We had a great time. This is the first time we have ever booked a house and it far exceeded our expectations! It was our grandkids first trip to the ocean and they loved it. We loved the pool and hot tub. We spent more time in them than I thought we would. Everything was very clean and well organized. The washer and dryer was a very good feature as we did laundry while we were at the pool and had less to wash when we got home. The kitchen was well equipped, we had pasta night and we even made cookies with kids one night! We all loved it and didn't want to leave!!! We will definitely be back!!!Thank You!!!

Island Times is the perfect vacation home for our family of 5 + 1 Golden Retriever. We have visited many of the east coast beaches, but this is the only home we've visited in back to back years. It's not overly fancy, but it is exactly what a beach house should be; clean, comfortable, well equipped and perfectly sistuated. I spent the whole winter looking for homes that have better amenities and I have to say Island Times may be the best value out there. You can't find too many 4 bedroom homes in this price range that are this close the beach, with a pool, hot tub, etc. (Don't get me wrong, prices have gotten outrageous, but so have prices for everything else.) While it's not beach front, it is a very short walk to the beach and the pier where my son fished all week long. It may even be a shorter walk to the beach than some beach front homes we've stayed in. Bedrooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could ask for to cook at home. The pool is large and there are decks at every level to either take in or get out of the sun. Perfect for Us!
Little Nit Picks
As anyone who's been to the Outerbanks understands it is always windy. Because of this, and the fact that 5 people are using it daily, the pool gets pretty dirty by the end of the week. The owner does have a net that we used daily, but it would be great to have a mid week cleaning or some other way for renters to keep the pool clean.
5.0
To start, this house for July 4 week was $6000+ which was comparable to other similar properties that are within sight of the beach and have a pool.The BR are a nice size and beds are comfortable. The outdoor decks and pool are great. That’s all the good stuff.
A day into the trip we saw our first cockroach. Then more crawling around the dishwasher. Bugs happen at the beach and we know that. Steve was on it right away and got someone out to spray the next day. It diminished the problem but didn’t eliminate it. We kept the trash on the screened in porch and didn’t leave food out.
The biggest negative to this house though is the location. While it is close to the beach, this particular section of beach is being retaken by the ocean. Google “Rodanthe falling into the ocean” and you will see a local news story about a house at the end of this street falling into the ocean. Several of the houses at the end of the street are condemned and look like an eyesore compared to what you want when you are paying almost $1000/night. Worse than that is the flooding. In the Thursday night high tide the water came up the street and filled in shin high under the deck. We came back from viewing fireworks and had to wade through it. There was no storm, just high tide. Steve hasn’t offered to refund any of our money and none of this is disclosed so renters beware. I suspect you can find a similar house that isn’t on this particular street.

Wonderful home that checked all the boxes for our family from amenities to location. We had a fantastic time and hope to return again soon!

Even though this location is technically not on the ocean; it sure feels like it. We loved sitting on the deck watching and hearing the waves crash on shore.
The kids were in the pool twice a day. Beds were comfortable; kitchen is recently updated and has newer appliances and well stocked with silverware and plates for our family.
Steve was very good with communicating and answering questions.
Overall; we were very happy with our first visit to OBX and will return again.

My family enjoyed our vacation at Island Time in Rodanthe. The house was the perfect size and location for our family of 4, and our dog. We enjoyed the ocean views from multiple decks on the home,
and the easy access to the beach. The private pool was a nice and relaxing reprieve after the hot and sunny days at the beach. The Owner, Steve, was very responsive and quickly addressed a minor issue we were having getting the AC to kick on. It was easily resolved and we had no more issues throughout our trip. I would definitely recommend Island Time to other families who are planning a vacation to the Outer Banks.

Island Time was the perfect spot for our OBX beach vacation. The house was just the right size for our group ( 6 adults, 1 infant, 1 dog).. more would have been tight. The pool was comfortable break from the beach.... and the beach was so close!!! We could easily come back for naps and to check on the dog.The hottub took us a bit to get the right temp , but once we did it was delightful.. especially on a rainy afternoon. A couple restaurants and coffee shops were an easy walking distance.. we cooked several dinners and breakfast each day and the kitchen had more than everything we needed. For grilling it is a simple charcoal grill, but it worked well for burgers and chicken. We stayed right in the middle of the summer, so there was a bit of sand accumulated in the house, but super clean for a pet /beach rental and I cant wait to get back to Island Time!

Wonderful location, especially if you love the beach because beach access is at the end of the street. Gracious and responsive host. Will definitely return in the future.

I would 💯 stay here again. The house is like being at home . The beds are super comfortable. We were able to bring our little dogs and had our very own pool , which was so nice and a hop skip and a jump from the ocean . Also the local coffee shops and restaurants are very close .

We were so pleased with our stay at Island Time! The house was located close to the beach (like a block away: 2-3 min walk) and had everything you needed basically. The kitchen was stocked with all the basics and then some, that you would need to cook. The decor was beachy and inviting. The pool was amazing! We didnt use the hot tub, but it looked great and inviting. We had 7 people and 2 dogs in the house and it never felt crowded. The outdoor deck space was the best...beautiful views of the ocean and sunrise and sunsets. I think the decks were the dogs favorite spaces too, with gates on them so they could roam freely. The area was family friendly and not over crowded. Overall, we would highly recommend this house and hope to come back and stay again soon!

Island Time was just what we were looking for. Gorgeous views, perfect distance to the beach, wide porches, gates with latches, screened in porch, hot tub, pool, outside shower, hose to wash off after a day at the beach and dog friendly and clean. We enjoyed EVERY SPACE of that house! There wasn't 1 thing we needed that wasn't there. We had some questions for Steve, I sent him texts and he responded promptly. Very friendly, efficient and helpful. Would definitely recommend staying at Island Time. Thanks Steve

House was perfect location for beach fun and pool fun!

