As an architect I can certainly appreciate your concerns and comments regarding the house and to see all the utilities, pump tank, etc as well as the exposure of the pilings makes me wonder if this is already gone. The OBX is always changing and shoreline property development is something that I have mixed feelings about. We (in general) love to be where the view is but we often ruin it by poorly-planned development. Sort of a "Here comes the neighborhood" moment but Mother Nature takes it right back at times!
Its not always Mother Nature( as you probably know), people changing the shape of the coast line with retaining walls really has a negative effect, like on the North Shore of Hawaii( Kawailoa), my Aunt's home will most likely be in the ocean in less than 15 yrs( built there in the 1920's).😔
Not sure if someone already posted this but here is what I copied from the rental website: “*PLEASE NOTE: Due to beach erosion the Black Pearl is currently not vacationable. The property owner is seeking to have the home moved to a safe location nearby, however, at this stage there are no guarantees that it will be ready for the 2023 season.”
been going to OBX since 1984, unreal the changes (some good, some not so much) in the area. For my money...the closest to heaven I'll get while still breathing. Love the videos!
My family just stayed at the Pearl this past August (2022). We'd wanted to for years and finally decided we'd better grab it while it still stood! Was an incredible week! Beautifully furnished inside - was surprised how nice given that it was obviously on borrowed time. Feel so blessed to have had the experience! Will be forever grateful to the owners for keeping up and sharing this amazing place!
Im Sure in August the stairs were still intact. Would be an insurance nightmare to rent out a house that's susceptible to be swallowed by the sea while the tenants sleep...Also I would hire that plumber!
I used to clean houses in Rodanthe, Salvo, and Waves for a realty company. It's amazing to see how the beach has changed over the years. I knew some local people in Kitty Hawk who's grandparents grew up on the Outer Banks. They said that it used to take an hour to walk from Jockey's Ridge to the ocean. I think all the Outer Banks will be gone one day.
My family and I stayed there May 2022 and had a wonderful week! The only issue we had was the air froze up downstairs where the bedrooms were and the last day it got up to 76°. It was hard to get in the driveway w our 4 wheel drive but we were able to. We are so sad to see whats happening and feel so grateful for the time we got to spend there!!!!
So happy to hear you & your family had a wonderful week at the Black Pearl this year! Our family spent a week in August and had a great time! Comfy and wonderfully furnished home. Absolutely magical on the deck at night. Yes, parking we used 4 low but management was clear letting us know parking could be a challenge. I, too, am so grateful for the wonderful time and memories made during our stay at the Black Pearl.
We stayed in that house one time years ago on a surf trip!! It’s been going under for a while lol we stay down in Hatteras Island now south of Frisco but well never forget the ole black pearl!!
The OBX of NC are truly amazing. This time of year you are truly alone. If you only know of hotel lined beaches and attractions...you should make this area a bucket list trip.
To many people live there year round. Not like I remember it in the 70s. I live 80 miles from there. And never go anymore because of the crime rate has sky rocketed
This is why I like the Florida panhandle. Nice clear, calm waters that you can actually swim in and see what's in the water with you! If I'm paying for a beach vacation, I want to be able to go in the water and not get knocked on my butt. Always got creeped out trying to swim in the dark waters at OBX. Not my thing.
The OBX is forever changing. Inlets open, inlets close. I've been going there for almost 50 years and found it to be a continual work in progress. Many places we have stayed in have been totally destroyed by Mother Nature, some quickly in hurricanes, others slowly by the ever changing tides. Hatteras Lighthouse had to be moved to prevent it's destruction. Large dredges operate in many places to keep inlets open and closed. Route 12 is a changing element also. After all these years, I have come to find part of the beauty of the OBX is it's ever changing abilities!
So True- We are year-round residents of the SOBX here in Atlantic Beach, not too very far from where Route 12 ends Thankfully, the barrier island we live on has a much wider beach & the main beach road is not close to the Beach, so very few problems with storms here, but we always keep the Northern end of the OBX in our prayers - especially around the Rodanthe area 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Such a beautiful place. Over 23 years we've seen this beach recede over 100 yrds. Such is the case up and down Hatteras island. A Sand Bar always in motion. The result is inevitable. It's been very sad watching this row of homes disappear. A few were relocated. Lone-piling remnants in the surf and sand show all that's left of the past .
