Missed opportunity

Owner expressed that there would be reimbursement for the date mixup /change and never received it. The front bedroom closet was stuffed and things fell out when trying to hang clothes. They didn’t fit. The tv, and internet information on the email isn’t correct. The items for the beach either weren’t there or were not in good working condition. Feeling ripped off.

It was perfect!

Condo had all comforts of home. A ocean view balcony that you could spend hours on watching the gorgeous sunsets and beautiful blue ocean. I enjoyed that the condo was only steps from the pool and to the beach. Host has made staying at the condo stress free by providing all the amenities such as a starter papertowels, soaps, Tide pods, towels, bed linens and toilet paper. I would definitely stay again and appreciate all the wonderful hospitality!

Resort Rodanthe

The property was very nice. It had a good beach access and the views were amazing. My family which included my wife and two kids stayed in unit 11b. The unit was even more amazing than the property itself. The host Tamara had made the condo a nice little home away from home. My wife loved the decor that Tamara had decorated the condo with. In fact my wife was getting ideas on how to decorate our house. The housekeeper, Dana, had the entire condo spotless. I definitely would recommend this property and specifically this condo to anyone wanting to visit the OBX. The host , Tamara literally had everything we needed and then some. My wife and I are already planning on another trip to the OBX and staying at this resort.

Spoiled Rotten in Rodanthe.........

The homeowner has thought of everything you could possibly need to make your vacation stay enjoyable, right down to the toothbrushes and toothpaste! We enjoyed the condo and all the extras that were provided for us. The location is great and the view of the ocean is incredible. There is easy access to the beach via a wooden boardwalk and steps that lead you right onto the beach. From the balcony you can enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets while sitting on the comfy outdoor furniture, which we thoroughly enjoyed every morning and evening! The Rodanthe pier is within easy walking distance. The beds are super comfortable and all linens are provided. There is a coffee bar which includes everything you need for a great cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate. We would definitely recommend this rental!

Wonderful!

We spent a relaxing 2 weeks at this lovely property! Beach access was just a short walk. Tamara was a kind and responsive host. Everything was clean, well-organized, and tastefully decorated. The attention to detail (especially in the kitchen) was amazing! We had everything we needed to cook meals. I loved the porch with the comfy outdoor furniture. I was able to work outside on my laptop in the mornings. WiFi worked well - no issues getting work done and streaming movies a couple of rainy evenings. It was a great trip for our family!

Simply Outstanding!

This was our first trip to the Outer Banks, and we couldn't have possibly had a better experience! The condo was everything that we expected from the pictures and descriptions... and more!! Clean, comfortable, spacious, and beyond well-maintained, Tamara has thought of, and anticipated, everything that travelers, (even kids) might need for a stay at the beach. Whether you are in the mood for sun & sand on the beach (literally just a 2 minute walk), a refreshing dip in the private pool, quiet relaxation on the shaded deck, or just some family time around the table for a meal or game, this property checks all of the boxes. Local shops, entertainment, and food are all within walking distance, as is the Rodanthe Pier and a private pond for fishing. On a side note, North Carolina has a 10-day fishing license that you can buy online at ncwildlife.org for less than $15 (under 16 years old is FREE) that was perfect for me and my kids. As a host, Tamara is best in her class. She responds quickly to any and all questions, and provides a beautiful, comfortable space that is meticulously organized down to the smallest details. She even has things labeled so you know what light switch works what lights, how to use the coffee bar (yes, you read that correctly... coffee bar!), as well as all of the little things that sometimes take time to figure out in other rental properties. We are so happy we got to "be her guests", 5 stars just doesn't seem enough! We can't wait to return!

Great first trip to OBX

This was our family of five’s first trip to the outer banks, and we had an amazing time! The condo was wonderful -Tamara had communicated well regarding what was available prior to our arrival. She was so thoughtful and left special treats for our three children to play with during our stay. We were very pleased with the close proximity to the beach, and the kids enjoyed being close to the pool too. We all enjoyed our trip to Be Our Guest, and our kids have already asked when we will return!

The property is comfortable, quiet, and well appointed. My partner and I loved being able to head out the door and walk right on the near empty beach. The kitchen is among the best equipped rental property kitchens we've ever seen - extravagant baking projects were successfully completed. We'll look forward to returning!

OBX checked off the bucket list!

