OCEANFRONT Rodanthe — Featured in “Nights in Rodanthe” If a home could elicit 1,000 sighs, it would most certainly be INN AT RODANTHE, the iconic setting for the movie “Nights in Rodanthe” starring Richard Gere and Diane Lane, based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. While most movie sets are elusive figments of a director’s imagination, this one is real — blue shutters and all — and ready to welcome guests to their own cinematic-like dreams.
While the Atlantic’s pounding waves no longer lap at the home’s pilings (the home was physically moved to protect it from future storms), the six-bedroom/four-full and one-half-bath home still sits on a majestic oceanfront perch with pretty vistas to admire from multiple levels of outdoor decks. Staircases on two sides provide entry to the home’s first level where there is a comfortable living room with a decorative fireplace, kitchen, and dining area. Movie fans will note some of the film’s set pieces like the artful swinging kitchen doors — the owners have added some original props and whimsical touches to replicate the movie home appeal. The cavernous kitchen is well-equipped to prepare meals that can be served at the eight-seat dining room table or more intimately at a smaller charming table for two by the window. The first level also offers a wet bar, full bath, and laundry area.
Four bedrooms occupy the second level, including the famed antique-filled blue bedroom where Paul Flanner (Gere’s character) slept and another with two twins where Adrienne (Ladd’s character) recalled memories of her dad. There’s also a master king overlooking the ocean and a garden room with a queen bed. One more king bedroom is on the third level and features a kitchenette and sitting area providing a secluded hideaway with ocean view. The final tower bedroom is a king featuring ocean vistas that seem to go on forever.
While the home’s decks provide much of the film’s harrowing action, guests will find them a never-ending source of total relaxation and calming moments. Spot dolphins out at sea from Adirondack chairs or a swinging bench. Find a rocker and settle in with a good book, maybe another Nicholas Sparks novel? The lower deck sports a hot tub, ideal for a calming soak as the waves roll ashore; a screened-in porch offers an outdoor respite, protected from the elements. Ardent fans of the film will discover there are other filming locations close by to discover, but without a doubt, the stretch of private beach in front of the home will always be the main attraction. The idea of discovering second chances is what made “Nights in Rodanthe” a pretty story. Make one of your own by booking INN AT RODANTHE.

Our top Rodanthe rental booking tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect rental:

• To find the most suitable rental within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Hatteras restaurants, beaches, and activities. 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.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning, selecting, and booking the best Hatteras rental:

• First and foremost, have your family choose date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Featured in “Nights in Rodanthe”! Oceanfront w\/ Hot Tub, Screened Porch, + Grill has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available online. If not, contact the property management company before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what is suitable for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
