Semi oceanfront! and dog-friendly

Friends met for a week with my friends dogs. The house was very convenient to the beach for walks and we enjoyed the walks for several days before a Noreaster rolled in with winds blowing 40mph and the road ended up being closed. The owner was very good and easy to communicate with during this process. No one was down there in the neighborhood so that made for being quiet. What we didn't realize was, the restaurants were in the process for closing for the season. It was unfortunate with weather and did not have the opportunity to use the hot tub. We did enjoy the screened in porch for the first 4 days.Although the weather wasn't optimum, we had plenty of time for visiting and Netflix!

Very nice property but didn’t realize we were next to a campground.Liked the closeness to the beach.

Wow! We were perfectly comfortable and at home from the moment we stepped into Footprints. We had the most lovely time and enjoyed every detail so lovingly stitched into the tapestry of this home. I could go on and on about the details, but all I’ll say is that it was a haven of peace and we could feel the love so thoughtfully placed into every inch.The screened in porch was our favorite spot, the beds and linens were so comfy, and the home had all the little details to make our stay including lots of games and books.

Cute, well decorated property. Lots if things to do under the house

We loved the location . The house is decorated with a good beach vibe ! Loved it !! It was perfect for our family . Very short walk to the beach ! We walked to the pier and to get coffee nice walking area. The ice maker did not work and the light over the stove did not work just FYI. The beach chairs under the house could be replaced . I think we used 2 of them . The screened in back porch was nice we enjoyed playing games out there and the hot tub was a nice way to end the evening! I would def stay here again ! Thank you

We had a wonderful experience and would love to return! The host was very responsive and kind. I left my AirPods behind by accident and they graciously mailed them back to me. 10 out of 10!

This place had everything we needed!Just steps to the ocean.

My husband, I and our dog Gracie stayed here for the second time for much needed rest and relaxation. This cottage is decorated so nicely and appreciate all of the extra touches. Having morning coffee watching the sun rise; walks on the beach with Gracie; great sunny weather and relaxing on the porch and deck; enjoyed the hot tub and the comfortable cottage. Thank you so much.

This place is just as advertised and my husband and I along with our little dog Scooby had a wonderful last week of August at the beach! Real close to the beach with great view from the deck. The beach access was a little rough due to some weeds which have these painful prickly burrs on them(tough for doggies especially) and the terrain is rather uneven because of the sandy walkway making it a little tough for those of us with arthritis. The path is definitely not wheelchair/stroller/walker friendly. Wooden walkway would be great as seen in the 2 nearby campgrounds. However, there are local beach accesses within 10 minutes drive. Other than that, all appliances and features of the home were pretty good. We do most of our own meal prep and cooking, so we made the most of what we brought from home and what was available in the kitchen. It was nice that the owners left a small care bag with soaps, detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. We left whatever we did not use, so we hope that will help for the next renters. The beds and the hot tub were greatly appreciated! The area of Waves/Rodanthe is full of natural beauty, and is great for those wanting to escape the busier areas of the Outer Banks.

I’m not a person who normally leaves reviews but I can honestly say I have never been happier with a rental. The pictures don’t do the property and house justice. It’s in the perfect location, just steps away from the beach. No need to pack a heavy cooler for lunch, you can just walk back to the house. The house had a living space with board games we enjoyed playing together as well as books for all ages. We were struggling to turn the hot tub on (and despite its “malfunction” being our user error) the host swiftly handled it and had someone come help us turn it on the next morning. The screened in porch was key in the evenings for relaxing, and the wheelbarrow for hauling chairs and sand toys to the beach was such an helpful tool as well - one of the many little things that truly made this an easy and relaxing family vacation for us. Check out was a breeze, we were all worried we were missing something because in past years the check out procedures are endless, not with this beach house. I seriously can’t express what a great stay and over all experience this was for me and my family. We will be returning!!! If you’re looking for a house in the area you won’t regret staying here!

The stay was good. We happened upon a week with hurricane Debby so beach time was limited. I ended up in the hospital so unfortunately I missed vacation so the reviews are from my husband and kids. We had to buy paper towels and toilet paper and garbage bags which I thought should have been included with the rental. The only thing as far as cleanliness I would comment on is that the beds sheets had sand in them upon arrival. I also think that towels should be provided to your guests. All being said, we would stay here again. The views and the patio were wonderful. Really enjoyed the hang out place under the house which we used often since it rained most of the time. Loved the distance to the beach and that you allow dogs!!!
