They say I want to live by the beach,🏖️🌞 I want a oceanfront property,🌅 Me😏 Don't get upset when the ocean decides to visit at anytime to say hello...🌊🌊🌊🌊🏘️🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🚗
We have the same problem here at Dauphin Island , Alabama ! People continue building big houses on the beach and cry like hell when it storms !!! I have no remorse for them !
They moved that home a number of years ago to keep the same thing from happening to it. It now sits a good distance away from the ocean and is safe for the moment.
when most of those houses were built there was way more beach there, at one point there was at least one more house behind some of those that are now in the water and they still had a good walk to the water. 10 or more years ago it was a fine idea.. best part is one of the last houses in the video is named "front row seats"...
and why FEMA did a new flood zone overlay for our country. Places that have never had a flood are now in a flood zone in our North western PA area. High insurance premiums pay for the wealthy ocean front homes!!!
@@karlagreen6310 Most insurances will not cover an act of God, flood insurance in expensive. I know the people that live near me have to have it, by law. I live near the coast of Florida, fortunately I know what a flood zone is and did not buy in it. Every storm, I watch these people flood out and have to repair, I do not get it! Why do they not know sand is not a solid base?? The oceans rise and waves are very freaking strong, will pull that sand out. SMH These people take the cake though, on the other side of the sea wall??? Wow.
Putting a house on the beach anywhere on the East Coast to me is like building a house on the side of an active volcano. These are the people we all will see on the news saying they never thought a hurricane would sweep away their house, and oh yeah, "we will rebuild". I just don't see the wisdom here!
Exactly, those islands have been migrating for thousands of years. ocean storms blow sand from the beach on to the backside of the island building up the land mass on the sound side while losing land mass from the front side. The problem is that man has tried to interrupt the process and refuses to let the sand that tries to sweep across to the backside of the island reach each destination. Instead they try to scrape it all up and push it back on to the beach side of the island ostensibly to protect Hwy 12 but in large part to try and protect homes like this which make up an important part of the property tax revenue of the area. The bridge in the background at the end of the video is a major step away from that policy as the DOT is finally going to abandon the effort to save the S curves area of Hwy 12 and instead reroute traffic via the new "jug handle" sound side bridge. It's a plan that is well over due in my opinion and one that will end up getting repeated in other high risk areas in the future. If they learn to work with the process instead of trying to fight it the area can remain a viable tourist destination for a very long time.
My family and I stayed at the northern house at 1:00 a few weeks back. It was a beautiful stay. We did have some large waves and saw the beach erosion in action, however at the end of our stay a few hundred yards of sand was dropped off by a dump truck and spread around the base of the house and the surrounding beach which pretty much fully replenished it. I don't see these houses being here any longer than 5-10 years.
Near where I lived for 15 years. Every large storm took away beach and homes, most of the houses were summer places for the wealthy. And every year, our taxes paid for beach replenishment and protective barriers. The homes across the street eventually became beachfront properties.
I have a house in Frisco NC..I am one row back from the oceanfront homes..it's not as bad down here but we do get storm surge water from both the ocean and sound..I've seen these houses literally being washed into the ocean....I like my smaller home and I can see the ocean just fine..
I live in NC and have been to the OUter Banks. It is absolute craziness to build on a sandbar and expect anything other than what is happening. The folly of the rich is remarkable.
Looks like SpongeBob has got him some new vehicles to play with. I mean those vehicles got to go somewhere parking underneath the house the waves pulling vehicles out 😂
For those of you that have to have an ocean view, here are some fine homes for sale. No need for a backyard pool, the ocean is your new pool 🏊♀️. Hope you enjoy swimming.
We have vacationed just up the street from here a few years ago. Nice drive from North Myrtle Beach, SC. So peaceful here. I hate to see it washing away.
Yes it was Rodanthe Nights. It was a B&B. I lived on the OBX for 7 years & I am not ever totally myself until I drive 2 hours from Richmond, Va & I hear the ocean waves crashing. During times like now, tranquility & ocean air is treat B J ~!
Some folks bought that house from the movie before it got sucked into the ocean, and moved it west a few hundred yards away from the water. Looks great today, exactly as it did in the movie, and its available to rent for vacations.
