“We would give this property 6 stars out of 5 if we could…The home has everything you could ask for, and more. Very thoughtfully done, and the vistas are spectacular.” - Aaron W., August ‘22

Welcome to “Ocean Breeze”, our 3-story oceanfront home that delivers the full meaning of vacation from the moment you step in. With 5 bedrooms and 5-1/2 baths (plus 2 outdoor showers!) – on the Outer Banks - on the beach, “Ocean Breeze” is really the oceanside escape that you have always dreamed of.

We care about you and your stay with us. "We thank them so much for sharing their home with us and feel like they are a part of our family." Jessica P., '22

With sweeping expansive vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and Pamlico Sound, steps from the beach, and a min.’s walk to Rodanthe Pier (passes supplied!) this is your top pick. The search is over. Plus, we are dog friendly. WOOF!

“Just finished a week at Ocean Breeze and it was spectacular…It really is the best home on the beach” - Christopher W., March ‘23

LIVING SPACES:

Classic Outer Banks architecture means the main floor is the Top floor. Head up the stairs to a gorgeous coastal-inspired Living room with a gracious sectional and sizable fireplace that features a view from every angle!

“The location of the home on the surf side can’t be beat! The photos of the home don’t do it justice… we were blown away by the windows that overlook the ocean. Absolutely impressive, you must see it in person!” - Leslie K., April ‘22

You won’t be technologically challenged here either! Part of Ocean Breeze’s broad revamping includes enough technology that you’re covered - even for rainy days!

You can also just relax into the sounds of waves crashing on the shore and relax after a big day of beach fun snuggling up in front of the comfortable fireplace, with glass of wine in hand.

The Living room opens up to a separate Dining area overlooking the ocean, where special memories are meant to be made, and a Kitchen that has its own view, and every luxury you might need for your own Seafood Boil (including a Lobster Pot) or a fresh-brewed cup of coffee to greet the sunrise with.

“To experience a sunrise in this home can only be described as spiritual, and something you will never forget.” - Eddie W., ‘22

The Dining room table can even seat 12 when needed. An additional leaf and 4 very nice padded chairs are stored in the top floor Master closet. Ocean Breeze also provides 2 high chairs and kids’s dishes and silverware so every meal is painless!

Just a note, this is also the ideal spot for a rousing game of Giant-sized Sequence, one of our family’s favorites! There’s plenty of room for everybody to spread out and play – and you won’t miss a wave crash either. The surf is right outside the sliding doors!

The Kitchen is really supplied with tons of sleek kitchen gadgets and all kinds of wares and there’s also an additional Kitchenette, including refrigerator, and microwave on the first floor, so it’s always simple to feed a big group or fulfill all your culinary desires. And the counter features 4 cozy stools if any executive chef supervision is required!

“This home was ideal, each bedroom was big and they all had their own bathrooms.” - Peter R., July ‘21

The Master king suite on the top floor is complete with an en-suite bathroom which includes a double-seated walk-in shower. And right outside the master there is access to a deck that overlooks the Pamlico Sound side, a treasured spot to soak in some striking sunsets with a glass of wine.

On the second floor, there are no less than 3 equally beautiful and inviting bedrooms. Each cozy suite is freshly decorated a la coastal chic and has its own private full bathroom. And 2 bedrooms open out onto an expansive deck with vistas of the Pier and then all the way down the beach in both directions.

“The property is better than the photos and was a great size for our event of 12. The vistas are expansive and definitely STUNNING!” - Ashley M., July ‘22

OUTDOORS:

Craving an ocean swim? Step out off of the Main floor deck and immediately feel sand beneath your toes, then wade directly into the surf of the Atlantic Ocean.

You literally step outside and you’re on the beach.” - Peter R., July ‘21

There’s nothing rather like taking a break from the ocean with a soak in privacy in the lattice-surrounded hot tub while appreciating the stunning Outer Bank breezes. After a rejuvenating dip, rinse off (in hot OR cold water) in the home’s private outdoor shower.

“The hot tub was just icing on the cake. We spent many times a day there and the privacy of it being tucked away on the lower deck while watching/listening to the waves was spectacular.” - Candice T, Jan. ‘22

Finding the best rental experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in Rodanthe. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitor guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, picking, and booking the best Hatteras rental:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Spiritual Sunrises and Glorious Sunsets, right on the Beach, dogs welcome! has 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what is best for your vacation family.
• If there's a particular Hatteras destination you are enamored with, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on good reviews to inspire future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
