Someone can’t keep a secret - the wonderful sound-side home A Seacret Paradise is Rodanthe’s hottest vacation number! There is parking in the carport, a heated pool with a tropical bar and plenty of furniture, a fish-cleaning station, a gas grill, and an outdoor shower/toilet. The home is an easy walk to a very inviting oceanfront. The best ocean and sound views are available from the well-furnished top decks.
A Seacret Paradise is chic and comfortable, and every wall has a piece of unique and pleasing art. The comfy living area has wood floors, ceiling fans, leather furniture, a gas fireplace, an entertainment center with a large LCD TV and a Blu-ray player, and a half bath. A furnished east-facing oceanside deck allows for good sunning and ocean views. The west side has a screened porch with deck chairs. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, wood floors, granite countertops, and a wine bar with a cooler. The dining area allows sneak peeks of the ocean.
The primary bedroom has an elegant bathroom with a super shower, deck access, and an iPod dock. One of the guest bedrooms also has deck access, and all have TVs.
A Seacret Paradise is a strong candidate for this year’s best-of-the-beach vacation home.

Updated interior, comfortable beds. The pool was fantastic.
Nothing fancy but it has the amenities needed to get by. The pool was amazing for the kids and we used it for hours every day. I could hear the waves from the ocean sitting on the front porch, and it was only a few minutes to walk across the street to the ocean. Only 25 minutes from nags head which was nice if we wanted more to do but we really didn’t need that - it was nice to relax in a more calm area as opposed to the crazy rat race of Nags Head.
Cute 3 BR home with nice bathrooms And great porches for outdoor viewing. Appreciate the outdoor shower and extra hoses to wash off the sand. Adorable kitchen.
This house has an elevator, which is great. Kitchen is nicely equipped. Short, easy walk to the beach. Nice pool that can be heated.
Very clean! Probably the cleanest house we've ever rented. Elevator is great for luggage and person in our party who has trouble with steps. Pool was awesome!
Location is great and pool is a nice size and cleaned twice while we were there.
We drove down from Maine to stay in Rodanthe the first week of May 2022. We were able to check in immediately upon arrival. The house smelled clean and you could tell the cleaners had just left because the person who checks their work and picks up the dirty linens pulled in behind us. My only complaint is that we didn't realize until our final day that there was a black bin with a yellow top that had additional linens in it. I actually bought kitchen towels and extra hand towels because I couldn't find any in what the cleaning crew had set out for us. We also called and asked for the pool heat to be turned on 6 days prior to our arrival. The management team forgot to tell the pool guy. I called the management company on the second day and they sent the pool guy over. The pool guy was great! The house set up was great. I liked the open concept. I loved having decks surrounding the house. You could always find the perfect spot to sit outside. If I could make a renovation to the house, I would put a stairway from the kitchen down to the pool area. (Not a complaint... just a suggestion to the owners if they were ever going to live there.) Our stay was amazing. The weather was sunny and in the 80s almost every day of our trip. We did lots of obvious tourist things: lighthouses, museums, wildlife sanctuary, the ferry to Okracoke Island, the Wright Brother's Museum. We also spent time at the beach and time at the pool. One morning we went to Wanchese, as my husband is a commercial fishermen and wanted to find where the working boat tied up. We found The Landing Grill which is more of a sit down have a full meal kinda place and O'Neal's Sea Harvest which is a seafood market and lunch place. Another favorite was the Wright Brother's Museum (our teenager loved it) and went out to eat at the Black Pelican in Kitty Hawk. Very good food, service and atmosphere. We also enjoyed going to watch the kite surfers in the evenings and ended up getting take out at Waterman's, which was okay. Our son was a big fan of Lisa's Pizza. The new bridge wasn't open yet. I suspect the neighborhood will be better suited for pedestrians once it opens. The ladies at Island Convenience were nice and had me try boiled peanuts when I asked about them. They laughed at me and said, They taste like dirt, huh?
Vacasa is hard to contact. Never received answers to text or call prior to arrival. Email replies were very slow, if at all. 4 different people gave 4 different answers to check in time. I tried fir 2 weeks before lur arrival date. Very confusing. No dish towels or bath mat. We had to buy them ourselves. We couldn't call Vacasa C/S because the roads were closed, so they wouldn't have been able to get to us anyway , plus phone and internet went out Friday afternoon. Weather, which you can't control, was horrible. We were stuck at the house, inside until Thursday. So basically, we had a 2 day vacation. We will NOT be dealing with Vacasa ever again !!! (Weather aside)
The house had a great location. Area was quiet. House was nice if maintained. After being contacted by Ms. Sharon I was amazed that they offered to clean the house which was not cleaned. Refridgerater, microwave, master bath were not cleaned. Mirror, faucet still had tooth brush splashes everwhere. Human hair in drawers, fridge, shower, and on toilet. Everything was dusty! I am not talking about a little. This house has not seen a clean in a while. Mold in bathroom, closets. Carpets were not vacuum cleaned. Animal hair everywhere. We own a dog as well and put her in boarding where we live, so I am used to hair, but want my vacation home normal clean upon arrival. Outhouse was dirty. Outside shower did not work. Home repairs are needed with light bulbs, deck, windows, shades. Of course we had a severe thunderstorm and it rained through the kitchen door. Most unacceptable was the bedding smelling like the previous tenants. My younger daughter had no bedding at all. We did find blankets etc in the closet for her. Ms. Sharon stated someone would come by to clean. She had our permission to enter. Sadly, this never happened. I have enough pictures as proof! Sadly, this experience ruined all after a desparaetely needed vacation I just wanted peace, and not run after people to make sure our quiet home is clean! Not worth the money! I recommend a different agency or hotel.
Home is as advertised but could’ve been cleaner upon arrival. Kitchen counters had some crumbs and the fixtures and entertainment center had a layer of dust. Not horrible, but worth mentioning for those who may be more sensitive to pet hair/dust, etc. During our month long stay we found the home to be outfitted with everything we needed. The good: Master bath appeared newly remodeled. New gas range and new grill by the pool. Water is consistent temp and good pressure. Internet was fast and reliable. The not so good: Aside from the master bath and kitchen, the home and decor is dated, dusty and well worn. Some of the blinds didn’t function properly. There is some mold near the ceiling in the bathroom and around the windows. The master mattress is a bit lumpy and squeaks on entry and exit. The garbage bins were dirty throughout the home. We saw two roaches during our 30 day stay. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and recommend this home if you can overlook the few issues mentioned above. One other note that’s not related to the home. The road leading to the home is sand/gravel and has many deep potholes. Renters with small cars or cars with low ground clearance beware.