This was a very nice place to stay. It was clean and had everything we needed. The personal touch of coffee, toiletries, paper goods was wonderful! I have stayed from FL all the east coast up to Maine, south from FL to TX. West from AZ to CA. I have never stayed in a VRBO that supplied any extras but starter packs. That was a personal touch that was greatly appreciated! The owner Tamera was great answered questions and concerns that we had immediately. Thank you

Amazing Property!

Beautiful property and completely well-stocked... you don't need to bring ANYTHING. Another plus? Every square inch of the kitchen (and coffee bar!) is labelled... so finding things and putting them away is no longer a guessing game! Only downside, if it can even be considered one: the elevator was out of service and wasn't repaired while we were there. It was quite a long and jostling trek to get your gear up to the condo and back when it was time to leave at 4AM.

The unit was exactly like the photos. It was clean, and the owners add several little touches that make a big difference during your stay. We can't say enough about Tamara, and her extraordinary patience with my several messages on checknin day. She was extremely helpful in every way, and was completely committed to giving us a worry free vacation. We hope to be able to stay there every time we go down. Sincerst thanks again to the owners!

About the host

Hosted by Tamara

Host profile image
We visited the Outer Banks, for the first time as a family the winter of 2021. My husband and I took turns driving the 17 hours with our 10-year-old navigator, excited to Zoom school and work remote from a friends condo. It was midnight when we arrived road-weary. As the sunlight and warmth flooded the room early that first morning, the stress of a long, uncertain year seemed to melt away effortlessly. Family meals replaced fast food, and long work hours spent with breaks to yell at my son to stay focused were replaced by him telling me to stop screaming like a child every time I saw a pod of dolphins swim past! We took long walks on the beach and reconnected as a family. Mornings began early with coffee with my husband on the balcony. We explored beautiful areas daily which ended with fires on the beach and popcorn and family game nights and snuggling up with good books or a movie. I remember thinking how odd it was that I felt so very comfortable so far away from home, it felt like we found ourselves on a remote paradise.

During the winter months the sun rises over the Atlantic Ocean and sets over the Pamlico Sound so the balcony and master bedroom was bathed in sunlight all day. Surprised by the mild weather that had the boys swimming in the ocean in December!

I saw it as fate that a unit in this building went up for sale and I quickly dipped into my modest retirement savings to secure Unit 11B. In our home I must compromise with my husband and son with their rustic/sporty design tastes. Here at the shore I was able to rebel against hard durable surfaces and sink into relaxed luxury. I invite you to pamper yourself in my happy place. Allow me to share my love of the area and the warmth of my hospitality with you and your family. I guarantee you will feel relaxed and at home from the first moment you walk in. This is the perfect romantic get away, place to work remote or enjoy with the littles as even they will feel spoiled here.

What makes this property unique

Tranquility awaits on this 200 mile string of barrier islands which, at Rodanthe North Carolina, sits 30 miles from the coast of the United States and is just over two football fields wide. Access the island by North Carolina Highway 12. Rodanthe boasts stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Pamlico Sound to the west. This humid subtropical climate is at its peak June-Sept relieved by a cooling afternoon sea breeze present most days.

Enjoy fine dining, golfing and water sports like swimming, fishing, kayaking, sailboarding, snorkeling, kiteboarding and wreck diving.

The islands are home to herds of feral horses, called "banker ponies", which are descended from Spanish mustangs washed ashore from shipwrecks centuries ago. Horses are found on Ocracoke Island, Shackleford Banks, Currituck Banks and in the Rachel Carson Estuarine Sanctuary.

Many restaurants, shops and markets are family owned and seasonal, closing Oct 31st when one must take the short drive south to Avon or north to Nags Head for fine dining. I recommend every guest try my favorite hot takeout from Waves Deli a 3 minute drive away.

There are 6 lighthouses in the Outer Banks
- Currituck Beach Lighthouse, located in Corolla, North Carolina
- Roanoake Marshes Lighthouse, located in Manteo, North Carolina
- Bodie Island Lighthouse, located south of Nags Head, North Carolina
- Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, located in Buxton, North Carolina
- Ocracoke Island Lighthouse, located in Ocracoke, North Carolina
- Cape Lookout Lighthouse, located in Carteret County, North Carolina

This condo is located near the luxury Camp Hatteras RV Resort & Campground which provides exceptional people watching and expansive Atlantic Ocean views as there are no buildings in the way to spoil your view.

Enjoy an ocean view while you work from a beautiful desk with dual curved monitors, connection cables, keyboard, mouse and comfortable ergonomic office chair.

Come experience the best of the OBX!
