge chairs under the summer sun. Soak in the hot tub as you enjoy outdoor tunes, provided by auxiliary speakers on the deck and pool area. Music and movies are available inside as well, with two Netflix-capable Blu-ray players and a rec room with large-screen TV with surround sound. An all-in-one computer is also available for guest use. The open floor plan of the sun-kissed great room is a wonderful place to gather and enjoy a group meal. Finally, this home's central location means the shops, sights and eateries of Kill Devil Hills await your pleasure, once you've achieved Serenity.

Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar

Welcome to the home of the happy oyster where for over 40 years the oyster has been our world. The Outer Banks only authentic oyster bar is the place to enjoy sensational fare from the sea washed down with your favorite brew or cocktail. We serve by the peck, pound, and dozen, raw or steamed to perfection. Kicked back casual, down to earth friendly staff, and reasonable prices make Awful Arthur’s Oyster Bar the all-time favorite of locals and travelers alike.

The idea wasn’t to set out and establish a new concept restaurant on the Outer Banks, but that’s exactly what Awful Arthur’s owner Jo Whitehead and her late husband, Jay, accomplished more than 35 years ago when they opened the area’s first authentic oyster bar.

 

Awful Arthur’s opened in May 1984 on the Outer Banks. “We embraced the concept of an authentic copper top bar with the idea of it being a major drawing card and it still is,” explains Whitehead. “I get oysters wherever they are local. We follow the warm waters.” 

 

Just across from the ocean, in Kill Devil Hills, oyster season is year-round at Awful Arthur’s. Diners can take a seat at the copper-topped bar to observe the staff shucking oysters, served raw or steamed, along with shrimp, crab legs and clams all steamed to perfection. 

 

It’s not just the raw bar that’s earned Awful Arthur’s both local and national recognition, including being named one of America’s greatest oyster bars by Coastal Living magazine. The restaurant is a seafood-lover’s paradise, offering the freshest catches available.