Nice house…sofa was in need of a good cleaning but not unexpected in a property that allows pets. Beautiful and well-stocked kitchen. Great pool and hot tub (although maneuvering the hot tub cover on and off in the small enclosed porch is very difficult)! Easy beach access and better views than we expected. Homeowner quick to respond and very pleasant!

Spent a week here with family (5 adults, 1 young child). The house was perfect and there were so many things that just made sense and worked out so well. First, the location, booking, check-in and check-out were very easy. We didn't have to communicate extensively with the owners, but that's because the information they provided was very thorough. The house was clean and set up very well. One of my pet peeves is renting a house with a group of people to discover that the common areas are not equipped with enough seating. Not a problem here - the living room, dining area, porches and pool area all had more than enough space for our group to spend time together. This might have been the most well-stocked kitchen I've ever seen in a rental - we cooked most of our meals at the house and had no problem finding everything we needed. The proximity to the beach was great and moving back and forth between the house, beach, and pool was easy. We all had a great time playing and relaxing in the pool and the floats that were available were a great bonus. All the porches and sitting areas with views of the ocean and sound side were great. (Another bonus were the gates at the stop of the stairs throughout the porch area - allowed my sister's dog to enjoy the porches freely along with the rest of us!) We could not have been happier with the house, location, amenities - just everything throughout our stay. Thank you so much for opening your home!

Can't say enough nice things about this house. It checked all the boxes for us. So close to beach, house was immaculate, super dog friendly with gates on the stairs, fully stocked kitchen, nice size pool, hot tub, passes to pier. I could go on the on. You won't regret staying here. I think we may have finally found our perfect rental for our small family in Rodanthe. Only took 10 years.

Great week at a Great house.
What a great house and a great location, 90 second walk to a wonderful beach. House had everything we could have wanted with 4 spacious bedrooms. Pool area was awesome! Private and sunny!! We had one minor issue that I only mention because the property owner responded IMMEDIATELY and had it resolved for us with-in an hour. We could not have been happier with our choice and are starting to plan our return trip!
Thank you, Steve and Debra.

Wonderful family vacation home
We had a wonderful family vacation renting this home. It is close to the beach. The house has everything you'll ever need to make your Rodanthe visit the best ever. The owners are lovely and very easy to contact. They are on top of everything do everything to make your visit the best. The area is very laid back and close to great restaurants.

Great Family House & Close to the beach!!
Our family of 5 and in-laws have been visiting the Outer Banks (North-Duck & Corolla) for years and we have always loved it but haven't loved the crowds in the recent years. We decided to go south this year and boy were we in heaven. It's so much calmer than the north side with all the necessary things that you still need. The traffic was almost none existent for check in and out days and the beach was not packed at all especially for July 4th week!!
Rodanthe has plenty of restaurants, markets, beach shops. You do need to plan your dinners (alot of places are still having staffing issues and had trouble seating large parties without a long wait), the dollar general and waves deli market have all the needed items and food lion was about 25 min away, all doable and super friendly staff.
The house was absolutely perfect for our family. We have three kids (12, 10 & 6) and our in-laws joined, we also had our two dogs, everyone had plenty of room. The house is clean and updated simply and beautifully. All the decks had amazing views of the water and island. The dogs loved to just hang outside. There were gates on all the stairs so that was an added bonus to not have to worry about them. The walk to the beach took 2 minutes and was so convenient to walk back and forth for lunches and snacks throughout the day. The pool was a really nice size (some times beach rental pools are tiny, this was def not). Plenty of surrounding space for everyone to lay out and play.
The landlords were amazing and easy to get ahold of. We were able to ask questions prior to the trip and during. They were quick to respond and make sure that we were super happy!
We rented jet skis at a local Rodante site that was wonderful and did a half day fishing charter in Hatteras, also amazing. There really was plenty to do without all the craziness of the north towns.
We have stayed at many OBX rentals of all sizes and price ranges and this by far was our top stay! We would recommend this rental to friends and family and will be keeping it in mind for future summers! Happy Travels!

Pleasant
It's challenging to find a house that allows dogs, with a private pool, close to the ocean. While a little cramped, the house ticked all the boxes for an affordable price. The walk to the beach is actually comparable to many beachfront homes with long private access. We had a few minor issues during our stay but the property manager was attentive, polite, and helpful with any questions.

Island Time Highly recommended for families
House was well stocked with kitchen accessories: plates, cups, silverware, utensils, etc. Bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and had all that was needed.
Beautiful view with good seating from the many decks.
Great pool area, fenced in.
Short walk to ocean.
Highly recommend for small families looking for a cozy home feeling!

We had a great stay! Two families with small kids (combined 4 adults and 4 kids under 4 years old). The beaches are beautiful and an easy walk from house. Water was so nice and in afternoon at low tide it was so much fun for kids to play on the huge sand bar! The Rodanthe Pier access was perfect for bathroom and beach snacks. My daughter loved that she could have ice cream from pier shop every day! You can also walk to multiple restaurants - we were able to take strollers to Atlantic Coastal Cafe very easily and other dinner options are even closer. The house has multiple decks with beautiful ocean views - so relaxing to sit out and enjoy with a glass of wine after kids went to bed. Kitchen was well stocked with plates and glasses and cookware. The large covered space on lower level was perfect for storing our beach stuff and strollers and hanging out. Owners were so helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. Thank you for a wonderful time!
