Dog-friendly oceanfront home with large deck, high-speed WiFi, washer/dryer & AC

Bottom line up front: awesome house, terrible host company (Vacasa) that nickels and dimes you.The house is a great spot, room setups are great, porch is awesome, direct private access to the beach.The downside: Vacasa is a pain. Not enough towels in the home. One dish rag. No spqre trash bags, no trash bags in the bathrooms for small trash cans. Soap/shampoo/conditioner are all completely empty. What bath towels they do have are comically small. Floors were still pretty dirty with sand and dust. Also their customer service line is not American, which is frustrating, since they have to patch questions through to their onsite person, so very slow response and telephone game answers.If you’re booking this house, bring your own trash bags. Bring your own bath towels. Don’t expect soap and shampoo (even though it’s in VRBO’s terms and conditions). Bring your own vacuum. Bring your own dishwasher detergent.

This house has it all - beautiful oceanfront views, large decks, love the furnishings, and we already booked for next year (will be third year in a row)! Definitely deserves 5 stars. Rental company is the best I’ve ever dealt with. Everything made for a great vacation!

We loved the location of the home, and the views were beautiful! Perfect size for our family of 6, and it was also a nice surprise to have a treasure box full of toys for our kids to enjoy! Giving 4 stars and not 5 only because we arrived to a broken ac unit on the first floor, and the second floor unit was dripping down the wall onto the couch. So that was a little inconvenient and disappointing, but overall we enjoyed our time at Still Waters!

Perfect location and amenities. The house had all of the amenities you need for a beach house and it is right on the beach with no fuzz or walk. The downstairs A/C was not working, but the property team was responsive and provided timely responses alternatives to get it fixed.

This was a great find we had the opportunity to create new memories with our love ones. It is a great property to enjoy some time outside of your routine

The only thing that we were disappointed with was that we couldn't stay longer! Rodanthe and specifically Still Waters house has left a lasting impression on us! We already want to come back!

It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful view! Rodanthe was even more beautiful than we expected. The house was perfectly decorated and although there were only 3 of us ; the house felt cozy and the elcoming!

Our week stay at Stillwater’s was in celebration of a 70th birthday. If we die tonight, we and our 2 Border Collies will have had the best last week of our lives. The upstairs and downstairs decks, and large sliding doors in the living/dining area, as well as the 2 largest bedrooms with large sliding doors, offered an unobstructed view of the sea. The home is warm and inviting and was immaculate upon arrival, equipped with everything we needed. The owners must have well researched the best materials and cloth for pets because cleanup was easy when it was time to leave. Vacasa did a great job in communicating about checkin and checkout.We had the seashore to ourselves during a sun-filled week when dolphin surfed and came up out of the water every day. The only thing we had not read about in the reviews that might be helpful for some people less ambulatory is the fact of 3 1/2 flights of steps from the driveway to the fridge. This home is truly a special gem; one of the best slices of heaven on earth!

We had such an amazing time at Still Waters, it was so bittersweet leaving. The amenities and location were positively amazing! Beyond the location and amenities, the locals were also so kind.

Could not have asked for a cozier place to stay. My husband and I went for 4 nights/5 days for our anniversary. The view was spectacular. Still Waters has everything you could possibly need! Hope to be back soon!

The location and the size of the house .

Very comfortable home right on the beach. Thoughtfully decorated, well stocked kitchen (appliances, utensils, dishware, glassware), a wonderful retreat. House was clean and ready upon arrival. We very much enjoyed our time here and appreciate the owners opening their home to fellow beachlovers. Thank you

We really enjoyed our beach getaway at Still Waters. The view can't be beat and there was lots of room for all of us to play games, eat meals, and relax. We loved having the ocean steps away!

Fully stocked kitchen! Easy to cook like you were at home. Thoughtful decor, loved the puzzles and games available.

The location was perfect! We highly enjoyed the ocean views and extremely close access to the beach. The house was lovely and gave us the retreat that we needed. Definitely would recommend this beach house to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway by the ocean.

Loved the view, the home was clean, decks were perfect, outside furniture was great. Outside shower was great. Loved everything about the home!

Our family loved staying at this house. A lovely older house with lots of charm. We loved hanging on the upper deck and watching the ocean and all the surfers. The poop deck always made us giggle, perfect name for it! My family also loved the easy short walk to the beach and being dog friendly. An amazing place to stay to enjoy OBX, and surrounding areas.

The location of the home was perfect. The house was clean and exactly as pictured. The owners have left a lot of toys/coloring books/ and things of that nature for smaller children as well as outside toys for sand castles and a swing. The beds were very comfortable and the house had basically everything we needed! We would definitely return.

Our family LOVED our stay. It was quiet, except for the sound of the surf, which was heaven and the neighbors we quiet and friendly. This location was exactly as shown in the listing. The beds were very comfortable. We don’t care for eating out and this place had a well stocked kitchen. We had everything we needed to cook whatever we wanted. We have been looking for a beach vacation area that is not crowded with amusements and “tourist trap” areas. We just wanted peace, quiet, the beach/ocean, and time to spend with each other. This was it!! We all fell in love with OBX (including our doggie). New vacation spot located. ?

The upper deck is the place was hung out mostly. The kitchen was nicely appointed but needed more hand towels.
