Where else have you lived?
we just sold our primary residence in Richmond Va and spent the summer at our beach house in a 4x4 area on the obx. you can only get to the house by driving on the beach (4 wheel drive car and low tide work best :) or by boat. We have been coming here since 1998 and vacationing but it is definitely different LIVING here. Carova beach NC, google it! anyway, always up for adventure and with all the hurricanes it certainly has been.
