OCEANFRONT Avon – Ocean Isle Loop – Who doesn’t hear “Walking on Sunshine” — that 80’s homage to happiness —without feeling the same? This same-named 5,638 sq. ft. eight-bedroom/seven-full and three-half-bath home will not only surround you in sun-splashed contentment, but it will also have you reaching for the stars that seem to be in grasp from a shining nighttime sky. Simply find your spot on one of WALKIN’ ON SUNSHINE’S multiple oceanfront decks and experience all of the above.

The beach accessible by a convenient boardwalk may immediately beckon, but so will the private pool and hot tub that occupy a prime oceanfront space. Sink into a poolside chair with a good book or practice your short game on the putting green. Quench your thirst with a cold drink from the tiki bar; cool and rinse off with the convenience of two outdoor showers. Just inside, a recreation room offers a kitchenette with a full refrigerator and microwave, a pool table, enormous Intelligent TV and a half-bath. There are two bedrooms on this level that share a full hallway bath, each featuring a pyramid bunk, pull-out single and Intelligent TVs — ideal for the kids. You will also find laundry facilities on the ground level and an elevator to move between all four floors with ease.

Four more bedrooms occupy the second level, all with ensuite baths, Intelligent TVs and private deck access to savor either sunrise or sunset vistas. Three of these bedrooms are king masters and one provides two single beds. This level also features a home office that accepts you to work or read in a peaceful space with an inspired view from an oceanfront deck. Between the second and third level is another half-bath. On level three you will discover the last two bedrooms, both ensuite king masters offering extravagant baths with double showers, two sinks and a hottub; Intelligent TVs and private deck access with oceanfront vistas. An elegantly appointed media room provides a sizable Intelligent TV and comfortable seating to settle in with your favorite games and shows.

The fourth and final level is where WALKIN’ ON SUNSHINE really embraces the simple enjoyment of bringing family, friends, and food together. From the airy top floor great room, sweeping vistas of the horizon remind you how limitless these moments can be. Cooking for a crowd is simple in the chef’s kitchen, where dual ovens and ranges, two dishwashers, microwaves, fridges, and an ice maker make planning and creating your family’s meals a delight. There’s a granite countertop that seats five and a 12-person dining table with full view of the dunes and ocean beyond. Take your morning coffee into the colorful sunroom to jumpstart your day. In the evening, settle into the great room’s ample seating where a huge Intelligent TV will grab your attention unless the vistas from the furnished oceanfront deck win out. Feel the breeze, listen to the waves and soak in the satisfaction. Take the next step and book WALKIN’ ON SUNSHINE today.

Jimmy's Seafood Buffet

Home of the Crab Leg & Lobster Buffet for 25! years! Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet is a great stop for an all you can eat affordable dinner extravaganza. The buffet offers over 100 different items. It even serves Jumbo Alaskan crab legs and Jumbo steamed shrimp, something you will not find on any other buffet in the OBX. The buffet offers a variety of seafood and non seafood options. Try some of Jimmy’s seafood options and load your plate with blackened tuna, Louisiana crawfish, steamed scallops and mussels, fried oysters and deviled crabs. Not in the mood for seafood? Fill your plate with steak, pineapple glazed ham, fried chicken, BBQ ribs, and fettuccini Alfredo to name a few. The buffet also offers a kid section. Let your kids load their plates with chicken tenders, mac and cheese, and corn dog nuggets. Don’t forget dessert! The buffet also offers soft serve ice cream and a plethora of baked goods. 

 

It’s been 25 years since Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet opened its doors for the first time. Since that inaugural summer, the goal has remained the same: provide customers with a tasty, fresh array of seafood full of Caribbean flavor.

 

Elizabeth Dowless and her husband Jerry had always worked in restaurants in the Outer Banks, so when the opportunity to open Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet with a couple of friends arose, it was an easy yes. The Dowlesses bought out the business in 2003, excited to turn Jimmy’s into an Outer Banks staple. When Jerry passed away later that year, Dowless knew she wanted to continue pursuing their dream on her own.

 

Dowless went all in on the concept of a fresh, flavorful seafood buffet and her hard work paid off. Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet is a beloved fixture of Outer Banks dining, with customers returning year after year for the fresh fare.

 

“Customers keep in contact with me throughout the winter. I get people every day asking me when we’re opening for the season, and customers book their vacations around our opening,” Dowless says. “I absolutely love getting to see familiar faces come back to see us each year. I love seeing them lose their minds over the buffet! Their excitement is what I love most about my job.”
