The journey of Serendipity, the "Nights in Rodanthe" beach house, resumed pretty close to on schedule on Monday morning, July 18, and once the hulking building got rolling it took just 22 minutes to get it to its new space down Highway 12.
People lined the highway taking pictures, and some walked along with the famous house the whole 2,500 or so feet to its new lot. A helicopter circled overhead. "It was like a parade," said Jim Charlet, manager at Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station and Historic Site, who was one of the onlookers. Friday, January 15, 2010

The iconic beach house Serendipity has new owners and will soon be moved from its current location in Mirlo Beach in northern Rodanthe.
No longer will the house be the first cottage on Hatteras Island that travelers see as they head south on Highway 12. Nor will it have the sweeping vista of empty beaches to its north where it borders the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge. However, it will no longer be in imminent danger from high tides and punishing waves with each coastal storm. And it will no longer be the public nuisance that Dare County had declared it. Ben and Debbie Huss of Newton in western North Carolina closed their deal to buy the house on Monday, Jan. 4. And it could move a mile south on Highway 12 to its new home as early as next week. They paid the sellers, Michael and Susan Creasy of Campion, Pa., $275,000 for Serendipity, well below the $499,000 asking price - and also well below the $525,000 that the Creasys paid for the house in 2003.

On New Year's Eve, the Conner family capped off their year-long 50th anniversary celebration of their supermarket by hosting a block party in the store parking lot and drawing from 250 names to see which lucky customer would start the new decade one car richer.
Several hundred people showed up to eat John Conner's famous barbecue, visit with friends, and wait to find out who would take home the car. The festivities began at 11 a.m., and the drawing was done in reverse—the 250 names were placed in a bin and drawn out one by one over the course of the day. The last man standing, so to speak, would take home a brand new burgundy 2009 Chevy HRR. After narrowing it down to just two people, the whole Conner gang—all of Bernice and John Conner Sr.'s children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren—mounted the makeshift stage, and John Conner IV drew the last two names out of the bin.

Part of character of Hatteras Island residents is to step in and help when they see anyone in distress; that includes animals. It's not unusual to save hatchlings or more mature animals from a fate not entirely of their own doing.
On 12/23/09, Tommy Butler and his neighbor Bob, rescued a 200 pound turtle trapped in the sound behind Tommy and Leah's house. It took 4 men and a dolly to get him to the truck. He was in shock from the cold. The Park Service came and took him to Manteo.