According to current Google maps, there were 4 houses (address numbers still exist) in between the existing others and the Black Pearl, as well as, 2 more houses beyond it. Older maps show the houses there. Beach erosion has really affected the entire area. It's amazing how some houses a short ways down still have swimming pools out front. Those will all disappear in short time.
I was born in Raleigh N.C. and moved to florida when I was 10 years old. My grandparents had a trailer in morehead when they went they would always take me they knew I loved to fish. The beach in N.C is a lot different than Florida. In N.C. there's sand dunes blocking the view of the ocean. In Florida 🌴 there's condos blocking the view.
My wife and I always had a dream of having a house on the beach, no more, on a recent trip to Charleston SC, a visit to Folly Beach was an eye opener as that area also experienced a great deal of erosion.
I haven't been there in 12 years...was living in VA. Last I visited was south Nags Head. Thank you for this video. This is my second home and just to see how much mother nature has changed.
Used to stay in some of those houses near the Rodanthe pier back in the 90's on surf trips water would come under the houses even back then...There was a bar restaurant near the pier that got totally taken out by a storm.
Yes, the water will change the sand and bars and inlets and outlets. Living on Tampa Bay my whole life, I have seen small bars disappear and new inlets form from storms. But I have also seen many many beaches replenishing on both sides of the state of Florida. These homes can be saved through breakwater formation and sand replenish. All the sand in the back was in front of the homes, push it back to build waterbreaks, and dredge in sand. It's is an easy fix they the government doesn't want to do it. We have built modern miracles. Hoover Dam levies for the Mississippi New Orleans.
My family vacation in Rodanthe in August 2022. Such a beautiful place! ❤ I can’t even imagine how it must be for these home owners 😢 all those memories & families together, and I’m sure a good bit of $$. But they say, the ocean will always take back what was once part of it 🙁 Our beach access was literally right where you can see the No Parking sign in the video, that is now almost completely covered in sand 😮
Just watching some of your amazing 4k drone footage recently, and just like that video, I would like to know what camera, lens and settings are, if you don't mind sharing.
We were in Rodanthe a week ago. It's terrible to see those houses go. Back home in va now. But we go evey year. And we love it there. We stayed at the Mello Yello. And loved it.
My wife and I were in buxton for our honeymoon in 2019. Even then, the roads were constantly closed. People couldn't get to their properties and were stuck in hotels all over. They were in great spirits, however, but the one gentleman and his wife looked like they had some sort of sinking feeling then. Said that it was their last year there. I hope they are doing well. Thank you for the video!!!!
Gosh thanks for the video. I can’t believe that house is now gone. I have watched that house for years and yes there were houses all along side of the black pearl. My church group used to bike this part of the outer banks and we loved this house because reminded us of pirates that used to hide out in the Outer Banks Ike John Sparow and Black Beard. Yet, No the house just got washed out to sea 🌊. In most recent storm. It’s utterly gone and has been there at least for the last 30 years or more. I guess no one tried to move it and that is sad 😞 Yet, we used to play on the beach in front and all around this house The Black Pearl.
Thanks for your comment! The Pearl is still standing now 8/18/24, and it's condition has not changed. It was a different house that collapsed in the ocean.
Good video bro. Used to live out there. The beach used to be about 100 yards in front of the house. That was when I was there. Erosion is destroying the OBX fast. The S curves used to be my daily routine. Miss it there like a fat kid misses chocolate cake.
Family's been camping at KOA in summers since mid '70s. Seen a lot of changes in landscape. Will keep going camping there as long as I can because, maybe not in my lifetime, but at sometime you won't be able to get there unless ferry. And at sometime won't be anything left to go to (read somewhere few months ago in about 50 years). Love sound of waves breaking.
Ty for the videos, I wish I was back in NC to view the destruction of the ocean. The ocean draws you to it as a place of peace but as we know with there is always another side.
@@tworivers491 I don't think they were open while we were there during the 3rd week of March..? Or at least I don't remember. We did enjoy Diamond Shoals and Angelos for dinners and an excellent breakfast at Oceanas Bistro to the north off Hwy 12.
