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 UA-cam... pretty interesting.
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!
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....😢
The homeowners insurance will pay nothing. There are specific exclusions for this type of damage, it would be a high risk to insure it in the first place. Flood insurance will pay some.
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. 🏖️
I used to live in Havelock, North Carolina back in the late 50s. My family and I took a trip to Morehead city, spent a week across the road from the ocean. I remember watching a house wash away from Ocean waves. It was pretty sad. But it was happening even then.
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
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.
I hear you, but doing a little bit of reading you'll see that a lot of these houses weren't close to the ocean at all when they were built. The coast in this specific location has just changed THAT much
@@mcgowanfdayI agree. A few decades ago I imagine you had a few more streets in front of the house, correct me if I am wrong but it does seem like the shoreline started declining in 99 when they moved the lighthouse.
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.
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.
That’s why you pay insurance,as long as you’re paying them and no claims that’s fine to them.but a hint of trouble they 👎🏻 cancel you.
It doesn’t matter what it cost, it needs to be taken off the beach. The ocean doesn’t need more garbage.
Should have to remove it rather than polluting the environment.
Subscribed. Thank you for keeping us updated!
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.
So sad! Iconic! The city needs to pay the money to move it
The city? Wouldn’t it be the homeowner who pays to move it?
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 😂
Got married I that house
That's awesome

Virginia never allowed development on the Eastern Shore barrier islands.

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

Why can't it be the money?

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.

Absolutely! Hope it keeps standing strong!

Oh wow
Nature in the raw is seldom mild.
Was there last week. Back to it's original beauty
What do you mean by that?
Restored? Photos?
I hate seeing these homes get taken by the ocean.
Did he say Myrtle Beach?
A fool and their money

Thank you! It's definitely crazy!
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 that where the setting was for the movie "Nights in Rodanthe"?
No, that's down the road a piece from this house.

So sad about these houses falling into the ocean.
Very much!
Rodanthe means ?????translated?
no clue. I’ve never researched it.
Why do folks build so close to the water? I don't understand it. They have to realize what will eventually happen.
Never gonna understand that either.

Thanks for your comment. Sights and sounds of the ocean are hard to beat!
@@Kcterry You’re welcome, really enjoy your videos and updates and your calm nature. Be well. 🧡
Wonder if you can walk on the old hi way 12 section or is it just covered in the ocean?
It's been removed. All shoreline and ocean now.
@@Kcterry oh okay cool I was wondering about that. Looks weird with the power lines still standing there.
@@Kcterry if you look on Google maps you’ll see house numbers and old street drives in the ocean
