Check your flight plan online with a full video tour and pictures! See what other guests have to say about the Frequent Flyer in the traveler reviews section and don’t forget to like us on Facebook.

Why choose the Frequent Flyer? Because the Frequent Flyer features four bedrooms, each with their own private bath, two with private decks! This fully appointed vacation home boasts spacious living and dining areas, a cook-pleasing kitchen, and expansive decks for incredible views of the Pamlico Sound and breathtaking sunsets. You can access the Sound via a private grassy lawn to swim, fish, or play using the owner-provided kayaks and stand-up paddleboards! The Atlantic Ocean is just a short walk with paved access all the way to the beach. There you can relax all day thanks to owner-provided chairs and umbrellas. There are no long paths across dunes to struggle with on this part of the island. You can stay connected with complimentary internet access or unplug and tour the villages on the owner-provided bikes. Sit back, relax, and make your vacation a first-class experience at the Frequent Flyer.


The Frequent Flyer from a Parent’s Perspective

If you’re like me, “family vacation” brings Chevy Chase and the Griswold’s to mind. Bored kids, an over-packed “family truckster” and expensive meals are just the beginning! I wanted to share why vacationing with my family at The Frequent Flyer takes the National Lampoon out of the equation and makes for not only great family fun but also a real vacation for me.

The ‘man cave’ (aka garage area) of The Frequent Flyer is packed with extras to keep everyone busy! From sand toys to bikes and Kayak’s to stand-up paddleboards, the family will have plenty to do and you won’t have to pack, or worse rent, all of the toys that make life at the beach more fun. There are even beach chairs for the whole family!

From the best tanning deck on the house, I can watch my kids play safely on the beach of the shallow-water Sound. They spend hours trying to catch hermit crabs and minnows while I catch up on my tan and favorite book.

The fully equipped kitchen means we can save a fortune on restaurant meals and my teenagers can eat their late-night cereal and frozen pizza. We save buying the bulky but essential items such as napkins, tin foil, saran wrap, toilet paper, and cleaning supplies because the owner provides them as a convenience. And when you decide to eat out, the local restaurants are family-friendly, reasonably priced, and amazing.


The Frequent Flyer from a Watersport Enthusiast

The Frequent Flyer has a grassy 1 acre Soundfront lot, a perfect rigging area for every water sport. The winds from the S to NNE are ideal for kiting and windsurfing on the Sound side. While it is possible to kiteboard on the inside of the bridge area, you will likely want to access the water west of the bridge. As winds go NE to SE, you can launch directly across the street on the Ocean side.

The house includes a ground floor enclosed ‘man cave’ plus a storage room for equipment. There are equipment racks outside for drying and inside to lock up at night. A half bath and two showers are outside under the house, in addition to a cleaning station with a utility sink and hose. We can clean up our gear so that it is ready the next day. Rigging, launching, and storing your gear is a breeze at the Frequent Flyer.

The ‘man cave’ also has a small bar, and a fridge which adds to the convenience factor. This house really caters to those who want access to the Sound and Ocean for watersports. When the wind is not blowing, the Frequent Flyer still delivers with 6 bikes for cruising the island, 3 kayaks, and 2 stand up paddleboards. And of course, no trip to Hatteras Island is complete without a visit to the local surf shops. Fortunately, Real Watersports, Kitty Hawk Kites, and other shops are all within a few miles.


The Frequent Flyer from a Fishing Perspective

Why settle for the Ocean or Sound when you can have them both! The Frequent Flyer is located on a very narrow segment of the island providing access to both Ocean and Sound fishing. If your target is inlet fishing, “Oregon Inlet” and the “New New Inlet” are just north of the Frequent Flyer.

Convenient storage areas make unloading and storing your gear simple. A deluxe, outdoor fish-cleaning table makes prep a breeze. Bring your casting net as bait can easily be caught along the shore of the Sound. If you prefer to buy bait or need to update your fishing gear, several bait and tackle shops are just down the street including, Hatteras Jack.

