We’ve been staying here for the last several years and realt enjoy everything about it. Jonathan has always been very communicative and friendly. The location is great if you’re looking for privacy away from the hustle and bustle of the OBX. The camper is always cleaned and well stocked with everything you’ll need for your stay. Highly recommend!!

Great experience at this property! It was the perfect size for 2 adults and a dog. The kitchen was stocked with cooking/eating utensils. Our host responded immediately and quickly came to change the propane tank for us when it ran out. Nice deck area to sit outside and have a meal or just relax. It was the perfect middle ground between the north and south side of the outer banks. We really enjoyed being able to walk to the beach for sunrise and sunset as well. The road was very quiet and we felt safe. I highly recommend staying here!

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
