Our stay was great! The house has a really nice shower in the master bedroom and everything you would need in the kitchen. The house is also located on a quiet street with great places to take nice relaxing walks on the bayside and a free public beach on the oceanside.

Charming OBX Beach Bungalow in Southern Shores

NikkiRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Loved our recent stay at this beach house! The location is great, very close to the beach but felt private and secluded (on a quiet street). We drove to the beach with all our stuff, but could have also walked. No issues with finding parking at the beach, although we were here off-season in September. The house is very comfortable and had everything we needed to relax after a day at the beach (both inside and on the large deck). We grilled, had pizza delivered and drove a short distance to Duck for dinner a few nights. Had one rainy day where we enjoyed sitting in the screened in porch listening to music and playing games. Would recommend Laurie's place to anyone who enjoys charming beach houses (no bland, new build here): full of fun decorations, a spiral staircase and lots of charming personality!

MillerLight

LeaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
It was the ideal retreat for our two families, with six children ranging in age from 3 to 13. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. There was ample space for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. The location was fantastic—just under five minutes’ drive to the beach and local shops, nestled in a peaceful neighborhood surrounded by trees. It felt wonderfully private and serene. Cindy was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We were genuinely disappointed not to have booked for longer and will absolutely be returning in the future.

Beech I Told U So! New Build

RocioRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Our stay at Timothy’s place was excellent. The weather was terrible during our stay due to a tropical storm, but the beautiful house made up for the weather. Timothy has thoroughly thought of every detail in the home. It is beautifully furnished and decorated. It has a great outdoor space. There were plenty of televisions to keep everyone happy given the weather. The hot tub is frequently serviced and clean. It has a very nice outdoor tub as well. The outdoor showers are beautiful and well designed. He has hoses on every level to minimize tracking sand into the house. We felt very relaxed. We would definitely recommend Timothy’s place. Very responsive host. Timothy definitely cares about his property and the comfort of his guests. We would come back and recommend this house.

Guest favorite! 5 Star OBX Oceanfront home w/ spa!

CynthiaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
My family and I just came back from a long weekend trip at Heads Above where we celebrated my mom's 60th birthday. Darren's place was the perfect background for this special family reunion. The views are spectacular, I've stayed on ocean front properties before but Darren's places felt like we were literally on top of the water - just incredible! Darren was also very communicative and stayed in touch from the moment we booked until we left. We feel so grateful to have been able to have our family in such a special place for this special location - thank you Darren and Claudia for providing such a special place where our family could create such unforgettable memories!

BEACH BARN mp 10.5 including YMCA privileges!

JessicaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
My family loved our spring break trip to the Beach Barn. The house is in an amazing location just a short walk to the beach and lots of shops and restaurants. The central location in Nags Head is the perfect jumping off point for exploring all parts of the Outer Banks. Alison provided excellent instructions and flexibility with check-in, and was very responsive when we had a minor issue with the washing machine during our stay. The house itself has everything you would need for a beach vacation, especially with kids. There were toys, books, games, and beach supplies available. Amy kids particularly loved the Super Mario Brothers monopoly and bunk beds. Would definitely recommend!

The Relax Shack was perfect for our mini vacation with our dog! She especially loved the fully fenced yard to run in! The place was perfectly clean, and that couch was SO comfy! The house was stocked with anything we needed, and the listing was accurately advertised. The proximity to the beach, restaurants, and other things to do was perfect. The host was amazingly friendly and responsive as well. I would love to stay again!!

Colorful Beachhouse Is Only Steps to the Dune

FranceneRating, 5 stars6 months ago
While we were on our way to Arlene's house she contacted me to let me know the street and driveway were flooding due to the high waves. She said if it was too hard to get in, her husband would take us to the house in his truck. We were able to make it in but it was a very kind offer and went above and beyond! Arlene's house was comfortable with an amazing view. A lot of the beach had receded away due to storms which made walks on the beach difficult at times but the view from her decks made up for it. The only thing we could have wished for was a bit more yard with less tall prickly vines to walk our pup and to walk thru to the beach due to the driveway and road being flooded. All in all, we had a WONDERFUL time and I would come back again. Thank you Arlene for your very fast responses and offer of your husband's truck to get in! If we come back to the area we will absolutely see if your home is available again.

Your guide to Rodanthe

Welcome to Rodanthe

The windswept charm of North Carolina’s Outer Banks has long been a romantic setting for films and novels, but it’s also a popular getaway for those looking for a quiet beach retreat far from your typical spring break crowds. The northernmost town on Hatteras Island, Rodanthe is a jumping-off point for exploring Cape Hatteras National Seashore, which stretches for 70 miles along the Atlantic Ocean, and offers vacation rentals with front-row views of the natural beauty it inhabits. From your beach house, you might see dolphins frolicking in the surf or humpback whales migrating south in the winter, and it’s common to spot seals lolling about the beach when the ocean temperatures get too cool. A dangerous series of 12-mile-long sandbars, Diamond Shoals, has caused hundreds of shipwrecks in the area, making Cape Hatteras Lighthouse one of the island’s key monuments.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Rodanthe

The best time to visit the Outer Banks is March through May or September through November. Spring and fall are best to avoid crowds and get the best prices on vacation rentals. However, know that the earlier in spring you plan your trip, the more likely it is that the beach will be too cold to enjoy to its fullest. Also worth noting: Peak hurricane season in the Atlantic runs August through November, and the possibility of trip interruption is something you should consider when planning your visit to Rodanthe. While temperatures can be chilly, winter travel to Outer Banks has its perks, like an increase in wildlife to spot.


Top things to do in Rodanthe

Cape Hatteras National Seashore

America’s first designated national seashore, Cape Hatteras is home to myriad wildlife like wild mustangs and the various species of sea turtles that make their nests on the beach each year. Enjoy wildlife sightings from afar, but don’t disturb their space.

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse

The first Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was lit in 1803, then demolished when the current black-and-white-striped version opened in 1870. Standing nearly 200 feet tall, it’s the tallest brick lighthouse in the country and is open seasonally for visitors to climb the 257 steps from the ground to the balcony.

Ocracoke Island

Take the free hour-long Hatteras Ferry ride to Ocracoke Island, where you can spot 400 species of birds and 16 miles of undeveloped coastline. Getting around Ocracoke is a breeze, with no shortage of golf carts, bicycles, and even parasails to rent.
