Welcome to Rose Cottage, a picture-ideal getaway just steps from the Atlantic in the town of Rodanthe. The semi-oceanfront location offers guests a marvelous view and convenient access to the beach, just 100 feet from the home. Thoughtful details and updates throughout combine for a unique blend of modern finishes and classic coastal appeal. Family Animals are welcome at Rose Cottage, so your fur babies can join you on the dog-friendly beaches of Hatteras Island.

A traditional wrap-around porch on the main level is the ideal place to relax in the shade while admiring the ocean view and appreciating the salty breeze. Inside, the ocean view continues from the cavernous great room with plenty of seating and a comfortable electric fireplace. The open-concept layout with sightlines from front to back makes the main level an ideal space for gathering. Prepare meals in the freshly refreshed kitchen with stainless steel appliances and elegant granite countertops. A sun deck just off the dining area is the ideal place to soak up some Vitamin D. Back inside, LVP and tile floor flow throughout this entire pet-friendly home, ideal for sandy feet and paws returning from the beach. All three bedrooms are located upstairs, including the primary. This king suite is attached to a semi-private bath with walk-in shower. Two queen bedrooms will comfortably accommodate family and friends, who can also utilize the second full bathroom on the main level. Bed and bath linens are always supplied at no additional charge, and the beds will be made with fresh sheets and pillowcases prior to your arrival.

From fishing and crabbing to swimming and surfing, the possibilities for around-the-clock outdoor adventure and memory-making are countless. After a day of fun in the sun, head back to the home for a fast rinse in the outdoor shower before preparing the catch of the day at the fish cleaning station.

The cozy coastal village of Rodanthe is the ideal setting for a laid back, slower-paced vacation while still having amenities and dining options close by. If you need a break from the beach, take a trip back in time at the Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station Museum. Embrace your inner angler at the Hatteras Island Fishing Pier, or appreciate the other side of the island with a variety of watersport activities in the Pamlico Sound.

Please note that the daily effects of winds, waves, tides and storms have contributed to coastal erosion impacts at Cape Hatteras National Seashore, particularly adjacent to the villages of Rodanthe and Buxton. The effects of erosion in these towns result in dynamic and unpredictable changes to the dune line, which may unexpectedly affect beach access. Guests may need to utilize alternate beach access points during their stay.

Pets allowed. No smoking/vaping.

Tricks and tips to get the very best rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Hatteras area. To get the largest vacation home for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Hatteras restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose the perfect vacation home:

• To start, have your group select trip dates and a spending budget.
• Pet-Friendly has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.
• If there's a particular Hatteras beach you are crazy about, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Advice for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the property manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host 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 as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
