Thank you so much for the beautiful oak serving board! We can’t wait to use it during the many dinner parties you’ll be invited to this winter. Looking forward to celebrating with you at our wedding!

For a kitchen gift you received before your wedding

How did you know we were dreaming of those crystal champagne flutes?! They’re by far the most beautiful glasses in our home and we’ve never felt fancier. You’ll have to come over soon so we can toast to you! So excited to see you in June.

For drinkware you received before your wedding

We had a blast dancing the night away with you at our wedding. We also can’t thank you enough for the espresso maker. Our mornings have never been brighter! We can’t wait to see you in Austin next month… all caffeinated up!

For a coffee gift you received after your wedding

Where have you been hiding those killer dance moves? Thank you so much for rocking out at our wedding. And we absolutely love our new cast iron skillet and cookbook! We’re already cooking up a storm. Hope to see you soon in New York!

For cookware you received after your wedding

Thank you so much for the beer-brewing kit! We hope to be sipping backyard IPAs with you in no time. We missed you at the wedding, but know you were there in spirit. Can’t wait to see you when we’re back from our honeymoon!

Carly & Hunter

An Ocean Isle staple, both the Akins and Dean families have countless memories eating and drinking here. Fun fact-- Carly and her sister, Hallie, worked at Sharkys for two summers!

Sharky's Waterfront Bar & Grill

Another great restaurant and bar to relax and watch the boats go by!

Ocean Isle Fish Company

Our favorite spot to grab a coffee and shop around!

OIB Surf & Java

Conveniently located at the center of the Island

Drift Coffee Shop & Kitchen Ocean Isle Beach

If you have a car, spend the afternoon in Calabash where you'll find an abundance of shops and delicious fresh seafood! We love going to Oyster Rock for a cocktail on the water, Calabash Deli for a quick lunch, and Calabash Seafood Hut for the best fried shrimp & flounder

Calabash

There are plenty of courses to choose from around Ocean Isle, check some out on this website.
