About this property

Anna's Beach Cottage Ocean front Home in the OBX

World class surfing, fishing, and kite boarding. The house is 60 feet from the beach. The view is incredible! House rents Sunday to Sunday only.

Sip your drink and enjoy the majestic view of the ocean from the deck of Anna’s Beach Cottage. Forget something in the house after walking down to the beach, not a problem. Our home is only steps away from the ocean.

When entering our house, you will be awakened by the colors of shells and the ocean. Our main living area is a place to sit back and soak up the view. We know that eating out is fun but sometimes it’s equally fun to relax and stay in with family and friends after a full day at the beach. Our house is fully equipped with kitchen gear to make cooking a breeze.

The bedrooms are all comfortably furnished making for a great night’s sleep. We even have a portable crib and high chair for the little ones.

So enjoy the beauty of the Outer Banks from one of the best views you can get….from Anna’s Beach Cottage. Our home is fondly named after my great grandmother, Anna, from Vietri Sul Mare in Italy.

We are located on Hatteras Island in the small fishing village of Rodanthe. We are 30 minutes south of Nags Head. Hatteras Island is a fisherman's paradise. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore continually makes the top ten beaches in the United States.

Surfing and Kite Boarding...

Rodanthe is the east coast surfing and kite boarding capital. You can easily watch the surfers from our deck. If you like kite boarding, you have arrived. The Pamlico Sound is a great spot to board, or even in the ocean if you're an expert. Hatteras Island is a barrier island off the coast of North Carolina which makes our island a narrow one. You can see the Pamlico Sound from our deck and take in a sunset.

History....

If you're a history buff, you will certainly enjoy your visit here. Our coast is called the "Graveyard of the Atlantic" because of the numerous shipwrecks over the years. The coast is difficult to navigate, therefore, the first coast guard station is located right down the road from us..Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station. You can also drive 30 minutes south on Route 12 to the village of Buxton and climb the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The outer banks has several lighthouses to visit. There is a museum on shipwrecks and pirates (Blackbeard) in Hatteras village. There are many artifacts in the outer banks from shipwrecks. The outer banks is also well known for the first flight of the Wright Brothers over the giant sand dunes at Jockey's Ridge. The Wright Brothers Memorial is a landmark for aviation history.

Nature and Bird Watching....

Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge is a ten minute drive from our house. It's refuge for local and seasonal birds. There is a ranger on staff during business hours. They have nature hikes and discussions throughout the season. This area is known for sea turtle rescue. There are often sightings of loggerheads and other turtles.

Fishing...

Oregon Inlet Fishing center is the hub of fishing charters. The Oregon Inlet connects the sound with the Atlantic Ocean. Charters are popular because the gulfstream is only a few miles from the inlet. On some days you might even see the shrimp boats coming in when you cross over the Bonner Bridge. Charters are available all year round. The fishing center is a great place to go around 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. and watch the fishermen bring in their catch for the day.

Kid's Stuff....

Of course there's our great beach, but if you want to venture out...there are other things to do. You can take the children to the sound side where it's very shallow with little waves. The incline into the water is very gradual which is fun for the kids. North Carolina Aquarium is 30 minutes away in the town of Manteo. There are also small amusement areas 30 minutes north of us which have miniature golf and go carts.

Dining...

If you are looking for a Burger King or McDonalds, you will be disappointed. Our restaurants serve local fish and cuisine and are operated by the locals. Fresher fish would be hard to find. There are places to go out for breakfast and dinner very close to our home if you do not want to cook.

Additional information:

Our house is situated on our lot on a 45 degree angle which makes the view from the front window incredible.

We have an extensive DVD collection too.

Beautiful, fun and cozy beach house
This is our family's 3rd stay at Anna's Beach Cottage, we had a great time. The house is just by the ocean, you can see the waves and the horizon right from the living room through the large windows. It was just the right size for our family of 5, my daughters loved the bunk beds. The internet was very strong, the kitchen was well stocked, the furniture was plentiful in the living room for just talking and connecting as a family. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Family Halloween getaway
We had a wonderful time - grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, and 3-year-old. We loved the close access to the beach front and enjoyed traveling to Pea Island wildlife refuge, Kitty Hawk, and the Hatteras lighthouse. This was a great spot to anchor all of our adventures!

Ocean front
My first stay in the outer banks couldn't have been in a more beautiful setting. Laura & Brian's house is simply perfect. We loved the decor, the bin of movies, the views, and the kitchen island is a dream for a larger group to eat around. Owners were very responsive & we loved our vacation

Ladies Retreat
What a wonderful time we had staying at this lovely beach house. It was so nice we hardly left! Why would you need to when the ocean is your front yard and the cottage had everything we could need! There were 3 of us friends and our first time to this area. We went in September and Rodanthe was quiet and laid back. Just what we needed! If you are looking for a relaxing get away this is the cottage for you! Highly recommend!

Catch a Wave!
For the first three years, all we did was work on our beach house. I didn't even realize that my husband, Brian, liked to fish. Brian occasionally has caught some fish that we have cooked and ate for lunch. My son, Gabriel, would like to learn to surf.

I'm Laura. I took all the photos of the house and decorated it. Occasionally, I get stuck with painting too. I wanted to make the house a place where you could relax and enjoy the place even on a rainy day. I own an interior design business back at our permanent home.

We got married in the outer banks and it's always been a special place for us...we say "A moment in time".

Why they chose this property

Our house is called "Anna's Beach Cottage" named after my grandmother from Italy that came to Ellis Island in New York in 1902 as a passenger in steerage on a ship. When I first saw the house, it looked like a boat to me so I knew it would work.

One last thing...sometimes your cell phone doesn't work here...which we think is great.

What makes this property unique

Location of the house on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore...what a view...doesn't get much better then that.
