It is a very quiet and relaxing community. The locals are great people to chat with. Although the drive is a hour from obx there is practically no traffic until you reach obx. This place also offers so much between darts foosball and billiards table to keep my kids from saying their bored! Which is the best part in my opinion. Fishing the creek here was fun. Our family caught crab, flounder, spot fish, croaker, and shrimp, tons of minnows for bait and at the end 3 eels. Which offers great down time between trips to obx. I did find out that one of the foodlions in obx delivers out to engelhard but only found it out the night before we left. Just a disclaimer cell service can be spotty so keep that in mind. This trip was the first time in a very long time that I seen the word roaming and the 1st I've even seen roaming on my phone. Ethco stays open until 10pm so snacks, drinks and mini pizzas are a short walk away. If you stay here far creek sells really good breakfast sandwiches that arnt overly priced. If you plan on fishing with worm stock up before arriving as the closest place ive seen with them was Chris's grocery in swan quarter about 30 minutes away and they sell quite a few other good things there like select meats frozen foods and what not. I personally would stay here again!

Loved the old town feel that I knew as a kid, super friendly people. Feed house and Harris restaurants were very good!

A hunting trip of 7 friends and family. Early 20 to lower 70. Everything you could wish for in a place to stay. Crabing and fishing in the canal next to the house to pool and foose ball table in the house. Don't miss an opportunity to really have some super time of your group!!!

Great time
