Nice, more traditional beach house. Just off the bridge in Rodanthe. From the top balcony, you can see both the ocean and the sound, and there is an almost unobstructed view to the ocean from the back. Good value, and from this location in Rodanthe, you can easily visit Bodie's Island and further south down Hatteras Island. We enjoyed it, and would stay here again!

This is the third time we've stayed at this cottage. We love getting away and staying somewhere that feels like home. There's enough space for the 6 of us to get together or find places to be alone. The kitchen is setup for several chefs to prepare meals. The laundry room is conveniently on the way out/in the door. We hope to stay here again in the future.

Location and house was perfect. We had a wonderful vacation and would stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Northwind cottage. It's location couldn't have been better for our family. The beach was within walking distance and never crowded. The campground across the road was always quiet and they never disturbed us. I loved the new patio furniture and spent many mornings and evenings on those decks with coffee and a book. The teenagers enjoyed the basketball court. Would definitely stay again! Thanks for sharing your cottage with us!

Property was as described, clean and very accessible to the things we wanted to do. Not to far away from the light houses and other parks to visit. Rob does an amazing job with communication and is always very responsive if needed! 2nd time we have stayed here and I’m sure it will not be our last!!! Thanks again for another nice vacation in the Outer Banks! Tim

This home is absolutely adorable in a very quiet area close to restaurants and stores Has everything you need for a small group There was 6 of us and we had plenty of room Sunrise deck was wonderful, screened in porch was so comfortable to have a snack and glass of wine I’d definitely return to this home again Rob the owner replied right back when booking as well as info to get into home I did not need anything so I did not have to reach out during my stay Everything was Great

Northwind suited our family very well and was an excellent base for our explorations. Some family went north to Kill Devil Hills for hand gliding while others went south to Hatteras lighthouse and the Graveyard of the Atlantic museum. We enjoyed sunrises from the upper deck or after a short walk to the shore - access was quick and easy. Kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed the enclosed sunporch. Thank you!

Nice house in a very quiet area of the obx. Great view from top deck of ocean. We had a small bridge cutting over to the marsh (unable to access beach) but it was a nice little spot to see wildlife! My family all agree that we would stay again in the future. Our only complaint was the mattress on the pull out couch was really thin. Spacious enough for all 8 members of our group without feeling cramped. Rob was very easy to reach and responsive from start to finish. Perfect location to go north or south for more views of the obx. Definitely recommending this house to friends!

A most excellent time was spent at the home. We have stayed at Northwinds in the past and we love the location. The home and grounds are well maintained and with 3 bedrooms /2 full baths privacy is excellent. Great kitchen with everything one needs to prepare meals. Two different level decks and a screened in porch make for enjoyable viewing. The beach is an approximate 800 yd walk from the house and if you elect to drive there is a country beach access parking lot with bathrooms and showers with a 10 minute drive of the home.

Wonderful house and more amazing location. So close to the beach! Loved it!

We really enjoyed this property. The view from the top deck was stellar. A really unique place.

This is the second time my family has stayed in this cottage. It feels secluded down the long driveway. It was very clean and welcoming on the inside. The ocean is a nice short walk away. The views are beautiful. There's so much to do in the OBX - lighthouses, the pier, birdwatching, etc.

Very nice, the only thing that I was disappointed in was the screened in porch. I couldn't wait to set on the porch, but when you sat down you couldn't see out. Bummer!!

The house is perfact for relaxation and for the beach activities. Just loved the place and Rob was very helpful. It will be my first choice to look at when we plan to come down again.

Beautiful home and I loved the lay-out of the house. Beautiful views and walking distance to the beach. Close to lots of activities but not crowded. The perfect place.

The property was in our opinion the best suited for our family. It is a short walk to the beach, and sits back off the main road a fit so feels super private. This was by far one of the most relaxing vacations we’ve been on in a long time. We love this cottage and hope to be able to come back soon. Dealing with the property owner was a breeze and he always responded very quickly. Thank you Rob we enjoyed your cottage immensely!

Our family had a wonderful time in Rodanthe! The house was house and location we amazing. Rob was a gracious host.

The location of Northwinds beach house is very well situated to visit the OBX sites or for enjoying the beach. We stayed the week of July 4th and was not disappointed.

We LOVED this home! It was just a beautiful setting. Comfortable and so many spots to enjoy the views. The outdoor shower was the ultimate luxury. Appreciated the really nice laundry appliances and the Dyson to keep up with the sand. Rob was great to work with. So thankful to come across this property. We hope to be fortunate to come back to this property year after year.

