Awe-inspiring ocean views await at this charming, cedar-shingled seaside cottage in the Outer Banks. Open the blinds or the double doors while brewing a pot of coffee and take a seat in the rocking chair on your oceanfront deck to catch the sunrise with the sound of breaking waves and seagulls. If you’ve brought the family pup to this dog-friendly home, a walk on the beach might be in order followed by rinsing the sand from their paws using the outdoor shower. Head back inside as the rest of your group wakes up and starts preparing breakfast. You’ve got a full suite of appliances, ample counter space, and all the quality cookware and gadgets you need to make a quick breakfast or a full buffet. When it’s time to eat, grab a seat at one of the two dining tables or the breakfast bar inside, or slide those double doors open and sit on the upper deck with the salty breeze in your hair. Stow the dishes in the dishwasher and head out to explore the Outer Banks, or just make your way to the beach for a lazy day on the sand.

In the evening, the top floor offers a comfortable seating area, a large TV with cable, and ample space for everyone to relax, build a puzzle, or play one of the many games available. The lighted outdoor lower level offers an area for grilling, digging in the sand, playing corn hole, or having fun on the rope swing. On the first floor, you’ll find all four bedrooms. The main suite, the Captain’s Room, offers ocean views from your King bed, a TV, an en suite bathroom, and your own slider to the lower deck.

The second ocean view room, the Skipper’s Room, features a Queen bed, flatscreen TV, and en suite bathroom with your own deck access. Additionally, the other Skipper’s Room features a comfy Queen with beach sandpiper decor. Lastly, the final bedroom, the Pirate’s Room, offers a pair of twin beds in a Pirate-themed bedroom with a flatscreen TV as well. As you settle in for the night, end the day as you began, on either of your lovely decks, this time watching the stars rise over the ocean. Don’t stay up too late though - you don’t want to miss that sunrise.

THINGS TO KNOW
There is a pirate-themed kids bedroom with a trunk of toys available.
There is a luggage lift (Stair Tamer) available for guest use.

Nice stay at Still Waters
We had a very nice stay at this rental. The house was very clean and comfortable! The kitchen was well stocked with high quality cookware, dishes, etc. The ocean view was excellent from both the first and second floors. Still Waters will be on the top of our list to return to again!!

Like a ship by the sea!
This home is a nature lover’s paradise located right between pea island and the national seashore! Sunrise on the beach and sunsets over the sound, check out the Salvo day use area for prime viewing less than 10 min down the road! Kitchen is well equipped and our pup made himself right at home.

Great location on the beach in Rodanthe. The house is a little dated, but the price was great and the house has everything you need for a family! Like everything in the OBX….stairs! Nice lift for coolers, bags, etc. We’d stay here again.

Great Beach House
We were here from the West coast on vacation and decided to stay here for 2 nights. The house was perfect. There were 2 decks with enough seating for everyone. The views of the sunrise and the ocean were incredible. We sat on the upper deck every morning to watch the sunrise with our coffee. We had some really strong surf when we were there. We had an unobstructed view of the oceans power. The house itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Wish it could have been longer. Checkin and checkout could not have been easier.

Still Waters, Rodanthe, NC
We highly recommend this oceanfront home, the beach being easily accessible around the protected dune. The views were magnificent from the living area as well as the lower level where one falls asleep to the lull of the surf. For us we wanted to rest and relax in the sun, read and surf fish. The weather was beautiful during our entire stay. My husband caught several Kingfish from the surf for three dinners. We have vacationed in the Outer Banks many times over the years and must say this home tops the list. The kitchen is well equipped including the dual coffee maker for pods. We do suggest, however, that the sofa/loveseat be updated and that a non slip mat be added to the tub/shower especially for we seniors. The cleaning staff did a great job prior to our arrival. Again, we highly recommend Still Waters for your Outer Banks vacation.

