World class surfing, fishing, and kite boarding. The home is 60 feet from the beach. The view is exceptional! House rents Sunday to Sunday only.

Sip your drink and appreciate the majestic view of the ocean from the deck of Anna’s Beach Cottage. Forget something in the home after walking down to the beach, not a problem. Our home is only steps away from the ocean.

When entering our home, you will be awakened by the colors of shells and the ocean. Our main living area is a place to sit back and soak up the view. We know that eating out is fun but sometimes it’s equally fun to relax and stay in with family and friends after a full day at the beach. Our home is entirely equipped with kitchen gear to make cooking a breeze.

The bedrooms are all comfortably furnished making for a great nighttime’s sleep. We even have a portable crib and high chair for the little ones.

So savor the beauty of the Outer Banks from one of the best vistas you can get….from Anna’s Beach Cottage. Our home is fondly named after my great grandmother, Anna, from Vietri Sul Mare in Italy.

one king bed
one queen bed

We are located on Hatteras Island in the modest fishing village of Rodanthe. We are 30 mins. south of Nags Head. Hatteras Island is a fisherman's heaven. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore continually makes the top ten beaches in the United States.

Surfing and Kite Boarding...

Rodanthe is the east coast surfing and kite boarding capital. You can effortlessly watch the surfers from our deck. If you like kite boarding, you have arrived. The Pamlico Sound is a great spot to board, or even in the ocean if you're an expert. Hatteras Island is a barrier island off the coast of North Carolina which makes our island a narrow one. You can see the Pamlico Sound from our deck and take in a sunset.

History....

If you're a history buff, you will certainly enjoy your visit here. Our coast is called the "Graveyard of the Atlantic" because of the many shipwrecks over the years. The coast is difficult to navigate, therefore, the first coast guard station is located right down the road from us..Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station. You can also drive 30 mins. south on Route 12 to the village of Buxton and climb the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The outer banks has multiple lighthouses to visit. There is a museum on shipwrecks and pirates (Blackbeard) in Hatteras village. There are many artifacts in the outer banks from shipwrecks. The outer banks is also well known for the first flight of the Wright Brothers over the giant sand dunes at Jockey's Ridge. The Wright Brothers Memorial is a landmark for aviation history.

Nature and Bird Watching....

Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge is a ten min. drive from our home. It's refuge for local and seasonal birds. There is a ranger on staff during business hours. They have nature hikes and discussions throughout the season. This area is known for sea turtle rescue. There are often sightings of loggerheads and other turtles.

Fishing...

Oregon Inlet Fishing center is the hub of fishing charters. The Oregon Inlet connects the sound with the Atlantic Ocean. Charters are trendy because the gulfstream is only a few miles from the inlet. On some days you might even see the shrimp boats coming in when you cross over the Bonner Bridge. Charters are available all year round. The fishing center is a great place to go around 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. and watch the fishermen bring in their catch for the day.

Kid's Stuff....

Of course there's our great beach, but if you want to venture out...there are other things to do. You can take the kids to the sound side where it's very shallow with little waves. The incline into the water is very gradual which is fun for the kids. North Carolina Aquarium is 30 mins. away in the town of Manteo. There are also modest amusement areas 30 mins. north of us which have miniature golf and go carts.

Dining...

If you are looking for a Burger King or McDonalds, you will be disappointed. Our eateries serve local fish and cuisine and are operated by the locals. Fresher fish would be hard to find. There are places to go out for breakfast and dinner very close to our home if you do not want to prepare.

Additional information:

Our home is located on our lot on a 45 degree angle which makes the view from the front window marvelous.

We have an broad DVD collection too.

Tips for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your Hatteras vacation home in Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Hatteras area visitor guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• To start, have your family choose dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Anna's Beach Cottage Ocean front Home in the OBX has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property manager before booking the rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a excellent time? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
