Welcome to Rose Cottage, a picture-perfect retreat just steps from the Atlantic in the town of Rodanthe. The semi-oceanfront location offers guests a fabulous view and convenient access to the beach, just 100 feet from the house. Thoughtful details and updates throughout combine for a unique blend of modern finishes and classic coastal charm. Pets are welcome at Rose Cottage, so your fur babies can join you on the dog-friendly beaches of Hatteras Island.

A traditional wrap-around porch on the main level is the perfect place to relax in the shade while admiring the ocean view and enjoying the salty breeze. Inside, the ocean view continues from the spacious great room with plenty of seating and a cozy electric fireplace. The open-concept layout with sightlines from front to back makes the main level an ideal space for gathering. Prepare meals in the newly remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances and gorgeous marble countertops. A sun deck just off the dining area is the perfect place to soak up some Vitamin D. Back inside, LVP and tile flooring flow throughout this entire pet-friendly house, ideal for sandy feet and paws returning from the beach. All three bedrooms are located upstairs, including the primary. This king suite is attached to a semi-private bath with walk-in shower. Two queen bedrooms will comfortably accommodate family and friends, who can also utilize the second full bathroom on the main level. Bed and bath linens are always included at no extra charge, and the beds will be made with fresh sheets and pillowcases prior to your arrival.

From fishing and crabbing to swimming and surfing, the possibilities for around-the-clock outdoor adventure and memory-making are endless. After a day of fun in the sun, head back to the house for a quick rinse in the outdoor shower before preparing the catch of the day at the fish cleaning station.

The quaint coastal village of Rodanthe 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. Embrace your inner angler at 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.
