Perfect getaway

This property is tucked away off of the main road and offers plenty of privacy. We brought our own groceries and remained at the house for the majority of the time-everything we needed was right there. The pool was wonderful, the hottub was perfect for those chilly nights. The view is breathtaking-you could literally fall asleep listening to the waves on the hammock. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay!

OBX Getaway

This rental has everything you need for a wonderful getaway to OBX. The hosts, Erika and Casey are very helpful and quick to respond to any inquiry or need. The rental is conveniently close to the beach and nearby fishing pier. Additionally, there are plenty of restaurants and food options in the vicinity. The layout of the house and rooms make it very accommodating for large groups. The beds are extremely comfortable and the rental has all the necessary amenities to make your stay relaxing and carefree. The pool and hot tub are a great way to chill out after a long day adventuring or at beach. Would definitely recommend this rental for your next OBX trip!

We’ll be back

We arrived on a sweltering hot day to find the house in excellent condition and the AC to already have the house in perfectly cooled temperatures. We were so impressed with its cleanliness, and how well stocked it was for our family upon arrival. Each and every one of the bedrooms reported how comfortable the mattresses were. Great location where you can view and hear the ocean from the deck as well as the sound. Lastly, we were granted late checkout which made our day traveling and absolute enjoyable experience. We noticed all the extra little details the hosts put into this house to make our stay amazing!

Good location, quiet area

Really nice part of the islands, much quieter and less developed than the more northern stretches. It's a fairly short walk to the beach and the sound. The pool was clean and nice in the afternoon (a bit chilly at night!). The house itself is nice, the outdoor bath and shower was very handy. Water pressure was not great but that's probably the water supply and not the house. The house overall was clean and in good shape save a few bits of wear typical of a rental house. We were comfortable and it was a nice space to hang out. An electronic lock would be a nice upgrade, I was paranoid about losing the only house key the whole time. This is a great place to get away from things a bit but be aware that the dining options are a bit few on this part of the island. There were some nicer options down in Avon where we ate several times.

Good but not great

We loved the Rodanthe/Waves location on OBX. My teens & I explored OBX with day excursions, surfing, horseback riding, & fishing charters. We also enjoyed several lazy days with swimming, biking, & of course local fishing. (The boys caught & released a shark!) But… At the 1,000 per day price point I anticipated a closer proximity to the beach, (it’s not steps from the beach), the primary bedroom was lacking, along with the primary bathroom. All in all we enjoyed our vacation.

Love the house and location!

This is our 2nd time staying here and certainly not our last! The owners go above and beyond to accommodate and make sure the stay is a good one! The house is always spotless, the remodel they’ve done is perfect, and the location to everything is central and still gives the “private” feel at the same time! Absolutely love this property.

Great place to stay in the Outer Banks

We had a very good time at Casey and Ericka's home. The house was clean, nicely finished, and close to the beach which was helpful with two children. Kids loved the air hockey table and the hot tub was great at the end of the day. The owners were extremely responsive. We had an issue with the air conditioner Sunday afternoon and they were able to have someone come by within a couple of hours to fix the problem. Would happily go back in the future.

Great first time with family in the Outer Bank

We really enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed the low key town of Rodanthe and the beautiful beaches. The house was very clean, and more than enough space for our family of 5. Kids enjoyed going in the pool, and all of the amenities of the home. My husband I really enjoyed sitting out on the decks watching the sunrise and beautiful sunsets. It was a very relaxing family vacation!

Can not be happier with this property

We were the lucky family to rent after a full renovation. Loved every details in this house. The owners had definitely put a lot of through into make the home as convenient as possible for the guests. We went there early June, the water was a little cold but gets comfortable almost immediately after you get in, there's a volleyball net in the yard, owners provided badminton and volleyball. The house is a very short walk to the beach which wasn't crowded at all in early June. Everything is super clean, very comfortable. location is very convenient too. Very sad to leave.
