Carova 4x4 delivery service on the OBX!

Lots of vacationers do not know that OAR offers delivery service to the Northern Outer Banks of NC.  We deliver gas grills, ocean kayaks, and lots of baby cribs up to the beach houses located near Carova and Penny's Hill.

Even our wedding division OAER delivers up there, all the way to the state line!  The northern beaches are such a great place to create a unique wedding atmosphere, blended beautifully with nature.  We often see the wild horses as we deliver through the dunes wedding items like white chairs, tables and linen, as well as bamboo arches.

Here is a quick video of one of our deliveries-gone-wrong.  One truck was stuck in the loose sand near "the Dream" beach house.  After a few minutes, another OAR truck came and got the delivery back on track.  It's always an adventure up the beach!

Avon Surf Movie Night

We had a great opportunity to enjoy a well put together Surf Movie Night at the Avon Fire House. Creators Jamie and Tatum were able to raise a couple hundred dollars, while bringing the community together. Awesome night visiting our brethren down south. Thanks again for the good times.

Loving this fall weather!

It's hard to believe that the clocks are getting ready to turn back this weekend and it's still 60 degrees outside.  We've bounced back from Irene and have had a great fall!  We have changed our hours for the off season and are now open from 9-5 Monday through Saturday and 12-5 on Sunday.

Stop by any of our four locations and enjoy this great fair fall weather while it lasts!