The house is a little off the beaten path, well off the highway but not that close to the beach. Yes, there is a small mobile home park right across the fence, but it was quiet and -- with the exception of a couple trailers -- well kept. Our only issue was a bird or pair of birds were coming in through a fan vent in the side of the house and had built a nest in the ductwork that is not easily accessible. The owner-manager couldn't find a pest control licensed for birds that could get to us during the week. The birds were noisy early in the morning, but those sleeping nearest the area adapted by putting on music and earbuds. Not a deal-breaker, but something to ask about maybe. For us, it's just one of those "vacation experience" stories.

Nice proximity to the beach, great outdoor space, peaceful place

We enjoyed the property, had some difficulty with beach access but found a beach access site within 1 minute drive that had parking lot and bathroom. Kitchen well equipped, beds comfortable and upstairis living area was an asset.

We absolutely loved this house. It was homey, bright, and the layout was perfect. The decks and loft were wonderful, and everything we needed was there or we were told to bring. It was even in the ideal spot, far away from most neighbors but right in the middle of everything that we wanted to see. My Mom and I travel quite a bit together and like to explore everywhere we go to the fullest. This was the first house that we stayed at that made us want to stay in rather than go out. It was that perfect in every way. Seriously. Don’t pass this house up. If we ever get to return to OBX, we would only want to stay here.

This beach house was ideally situated - a five-minute walk to the waves but far back enough to have a buffer. It is set back from the road with trees and bushes screening the noise and traffic. Rodanthe is a quiet part of the Outer Banks, which suited us.The house itself was impeccably cleaned before our arrival and everything was functional. The layout is great, with a wonderful sunrise-over-the-ocean view from the loft, and a common space comprising the kitchen, dining room, living room, and loft. There is a mudroom/laundy room on the lower level, which is highly useful in a beach house.Communication with the owner was good - we knew everything we needed to know.

We had a great time at this excellent vacation rental. This is our second year in a row and we have loved it each time. Rob is an excellent property manager and will help you with anything he can. Would highly recommend to anyone on a fishing trip or vacation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this house! It feels like a comfortable family home, not a sterile vacation rental. The location is quiet and (reasonably) private, about a 5 minute walk to the beach. Close to Lisa's Pizza, fresh fish/seafood market, and anything else you could need for a week at the beach. Exceptionally well-stocked kitchen had everything we needed. Rob was great communicating with us. We loved it and hope to return!

We stayed here in Rodanthe in July 2020. Everything was as advertised, and communication with Rob (the owner) was great. Rodanthe was perfect for us: great for beach access and "downtime" but close enough to civilization to meet all our comfort needs. There are shopping and restaurants in Avon (20 min) including a good size Food Lion supermarket. Froggy Dog in Buxton was great for dinner. The house is very well equipped, we found everything we needed. The kitchen was large enough to make cooking for all of us easy. There is no grill, so if you want to grill you will need to bring your own. We brought an electric griddle, which was perfect for cooking breakfasts (pancakes, etc.) and hamburgers. The bedrooms are a good size, beds are comfortable, A/C was able to keep up with the outside temp in the 90's with no problem. The house is a short walk to the beach,. so we spent a few hours there most days which was fantastic. We took a day trip to Ocracoke. The car ferry is free, but check the schedule and arrive early. Ocrocoke village is a fun place to poke around for a few hours and has a different vibe than Hatteras. Overall, we had a wonderful time here and the house was perfect. Would love to return.

The home was beutiful and the location was great. We were a little suprisesd by the campgrounds around us but it did not effect our stay. Most things on the island were closed because of Covid 19, so I came home quite comfortable that I did not contract the virus down there..The beaches are beutiful and not crowded at all.

We will stay here again! This is a perfect location with a feel of seclusion. The house was clean and the owner responded immediately to our questions!

The house is great... but who needs that at the beach?! The beach is a 4 min walk (with kids and a wagon). It was easy and fun and perfect. You can also drive to the beach in minutes and park for free... but that wasn’t necessary. Just bring some bug spray! The mosquitos were a bit much. The property is so secluded... but you can see both beach and sound. We got to enjoy both the sun set and sun rise from our bedroom! It was so great!! The house is clean and fine... the kitchen was super stocked. We brought a few things but didn’t actually end up needing them. Rodanthe is super great... we off-roaded to secluded beaches and ate some yummy steam pots and pizza when we didn’t cook in the house. We felt safe at the house ... tho, secluded there is a trailer park next door. We never heard a peep from the people, and never saw them come outside except to do laundry on their porch. :) We would come back again for sure!