@@jeffreypinder9398 Oh, that's right! Orange Blossom hours are different off season. We have eaten at Diamond Shoals and food was delicious! Haven't visited the other restaurants you mentioned but thanks for recommendation...will visit next summer 🥳
If Rt 12 is about to be dismantled there, does that mean the houses will be cut off from their owners? Or are these houses already condemned? I'm honestly glad they built the new bridge. The point is to let the most flood-prone part of the island roll like the sandbar that it is.
The only reason that house is still standing and the ones next to it have washed away is because of the cross bracing that was done, in my opinion (I'm an engineer but also on the internet, so who really knows!)
There is a song about this. “The foolish man built his house upon the sand. The rains came down and the floods came up and the house on the sand fell flat.”
@@Kcterry It is an old song children were taught in Sunday School. It starts out, “The wise man built his upon a rock”….. The “rock” refers to Jesus Christ.
Any development or house not built on skids so it can be dragged away is by definition an ill-considered development on a barrier island. In the old days house lots ran from sea side to bay side so you could hook up the oxen and haul your house on logging skids back away from the ocean as the sand shifts and the spit moves. Those houses had outhouses and shallow wells (suitable far away from the out house) and of course no electric power or paved roads.
“For Rent” or not, you can’t access the home because the staircases have washed away. Now that the septic tank has been exposed, the home will be condemned. For the owners it’s now a Catch 22. Insurance company won’t let them demolish what’s still standing. Dare County will fine the owners as long as the house remains uninhabitable.
The OBX is my happy Place. In South Nags Head there are about 5 houses standing the the ocean. If they're still there, I think the street is called Alemedia. Can't remember. If you go down a street that starts with A and you turn left and get down the street and see and a cute round house, you're in the right place. The house are on the right in the ocean
most of those multi million dollar ocean front properties are actually owned by LLC that run it like a busness rentals all summer, and nobody actually lives there.
Our family stayed at the Black Pearl in August 2022 as well and had a wonderful week! My sister had been eyeing this house for years. Counting our blessings how fortunate we were!
I work for the company that did all the beach renourishment projects in the obx this year. Rodanthe is the only one we didn't do. I have no idea why. Friend told me the original road was actually on the water side of that house but don't know if that's true.
@@Kcterry definitely going to be a process getting it out of there. They should hire the company that relocated cape Hatteras lighthouse. That was a spectacular relocation.
Someone said it’s still for rent ! They are correct if you go to the site you most certainly can rent it now ! Also people just stayed there in august ! Wow just wow. I hope the authorities start some kind of restoration or there’ll be no beach there looks like.
Search YT for The Black Pearl Rodanthe, NC and see what the beautiful interior was 13yrs ago...and then it looks like the aftermath of Sandy was the beginning of it and neighbors isolation after the severe beach erosion...these were the stubs seen in this video.
Thanks for your info I'm curious to see what it looked like before people started building, also footage with a drone of the existing property. Nature always reclaims
I delivered the bedding in that house in 2006 lol then like less than a year later they use that house in the movie but obviously it wasn’t the real inside of the house in what you see in the actual movie
Great video. Thank you for posting. I have stayed in a little village about 25 miles south of there called Buxton for going on 15 years. Like Rodanthe, Buxton is experiencing similar issues. Sad. Everytime I hear about a chunk of Greenland's or Antarctica's ice shelves breaking off due to climate change, I think of the effect on the OBX. I have resigned myself to the mindset of enjoying the OBX while I can.
You should check out Ocracoke Island, if you haven’t yet. 14 mile Long Island and probably 12, if not more, miles of it is beach. Beautiful pristine natural beaches. No houses on them and they have sand dunes and it’s roughly 100 yards from the dunes to the water in several areas. First time I was technically there, was in my mom’s belly in 1988. We went every single year and I’ve only missed one year out of 34. My mother has only missed two years out of 64.
I live in Rodanthe. My grandmother left me her house not far from the house in this video. I'm stuck on selling it, or just letting nature do what it's going to do eventually.
Unfortunately this is what happens to all barrier islands. They move relative to the storm pressure they receive. Dauphin Island in Alabama is a prime example.
I was watching a news piece where one of the neighbors was irritated at Black Pearl's owner. He said the owner was bull headed and refusing to move it because "the land is going to come back." 🤦♀ Such a sad ending for her.
