Anyone here rented a place in the Outer Banks?
Haven't been recently so I can't say. In the past I would go frequently and just find a spot. (it was a reasonable drive from Norfolk when I lived there a few years) This is my favorite place and my dream retirement location. The outer the better. I might have to compromise for the keys if I want to retire with DH.
Steph - we have one in our guestroom and for the inside liner, we're going to be getting a shower curtain with magnets in it so that it sticks to the tub, and not to us or our guests -
Our shower enclosure (and curtain) is from Vintage Tub & Bath: [link] I think it's a smaller-than-normal ring because we chose the least expensive one. Our curtain does have magnets, but I think part of the problem is that the curtain is extra big, and so it bunches up, and then the part that's bunched up -- like gathers or pleats in a skirt -- is what encroaches on my shower space.
Plus the tub has a slant back instead of a straight back, so the curtain doesn't stick to the slant part very well, and instead continues to stolidly hang straight down, which cuts of accessible moving-around space.
BEST PLACE EVER.
Unfortunately, Topsail is too far from the Kitty Hawk hang gliding site for us.
We've rented in Duck and Corolla, Sparky, and we love it. Traffic can get a little hairy (it's the northern part of the island) because it's a two-lane road, but the beaches are great, and if you go off-season it's still warm and way cheaper.
That tag doesn't close.

gotcha - I'll stop posting about magnets everywhere then...

And, off-season, our puppy can be on the beach! We've found a couple possibilities (that aren't 8 bedroom monstrosities, that allow the dog) but I just wish I knew the area better so I knew what we could walk to, etc.

Hmm... maybe a non-plastic curtain would be good

I have much experience with the incrediably amorous shower curtain. The only thing that helped at all was getting a thick vinyl liner, which hangs straighter because of the weight.
I just got this spam:

This sounds fixable, though - can you replace or even just trim the curtain down to size?
Can you stick extra fridge-type magnets on various critical curtain bunching points?
