Perfect for my husband and I. Right on the beach so location was spot on. Erosion has taken out other houses but this older cottage is still sturdy!

New Happy Place

Our trip to the Outer Banks was our first trip there ever! And not only do we fall in love with Rodanthe. We also found love with the house we rented, and our family had the most amazing time! We can’t wait to go back next year.

Cozy house right on the beach

This cute two bedroom was the perfect size for our nuclear family. The deck is perfect for drinking coffee and watching the sun rise. The house is pretty much right on the beach. At high tide the waves sometimes even come up under the house. Any closer houses are already condemned!Renting through Surf or Sound couldn’t be easier. When we arrived there was a care package with essentials we might have forgotten to bring, though I would recommend bringing a couple more hand soaps. Beach towels and shower supplies are not included. I rented a kayak but didn’t feel confident launching it into the ocean so it never got used. If you want to kayak I recommend going to one of the outfitters on the sound side.

Thank you for your fantastic 10/10 review and for the wonderful description of your stay! We're so happy to hear that your family loved the cozy feel and incredible location of the house. It's truly a special experience to be that close to the ocean, and we are glad you enjoyed the sunrises from the deck. We appreciate your feedback regarding the hand soap, beach towels, and shower supplies, and we've passed this along to our team. Your kayaking recommendation is also incredibly helpful for future guests! We are so glad that renting through Surf or Sound was easy for you, and we hope to welcome your family back to Hatteras Island again soon!

Coronavirus got us!!!!

We were not able to stay at this location because Dare County officials believed it was unsafe for « outsiders » to come onto the island. They set up checkpoints (communist blockades) to keep people out so we did not get to go. Paid for the house and finally got everything refunded back. VRBO did great in helping us. The property management company knew that the island was going to be shut down and took my money anyway. They then the next day said I couldn’t go and I couldn’t get a refund.... I didn’t get to go but made some phone calls to bank and consumer affairs and several other regulatory agencies. Hopefully one day I will make it to the outer banks. It will be with VRBO but not this Property managing company!!!!

Little slice of heaven

Lots of big new houses in area but came across this one and while not fancy, it was the perfect fit. Expansive window and deck looking onto beach just steps away. Well stocked kitchen for folks like us who like to cook, steady internet, overall perfect. Had a beautiful week and hope to return to this special home.

Great property, Management company was a total fail!

Pros: Exceptionally well furnished property right by the ocean! Thoughtful owners. The place is a delight! Cons: Dryer was not working, however, when we got there and master bathroom rug smelled of urine. Both these problems could have been easily remedied by management NEVER RESPONDED to voice mail messages amd texts. Owner should fire management agent.

Hello Michael & Leila: Thank you for your feedback and your review. While dryers do malfunction from time to time (often because of the sand), we apologize for where this fell short. Our teams are on standby to assist with any issues that might arise during your stay, and we are dismayed that you were not able to get through to our teams. That is very unusual, and we appreciate the opportunity to investigate why this may have happened! It's important that our guests can reach us. Overall, we are glad you enjoyed your stay at 390 - Anchors Away, and hope you have a wonderful holiday season. - Your Friends at Surf or Sound Realty