You obviously don't know about Coastal construction requirements. This is a Coastal "V" zone in a SFHA. Check with FEMA 55 Coastal construction manual.
A beautiful memory now. The Black Pearl is in Davy Jones locker now. Honestly.. I think all the houses on the edge of the bar like that should have some or sea floats & 4 corner anchors on them so when they do drop the price goes up. :> And you get to add a pier to get to them. The start of a floating community. :> ruclips.net/video/7SPl5c1En8k/видео.html So technically if you put multiple solar fed inboard, outboards on the house or make it a hovercraft of sorts. You could cross into international waters and put up a new International Mirlo Flag/sign "The impossible Dream a reality" c:

What do you mean im kinda new to beaches
I was in the blue house this October during the hurricane 😂 quite an experience

Kind of spooky, the slow steady reclaiming of these structures by the sea. It may be that mother nature always wins in the end.
Not a mother nature but weather control evil.
Mans desire to live with the sea has been thwarted by its desire to be rid of man’s intrusion.
Mother nature will always reclaim what's hers. It's just a matter of time!
This is not beach erosion. It is the barrier "islands" natural sandbar migration. They migrate Westwards.

most of those multi million dollar ocean front properties are actually owned by LLC that run it like a busness rentals all summer, and nobody actually lives there.
Mostly, yes.
I really hope they rescue that house...it's beautiful and sad at the same time.
It really is a Pearl...
Those houses have been there for years. Decades even. So what has or hasn't happened on the coast that's caused this ?
Great video!! It really does make you wonder about the fate of those other houses
My family stayed Aug. 2022 since it's been a bucket list house of ours
Our family stayed at the Black Pearl in August 2022 as well and had a wonderful week! My sister had been eyeing this house for years. Counting our blessings how fortunate we were!
Storm and surf created The Outer Banks and the same will take it back.The right hurricane could bring it all back
The house plan is to move the house...plans in process already....she has good bones ...
Mother Nature will have the last word.
Killer💯 but sad! Thanks for sharing ✌️
I work for the company that did all the beach renourishment projects in the obx this year. Rodanthe is the only one we didn't do. I have no idea why. Friend told me the original road was actually on the water side of that house but don't know if that's true.
Cool job!
Do you ever come down to Florida to do Beach renourishments?
@@TheAdventurousRealtor yes going to be alot of work there soon.
@@TheAdventurousRealtor it is. I'm also getting into multifamily rentals.
Surprised the houses were built that close even if it was 50+ years ago
I remember when all those houses were wayyy back and safe. I never thought it would be like it is now
My house is in the same town. Best place on earth.
Land does not disappear. It just gets relocated.
The owner is in the process of having the house relocated nearby safer location. All is not lost.
Won't be an easy task to move it. There's no longer a road behind it. Time will tell!
@@Kcterry definitely going to be a process getting it out of there. They should hire the company that relocated cape Hatteras lighthouse. That was a spectacular relocation.
Someone said it’s still for rent ! They are correct if you go to the site you most certainly can rent it now ! Also people just stayed there in august ! Wow just wow. I hope the authorities start some kind of restoration or there’ll be no beach there looks like.
My family stayed at the Black Pearl this past August and had a wonderful time!
I'm about to book a trip! The lawyers better hope it hold for 3 days, 2 nights 😆
Sad thing is that, we stayed there 2 years ago... shit is crazy
I see a lot of folks commenting have stayed here as recently as August of 2022. When did all of this recent damage happen?
Apparently not too long ago.
the Earth is always reinventing and redesigning itself!
Bs! Weather control.
Search YT for The Black Pearl Rodanthe, NC and see what the beautiful interior was 13yrs ago...and then it looks like the aftermath of Sandy was the beginning of it and neighbors isolation after the severe beach erosion...these were the stubs seen in this video.
Thanks for your info I'm curious to see what it looked like before people started building, also footage with a drone of the existing property. Nature always reclaims
I'd like to see that as well. Drone video is in pre-production.
I've got one I'd donate to the cause
Takes a hit of a blunt…
Ok, so, what if we just dig the ocean deeper.
Possible this house that just fell into the ocean?? Was filmed basically floating.. getting slammed by waves
Definitely not it. The Pearl still stands.
Thanks for sharing🤗🤗🤗
Hell yeah I would love to live there.
