5-Star OBX Oceanfront-home Hot Tub, Bonus Room, Stunning-Views Modern Kitchen!

"Heads Above" is one of the top-rated OBX homes with 5-star reviews, a traditional cedar shake beach bungalow that’s been a favorite for over two decades. Perched on the sand, steps from the ocean, this charming home offers the perfect space for families, friends, or solo travelers. It’s spacious enough to get lost in yet cozy enough for intimate moments. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a week-long stay, this newly updated 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home provides all the modern luxuries for a perfect retreat.

The 2023-renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances is perfect for culinary enthusiasts, while outdoor grilling on the deck offers flexibility for meals with a view. Spend your days surfing, swimming, fishing, or beachcombing, and unwind in the hot tub or on the expansive ocean-facing decks. Guests often spot dolphins, whales, and seabirds like pelicans right off the deck. The front deck offers breathtaking sunsets, ideal for a relaxing tea or evening wine.

Located just a short walk from Rodanthe Pier, local shops, and restaurants, the home provides the perfect balance of beach access and adventure. For more exploration, bike along NC12, visit wildlife preserves, or enjoy the area’s famous lighthouses and sand dunes. OBX offers endless opportunities for outdoor activities.

Book your stay at Heads Above, where tradition, stunning ocean views and unforgettable experiences await!

OBX House
The inside of the home was super clean, decorated nicely. Extremely close to the ocean. The views are spectacular. Especially from the upper deck. Our only issue was the driveway. There was so much sand that it made it hard to walk to and from our vehicle. The driveway should have been cleared, at least to some degree. I notice other rentals had the driveway cleared.

Awesome trip!
Owners were very responsive with any questions and accommodated some changes we requested with no issues which was so helpful to us. You can’t get any closer to the beach! We had an awesome time. A must visit.

Amazing Location and a Wonderful Host
This was our first visit to the OBX and staying at Heads Above was excellent! The customer service and attention we received from Darren was timely and top notch. Darren even provides an App for your smartphone on all the "need to know" topics for the house and surrounding area. The accommodations were comfortable, clean and the location couldn't be beat. The best compliment I could give is that I want to go back.

Awesome Vacation
This was our first trip to the OBX and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. House was clean, comfortable and roomy and the view was fantastic!! There were a couple weather related issues but Darren was quick to respond, kept us updated and issue resolved. Will definitely look to rent again if we go back to the OBX.

Absolutely Perfect
It was one of the best vacations. It was everything we hoped for. The view is breathtaking and peaceful. The place was clean and so roomy. Darren and Claudia were the best hosts. They checked in to see if everything was okay and if we needed anything. Even got us chairs and an umbrella when I mentioned if they had them there. They couldn’t be more accommodating. I will be telling all my friends who want to go to the Outer Banks. We would definitely stay there again. Cheryl C.

Dreamy beach getaway
One of our favorite beach trips yet! Perfect for a family with children to let them run wild on the beach. We spent most of our time outside but the inside was just as great!! The location cannot be beat, the home is extremely cozy, and the hosts are great! We will definitely be back 😀

Great location, amazing host!
Darren is an amazing host! He did a great job of helping me rent the place out last minute and answered every question or concern I had in a timely manner! He’s a great guy and even has his cleaning crew send me my sweatshirt I left behind! The view was absolutely breathtaking and the house itself felt very homey! Would stay here again for sure! Thank you so much Darren!!!

Our best family vacation to date!
Our family agreed that our stay at this property was our best vacation to date! We love OBX and this was our first stay in Rodanthe. The house was perfect and the host was amazing; great communication. The hosts turned what could have been a disaster of a vacation when we were bumped last minute from our original rental into the perfect week. They even arranged amazing weather for us😃. 10 out of 10!
