This house was the perfect retreat for our mini family reunion. My daugter was so grateful for the pack and play, stoller, and toddler friendly dishes. When we weren't at the beach, we enjoyed sitting out on the back deck, relaxing in the hammock, feeding the turtles, and playing games around the table. The showers downstairs were nice for rinsing off after the beach and our granddaughter enjoyed some of the beach toys available. We also used the pier passes to catch a couple of sunrises/sunsets.
We really enjoyed our stay and loved the view out of the back of the house. The tiki bar was fun and our bed was very comfortable. Overall, we would definitely rent it again.
The house perfectly fit our needs. It was very clean and the beds were comfy. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils, dishes, skillets, etc. The included pier passes are great! We hope to stay here again.
Super relaxing vacation - super clean, well equity spacious house - great location - convenient to the beach (a few hundred yards, easy walk) and non beach activities.
This beach house is in a great location and has fun things for the beach. The layout is nice with most bedrooms on one floor and the kitchen and living room on the top floor. Great for fun days and nights!
It was our first family trip to the beach & the house had everything we needed to feel like home. The owner was quick to rectify any situations and answer questions. Close enough to walk to the beach - we are already planning the trip back!
We loved the house. Well stocked with everything you could need in the kitchen and for the beach. Kids loved the kayaks, adults loved the beautiful views from the balconies! Will definitely be coming back!
Or second year at this property did not disappoint. The weather was perfect, the fishing was great, and good times were had at the Tiki Bar! We love staying at Rodanthe Daze and will be back again for sure.
This is the best house ever rented. The owners are very forthcoming. It is close to the Beach and the area is quiet. With the de ces backyard it is perfect for families with young kids. The house is well furnished and very clean.
We had an amazing time at this house, and the owners could not have been nicer of more responsive. If you’re looking for a laid back town and neighborhood for an OBX experience, this is it. We loved going to the pier fishing and hanging out in the Tiki Bar in the evening. We will definitely be back next year, maybe sooner!!
The home was perfect for our week vacation. It is very clean. Communicate was great with the renter. The house was ready early. We will definitely be back.
This house was perfect for us. The location near the pier and places to eat. We really enjoyed the view from the back decks. We could watch the fish in the pond and enjoyed a bit of fishing. Our bed was comfortable and the kitchen was great with wonderful windows all over the top floor. We will return.
We had a blast staying at the beautiful Rodanthe Daze. The house had plenty of room for us and more. We enjoyed being able to sit at the table together
for dinner or chill around the big flatscreen for a movie. It was easy to get to the beach from the house with many beach items available for use including a cart to help tote your things. Highly recommend this place and we hope to return!
Our family had a great time despite hurricane Debbie’s rain and wind everyday. We managed to catch some cloudy breaks a few days enough to enjoy the beach. The short walk to beach and pier with the beach cart was my favorite part. We were also able to take a few walks on the beach at night. We also loved the balcony views of canal and saw lots of turtles and jumping fish. You can see the sounds side and the ocean from the back of house also. We dined at Watermen’s. It was pretty good with a nice view of sound side and pier you can walk out on. We would definitely stay here again.
The house was perfect! Kitchen fully stocked, comfortable beds and great location. We walked to the pier nightly. Our 4 year old enjoyed the arcade at the pier. The house has a fenced in yard in back which is good for the littles to play in yard safety. Under the house has good hangout spot. The added bathroom on ground floor was nice to have. A wonderful stay overall. Excited to go back next year.

Perfect home, great location
We stayed in this home with a group of 7 adults and 1 baby for two nights. The house is in a great location - an easy walk to the beach. The owner was wonderful - he met us at the house and answered all of our questions. The house was very clean and even better than advertised on vrbo. There was a pack n' play and high chair for our baby. We would definitely stay in this house again!
We went to Waterman's for dinner one night - it's about a mile and a half from the house. It was delicious!
Beautiful area and property. Highly recommend. We will use again
What a beautiful place. The check in process was a breeze. The owner was fantastic to work with. The property was well kept and the perfect location. We enjoyed walking down to the beach every day and sitting in the deck in the evening. There was a road closure that delayed our departure and the owner couldn't have been better to work with. Next time we return to OBX we will return to this property as it had everything that my family and in laws need. 7 of us with different needs and and interests and something for each. Board games, TV's in each room, a kayak, tiki bar, bikes and walking distance to so many things. Best place to have peace and enjoy the beauty around you. Highly recommend.
Rodanthe days is a wonderful property. It is literally a 3 minute walk to the ocean in one direction and a three minute walk to the bay in the other direction. Sunrise and sunsets. The property has 2 kyaks which we made use of,along with a beach wagon to haul stuff to the beach. The house was spotless, a tv in every room,but the remotes were a bit confusing. The kitchen is well equipped, the tiki bar is a great hangout spot,especially after using the smoker/grill. Would definitely return to this property. The host is very acomidating and responded to any questions I had within a very short time.
The pictures were accurate. House was clean. Host was responsive. The location was good. Not much was updated, but everything worked.
The double deck in back is undersold by the pics. You can see the ocean and the sound from the top level.
Walking to the beach was easy (~10 min with young kids/gear). Drive there in 1 minute with a complimentary parking pass.
We like the area, despite the erosion on the beach and some shops being closed down. We had a great week.
There was some toddler gear- a high chair and a baby gate and a pack'n'play stashed in one bedroom closet.
However, if you're coming with smaller kids, the house isn't thoroughly toddler proof. Watch for loose posts on the deck railings, and wiley screws sticking up here or there.
