WAVES LANDING BEACH COTTAGE
Beverly is so sweet! She gave us so many recommendations and always answered quickly. Not only that but she makes you feel like you are talking to a friend. Her house is beautiful whether you want a quick walk to the beach or to sit on the dock, listen to the sound and watch the sunset or see the stars. There’s a sidewalk right off the driveway that is well paved and makes for amazing walks. Overall her and her house made our trip amazing!!

Oceanfront Toes In The Sand Rodanthe NC
We had a great stay at Toes in the Sand. It was even better than pictured. I was originally worried from the photos that maybe you couldn’t see the ocean from the main living floor, but you absolutely can see the ocean from nearly everywhere in the house. It’s lovely. Such a charming house, quiet, beautiful beach, and near enough to groceries, gas, and anything else you’d need. Also, had a great Oceanside dinner at Fish Heads <30 min north! Thank you for a great stay, Alex.

Waterfront Cottage With 180 Degree Views!!
We didn’t want to leave! The Albermarle Sound views don’t get any better than this! With the home’s back deck facing due North, both the sun rises and sunsets were completely visible and amazing! We loved opening the back door and listening to the lapping waves as we relaxed in the cozy chaise lounge and big leather couch. The open floor plan allows for water views throughout the entire main living space. The furniture is super comfy, and the decor is wonderfully eclectic! The kitchen was well stocked with every cooking utensil you need. The friendly neighborhood is very walkable. One word of caution: the front door opens to the master bathroom and bedroom. If vacationing here with anyone other than your significant other, you would want to make arrangements/have an understanding that the individuals staying in the 2nd bedroom would enter through the back door. We would definitely stay here again!

"DownWinder” Oceanfront Retreat
Diane’s place was very clean, nicely decorated and as advertised. The deck and stairs to the beach were great and outdoor shower/foot faucet helped keep the home clean. Her home is within walking distance to restaurants and entertainment as well as a quiet place to relax. I highly recommend Diane’s place. We will definitely return. Thanks Diane!

NEW soundfront home 360 Water Views Private Beach
Kite's Inn was exactly as advertised and more. The home is beautiful, well-furnished, and the kitchen was well-equipped. We loved the location with great views of the Pamlico Sound. The House was ideal for pets and small children. The grass yard allowed our dogs to play outside and to swim in the Sound without having to worry about stepping on burs and the beach was ideal for our 1 1/2 year old grand child. The house is easy walking distance to nearby attractions and restaurants. Joshua is a great host who was responsive and proactive with ideas when we had a rainy day.

New 2 Bedroom w 5 Beds | Walk to Beach/Pool/Tennis
The place was as described, a short walk to the beach and across the street from real watersports. The small grocery on the block was unexpectedly excellent.

*Renovated* Seaside: 5BR Escape near Rodanthe Pier
Some silverware and plates were dirty, other than that house/host was perfect. Had plenty of space, floor plan was well thought of and amenities were nice. Proximity to beach was top notch and pool/ hot tub were as well. Would definitely return or recommend! Host was responsive and friendly!

FAIR WINDS of Rodanthe-Walk to Pier+Dogs Welcome!
Gia was an excellent host and her place was everything we hoped for and more. Some of the most beautiful ocean views in the area and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. We’ve already recommended her to some of our closest friends…and now to you also!

Your Oceanfront Oasis Awaits You! Walk In Shower!
This listing is an unbeatable location - literally on the beachfront. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrise over the ocean each day from the large sliding glass door windows in the bedroom. The morning light is awesome. We were entertained by merely sitting on the comfortable balcony watching the sea life (dolphins!) and the shore birds, the boats, the beach walkers and wind surfers. So peaceful in April. The place is well appointed, just as described in the listing, and the host is responsive. We appreciated all of the information provided by the host for restaurants and local attractions. The location is excellent for access to many food and entertainment options, but is just far enough from the "main drag" to feel private and quiet. If we should pass this way again, we will look no further for accommodations - for we have found "our place" in the Outer Banks.

Rum-D.C.A 600 ft to Beach, w/ Hot Tub and Backyard
My family came here for spring break and spent 4 nights at the house. The house was clean and inviting and my kids loved that they had the upstairs bedrooms to themselves. Dan was extremely responsive when I messaged him with questions and the hot tub was perfect due to the spotty weather we experienced. We had a great time!

Luxury Treehouse with spa deck close to beach
Had a great time! The house was beautiful and was in a cute area. Not as walkable as we hoped with the main road but was super easy to drive. Really great local activity and food recommendations that we used all week!