Offshore Fishing Charters are available from nearby Oregon Inlet or head south to the Hatteras Inlet. The Frequent Flyer is a dream vacation spot for avid fishing enthusiast and novices alike.

The Rodanthe ‘Jug Handle’ bridge bypasses the S-curves area just north of Rodanthe. The southern terminus of the bridge comes back into land South of the Frequent Flyer, along Pappy lane. To fish near and under the bridge, you can walk from the Frequent Flyer private Sound access lot as the water is shallow. Trout and Drum are plentiful.

Please let me know of any questions or concerns. We look forward to another great season in 2022 and make it our goal to ensure everyone has a 5-star vacation experience.

Great Vacation Week
The Frequent Flyer was the perfect vacation spot for our family. Located perfectly between the sound and the ocean, and supplied with all of the "toys" needed for land and sea activities, it was exactly what our family needed for a great week of fun, relaxation, and bonding. We loved it and hope to come back again next year.

All the OBX Comforts
Clean, beautifully maintained and comfortable, with cool kitesurfing decor, this base for obx fun is situated to savor the sound and almost as close to the beach, and so outfitted for fun you can leave your paddleboard and kayak at home. This was our second year @Frequent Flyer and it won't be our last!

Relaxing getaway
The Frequent Flyer proved to be a fantastic place for our week in the OBX! We loved being so close to the Sound and the ocean! We really enjoyed the kayaks and SUP boards and even used a few of the bikes. The sunset views from the deck did not disappoint. The kitchen was also well stocked with everything we needed. Mark was an incredible and reliable host and we hope to visit again!

Perfect!
Our week in Rodanthe was amazing! Frequent Flyer worked perfectly for our group of 8. We made use of every inch - the kitchen/living area was plenty big and comfortable enough for everyone! The back deck saw plenty of happy hours and sunset watches. The beautiful beach was close enough to walk back for lunch easily. Loved this stay!!!

Great house on a great piece of property
Great, clean, spacious house with lots of light. Great view. Lots of lawn to launch kites. Quick 5 min walk over to the ocean side for walks or kiting when the wind blows off shore on the sound. Loved it!

Excellent vacation
We loved the Frequent Flyer. The area is a nice mix of quiet yet still things to do. All the toys in the garage were a huge plus. We rode the bikes every morning to a different part of the beach and treated ourselves to a breakfast biscuit! The house was lovely and just as it appears in the pictures. Sunset every night off the deck was a great way to end the day.

We chose this house for vacation because of the positive reviews, proximity to the sound and ocean, and amenities. We were not disappointed upon arrival to find out that the advertising was accurate. We needed Mark a couple times, and he was prompt, professional, and perfect for taking care of us. We are a big family and needed a week away, and this place provided the respite we needed. We would encourage others to consider this vacation spot!

This four bedroom house was perfect for us and our adult children. Everything you need for an active vacation was provided (bikes, SUPs, kayaks, games and beach gear). We also enjoyed just sitting on the multiple decks. We appreciated that Mark checked in on us, but we had no problems or concerns.

Perfect for a family of seven
The house was immaculate and perfectly suited for 7 adults as every bedroom had a full bathroom and there was plenty of room in the common areas. We also loved hanging out on the three decks that overlooked the sound. The ocean access was a short walk down the driveway and across the street. Mark was extremely responsive to any questions. I don’t hesitate to recommend this awesome vacation home.

Excellent property
Our family had a great time at the Frequent Flier! Each of the 4 bedrooms were set up perfectly with their own private bathroom. In addition there is a half bath on the main floor so everyone’s bathroom stayed private. The outdoor showers are super handy and fun. Location was great for walking to the beach. The large dining room table made for great family meals and transformed into a fun game table at night. Mark responds super quickly and is so helpful. We had a great week making family memories here!!

Great vacation home!
We had a wonderful time staying at the Frequent Flyer! All of the toys (aka kayaks, bikes, paddleboards) were in great condition! The owner has really thought of everything that you may possibly need including beach chairs, umbrellas, game of bags/ cornhole, and many more. The kitchen was very well stocked with equipment including a mixer, every pan imaginable and basically everything you'd need to make great meals! We have stayed at other rentals through VRBO and I can definitely say that this property has by far the most amenities of any that I've been to. Highly recommend!

