On the OCEAN, need I say more! Home is as described….would be outstanding for visiting family or families! My wife and I loved this short peaceful trip to Rodanthe! Owner Brian was on point with his communication. If you are planning to be one with the majestic aura of the beach and ocean, then this home will help with lasting memories…..Much to appreciate Bożenka and Ramon
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
Beautiful home right on the beach & close to pier. The view was AMAZING! Fully stocked kitchen with an additional refrigerator on the ground floor for back up supplies. Floor plan was ideal for large group lounging on the top floor, yet bedroom suites, game room & hot tub allowed for smaller group connection. Perfect escape for our 20 something children, parents, and siblings. First time celebrating Christmas at the beach. We highly recommend booking yours! Would love to return each season.
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
Beach view from top floor was great. Ac was plenty cold. Parking was hazardous not enough room to maneuver the vehicles. Elevator was a great asset since some of us were elderly and a lot of help getting luggage and groceries to the kitchen and back down when we were leaving. Having the personal items provided was great. Our stay was great and we would recommend the Wave House highly
6 / 10Average·Apr 2026
Stunning Views, but Maintenance and Communication Fell ShortThe house itself is lovely with a functional layout, and the elevator was a huge plus for our group. We really appreciated the en-suite bathrooms for every bedroom, the dolphin sightings at sunrise, and the thoughtful touches like coffee and beach towels.However, the service side of our stay was disappointing. We booked for two weeks, and despite reaching out immediately about a rusted, unusable grill and missing hand towels, it took nearly a week to resolve. The pool was our biggest issue: despite clear communication weeks in advance about wanting it heated for our second Saturday, it wasn't usable until the following Friday. The pool remained sandy and the deck was cluttered with stacked chairs throughout our stay. While the host, Brian, was responsive, the actual follow-through from his maintenance and cleaning teams was lacking. We did receive a 300 credit for the pool, but it didn't quite make up for losing a week of a paid amenity.Trisha F