Loved it!
The front row seats ocean view from this home is incredible and the home is very comfortably appointed. The kitchen has absolutely everything you need to cook anything you want! There is a handy foot wash and shower on ground level so you don't have to track it too much sand, all of the beds are comfortable and the AC works perfectly. There are thoughtful touches such as a multi-charger for all of your phones, binoculars, and even a record player and some records and lots of puzzles and books supplied by the homeowner. If we could have changed our reservation for next year to this house we would have done so, unfortunately Vacasa will not allow that

Board on exterior stairs broken and hidden with a rug posing a safety hazard, broken coffee pot flooded counter top, grill crusted with greasy food, clothes and trash under house, filthy stained carpets.

Amazing !!
This house was more then we could have asked for. The view of the ocean is really great. The best is from the top deck!! It is set back one house length but with no house in front of you , you will love it! It truly is on the ocean! You only have to walk about 150-200 feet to set up a spectacular beach spot. The house offers everything you need and is very nice with the decor. There is only one complaint, and it is not with the house or the ocean view, it’s the cleaning company. The house in in structural order but it was not cleaned upon our arrival. And we are not picky people, but we spent about two hours vacuuming/sweeping and cleaning what should have been done. They did make the beds but that was it, there was food and dirt and sticky stains everywhere. They did give us the ok they were done cleaning , so we did not arrive prior. But still book this house, we were not let down and will book again!! But give yourself a little to clean upon arrival LOL !! Enjoy!

Location can’t be beat
We had a great stay at Stillwaters. The ocean front view can’t be beat. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean’s waves coming in through the open doors leading out to the deck with a beautiful ocean view was amazing. The top deck off the living area offered an even better view. The house was very comfortable for the six of us, including 3 teenage boys. We always stay on Hatteras because we love to get away from the bustle of the northern towns and just have some peace. The kitchen had seemingly everything you could possibly need to cook a feast at first, but we realized it was missing some basic things like potholders, dishwasher soap and garbage bags (you get only the bad that is there when you arrive) which was kind of strange. Keep in mind you will need to bring or purchase literally anything you would need to cook. Even salt and pepper. There is a coffee maker that takes grounds or pods, no coffee is provided. This is not a complaint, just a heads up. You are also expected to vacuum and sweep before you leave which I find very off putting since we pay a pretty good cleaning fee. The floor was a little sandy when we arrived and I’m guessing that’s because it was left to previous tenants. All in all though we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

"Still Waters": A Mixed Bag of Scenic Beauty and Beach Access Woes
Our recent stay at "Still Waters" in Rodanthe offered a blend of delightful views and disappointing limitations, resulting in a somewhat mixed experience. While the property boasted immaculate cleanliness and stunning vistas from both its upper and lower decks, certain drawbacks left us feeling conflicted about our overall satisfaction. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a home that, while charming, displayed dated furnishings. However, any initial reservations were quickly dispelled by the impeccable cleanliness throughout the property. The allure of the upper and lower decks proved irresistible, offering unparalleled opportunities to bask in morning sunrises and indulge in mesmerizing star-gazing sessions at night. The sweeping views of the beachfront were undeniably the highlight of our stay, providing a sense of tranquility and connection with nature that we cherished. Regrettably, the designation of being "beach front" did not translate to guaranteed beach access—a fact that came as a disappointing revelation. Despite our eagerness to immerse ourselves in the coastal experience, the preservation of dunes and the actions of neighboring properties effectively blocked any direct pathway to the beach. This lack of accessibility was a significant letdown, dampening our enthusiasm and leaving us feeling somewhat misled by the property's description. In hindsight, we feel that "Still Waters" should come with a caveat: while it offers breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere, prospective guests should be aware that beach access is not guaranteed and may be subject to external factors beyond the property's control. In summary, while "Still Waters" holds promise as a retreat for those seeking natural beauty and tranquility, its limitations in beach access warrant caution for those with specific expectations of coastal exploration. With improved transparency regarding beach accessibility, this property has the potential to offer a truly exceptional vacation experience.
