Stylish, calming and private, step back in time at the "Old Bach," an oceanfront 1975 trapezoidal A-frame, overlooking the massive double dune of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

Inspired by Chris's childhood summers in New Zealand at his family's bach (a rustic beach bungalow, pronounced "batch"), we newly gut-remodeled and completely modernized the home, while maintaining the original appeal and character. The Old Bach is located on a huge, private oceanfront lot at the end of a peaceful, private street. There is off-street parking for 3-4 cars, including the carport under the home.

Our recent remodel involved flipping the floor plan to create a sizable, open living area on the top floor, with a full kitchen, dining banquette, and comfortable living room with a enormous flat-screen intelligent TV. The living room opens to an enormous deck and pergola complete with a dining table and a comfortable sectional. From the deck you can glimpse the ocean between the dunes.

Downstairs, the staircase is open to the front hall and the cozy TV room, with another huge flat-screen intelligent TV. There are two queen bedrooms on this level, as well as a stacking washer and dryer, a full bath with a corner shower, and the primary suite. Located in what was originally a sizable covered porch, the primary bedroom and bathroom are surrounded by windows. The en-suite primary bathroom features an additional large soaking tub with a shower, and a toilet with a bidet attachment.

The home features all new plumbing, electric, appliances, floor, HVAC, kitchen, bathrooms, and paint. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and premium natural stone quartzite countertops. Both bathrooms have terrazzo floor tiles, handmade wall tiles, and oak console vanities with cast concrete basins.

There is a shady deck with a hammock under the home, as well as two outdoor showers: an open shower where the beach path meets the home, and a private double shower with a changing area. The beach is accessed by a trail leading through the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and over the dunes to the pristine beach.

There are multiple good eateries and modest markets within walking distance. A bigger supermarket is available in close by Avon to the south, or Nags Head to the north.

We newly purchased The Old Bach and modernized it together as a labor of appreciate. It is our enjoyment to share it with you, but we are looking for discerning guests who value privacy, well-designed spaces, and mutual respect.

Tips to get the very best Hatteras rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Rodanthe. Reserve your Hatteras vacation home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitors guide magazines that include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the perfect vacation home in the Hatteras area:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Stylish Oceanfront 70s A-Frame, Fully Renovated has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what is best for your family.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected everything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
