We are familiar with Rodanthe and the homes in the area. Unfortunately, when we arrived at this house it was not thoroughly cleaned, dust build up, bathrooms looked hardly touched, bath tubs drained slowly and the house smelt like throw up/vomit. We had drove from VA to SC to my Father in laws funeral then to Rodanthe for vacation. So we were ready to get there and get settled to relax.On a positive side, the rooms were nice and spacious and the beach is very close and walking distance. But the pool is small and the hot tub access is a burden as you can only access it through two of the bedroom doors that lead outside to the porch area it sits on. The photo online shows the pool area open and well kept up. It does not look like that at all, there is 3 old lounge chairs worn and dingy which we did not use and tree/shrubs all grown up around the fence and onto the patio area of the pool. We love the Rodanthe area and this location is great but improvements can be made to this property in the future.