Army Corps of engineers has probably rebuilt the beach 20 times in 20 years. Those houses were probably the last of the original beach front property. Ocean Isle beach N.C. was the same way..
I grew up on OBX, loved the area, but ..... Pop said 'boy get to high land, this isn't a place to plant roots when you get older, but remember even high land can sink.' I took his advise and move to the mainland, then the foot hills. Water is a mean and persistent adversary. Any one who decides to build on sand, remember the ocean will come to you one day...
Why they even allow houses to be built that close says nothing but Greed. I don’t feel for those who had to build their house right there. That should’ve never been built on in the first place. This is what causes land erosion, water levels rising etc. Greed & Ignorance is what it is.
This home was build years ago...and was far back from the ocean...which is engulfing too many places on the OBX especially the towns on Hatteras Island!
Morons who think wind, water, and sand won't eventually knock on their door. Doesn't matter if they've been there for a couple decades, eventually, they will lose.
Who builds a house next to the shoreline? Property value is $10,000 if that! That house will be gone into the ocean in the next 2-3 years. That is what happened in Washington State at Wash-away beach - the whole town got swallowed by the ocean.
It's ..........pretty awful actually, and a textbook case of how NOT to manage ocean front and island conservation. Move with the island or get your home wiped off the map eventually. Fight the process and you can end up making eventually come a lot sooner than later.
So crazy. The poor folks with a two bedroom house in Winston Salem with have to have their taxes increased to rebuild the roads and the duns for the rich beachfront home owners.
Sorry but that is NOT the way property taxes work in North Carolina and those roads don't just support rich property owners. There are a lot of people who work and live on those islands who will never be able to afford ocean front property there. Many of them have family roots that goes back not just decades but centuries. Almost all of them love the place they call home and couldn't imagine living anywhere else despite the risks and the hardships they endure. I know because I grew up there. I worked for barely more than minimum wage when I was living there during high school and most of my high school friends did too. None of their parents were rich beachfront property owners. Much of my family still lives there and I can assure you none of them are rich beachfront home owners either. My mom has had to fight and scrape and scrimp and save to keep her non beachfront home after her current husband had a heart attack and a stroke and was unable to keep working. Her income depends on people coming to the beach on vacation to enjoy the natural beauty and history of the region. My sister worked for years cleaning vacation homes like those every weekend so that another group of tourist could enjoy a great week of vacation. It paid her more than my high school job did but it's backbreaking work. She is fortunate enough to have just moved into a new home she and her husband built (nowhere near beachfront) in large part because people come from all over the east coast to enjoy the beaches of the Outer Banks. I really despise some of the local politics and politicians of the area and of North Carolina but this isn't just a case of poor people taxes supporting a few rich property owners.
Could any locals please answer a question about here for me?🙏 My 13-year-old son's uncle is driving my son & his young cousins to stay in an AirBnb near here in Waves, NC for a week starting Friday 3/26. Is there anything I should be concerned about (weather-wise or otherwise), or anything he should have with if they knew what locals do? This will be my son's 1st time even seeing the ocean. Any advice from locals is much appreciated. 🙏Thank you! ❤❤❤
Does this happen often? Just booked a vacation there for late May. First time in the area. Maybe should have done more research. Is this an anomaly or common occurrence?
I've seen these houses before, some on sale for great prices considering the location. Question: Are these houses located on land where the rule is, if it is totalled, you aren't allowed to rebuild? I've seen some odd rules in NC. B lots not getting FIMA insurance for instance, even though they are more protected than beach front homes that actually DO get FIMA assistance on insurance. Also, some homes not allowed to be rebuilt if they are ever consider a total loss. Just wondered if anyone here knows the rules regarding these homes that almost sit in the water. Epic locations but it seems some areas are very complex regarding home owner rights and insurance etc.
The Rodanthe house was bought out after the movie ended and they moved it to the back and now is facing the side of the road and not longer looks like those houses are facing the ocean. But still close enough if an hurricane hits the coast.
It wasn't that close when those were built, there was another row/road that have either long met their destiny or tens of thousands were spent and they were pulled elsewhere.
