About this property

*Pet Friendly*Island Beach Shack with Pool!

Summary:

Check out our great off season prices!! If you’re looking for a winter getaway our special is November-March for $2200 per month (50% discount). Books up fast, perfect for soul searching and miles of secluded beach walks.



Amazing Hatteras Island retreat cottage a few short steps to BOTH the ocean and the sound! Walk across the street to the ocean sunrises, or walk down our road to the beautiful sound sunsets! You won't get any closer to both bodies of water anywhere on the island.



The Space:

The private guest house features:

- 1 King bed in bedroom and Twin daybed with twin trundle sleeping 4 total. Includes all linens and towels (1 towel and 1 washcloth per guest)

- Full kitchen with coffee pot, microwave, including all utensils and cookware needed for a comfortable stay. (Please bring your own preferred spices)

- Basic cable

- Wifi (Spectrum, fastest available on the island)

- TV with Roku including Netflix, HBOGO and much more

- Full private bathroom

- Beach chairs and umbrellas

- Pool with large deck and lounge chairs (Pool season starts Memorial Day and goes to Labor Day, we do try to open earlier and close later however..this is also dependent on the climate in early spring and late fall and could start earlier and end later.)



Note: We are an older beachbox home built in 1970. We have weathered many storms and tides that come with island life. Therefore the home does have a few quirks. The floors have some uneven spots and we like to note there is only 1 large bay window in the guest house. Lastly, we do live next door, so you will see our kids toys, some construction materials as my husband does handyman maintenance, our chickens, dogs, cat and some things we are working on outside our property while here. We do not pretend to be a luxury rental, we are a quirky little island family with a well lived in home. We will not encroach on the rentals space at anytime but like guests to know that we do live next door and share the pool. We try to be as open and transparent as possible to ensure guests get the best experience they are searching for and book the perfect rental home for their needs.





We also co-host other properties in Rodanthe/Waves and Salvo. If this space doesn't suite your needs, we also have many other homes varying in amenities and scale of luxury to suite a wide variety of travelers ❤️ Check em' out on my Airbnb profile page! Scroll down until you see the list of homes in the area I host 🥰



Guest Access:

Guests have access to our pool (shared by our other guests as well as us) and beach chairs/umbrellas.



Chairs and umbrellas free to use. Please let us know if anything breaks during your stay so that we can replace them for future guests.



Surf lessons are upon request with prior notice and are subject to weather and wave report permitting. $100 per person for 3 hour lesson and free board rental for your stay.



Cottage is FULLY HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE!



The Neighborhood:

Whether you're here to surf, kiteboard, fish, kayak, beach walk, sightsee or even go horseback riding....we have you covered! Everything is either within walking distance, available on site, or a short drive away.



Rodanthe is an amazing part of the island and centrally located on the Outer Banks! Being that it's the smallest section and directly next to the wildlife refuge, the beaches are a lot less crowded than the beaches north in Nags Head or south in Avon. There are a few restaurants (only 1 late night bar) and other conveniences nearby but outside of that, the island is quiet and relaxing.



If you are here for kiteboarding, Hatteras Island Sail Shop (HISS) is down the road, Barton and his son Reider are hands down the people to see if you're looking for lessons or anything surf/kite, they will give you a great value and a more personal experience.



Watermans/REAL is about 2 miles away. They have live music nightly and a restaurant in the summer along with a great sunset view. There are a few other local restaurants within walking/biking distance and all locally run. Hatteras Lighthouse is a 30 minute drive away and the Bodie Lighthouse is 20 minutes away. You can ride horses on the beach in Buxton only 30 minutes away or you can get a surf lesson by your host, Jeremy, with given notice before your stay.



Getting Around:

There is a bike path nearby that runs the length of the tri-village (about 8 miles)...the taxi service is Island Hopper and there are a few Uber drivers around.



Other Things to Note:

Like Nicholas Sparks?? The Serendipity house from the book/movie "Nights in Rodanthe" is directly across the street! You can lounge on the beach and feel swept away by the books romantic scenery.



Interaction with Guests:

Interaction may vary as we like to travel in the winter but during the summer you may find us hanging by the pool or out at the beach with our kids, Mirlo and Mira Lee, and dogs Delilah and Rooster. We are available at all times during your stay if you need anything at all but you will also have full privacy in your cottage.
There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Pamper yourself with onsite massages or enjoy recreation amenities such as an outdoor pool. Additional amenities at this guesthouse include concierge services and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Wimble shoals, Rodanthe

We enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back. We stay in vrbo’s almost every other month for short vacations and this was the best greeting we’ve ever had. There was a basket waiting for us with fresh eggs, and a large assortment of snacks. The family here goes out of their way to make sure you enjoy your stay. We only saw them once but they were very prompt to answer any texts with questions about the area or where to find things. The only thing that could be slightly improved would be the television for relaxing at night after a long day at the beach. Great place, great hosts.

Best Shack Around!

What an amazing place, super close to a gorgeous beach, beautiful Place, super sweet little surf town, amazing little markets, super accommodating hosts. This was by far the best little gem to stay in the OBX. And for Rondanthe love this little spot, but bring mosquito spray lol they are the town bird!!! We will be back to the best little HattyWampus Shack around!
