The location of this house is key! Its walking distance (like .5 mile down the road) to a pizza place, coffee bar and a surf shop. Beach area is clean and watching the surfers and sunrises/sunsets from the balcony was so cool! The pool and hot tub were great and used every day by the kids and adults. The only "downfall" is the stairs...so many stairs. But that is pretty much the norm for the Outer Banks area. Thankfully there is an elevator so the older folks used that most of the time. The rest of the family and kids used the stairs and had no issues with it. After the first day you get used to it. The beds were comfy. There are no black out curtains on any of the window in the bedrooms, so be ready for BRIGHT mornings! Make sure you come with all your own toilet paper, paper towel, kitchen towels, kitchen soap, regular soap, shampoo, etc. - None is provided. There are plenty of markets near the house to get whatever you need and the Dollar General store nearby is amazing - has almost all you will need - including dry foods. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend booking this place. Also, the Rodanthe Pier is a short beach walk away. Go eat at "I got your crabs" in Kitty Hawk for good seafood! It was so good we drove out there twice!

Great location, great views, ocean front, beach was never really crowded even on 4th of July week, comfortable beds, quiet house, quiet neighborhood, kids loved the pool, owner/manager responded very quickly to questions

Very fun visit and really enjoyed having 2 dishwashers in the kitchen. Great location and we were able to walk everyone and short drive to the Food Lion for extra food.

House was ok, the lay out is strange- thank goodness for the elevator. Pool: not able to use- temp due to unit issues and lots of sand. The rooms are small, and the upstairs is very small- the downstairs area needs to be cleaned better- level 2 areas I don't think were even touched by the cleaning service. Wonderful location- weather was miserable. Just some little things that need to be addressed but you can't change the size of the living area's. Just not real impressed with all the stairs.

Just the right balance of great location, without being too crowded. The perfect example of the Outer Banks vacation.

Beautiful location literally right on the ocean. Great views from all rooms. 3 stories are set up to accommodate multiple families. There are a lot of stairs to climb which may be challenging for some but there’s an elevator if needed. Everything was very clean. It was great being able to walk right out to the beach. Note that you’ll need all wheel drive vehicle for the driveway. Since this house is right on the beach the driveway is covered with sand. Overall beautiful house with lots of great amenities and very very clean.

The home owner was great with getting back to me quickly with any questions I had. We got to meet the maintenance guy, Pauly, thanks to some pesky birds and he was great to work with and suggested places to go eat. The only thing I would change is for the second floor thermostat to be a bit cooler, especially at night, and the grill was nasty on the inside so we didn’t get to use it. The driveway is lots of sand but we knew that ahead of time so we were prepared for that. Overall we enjoyed our stay, sitting on the back balconies with the ocean view was our favorite thing to do.

We enjoyed our week on the beach at this property. Some of the huge pros included that it's literal steps away from the beach, it has an elevator and accessible bedroom/bathroom for those with mobility issues (a godsend for my 95 year old grandmother), there are ample bedrooms/bathrooms for a multi-generational vacation, and there is a private pool and hot tub. A few of the cons included a pretty chaotic check in process. The check in was at 4, which I confirmed was okay when we were an hour away, but when my family arrived, the cleaning crew was still there because the previous occupants left the property late. While this is not the end of the world, we were told that the cleaners would be done by the 4pm check in so we were thrown off by this change. All this needed was some more open communication so I could make arrangements for my parents, 15 month old, and grandmother. Second, the house could use some TLC. There were exposed wires on the outside of the house, exposed nails on a few of the decks (which was hazardous for our little one), one of the dishwashers was corroded on the inside, and the thermostat was difficult to manage as it was locked and struggled to maintain a level temperature. The final thing that I wanted to mention is that while I absolutely respect anyone's decision of what to put in their home, having an entire bookshelf filled with right-wing conspiracy literature and altering the Roku channels so that it's only easy to find OAN and Newsmax runs a huge risk of leaving a sour taste in some renters' mouths when they arrive. While this didn't permanently impact our stay, it was enough to lead us to decide not to rent here again because we did not feel very welcome in the home.

There were so many wonderful things about this beach house! The location cannot be beat as it is RIGHT ON THE BEACH! In addition, it has its own private pool and hot tub which we learned was really difficult to find in a rental house right on the beach! This house comfortably slept 12 people and we loved that all five bedrooms had their own bathrooms and televisions. There is three balconies on BOTH sides of the house which provides wonderful views of both bodies of water. In addition, both the owner and the maintenance man (who we had to call on twice) are quick to respond to texts and phone calls which is a huge help. Lastly, the location of this house in Rodanthe lends itself to exploring both the Northern and Southern ends of the OBX since this town is basically smack dab in the middle of the island chain. Although there were a few issues with this beach house, I would definitely recommend it to a group of 12 people looking for a rental house right on the beach!

Wonderful house right on the beach!

This house and location could not had been any better… if looking for a quiet get away with family and truly being on the beach, then this is for you!! The house is literally on the beach! Walking outside directly onto the beach with the ocean just feet away is amazing!!! The house is beautiful and has everything a family needs. We took advantage of the local hot spots for lunch and dinner but did use microwave to heat leftovers from time to time. Watching dolphins daily swimming by the house was the highlight of our daughters week! Family enjoyed using the pool and pool table downstairs. Highly recommend if looking for a true beach getaway! The renter is fantastic and always responded quickly and kindly when I reached out. Felt like we gained a friend this week…

Wonderful location right on the beach! We really enjoyed the heated pool, hot tub, and all of the balconies with various views. The elevator was wonderful for my mom with mobility issues and the crib and high chair were perfect for my little one. Great little town with good restaurants and we enjoyed a nearby dolphin watch tour twice!

Loved that house was so close to ocean.