The government decided many years ago that flood insurance would be a good idea. That is why people build and rebuild on the water and in flood plains. It makes about as much sense as building an above-ground home in a tornado zone. I guess if you don't pay the bill it makes it easier to make bad choices.
Talk about a visual of a Biblical Truth here, for truly, only a "Fool" would build a house on sand - (Matthew 7:24-27) ...."Whosoever then heareth of ME these WORDS, and doeth the same, I will liken him to a wise man, which hath builded his house on a Rock: And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it Fell NOT: for it was grounded on a ROCK, but whosoever heareth these MY WORDS, and doeth them NOT, shall be likened unto a Foolish man, which hath builded his house upon the Sand: And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it Fell, and the Fall thereof was Great."
@@catmip yeah that's a normal thing. People are nuts thinking a Benz is a great car for this type vacation. Unless you stay around Kitty Hawk bring a real car 🤣
@@MrHand-ih4sz And somehow that answer is correct. According to the United Nations 300 million cows were slaughtered in 2016. That’s a whole lot of big ass farts of methane and that’s just what we ate and wasted in one year. Cow farts contributing to Climate Change sounds funny until you scale up. 🤔😏
In my opinion, at some point, the laws/rules should be tweaked. If you lose your existing home due to any act of mother nature on a barrier island, you cannot rebuild it. This is a nasty way of reclaiming and restoring it back to its original purpose....a barrier to the mainland. I'm sure contractors will viciously oppose this of course.
Horrible to watch this and know that these beautiful homes are on the verge of being swept out to sea. Does the county there not have regulations in place about how close to the ocean you can build? Sad.
Yet another example of "A wise man builds his home on a rock, only a fool would build his home in the sand." So true.
These aren’t homes, they’re vacation property that are insured to the teeth

Why would you build your mini mansion house on top of what is clearly an eroding sandbar? These people must've had the foresight of a goldfish.
Same in Australia 100 years big flooding along East Coast of NSW, why people live near Rivers same point as beach too.
Don't insult goldfish.
As the Bible says, a foolish man builds his house upon the sand and the rains keep tumbling down. In California beaches the waves keep tumbling down.

When you can truly say you have beachfront property.
Area sure has changed since 1972. Back then your neighbor was 1/2 mile or so away. And you had a good 1/4 mile of beach between you and the ocean.

And for a century or more they just move houses or rebuild. That's life on a barrier island!
Isn't there a parable about building your house on sand?
Wonder how long those houses have been there?
~20ish yrs.

I’ve seen people living with snakes, tigers, bears, but now they’re living in the ocean with sharks, fish and whales. What’s next?
They be a few less homes on our beach soon
Build on the other side of the road, soon it will be beach front.
We were there 2 weeks ago. The ocean looked like a blender. And wind was a steady 60mph. Not a fun week to be there.
I’m send prayers to you all from uk please stay safe 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Are these the houses on the beach in Corolla or is this on the Southern end?
Read the description. Rodanthe. In the middle.
@@catmip yeah that's a normal thing. People are nuts thinking a Benz is a great car for this type vacation. Unless you stay around Kitty Hawk bring a real car 🤣
Southern end, not near Corolla.
do the owners still get government assistance?
hmm what did this happen from?
Cow farts.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
@@MrHand-ih4sz And somehow that answer is correct. According to the United Nations 300 million cows were slaughtered in 2016. That’s a whole lot of big ass farts of methane and that’s just what we ate and wasted in one year. Cow farts contributing to Climate Change sounds funny until you scale up. 🤔😏
@@AngryManSki And just think methane coming out of the ground and ocean floors are more than cows.
In my opinion, at some point, the laws/rules should be tweaked. If you lose your existing home due to any act of mother nature on a barrier island, you cannot rebuild it. This is a nasty way of reclaiming and restoring it back to its original purpose....a barrier to the mainland. I'm sure contractors will viciously oppose this of course.
Horrible to watch this and know that these beautiful homes are on the verge of being swept out to sea. Does the county there not have regulations in place about how close to the ocean you can build? Sad.
Nobody told you to build your house in the ocean
I hope the ocean takes them
Piss off karma on your own self, Well ok.
