About this property

Steps from the ocean in the Outer Banks - New Hot Tub, Deck & Dog Run!

"Sea Winds" is the perfect family/dog friendly getaway just steps away from the ocean and Rodanthe Pier. Wake up and sip coffee to dolphins swimming in the picturesque sunrises right outside your window! Our brand new deck, hot tub and outdoor shower are welcoming additions to an already cozy home. Stroll along the unforgettable beaches of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, take a surf lesson, fish off the pier or just enjoy the breathtaking views of sunrises over the Atlantic and sunsets over the Pamlico Sound. Don’t miss this charming cottage - a rare find centrally located on the OBX.

Serene and cozy 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom beach box a stone’s throw from the ocean with full access to the Rodanthe Pier and the pristine beaches of Rodanthe. Smart TVs throughout, a large, counter-height dining room table (perfect for family meals and board games!), and a beautiful, ocean-facing deck are all part of the stay here. Gas BBQ, an outdoor shower, hot tub, full array of beach gear, and plenty of beach chairs make the outdoor area a big extension of the house. Your pup will feel right at home with a fully fenced brand new dog run just a few feet from the deck. Our cozy house is the perfect spot for your dog-friendly, family-family vacation on the Outer Banks! Enjoy life under the stars and string lights in Rodanthe!

A little piece of paradise barefoot Vacay

We stayed in this adorable beach house that was so thoughtfully designed. The view from the deck, looking out over the Atlantic and the pier, was just stunning. It was the perfect place to kick back and relax.One of the best parts was definitely the hot tub – it added a touch of luxury to our trip. Plus, the outdoor shower was such a fun daily treat. We enjoyed every moment of our stay, spending the week in barefoot bliss at this little paradise.If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend staying at this beach house. It's a dream location that gave us some unforgettable memories.

Holiday Getaway

Beautiful, clean, roomy home steps to the beach. Started the week with warmer weather and days playing in the waves and collecting shells, ended the week with chilly weather and soaking in the hot tub. Steps from the beach to watch the sunrise every morning. Everything we needed was provided. Enjoyed every second of our stay at this beautiful home. Cannot recommend Sea Winds enough.

Cutest little beach house in Rodanthe!

This house checked all the boxes for our family of 5! The deck was awesome to hang out and watch the sunset and we all enjoyed the hot tub after our days exploring and beaching! It was very clean and there was a great little basket of snacks and a bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival. Communication was great, appreciated the recommendations given for food spots etc. and we loved that the check out was easy. Such a great spot, literally steps from the beach and the shed had everything needed for a day at the beach. We just wish we could have spent more time here, highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Charles Walls

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

Rodanthe is a charming, "way it used to be" village on the north end of Hatteras Island - a glimpse back to a quieter time, but still close enough to the shops and restaurants of Manteo and Nags Head to make those rainy days (they do happen!) tolerable. We love the sense of community and small-town charm that Rodanthe offers and we know that you will too!

What makes this property unique

There is a magical "charm" about Sea Winds OBX that everyone who stays here feels - located steps from the ocean, it's easy to relax hearing the surf break or watching the sun rise. The house is perfect for one family - all on one level, not overbearingly huge, and just plain comfortable.
