Oceanside 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath home with Excellent Ocean & view.

Always a pleasant stay.

We had a great stay.The beach house was perfect for our family The upstairs is perfect if you have teenagers in your group !! We enjoyed both decks Beautiful sunrise and sunsets We would definitely come again !!!

We stayed for a week and absolutely loved it. The upstairs balcony gives you an amazing view of the sunrise and the screened porch is perfect for enjoying dinner and listening to the ocean. Beach access is fairly convenient but we mostly just drove a few minutes north to a beach with life guards. It's a bit of a drive to a large grocery store but there are smaller stores nearby and plenty of great places to eat, coffee shops etc. If you're adventurous there's kite surfing and parasailing just a few minutes south and when you feel like staying in there is a yard large enough for badminton or kicking a ball around. Really a fantastic place to stay.

Nice house for the family.

Very nice house and we loved the beach. It’s also in proximity to Pea Island nature reserve and the federal beach accesses for the Hatteras sea shore.

Pros: -close to beach- the little path shown in pictures is not how you get to the beach. You walk through A clearing in the bushes and then you get to the paved access road. It’s about a five minute walk. - The beach was not crowded in that area at all. And lifeguards were close by because of the campground next-door. - fairly quiet and secluded. There is another cottage right next-door, but no one was there during our stay. There’s a mobile home community right next to the house, but overall it was quiet. - spacious inside, comfortably fit our family of five Cons - The house was not very clean when we arrived. I had to sweep as soon as we got there and picked up a lot of sand. The rugs in the bathrooms did not seem clean. I had to scrub the tub before putting my toddler in it. - nothing is provided. No linens, towels, dish, towels, paper products, hand soap, and there was only one, half-filled bottle of Lysol spray. So you will have to bring everything with you. - the downstairs queen was uncomfortable but the upstairs queen was ok.

This was our first time staying at Northwind, and it was a very nice place. This was our sixth trip to OBX and the first time we stayed south of Nags Head. Rodanthe was a quiet and amazingly low-traffic place—nothing like Nags Head or Kitty Hawk. The cottage was clean and ready upon arrival, and there were no issues with our stay. The multi-level decks were nice for taking advantage of the breeze in the morning and later in the evening, as it was in the high 80s every day we stayed. The AC worked great! Unfortunately, the water in the creek/marshland was high, so the bridge and direct path to the dunes were unusable, but the little path north to the road to the dunes was easily accessible, though some branches needed trimming. The beach was clean, and there were no crowds—again, something we were not familiar with. Kite surfers frequented this area because the waves were large, which made swimming impossible for the latter portion of our stay. Overall, it was a great stay, and I would stay again.

Our family had a wonderful time at this location. It is wonderful for a lowkey relaxing beach vacation. The house was clean, had plenty of room to spread out, the kitchen was roomy and well stocked with items to make cooking easy, had an outside shower and more than enough yard to spend time playing outdoor games. It is an easy walk to the beach and even with us being there over 4th of July week we found it to have room to “set up camp” for the day and not feel crowded. The mornings spent watching the sunrise over the ocean,enjoying our coffee, was so relaxing. There are a few places near this location that we enjoyed: Beans and Beads for wonderful coffee and pastries, Lisa’s Pizza for great pizza and the General Store had items we needed and forgot. A few items to pack along with your bedding and towels are dish towels, dish cloths, trash bags and a few ziplock bags (if cooking at the house). Rob was very prompt at answering any questions. We will recommend this house to others and will stay here again if we are back in the area.

We had a great stay here! I wish I had known that the little bridge in the yard was not a path to the beach, but the walk to the next drive with beach access wasn't too bad. A wagon is handy! I would come back in a heartbeat. It was a very quiet, relaxing place to stay.

This is the 4th time we've stayed at Northwind. The cottage feels secluded and the views from the upper deck are beautiful. It's a short walk to the beach. There is a lot to do there and the cottage is located a convenient distance from plenty of activities. We look forward to coming back.
