The space
This newly-remodeled 7 bedroom, 5 bath home has an unequaled dune front location, with direct private beach access (shared with one other house). Indulge in breathtaking ocean views from any of 3 Sunrise Decks, and gaze over the wetlands to Pamlico Sound beyond from any of 3 private Sunset Balconies or the top level Breakfast Deck.  Prepare a surf-and-turf feast on the Panorama Deck's outdoor kitchen/grill/bar, refresh in the 2nd deck hot tub, relax on the 1st deck hammock, picnic in the enclosed yard, and play on the outdoor volleyball court.

Enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the sunrise over the ocean or observe the eclectic mix of shore birds dip for their own breakfast and take flight . Finish the day with a romantic glass of wine, watching the sunset over the Pamlico Sound as the deer and otters make their evening appearance in the wetlands, and colors change in the Atlantic Ocean.

The hours between coffee and moon rise beckon umbrellas and sand castles. Be sure to have a camera handy to capture the memories of your close family and friends, found beach treasures and wildlife including the Cape's famous ghost crabs. Get your dose of Vitamin Sea as you spend an idyllic day on the national seashore collecting shells, taking an invigorating dip in the ocean, enjoy the surfing, or fishing from Rodanthe pier--just a 5 minute walk down the beach.

Savvy vacationers would do well to take the road less traveled and experience for themselves why this delightful nature lover’s home is named “Solitude.”

Non-routine cleaning or maintenance needed due to guest misuse (e.g. alcohol spills or "accidents") will be charged against the security deposit.
