About this house rental
One of the top rated homes in the area with 5 star reviews: The traditional obx "Heads Above" house has been a part of Rodanthe for over 2 decades sharing it's allure and charm to countless guests and visitors across the globe. Perched on the sand this traditional cedar shake beach bungalow is just steps from the ocean waves where memories and experiences await. This timeless Outer Banks oceanfront property is always primed and ready for the adventure seeker and beach enthusiast and is just the right size and space for family and friends to enjoy! Large enough to get lost when you need to yet small enough for that cozy intimate feel. Whether for a weekend getaway or a week or 2 or more long vacation this newly updated interior 4 bedroom 3 bathroom beach property has all the modern luxuries for that perfect getaway! Whether it's Last minute adventures or some advanced planning there is plenty to do from lounging around the house, surfing, swimming, fishing, walking the beach, beach combing or relaxing in the hot tub we have it all. Spend your days playing on the beach and then relax on one of the spacious decks overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. A quick walk to the Rodanthe pier, shops, and local restaurants offers variety and options for the adventurous vacationer. Take a bike ride along the iconic NC12 road where numerous small stores and local eateries await you. The OBX has many places to explore and do for all ages and skill sets for activities in the great outdoors. Then there's the famous lighthouses along the coastline, wildlife preserves, large sand dunes, Wright Brothers National Memorial, plus plenty of wide open beaches to explore. Why leave the house? An open concept updated kitchen with all new stainless steel appliances and accessories put in the summer of 2023, offers a culinary delight to the chef who enjoys cooking. Lunch or late afternoon grilling on the deck adds flexibility and variety for the outdoor chef. The 2 large decks facing the ocean are great spots to relax and hang out while playing games or soaking in the hot tub, with unobstructed beach and ocean view that stretch across miles of ocean! One of the most unique and exciting things guests have mentioned about their stay is seeing schools of dolphins, whales and seabirds such as pelicans right off the deck behind the house. The front deck of the house is a sweet spot that boasts tremendous sunsets facing the west sound side of the island. Great place to escape for a while on your own for some peace and quiet. It is also a sweet spot for a late afternoon or evening tea or glass of wine as you gather around the coffee bar. Guests enjoy the close proximity to the beach, waves running up towards the back deck and the sounds of the sea and tranquility of the ocean sounds while sleeping. Don't wait. Let the adventure begin at Heads Above!

The inside of the home was super clean, decorated nicely. Extremely close to the ocean. The views are spectacular. Especially from the upper deck. Our only issue was the driveway. There was so much sand that it made it hard to walk to and from our vehicle. The driveway should have been cleared, at least to some degree. I notice other rentals had the driveway cleared.

Owners were very responsive with any questions and accommodated some changes we requested with no issues which was so helpful to us. You can’t get any closer to the beach! We had an awesome time. A must visit.

This was our first visit to the OBX and staying at Heads Above was excellent! The customer service and attention we received from Darren was timely and top notch. Darren even provides an App for your smartphone on all the "need to know" topics for the house and surrounding area. The accommodations were comfortable, clean and the location couldn't be beat. The best compliment I could give is that I want to go back.

This was our first trip to the OBX and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. House was clean, comfortable and roomy and the view was fantastic!!
There were a couple weather related issues but Darren was quick to respond, kept us updated and issue resolved.
Will definitely look to rent again if we go back to the OBX.

It was one of the best vacations. It was everything we hoped for. The view is breathtaking and peaceful. The place was clean and so roomy. Darren and Claudia were the best hosts. They checked in to see if everything was okay and if we needed anything. Even got us chairs and an umbrella when I mentioned if they had them there. They couldn’t be more accommodating. I will be telling all my friends who want to go to the Outer Banks. We would definitely stay there again. Cheryl C.

One of our favorite beach trips yet! Perfect for a family with children to let them run wild on the beach. We spent most of our time outside but the inside was just as great!! The location cannot be beat, the home is extremely cozy, and the hosts are great! We will definitely be back 😀

Darren is an amazing host! He did a great job of helping me rent the place out last minute and answered every question or concern I had in a timely manner! He’s a great guy and even has his cleaning crew send me my sweatshirt I left behind! The view was absolutely breathtaking and the house itself felt very homey! Would stay here again for sure! Thank you so much Darren!!!

We stayed here with our family and my sisters family. There was plenty of room, owners communicated well, walking distance to most things including the pier. I would definitely come back.

Our family agreed that our stay at this property was our best vacation to date! We love OBX and this was our first stay in Rodanthe. The house was perfect and the host was amazing; great communication. The hosts turned what could have been a disaster of a vacation when we were bumped last minute from our original rental into the perfect week. They even arranged amazing weather for us😃. 10 out of 10!
