The Outer Banks are so incredible….been visiting all of my life. The Black Pearl looks like it has been a perfect beach house. No doubt many beautiful memories for a lot of people. 🏖️
Love your videos…so nice to hear the ocean any time of the year and the views…of which some of us will not come there to see. Beautiful homes, what a joy it must be to have memories there.
Loved your video - wonderful ocean footage made me want to be there. There is a video from Jan 2024 by Epic Shutter that shows the Sands at Dawn house being moved back. Such a crazy amount of work and it's only 115 feet back so the ocean is still coming for it. I recognized it from your video and the Black Pearl is in the background
The house "Sandcastle by the Dawn" at the end of this video.... was moved back from the ocean about 120 feet. There is a video of it here on CZcams... pretty interesting.
That house, fka "Serendipity", now called "The Inn at Rodanthe" to match the movie, was the last house on the end back when I visited OBX in the spring of 2009. Back then it was considered not safe kind of like the Black Pearl is now. Serendipity was purchased by a couple that were big Knights in Rodanthe fans. It moved in 2010 to a lot about 1/2 mile down the road and was remodeled to look more like the scenes in the movie. It has recently been put on the market and is currently listed for 1.15 million.
Too bad the owner wont move it.I can't understand why he wont save that beautiful house!! ..it Surely cant be the money...might be insurance purpose.....he got the money obviously.... to move it....😢
Well, they wanted beachfront property, now they have it, subsidized by the US tax payer. Too bad we couldn't have left the barrier islands in their natural state.
my parents lost a home just south of this one but north of the pier some time back. ins pays for the home, but not the land or " lot". Be happy 12 South doesn't look like South Florida!
My family stayed in this house July of 2022. It was an amazing experience. This really saddens me to see this!
I seriously doubt the Black Pearl is insured. She's been under known threat for so long, any sane insurer would have canceled the policy long ago.

Absolutely! Hope it keeps standing strong!
It doesn’t matter what it cost, it needs to be taken off the beach. The ocean doesn’t need more garbage.
We stayed here in August 2022 and loved how it was so unique! I am so sad to see it is almost swept away.
Hopefully it keeps hanging on!
Was there last week. Back to it's original beauty
What do you mean by that?
Restored? Photos?
I lived in Rodanthe for many years its very beautiful and this happens way more than people realize. An entire restaurant fell into the ocean there.
it does seem to be happening more and more.

Thanks for your comment. Sights and sounds of the ocean are hard to beat!

Thank you!
So sad! Iconic! The city needs to pay the money to move it

Thank you! It's definitely crazy!
So sad about these houses falling into the ocean.
Very much!
I hate seeing these homes get taken by the ocean.
Nature in the raw is seldom mild.
Why do folks build so close to the water? I don't understand it. They have to realize what will eventually happen.
That was interesting. Thank you

pretty interesting.
These properties close to the ocean are definitely interesting/fascinating!
It’s a shame but Mother Nature will claim it one day!
Very possible but hope not.
It is irresponsible for these homeowners to not dismantle these home. So much garbage in the ocean. Use that good wood to rebuild.
Lol what an uneducated comment 😂
Was that where the setting was for the movie "Nights in Rodanthe"?
No, that's down the road a piece from this house.

Should have to remove it rather than polluting the environment.
did you see that the ocean claimed it yesterday? saw a video of it floating it the ocean on Twitter this morning.
Totally different house, not the Pearl
Got married I that house
That's awesome
Sad

Virginia never allowed development on the Eastern Shore barrier islands.
my parents lost a home just south of this one but north of the pier some time back. ins pays for the home, but not the land or " lot".
Be happy 12 South doesn't look like South Florida!
A fool and their money
