Description

You'll feel on top of the world when you stay at Ocean Crest for your next Hatteras Island vacation. This oceanfront home in Rodanthe is situated right on the beach with panoramic views of the Atlantic. Ocean Crest is equipped with an elevator, ideal for guests with mobility needs. Use it to send luggage and groceries up and down for a hassle-free check-in and check-out. A spacious east-facing sun deck that spans the width of the home is equipped with a hot tub, where you can take a relaxing soak while enjoying the salty ocean breezes. In addition to having the beach as your backyard, this pet-friendly home includes a fabulous outdoor recreation space that can double as a dog run for your furry friends. From there, you'll have effortless access to the beach where you can spend the day swimming, surfing, fishing or shelling - the possibilities for around-the-clock oceanfront fun are endless.

Back at the house, the open-concept layout in the great room allows everyone to admire the unobstructed ocean views. Upgrades include vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the view. French doors lead to a rec room located right off the main living area, furnished with a pool table for some friendly competition and indoor entertainment. The chef in your group will appreciate the well-equipped kitchen with island for plenty of prep space. Gorgeous hardwood floors flow throughout the top level, including the primary bedroom. This ocean-facing retreat includes a beautifully remodeled bath where you can pamper yourself with a spa-like experience.

The mid-level consists of four more bedrooms, two of which are ensuite making Ocean Crest the ideal choice for multiple or extended families. All four bedrooms on this level offer an ocean view along with deck access, so you can wake up to the sunrise and fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves. Downstairs, you'll find the sixth bedroom, a full bath and an additional full-sized fridge for storing extra groceries or the catch of the day.

Situated at the east end of Shore Drive, Ocean Crest offers a central location where you'll be just minutes from the very best Rodanthe has to offer. This quaint coastal village is the ideal setting for a laid back, slower-paced vacation while still having conveniences and dining options nearby. 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 enjoy the other side of the island with a variety of watersport activities in the Pamlico Sound.

Please note that the daily effects of winds, waves, tides and storms have contributed to coastal erosion impacts at Cape Hatteras National Seashore, particularly adjacent to the villages of Rodanthe and Buxton. The effects of erosion in these towns result in dynamic and unpredictable changes to the dune line, which may unexpectedly affect beach access. Guests may need to utilize alternate beach access points during their stay.

Pets allowed. No smoking/vaping. Fireplace not available for guest use.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home! From the moment we arrived, it truly felt like a home away from home. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our family, and the bathrooms were a great size with plenty of room.
The kids especially thought the elevator was the greatest thing ever! 😂 It definitely made bringing everything in and out much easier. One of our favorite features was the outdoor shower/rinse station—it was perfect for quickly rinsing the kids off after a day at the beach and keeping all that sand outside.
The location was wonderful, and the views were absolutely beautiful! The house also stayed nice and cool, which we really appreciated after spending our days in the hot beach weather.
Overall, we had such a wonderful stay and made so many great family memories here. We would definitely stay at this home again and highly recommend it to other families looking for a comfortable, spacious, and convenient place to stay!

Village Realty did a great job handling our vacation rental. They communicated perfectly and we're responsive when needed. They house was set up nicely and have to say not having to stripe the beds at the end of a vacation was a nice bonus, lol bad enough we had to leave! Will definitely rent from them directly on the future.

After renting homes in the Outer Banks for many years, our family agreed this was the best OBX house we've ever stayed in.You simply cannot get any closer to the water. The location was incredible, & because the house sits in front of neighboring homes, it felt surprisingly private.The home was exceptionally well stocked with everything we needed aside from personal items. The multiple deck seating areas were perfect for enjoying the views, and the motorized theater seating in the living room was a huge hit. The pool table provided hours of family entertainment, & the elevator made moving luggage and groceries between floors easy. The hot tub was enjoyed by everyone and quickly became a favorite gathering spot after long days on the beach.The kitchen deserves special mention. As someone who usually brings a favorite knife & skillet to every rental, I didn't need either here. This was the first OBX rental kitchen we've had that was fully equipped & in great condition. The blenders, juicer, crock pot, & dedicated ice maker made meal prep effortless. The ice maker was a game changer.The beds were comfortable, & it was obvious the home is well cared for. We also appreciated the enclosed, gated carport area, which gave us peace of mind with our dogs. This is one of the few vacation homes we've stayed in where we were already talking about coming back before the trip ended. We would absolutely stay here again. Fantastic location, home & an unforgettable family vacation.

Amazing house!! Perfect location in a quiet cul-de-sac with private & easy access to the beach. Loved that we were within walking distance (right down the road) to ice cream, shopping, donuts, pizza, miniature golf & delicious coffee from a super cute coffee shop each morning. It exceeded our expectations!! The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. Super dog friendly with a nice dog run area in the back, which was very useful. The elevator was great for the grandparents in our party who could not go up & down stairs easily. Absolutely loved watching the sunrise from the deck & sitting outside enjoying the ocean views in the evening. And being this close to the ocean was priceless!! 100% would recommend this house.

Our family loved the property and how welcoming the area was to having our dogs with us almost everywhere, aside from a few meals out. We really appreciated that Rodanthe had a tight-knit feel, with the beach being the main attraction—which was exactly what we were looking for. It was perfect being able to set up our beach gear and come and go from the house whenever we wanted. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to upgrade the grill. A propane option would have been much more convenient. Also, the beds could use an update for added comfort. Just minor suggestions, though, we still fell in love with the area and the home, and I’m happy to give it a five-star review.

Thank you, Jake. Glad your family — and your dogs — enjoyed the property and Rodanthe’s tight-knit, beach-focused feel. I’m pleased the easy beach access and ability to come and go worked well for you. Appreciate the suggestions about a propane grill and updating the beds; I’ll share them with the owner and maintenance team to evaluate. Thanks for the five-star review — we look forward to welcoming you back.
