Our stay was beyond enjoyable. We arrived around 6pm unloaded quickly so we could take in all the beautiful views on the top floor. Rooms and bathrooms were clean and inviting. House was stocked with all the essentials and extras left behind from previous guests were a bonus. We loved how to kitchen was open to the huge living room where we could all interact and listen to the waves. The nights were breathtaking as we were able to star gaze on the upper deck. The Beach was a short walk away and it did not disappoint. We wanted a relaxing vacation without huge crowds and this private beach was nothing short of amazing. Owners were communicative and checked in to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They were also very flexible and considerate. We hope to return in the future!
This home was wonderful!! The house itself was lovely and well-kept! The location and proximity to the beach were perfect!! The owners were very responsive with any questions. We would definitely return!! For those new to the area, we did learn that linens are not usually included in the rental but we were able to arrange this through a cleaning service. Just a heads up!
Between my family and my sister's, we had 4 adults and 4 children stay at the house. It was the perfect size to accommodate our large group. This was our first time to the Outer Banks and we didn't know much about the area. Based on comparisions, this was simply the best property offered in this price range with accessibility to the beach, size, and shared living area. We were not disappointed! We loved how quiet & relaxing the beach was. It was easy enough for our toddler to walk to and from at the end of the driveway. Being able to come and go throughout the day, without making it a huge production, was a must! The neighborhood is really charming and quiet. There are tons of side streets to go for walks/runs and the beach is really easy to walk/run along as well. Being from NYS, Lisa's around the corner had amazing pizza. Their salads are also amazing! Hattaras is easy to drive down to and explore the lighthouse (for free and with family-friendly educational presentations) and I highly recommend Diamond Shoals for seafood in Buxton. It's also an easy drive up to Nags Head for shopping, events, golfing, and other attractions. Manteo has an aquarium, but make sure you reserve a time slot to go. We recommend Salt Coast Outfitters for any OBX gear/souvenirs. Cassandra and Phil were very responsive and kind hosts. They helped make it a great experience. It was such a fun time that we definitely want to return!
We so enjoyed our stay in this wonderful house. A great view of the beach.
Just a short walk to the beach and everything we needed for our spring break getaway. Town was very cute although not everything was open due to the time of year but expected. Short drive south or north gives you more options and endless scenery. House was fully stocked with essentials. We did have to bring our own sheets, blankets and towels due to shortage of laundry services. Great vacation and lots of memories!
Great location, plenty of space, and comfortable beds. Host was very helpful.
Very comfortable and a fabulous location. Great views and the hosts are very pleasant and responsive. We will be back.
Very nice property. Modern appliances, furniture and amenities. Great view of the ocean from the top deck. Definitely would consider a return visit. Howard K
We had a terrific experience at Genesis! The house is wonderful - well maintained, clean, and very comfortable. Perhaps the best beds we've ever had at a vacation rental! Very close to the beach (literally one minute), with the steady soothing sounds of the surf at the house. Owners are terrific hosts - very supportive and available. Great location in terms of the southern Outer Banks - everything you need is accessible, but without the crowding of some of the other communities. Would definitely stay again!
The home was a nice size to accommodate a large family and in a beautiful location with great views. The home is older and in need of some updates. The bathrooms are very old. The house is in serious need of a very deep clean. We spent a lot of our trip just cleaning areas that clearly had not been addressed prior to our visit.
We stayed here for a week at the end of July. It was an amazing trip. We had excellent weather every day. The beach is a 1 min walk. The views from the deck are priceless. We even got to watch a few storms roll by (after our beach time so no interruptions). My kids are age 8 and 4, they loved the beach, it is pretty shallow, though there is a short drop off just beyond where the waves crash but my 4 year old did great. The top floor (living space) had an excellent lay out. Lots of comfortable seating. A bar for extra beverages. It was perfect. There were toys and games for the kids to play with as well. Owners provided great communication and were easily available for questions or concerns. We also met the cleaning staff and they were really kind too. The new bridge is open going into Rodanthe so the original road in is now closed which provided a great running space with no traffic but great views (about 0.5 miles from the house). We ordered a seafood boil from Austin South Island Seafood and it was INCREDIBLE. We also got coffee and pastry's from Beads and Beans and it was delicious! Overall, an awesome experience, would definitely recommend. Quiet, quaint beach community. Even the drive into town was beautiful through a nature preserve!
This house was perfect for our family vacation. We particularly enjoyed the great room with 3 couches and an ocean view-- perfect for everyone to relax and enjoy games/books/etc in the evening. House was in good condition. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. The sound side provided good swimming and kayaking nearby on days when the ocean waves were rough. There were a lot of mosquitoes in Rodanthe during our visit, so I recommend bringing bug spray.
Great location, very close to the water. Beautiful views, welcoming atmosphere.
Great location, plenty of room, great views, convenient!!
Our hosts we great, very communicative, and the house had everything we needed. (Remember linens.) So nice to just sit on the porch and in the living room and enjoy the beautiful beach. Thank you!
