We had a wonderful time at Castle by the Sea. Very spacious, excellent property, good communication with the owner. Thank you so much!

Love that this property as it sits away from other houses. You get the feeling you are in a private retreat. The house is perfect for a large family. It was so nice to have so many bedrooms and the bathrooms were the perfect size and location for all. Swimming pool was a great plus. Fred was very helpful and just minutes away. We rented a golf cart for a few days which was fun for everyone and very helpful but not necessary. Thanks for a great stay!

Castle by the Sea was a beautiful place to stay! We loved the view, hot tub and pool!

Everything was great. Short walk to the beach. House was awesome.

Overall a great experience, the house could not been in a nicer location. Super easy to get to the beach . House was overall clean and well organized . Communication with Fred was fantastic as well

Our family of 10 loved this property! Very spacious and clean. Would definitely return.

We had never been to the OBX and this was a perfect location to take in as much as possible. Watching the wild mustangs was definitely a high point. That and watching world class kite boarding. Our host was seconds away for any needs we had, be it good or jacuzzi help! I would highly recommend this Castke ad your new Castle.

Had a great stay. The house was perfect, had lots of space, lot of amenities. Wish we had more time to use all the cool features of this place. We rented a golf cart to get down to the beach and could park it at the house. Fred had great communication. Would definitely recommend this place to stay at.

Great facility for a big family like ours. Easy access to beach and Pier. Kids loved the surf and we enjoyed the fishing (and the fish for diner). Big kitchen which is must for us. Lots of stuff to do within easy drive or walk. Pool a nice addition and the hot tub was well used. Host very helpful.

We had a wonderful stay. We had 5 adults and 5 children the house had so much room for everyone to spread out and relax. Beach is a 5 minute walk and the saltwater pool outside the door was a bonus! Fred was always available and answered very quickly to the few questions I had.

It was an awesome experience and we plan to be back one day.

This was by far the best vacation we have had in a long time, typically go to the gulf but decided to change it up. The house was awesome, there was a hot tub was not expecting, short walk to the beach and pier. Fred (owner) was mowing grass made sure to let us know if we needed anything to let him know. Would definitely recommend this property PERFECT everything.

Enjoyed our stay so much. The house was clean and lacked nothing. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. We were a party of 9 and we had room for anything anyone wanted to do. The hot tub and pool were an extra added bonus. Loved sitting on the deck and looking at the ocean as the sun came up. Only a short walk to the beach, which we had to ourselves. If we needed anything we would call Fred would respond immediately. (Like when we locked ourselves out of the house🤣) Would definitely book this property again. Fred and Sharon were great hosts.

First time vacationing in Outer Banks. Fred and Sharon have a beautiful house with numerous nooks in which one can choose to relax. They have stocked the house with almost everything that one could possibly need. Views are excellent and the beach is just a short walk away. Hope to return again!

Outstanding

We loved the look of the home and really felt like we were in a castle. The short walk to the beach was a plus and we really enjoyed our stay.

My family and I had a wonderful time at this property. Everything was perfect and Fred was awesome. Definitely will be returning in the future.

Home was very spacious & comfortable for my family & grandkids. Views from deck were beautiful. Saltwater pool was refreshing. Quiet neighborhood & short walk to the beach.. Fred was always available & quick to respond.

Beautiful property with plenty of space for our 10 guests. The deck is great in the evenings or sitting down by the fire. Just a short walk down the path to a beach where it's not hard to find your own personal space! Great trip, Fred was awesome and clearly maintains the property. Highly recommend!

This place is a awesome! It was clean, well stocked kitchen and a short walk to the beach! From the porches you can see the ocean and the sound. The hot tub was awesome for looking at the stars at night. Our family of 10, 3 couples and 4 kids, was never bored! It was a short walk to the Rodanthe Pier for fishing. The kids loved this place and the pool was a great addition for the kids. Even though it’s shared with the small family owned motel I think we may have seen 4 other people there but the rest of the time we had to ourself. The owners were close by so if you needed anything and are very quick to respond to messages you send. I would rate this a perfect find!!!! We will definitely be back!!!

Enjoyed it. Kids loved the pool and hot tub. Short walk to beach.

My family had a great time at this property. The check in process was seamless. Fred is a wonderful host. The location was exactly what we wanted, small neighborhood, close to the beach, and just far enough away from the chain restaurants and such. The house had everything a family needs to enjoy their vacation. We hope to be back soon.

Absolutely loved it! Location was great! Kids loved the pool and having a fire at night. Close to the beach. Definitely staying here again!

Had a great week in Rodanthe thanks to Fred's property. Highly recommended rental.

The house was incredible, everything was perfect. Fred, you are awesome and have set the bar high (this was our first VRBO rental.) Enjoy the ocean, the hot tub, the space- open concept, the soft sheets and the fully loaded kitchen. Wow. By the way, we’re not even home yet but already miss the laid back Rodanthe ❤️

What a great place! 3 minute walk to a very secluded beach! Rodanthe pier less than a mile away. Hot tub off the master bedroom was used nightly and highly enjoyed! Several restaurants and 2 small grocery stores within a couple of miles. In Rodanthe which is centrally located between Kill Devil Hills/Nags Head and Cape Hatteras With 5 bedrooms plenty of room for large groups to spread out. We would definitely come here again!

Excellent experience.

We loved this home. The house has plenty of space (inside and out) for everyone to spread out. It was private and still close to the beach and pool (that were both never crowded) We relaxed under the stars every night in the hot tub. If you prefer to cook, the kitchen was fully stocked. If you prefer to eat out, there were a few tasty, local options. It's a perfect place to just relax.

Fred’s place was absolutely amazing! The house was gorgeous and sparkling clean. It had all of the kitchen necessities we could think of! Less than 5 minute walk to the beach which was never crowded! The rooms were even more updated than the pictures showed, all had updated flatscreens! I would recommend this place for a wonderfully, relaxing beach vacation. 10/10

Kitchen is well stocked. Home is spacious and beautiful. Short walk to the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

The Castle by the Sea is a beautiful house, very clean, kitchen well stocked - was so nice to have bed linens and towels provided. The hot tub was fabulous at night with a beautiful view of the stars and milky way with lights out in the house. So unique to have access to a pool when renting a house at the beach too. Fred was great about answering all my email questions before our stay very promptly and was easy to talk to next door when we had questions once we got there. Being in Rodanthe it is a perfect central location for exploring the Outer Banks from top to bottom. I highly recommend this house as a lovely place to stay.

This is a place where you just relax; 5 minute walk to the beach; hear the ocean from the back decks and enjoy all the decks for reading and relaxing; I enjoyed doing my yoga on the upper back deck in the morning--the view, the sound; enjoy the birds on the marshland in front of the house (plovers, sea gulls, geese, wading birds and more); great kitchen for meal prep; enjoy the pool and the hot tub; walk to Lisa's for a nice pizza dinner; great fruit and veggie stand a 10 minute walk (or quick drive). Have deep woods mosquito protection if they like you. Just breathe and enjoy! Only cautions--when arriving, be careful not go to too far under the carport as it drops off into the sand (Fred helped us get out); the master bedroom round bed a little stange...but fun!
