Fishing all the time
My husband and son only care about fishing. This house was the perfect location. From the pond in the backyard to the pier down the street, I don’t think either one of them ever set their fishing poles down.

Perfect Getaway
We loved the location! Having the fishing pier within walking distance was GREAT! The cottage was very comfortable. I didn’t feel like I was at pricey DON’T touch that type of place. If we had more than the 3 of us , seating would have been tricky. Only a couch and a rocking chair but in all honesty how much time do you spend inside anyway? The hot tub was such a threat bonus! Outdoor shower is so fun to have! It was a cute basic home away from home and that was WINDERFUL for us!

Good Enough
It was farther from the beach than we anticipated and the cottage needs some general repair work done. There wasn't anywhere for us to put our food when we bought it from the store and the closets are filled with all sorts of stuff that prevent you from being able to stash your luggage away. There are no overhead lights in the bedrooms but that really only effects older people like us. I guess overall you're just supposed to be happy that you got to stay at the beach for a couple of days. The weather was awesome and the little mini concerts on the Rhodante Peir were fun.

Location close to beach / pier. House needs some TLC…vents had black dust blown out along paint. AC stopped working / froze over and needed a full day to defrost and get fixed which were essentially the 2 full days we were there (not incl arrival/depart days). At night heater made burning smell and set off smoke detector at 2am. All fixed the day before we left. Hot tub was very nice. Some light bulbs were out / not checked before arrival

Don’t Bother With this place. Stay somewhere/anywhere else
Roaches, Mold and Filthy is how I would summarize this rental. We left a day early because we could not sleep another night with one eye opened watching out for roaches. The pictures for this rental are from years ago. The couch was gross. It needs replaced or a cover put over it. It would only take some repairs and a deep cleaning after extermination of the roaches. To make this rental worth renting. We loved the location but could not take the gross factor.

Great Stay at the Cozy Cottage by the Sea
Overall excellent, we prefer smaller homes and this one was perfect for the 3 of us adults. Well stocked with more than enough of what we needed, nice to have a washer/dryer, very comfortable beds, clean, cozy, and we spent every day in the jacuzzi, the extra added bonus that made our stay extra special. The one problem we had was a rude neighbor who installed an extremely bright spotlight pointed directly at our beach house which ruined our enjoyment of the front porch and jacuzzi at night time. It lit up four houses and the whole street and kept blinking off and on, the neighbors spotlights were an extreme annoyance, however this wasn't the fault of our hosts, we just wish neighbors would be more courteous and realize bright spotlights are horribly irritating. We wish the neighbors would be more conscientious of those around them, but other than that we enjoyed our stay very much and would stay again.

Do not recommend
This place is trash. While it was properly equipped with toiletries (which I appreciated) that was about the only thing this place has going for it. It was infested with cockroaches, all over INSIDE the house. The shower curtain was covered with mold, and the water in the shower cut in and out all the time. The air conditioner unit leaked and spit water everywhere within the house which made the house smell and feel damp all the time. The glass sliding door didn’t lock. Instead, they put a wooden pole on the tracks to “prevent” it from being opened. I was absolutely disgusted to the point that we left a day early. The pictures of this place are very deceiving. I certainly will not be renting this place again, and I don’t recommend it to anyone else!

The property was a fair price for a small group. The house was sized perfectly for a small group. The location, was a 10 minute walk to the shore. The house came with a free week pass to Rodanthe Fishing pier, which I used every day.
Only really knock, there seems to be a slight ant issue with the house, not terrible, but it's still there.

Rodanthe vacation
Overall we were very satisfied with the property. One night the breaker blew and the power went out. I contacted the after hours phone number and was told someone would call me that evening. We had no idea where the breaker box was located. Nobody ever called that evening, It was very frustrating as we had 4 kids with us and could not be without power. It took us awhile to locate the breaker but we were able to eventually. The next morning about 830 am a gentleman stopped by checking on us from the prior evening phone call. We did not have any issues after that night.
I would recommend providing a clothes basket for renters' use. It would have came in very handy having 4 children on vacation with us.

The property was not clean. Dirty dishes in cupboards. No dishwasher soap. Had to wash everything before we could use it including silverware. All three of us were itching after sitting on couch and chair. Bought vinyl tablecloths to cover couch and chair so we could use them. As a group we decided we would not use this rental company again.

Great proximity to the beach but…
Pros: location was perfect! Beach access was less than a 5 min walk. It made it easy to just carry beach items to and from with ease; The hot tub was great. Great position, you can really feel the ocean breeze which makes it very comfortable at night. Kitchen was nicely stocked plenty of pots, pans, etc.This house is a cottage so when you are cooking, it heats up fast so just be aware of this. We had to adjust the thermostat a couple of times because of this. Cons: Unfortunately this house has roaches. Small and big ones. We saw at least 3 while we were there. We thought it was a one off but we kept seeing them. We killed two but could not find the other one. We woke up to one almost in the bed. We called the office that morning and made them aware and they said they would send out pest control but they did not come. This was very troubling. They said it’s because the temperature was changing but we have stayed in various houses in the area over the years during this time frame because it’s my birthday week and we have never saw any roaches. Never!
Also, the pictures are not updated! We chose this house because it appeared that no other houses were close. With COVID, this was a big sell; however, when we arrived we realized that this was a packed neighborhood and there are two houses being built right beside this house. One night they were outside working until 9p.
This was our first time staying here but it will probably be our last. We really enjoyed the beach access being so close and overall loved the feel of the house, but with the bugs and poor response to the situation, I doubt we will rent this house again!
