Erin ruined the stay but the Property Owner as usual was more than accommodating and stayed in contact with us throughout the preceding days. We will never stay anywhere else in the OBX.

Perfect spot to relax after a busy day.

It was a great spot for my and the corgis, the folks around the area are very kind and quiet. It was a short easy walk to the beach. Couple of good spots to eat close by

My wife and I have been staying at this property for the last several years, and highly recommend it. It’s the perfect get away for a couple or small family. Beach is walking distance and there is food and shopping near by as well. If you’re looking to get away from the hustle and bustle that is Nags Head and Killy Devil Hills, Rodanthe is the only place to stay. The camper itself is well kept and fully stocked with everything you need to cook and entertain yourselves after a long day of beaching and shopping. Check this place out!

Surf trip

Enjoyed our stay. Was walking distance to the beach. The host had the camper well equipped. Was able to save money by cooking meals at the rental. Really appreciated the great selection of coffee that they provided. Price was very reasonable and I will be checking availability on the next trip up there

Great Place!

We were beyond pleased with this rental! The place is actually quite roomy - larger than I expected after looking at the photos - and SPOTLESS clean. Comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen, even a Keurig coffee maker with coffee pods and creamers. Pleasant short walk to the ocean beach. HIGHLY recommend!

Perfect Weekend Stay Option

Such a great place to stay! Short walk to the beach, dog friendly, full kitchen, and overall very clean. Showers were hot even when we did back to back showers. Check in instructions were clear, no problem finding the place. Plenty of games and DVDs in case of a rainy day. Will definitely keep this place in mind when planning another OBX vacation!
