The Outer Banks are so incredible….been visiting all of my life. The Black Pearl looks like it has been a perfect beach house. No doubt many beautiful memories for a lot of people. 🏖️
The house "Sandcastle by the Dawn" at the end of this video.... was moved back from the ocean about 120 feet. There is a video of it here on TH-cam... pretty interesting.
That house, fka "Serendipity", now called "The Inn at Rodanthe" to match the movie, was the last house on the end back when I visited OBX in the spring of 2009. Back then it was considered not safe kind of like the Black Pearl is now. Serendipity was purchased by a couple that were big Knights in Rodanthe fans. It moved in 2010 to a lot about 1/2 mile down the road and was remodeled to look more like the scenes in the movie. It has recently been put on the market and is currently listed for 1.15 million.
Well, they wanted beachfront property, now they have it, subsidized by the US tax payer. Too bad we couldn't have left the barrier islands in their natural state.
My family stayed in this house July of 2022. It was an amazing experience. This really saddens me to see this!

Absolutely! Hope it keeps standing strong!

What do you mean by that?

pretty interesting.
These properties close to the ocean are definitely interesting/fascinating!
That was interesting. Thank you
I seriously doubt the Black Pearl is insured. She's been under known threat for so long, any sane insurer would have canceled the policy long ago.
Nature in the raw is seldom mild.
It doesn’t matter what it cost, it needs to be taken off the beach. The ocean doesn’t need more garbage.
It’s a shame but Mother Nature will claim it one day!
Very possible but hope not.
Was that where the setting was for the movie "Nights in Rodanthe"?
No, that's down the road a piece from this house.

Sad
A fool and their money

Virginia never allowed development on the Eastern Shore barrier islands.
