World class surfing, fishing, and kite boarding. The home is 60 feet from the beach. The view is striking! House rents Sunday to Sunday only.

Sip your drink and appreciate the majestic view of the ocean from the deck of Anna’s Beach Cottage. Forget something in the home after walking down to the beach, not a problem. Our home is only steps away from the ocean.

When entering our home, you will be awakened by the colors of shells and the ocean. Our main living area is a place to sit back and soak up the view. We know that eating out is fun but sometimes it’s equally fun to relax and stay in with family and friends after a full day at the beach. Our home is entirely equipped with kitchen gear to make cooking a breeze.

The bedrooms are all comfortably furnished making for a great nighttime’s sleep. We even have a portable crib and high chair for the little ones.

So savor the beauty of the Outer Banks from one of the best vistas you can get….from Anna’s Beach Cottage. Our home is fondly named after my great grandmother, Anna, from Vietri Sul Mare in Italy.


Sleeping arrangements:

one king bed
one queen bed

We are located on Hatteras Island in the modest fishing village of Rodanthe. We are 30 mins. south of Nags Head. Hatteras Island is a fisherman's heaven. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore continually makes the top ten beaches in the United States.

Surfing and Kite Boarding...

Rodanthe is the east coast surfing and kite boarding capital. You can effortlessly watch the surfers from our deck. If you like kite boarding, you have arrived. The Pamlico Sound is a great spot to board, or even in the ocean if you're an expert. Hatteras Island is a barrier island off the coast of North Carolina which makes our island a narrow one. You can see the Pamlico Sound from our deck and take in a sunset.

History....

If you're a history buff, you will certainly enjoy your visit here. Our coast is called the "Graveyard of the Atlantic" because of the many shipwrecks over the years. The coast is difficult to navigate, therefore, the first coast guard station is located right down the road from us..Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station. You can also drive 30 mins. south on Route 12 to the village of Buxton and climb the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The outer banks has multiple lighthouses to visit. There is a museum on shipwrecks and pirates (Blackbeard) in Hatteras village. There are many artifacts in the outer banks from shipwrecks. The outer banks is also well known for the first flight of the Wright Brothers over the giant sand dunes at Jockey's Ridge. The Wright Brothers Memorial is a landmark for aviation history.

Nature and Bird Watching....

Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge is a ten min. drive from our home. It's refuge for local and seasonal birds. There is a ranger on staff during business hours. They have nature hikes and discussions throughout the season. This area is known for sea turtle rescue. There are often sightings of loggerheads and other turtles.

Fishing...

Oregon Inlet Fishing center is the hub of fishing charters. The Oregon Inlet connects the sound with the Atlantic Ocean. Charters are fashionable because the gulfstream is only a few miles from the inlet. On some days you might even see the shrimp boats coming in when you cross over the Bonner Bridge. Charters are available all year round. The fishing center is a great place to go around 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. and watch the fishermen bring in their catch for the day.

Kid's Stuff....

Of course there's our great beach, but if you want to venture out...there are other things to do. You can take the kids to the sound side where it's very shallow with little waves. The incline into the water is very gradual which is fun for the kids. North Carolina Aquarium is 30 mins. away in the town of Manteo. There are also modest amusement areas 30 mins. north of us which have miniature golf and go carts.

Dining...

If you are looking for a Burger King or McDonalds, you will be disappointed. Our eateries serve local fish and cuisine and are operated by the locals. Fresher fish would be hard to find. There are places to go out for breakfast and dinner very close to our home if you do not want to prepare.

Additional information:

Our home is located on our lot on a 45 degree angle which makes the view from the front window fantastic.

We have an broad DVD collection too.

Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• To get the most suitable rental for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Hatteras area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between 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.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental:

• Start by selecting vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Anna's Beach Cottage Ocean front Home in the OBX has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you book your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, 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. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from 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 your group have a great vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
