Matt and Christine are incredibly accommodating and even more communicative. The location is incredible. You are 45 minutes or less from everything (national parks, shopping, tourist traps, etc.).
The deck is on the beach, and when the tide comes in, it is literally above the Atlantic at times. Miles of beach await you in any direction. Locally, head south toward the Rodanthe Pier (arcade, shop, etc) or west up the street to the Rodanthe Surf Shop.
The house itself is very cozy, well furnished and recently updated. The pictures listed are 100% accurate. This was our first trip to the outer banks and we could not be happier with our stay.
