Perfect getaway

Nice quiet vacation just close enough to the beach. The pool and hot tub were perfect. Exactly as described, we were all sad to leave

Annual Family Beach Vacation

We had a great vacation at Atlantic Dreams in Rodanthe! The communication during the rental process was good and without issues.The house was great and a very short and easy walk to the beach. We were able to enjoy the beach easily as it suited our schedule. The views of the beach and sound were so nice. The pool was was great as well and gave us opportunities to enjoy the sun or cool off between our walks to the beach. We enjoyed the game room with the pool table and the theater room. Our 11 year old learned to play pool was really cute good. The house had everything we needed for our stay. We we cooked all of meals there except for one pizza night. We appreciated the quality of the towels and sheets. You don't always get that with a rental and we were quite comfortable. We contacted the host once when our internet went down for a few hours. Amy was responsive, filled us in and updated us--the internet was down on the whole island but it was restored fairly quickly. We have never stayed this far south on the Outer Banks but we really enjoyed it and would definitely stay at Atlantic Dreams again.

Wonderful condo, amazing location!

We have loved our stay in this condo! It exceeded our expectations. The view is of course spectacular, but the condo itself was also spacious, bright and very comfortable. It is a quick walk to the beach and pool and it was great that we were able to have a shower to rinse off outside, and leave our sandy beach things on the ground flour in a storage closet. The communications with the property managers were easy, friendly and fast. We will definitely be back!

Exceptional service

This was a clean, bright, and very well-appointed condo. But what set it apart, aside from being oceanfront, was the politeness and professionalism of the associates who not only answered all of our questions but ensured that we were pleased with the rental after we encountered a minor maintenance issue. They even followed up after we had checked out, to close the loop on the maintenance request, which is something most other agencies would not do. I would highly recommend working with this rental agency.