Sandcastle By The Sea
We just got back today. This home is absolutely perfect for a quiet getaway. Sit on the couch, at the dining table, wake up in bed, wash dishes….wherever you are in this home, you will have an ocean view!!!!!!! Richard was very responsive and attentive. We travel down to OBX 2x a year and this will definitely be the place we stay! Rodanthe has that small town feel and just perfect for those that do not want to be around the crowds. Step right off the deck and onto the sand. Walk the beach and enjoy the sounds and views. Sunrise, sunsets? You get both in this home from every room! We loved our stay and will be back this fall!

Waterfront studio with sound views!
We enjoyed our stay at Nikki’s apartment very much. The space is very clean, inviting and had all the amenities listed on the description. The photos are accurate and reflect the second floor apartment well. We like to cook a few meals while traveling and found all the pots, pans and utensils we needed in the kitchen. New appliances are also available. It is located in a peaceful, quiet and safe neighborhood. Nikki and her husband were friendly and available if needed. Would definitely consider returning again.

Stylish Oceanfront 70s A-Frame, Fully Renovated
The house was exactly as pictured and as I’d hoped for and it served the needs of my group perfectly! It’s a lovely place. I’d rent this place again.

The Round House-Unique Escape by the Sea w/Hot Tub
the dome is located in an absolutely beautiful & peaceful beach town. the home itself is very tastefully designed and just such a cool spot. we were a group of 5 adults and were worried it'd be a bit tight, but it didn't feel like that at all. the space is used super well, and there's so much to do. first time in obx and staying here was a huge highlight of our trip :)

Cool Beans Beach House (Unit A)
Perfect for beach week! 4 of us stayed there for about 5 days and it was amazing. Jake was incredibly responsive, flexible, and personable to communicate with, the place was kept super clean and very aesthetically pleasing. My biggest priority was affordability and for what we paid, Jake knocked it out of the park! Amazing amenities (the hot tub and Foosball were a crowd favorite) and so close to the beach!

Oceanfront Nags Head Beach House - with extras!
We have stayed in lots of Airbnb’s and this is my favorite! The house was spotless. It is decorated beautifully… and comfortably. It looks like a better homes and gardens beach house. Clearly Carrie pays attention to details. The kitchen is very well stocked. She even provided a new sponge for dishes. The views are fantastic and the access to the beach was so much fun. Carrie has lots of games, a myriad of books, and toys for kids. The house felt homey and so comfortable. We had a wonderful family trip!

3 Bedrooms w/Hot👙Tub & Fire🔥Pit, Dogs🦮Welcome
Great convenient location, easy to travel up north or down south. Public beach access is a short walk. Plenty of space and dog friendly, great yard surrounded by trees which provide some privacy. Hot tub was peaceful and nice fun quiet area despite being right off main road. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend!!!

Blue Moon - LUX Oceanfront Pool, Hot Tub, Theater!
Amazing house, great location and everything that was promised. The house was easy to access and Josh was very responsive to any questions we had. The house was beautiful and clean. The outdoor area and pool were great for relaxing and enjoying the weather. Quick walk to the beach. Would love to stay here again next year. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The house was spotless and perfectly maintained. Everything was just as promised in the listing.

Prime Oceanfront OBX home guest-favorite & hot tub
We visited the Home in Rodanthe in April of 2025. Coming from upstate NY we were just excited to get a little sunshine. What we got was a whole lot better! The views from almost every window were stunning, and there was more than enough space in the house for my mother, my grandparents and myself along with our dogs. Darren was great! He was very speedy with his communication and helping us with what we needed along the way. 5 Star hosts!

Semi-oceanfront with HOT TUB, steps to beach!
We had a wonderful stay at this beach Airbnb! The place was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed — from kitchen supplies to beach gear. It’s in a peaceful, quiet location, perfect for relaxing, with beautiful views from the deck. The hot tub was a perfect bonus on the chillier early summer days we saw. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, well-stocked, and serene getaway!

Swan’s Nest, Oceanfront (now pet friendly)
What a wonderful place to stay! All around such a great spot for some time at the beach! Everything is exactly as described. With the incredibly easy walk to the beach, seriously breathtaking views all around, convenient location to restaurants/shops and great communication from the host, I couldn’t recommend this place more! You won’t regret booking here. We can’t wait to come back!

Couples Retreat | Soaker Tub + Beach Cruisers
Jonathan place is incredible! He has thought of everything. Very helpful! I asked about a blender and he bought one for the place. The bath is incredible! I will be staying here the next time I’m here! My cousins live in the area and they loved it too.

DuckUtopia-Pool/HotTub/Private Dock/0.3mi to Beach
My family absolutely loved this gorgeous place!!! Great location, great amenities, and very responsive host. We’d book again in a heatbeat!

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.