Great Getaway
We had never been to OBX before and were looking for a location that was less touristy and more laid back. This definitely checked both boxes. The house was perfect for 7 of us and we loved sitting on the deck in the morning with our coffee and then again at night to watch the sunset. Everything was as described in the listing and Marc checked in multiple times throughout the week to make sure everything was going well. I would definitely recommend the Frequent Flyer to anyone staying in Rodanthe! Hoping to get back down in a year or two.

Excellent Vacation in Wonderful House
This was our first time in OBX and we really enjoyed the stay at Frequent Flyer. Nice location in the middle of the OBX, it is convenient to visit everywhere. House is super clean, comfortable and quite, has very beautiful views. Kitchen has all for cooking. Ocean is just several minutes' walking away. We had so much fun playing kayaks, paddle boards, riding bicycles. Watching sunset from the deck was one of the most beautiful moments. Owner Mark is an awesome host, he answered all the questions right away and gave great recommendations. This vacation house suites the needs for various families, we highly recommend it, and we will definitely return.

OBX Family Vacation at the Frequent Flyer
Annual family vacation. First time to OBX. House was very clean & well suited for our extended family. Frequent Flyer has many amenities as well as a well stocked kitchen. Private bathrooms in every room were definitely a bonus. Paddle boards & kayaks were frequently enjoyed for fishing & exploring the sound. Beach was a short walk from the house. Many laughs & drinks were shared on all three decks. Our stay couldn’t have possibly been more enjoyable. Mark was very attentive & checked in periodically to make sure everyone was enjoying their stay. The only downfall was our week was far too short. Thanks for sharing your home with us. We highly recommend staying at the Frequent Flyer anytime you are in Rodanthe.

Rodanthe Frequent Flyer
Took the whole family out to the Frequent Flyer and had a wonderful time. Kayaks were a blast with easy access to the sound. It rained the week before our stay and a couple times while we were there. The mosquitoes were horrendous, so bring lots of bug spray to get the kayaks to the water. House was a wonderful place to call home for the week. Loved the clotheslines for drying swim suits. Games for evenings after exploring. Beautiful sunsets from the deck. Lots of goodies, well stocked for kids and families, which is something we really appreciate in a rental. Mark checked in and made sure to let us know he was available if we needed anything or had questions.

Encore! Encore!
What’s to say but that Mark’s crazy-well equipped Frequent Flyer has quickly become an integral part of our annual escape to Rodanthe. As repeat guests who predate the close-by Jug Handle bridge, we might also add that we think nothing is lost here. The beautifully understated bridge somehow elevates those killer sunsets. Biggest relief? No privacy lost for the outside showers. Mark could not have acted w more diligence when the washer that started the week broken had to be replaced. Nice to be in such great hands!

Best of Both Worlds
This was the perfect getaway. We had 6 adults and 1 three year old and a baby. It was super - the sound was fabulous. And when you wanted the beach it was at the end of the drive across the road. Plenty of space. Plenty of toys provided by Mark and his family. We spend quite a bit of time in the sound which I personally loved. Never seen sunsets quite like this. We will be back. Who knows we may visit the other property next door. Thanks Mark for sharing your place.

Amazing vacation!
My family and I had the most wonderful time at Frequent Flyer last week. The house was perfect - clean, comfortable, well-stocked, absolutely no complaints. We cooked all of our meals, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Went out on the provided paddle boards and kayaks every night to watch the AMAZING sunsets over the sound. The walk to the beach is easy and short, just across the street. We would walk over in the mornings (beautiful sunrises over the ocean!) and at night, but chose to drive to the public access when we were hauling beach chairs and umbrellas. The public beach access is less than a 2 minute drive with plenty of parking, showers, and bathrooms. I would recommend the Frequent Flyer to any group and for any occasion! Thank you for a great vacation, Mark!
