Beach Bliss!

The home was exactly as listed. The layout is perfect with plenty of space inside and out. It was very clean and well kept. We used a local company that delivers and picks up beach chairs, beach umbrella and beach cart. This was a great way to haul everything back and forth to the beach.

Excellent experience again

This is the 3rd time my family has stayed at this house as it never disappoints! The house has plenty of space and most everything you'd need for your trip. We especially enjoyed the pool this year as it was so hot and the pool was so refreshing. It is so close to the beach (1-2 min walk), so you can go down to the ocean for a bit and back to the house when you need a break from the sun. The decks are wonderful and we enjoyed the views. Overall, I would recommend this house for location, amenities, the awesome owners, and affordability. Thanks for another great stay!

Recommend!

Island Time was just as great as all of the other reviews stated! Quiet location close to the beach, and convenient to grocery shopping for your week's needs. The house is clean, well decorated, and the beds are comfortable. Probably the most well-equipped kitchen I've seen in a house that size. Steve was super-responsive to messages, and had our one minor issue resolved within an hour. Absolutely recommend!

We arrived a little early and contacted Steve via VIRBO and he informed us that the property had been cleaned and allowed us to start our vacation before check in time. This is huge if you have two young kids who have been in the car for a long trip. One of the hot tub deck steps came loose and he had it fixed the next morning. I would say reviews of the house from previous guests were accurate and if youā€™re looking for a quiet beach house, this is a good one. There are great ocean views on most of the deck. The pool was pretty private and provided a nice spot for everyone to hang out. There were three adults and two children on our trip and we felt that we had plenty of room. If Iā€™m ever back in Rodanthe, I would book this house again.

My family vacationed at this property in Rodanthe for a week. We were looking for something that was pet friendly, with a pool and close to the beach. This property checked all those boxes PLUS had a hot tub! Lots of porch space for the dogs, we loved the screened in porch area and even had food and water bowls for the dogs there. We did bring our own crates as the property didnt have any, but the rooms are spacious enough for a XL crate. The pool was great and has tons of extra floats and accessories. Pool area was fenced in so the dogs could hang with us there too. Very short walk to the beach and pier. Property has lots of parking. The porch swing was nice and theres a table downstairs for outside eating. Has a charcoal grill and fish cleaning station. Upstairs porch gives a great sunset view of the sound. There were 7 of us who stayed comfortably at this home. We will definitely book here again when staying in Rodanthe.

Even though this location is technically not on the ocean; it sure feels like it. We loved sitting on the deck watching and hearing the waves crash on shore. The kids were in the pool twice a day. Beds were comfortable; kitchen is recently updated and has newer appliances and well stocked with silverware and plates for our family. Steve was very good with communicating and answering questions.

Nice houseā€¦sofa was in need of a good cleaning but not unexpected in a property that allows pets. Beautiful and well-stocked kitchen.

Hi Julie, Thank you for your nice review and input. We have arranged for a couch cleaning this week. We've considered replacing the couch but have refrained since it is so comfortable.
