Soundside Dog Friendly House with Screened-In Porch with Nearby Beach Access

SOUNDSIDE – Rodanthe – With its central location between sound and seashore, DOWN BY THE DUNES accomplishes exactly that. Pack your fishing gear, your kiteboard and your sandcastle building tools as every day can easily be filled with a new adventure.

Settle into this delightful three-bedroom/two-bathroom home and immediately fall into the gentle pace of the peaceful and quiet neighborhood. The home is dog-friendly and your pet will love the large, grassy lot to play like a pup. On the ground level, an outdoor shower provides a convenient option to clean up from your day and a fish cleaning table will delight the angler who scores the evening’s dinner from Rodanthe’s famous fishing pier. Enjoy one-level living that offers plenty of private space along with room to enjoy each other’s company. There’s a king master bedroom with an ensuite bath and walk-in shower. Another queen bedroom and a room with a bunk and a queen bed share a full hallway bath. All of the rooms feature Smart TVs. Just off these rooms is the great room, where a cathedral ceiling turns a cozy space into a family focal point. A well-equipped kitchen features stainless appliances and lots of counter space to prep your meals, along with a separate wine refrigerator to keep your beverages perfectly chilled. There’s a gas grill on the outdoor deck that also features a picnic table for alfresco dining, or easily serve from grill-to-dining table that seats six inside. Enjoy evenings settling into comfy sofas (one a sleeper sofa) for game night or to stream your favorite shows on the Smart TV. Enjoy Pamlico Sound breezes from the spacious and furnished screened-in porch or gather together on the worry-free deck, complete with a gate.

Of course, being so close to both the ocean and the sound means you’ll be spending a lot of time away from DOWN BY THE DUNES. Just know when you return, that feeling of home will be there to greet you. Book it today!

Relaxing Vacation
We had a great week at Down by the Dunes! The kids loved the hot tub. The location was quiet and easy access to everything. The property was clean and had everything we needed. The only problem was the broken dryer - which we didn’t need anyway. We’re contemplating going back to Rodanthe next year and if we do we’ll definitely rent this property again!

Perfect stay
The house was very clean and well kept. It was the perfect size for our family of four and two dogs. We loved the hot tub! The screened in porch and deck with the gate was great for our dogs. The yard and underneath area was also great. Well stocked kitchen and nice bathrooms. We also loved the big tub in the hall bath. Would definitely come back!
