Message in a Bottle is a handsome oceanfront property in the Village of Rodanthe on Hatteras Island. Feel the adventure of a lifetime in this unique oceanfront beach home. With the ocean just steps from your door, closer at high tide, your family is sure to savor the calming sounds of the waves as you drift off to sleep. Wash your cares away with beautiful sunrises in the morning and cool ocean breezes in the evening. Awaken to the sounds of birds looking for their catch and appreciate watching dolphins playing just offshore. Savor your morning coffee on the oceanfront deck before heading off to search for treasures while strolling along the beach.

Recently entirely modernized inside, the top level at Message in a Bottle features a breakfast bar and dining area, which can be prepared in the completely supplied, gourmet kitchen! Appreciate some streaming entertainment on one of the home’s new Intelligent TVs, deal a hand of cards at the card table while watching the spectacular sunset vistas, sip a cool drink on the sundeck or just curl up with a good book in the loft area. For your convenience, there is also a half bath located on this level.

When you are ready for that downtime, the first level offers four bedrooms to choose from: a queen en suite with private bath and an oceanfront deck; a queen bedroom with a semi-private bath that includes a Jacuzzi tub and separate shower; another queen bedroom; and a pyramid bunk with a trundle bedroom that also has a private deck.

The water activities in the Rodanthe area are countless with swimming, surfing, and fishing available on the ocean side, and kiteboarding, kayaking, paddleboarding and more on the sound side. Guests at this property can enjoy public access to Pamlico Sound or play a match of tennis on the public courts.

Message in a Bottle has had broad remodeling, including interior paint throughout, new furnishings, appliances and accessories, linens, beds, a new hot tub, and new beachy decor. New Intelligent TVs with upgraded WiFi too!

Please note Message in a Bottle will feature a charcoal park style grille in 2025. The gas grille will no longer be offered.

How to book the best Rodanthe vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

  • June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Rodanthe. To get the largest vacation home within budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Hatteras attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
  • In the Hatteras area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
  • Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
  • Property management companies usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
  • Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

  • Begin by selecting your a vacation week and a budget.
  • Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Oceanfront Home in Rodanthe w\/ Panoramic Views & Hot Tub has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
  • Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property owner before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what bed configuration is best for your vacation.
  • If there's an individual Hatteras attraction you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
  • Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
  • Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Know before you go:

  • Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
  • Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of concerns.
  • Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
  • Lock your rental while you're away. Keep your property safe!
  • On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from 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 great time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