I would preserve them even in the water. Make great touristic attraction. As long as the are made safe.
Can they move it or just let insurance pay for clean up
I delivered the bedding in that house in 2006 lol then like less than a year later they use that house in the movie but obviously it wasn’t the real inside of the house in what you see in the actual movie
If they going to remove the house, they better hurry up because the sea is going to take it very soon
I hope they save the house its beautiful
I don’t think it’s truly an issue of not being “dealt with”. I think the funding was severely cut by the state. Research it.
I know those steps were already rebuilt at least once this season
People still staying in it?
Just looked it up. Still booking 2023. Seriously?
Yes, seriously. The house can be moved, steps and septic can be replaced.
Someone I just met stayed there.
They are taking reservations for 2023
It might go this week. Big long storm hitting and one house close by has already gone.
People keep saying the house was several hundred yards back from the water. Really? Several football fields back from the water?
Nope
The water was 100 yards in FRONT of that house 15 to 20 years ago, meaning they didn't pay for the oceanfront property but patience is key.
Great video. Thank you for posting. I have stayed in a little village about 25 miles south of there called Buxton for going on 15 years. Like Rodanthe, Buxton is experiencing similar issues. Sad. Everytime I hear about a chunk of Greenland's or Antarctica's ice shelves breaking off due to climate change, I think of the effect on the OBX. I have resigned myself to the mindset of enjoying the OBX while I can.
Thanks for your comment. I believe that's the best mindset to have!
Any low lying beach like that will wash away with time regardless of climate. It happens everywhere that beach preservation money isn't spent.
You should check out Ocracoke Island, if you haven’t yet. 14 mile Long Island and probably 12, if not more, miles of it is beach. Beautiful pristine natural beaches. No houses on them and they have sand dunes and it’s roughly 100 yards from the dunes to the water in several areas. First time I was technically there, was in my mom’s belly in 1988. We went every single year and I’ve only missed one year out of 34. My mother has only missed two years out of 64.
Been through there several times!
I live in Rodanthe. My grandmother left me her house not far from the house in this video. I'm stuck on selling it, or just letting nature do what it's going to do eventually.
If you had the right equipment someone would be able to climb up in to the house!!
And where is the garage for their vehicle?
Haha
I wonder why there are still power lines connected to the house....
Very much doubt they are live.
Unfortunately this is what happens to all barrier islands. They move relative to the storm pressure they receive. Dauphin Island in Alabama is a prime example.
This is due to the sand theft off shore that is happening everywhere and is not regulated at all.
So sad…. Sad to see the road go also. My favorite part of the drive to the ferry.
I was watching a news piece where one of the neighbors was irritated at Black Pearl's owner. He said the owner was bull headed and refusing to move it because "the land is going to come back." 🤦♀ Such a sad ending for her.
The first house you said was missing has been gone for over 5 years
I wonder if people ever climb and spend the night in this house or other similar houses just on a dare or other such premise.
Probably so.
Is it possible to restock the beach sands or use concrete or something? Oyster shale?
20 years ago that house was several hundreds of yards away from shoreline.
That's not true, you can see it on Google earth in the early 2000s
They could of easily put up some temp stairs to get there stuff out
I would find a way if it was me.
You obviously don't know about Coastal construction requirements. This is a Coastal "V" zone in a SFHA. Check with FEMA 55 Coastal construction manual.
A beautiful memory now.
The Black Pearl is in Davy Jones locker now. Honestly.. I think all the houses on the edge of the bar like that should have some or sea floats & 4 corner anchors on them so when they do drop the price goes up. :> And you get to add a pier to get to them.
The start of a floating community. :> ruclips.net/video/7SPl5c1En8k/видео.html
So technically if you put multiple solar fed inboard, outboards on the house or make it a hovercraft of sorts. You could cross into international waters and put up a new International Mirlo Flag/sign "The impossible Dream a reality" c:
Not abandoned. Bought years ago and relocated two houses back from ocean
Your thinking of another house. This one is still sitting where this video shows it.
As pessoas que tem poder aquisitivo bom quer morar onde quer se esquecendo que outros tem os mesmos direitos de aproveitar dos beneficios da natureza, tai o resultado e esse fenômeno tá no mundo todo
Is that the septic tank I'm seeing?
It is
I've read that exposed tanks are a big problem.
