Feel what it's like to live like an Islander at this striking oceanfront bungalow in relaxing Rodanthe. Islander is located on a humongous lot surrounded by natural vegetation for plenty of privacy from the neighboring homes. Dogs are welcome, so even your canine companion can join you on Hatteras Island's pet-friendly beaches during your stay. An broad east-facing deck with hot tub is where you can soak up the sun by day and lounge under the stars at nighttime. Fire up the grille downstairs and serve your fresh catch at the picnic table while appreciating the invigorating coastal breezes. Inside, you can still admire the ocean view from the comfortably furnished great room with vaulted ceilings and plenty of natural light. Whether you're watching a movie or preparing a meal in the kitchen, the open-concept layout means everybody can still socialize. Three of the four bedrooms are located on the top level with the living area, including a cavernous king suite with private bath. The fourth bedroom is located by itself on the lower level - the ideal option for giving kids a space of their own. 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. The town 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. Reel in the catch of the day from the Hatteras Island Fishing Pier, or savor the other side of the island with a variety of watersport activities in the Pamlico Sound. Can’t stay an entire week? Islander is available for short stays and offers flexible arrival/departure options for those who like to plan ahead. In-season partial week stays (three-nighttime minimum) can be reserved months in advance, and guests can choose any day of the week for check-in and check-out. PLEASE NOTE that due to erosion, the beach access at the end of the path behind the home is not currently safe for use. Guests can use the Rodanthe Beach Access, which is the preferred access for the Rodanthe area. The Rodanthe Beach Access is located half a mile from the home and includes a parking lot, showers, well-maintained walkway to the beach, and lifeguard. Animals allowed - one dog only.

Tips to get the perfect Hatteras vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your Hatteras vacation home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.

• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.
