Beach week bliss
We had a wonderful week staying at “Island Time”. The house was perfect for our family (3 adults, 2 kids and 2 dogs) and the proximity to the beach was unbelievable. The views from every deck were breathtaking, my kids loved the pool, little details in the house were a pleasure to witness and communicating with Steve was effortless. Thanks for a great week. We will definitely be back!

Loved staying at Island Time!!!
We had a great time. This is the first time we have ever booked a house and it far exceeded our expectations! It was our grandkids first trip to the ocean and they loved it. We loved the pool and hot tub. We spent more time in them than I thought we would. Everything was very clean and well organized. The washer and dryer was a very good feature as we did laundry while we were at the pool and had less to wash when we got home. The kitchen was well equipped, we had pasta night and we even made cookies with kids one night! We all loved it and didn't want to leave!!! We will definitely be back!!!Thank You!!!

Awesome Views, Great House, Great Host
Even though this location is technically not on the ocean; it sure feels like it. We loved sitting on the deck watching and hearing the waves crash on shore. The kids were in the pool twice a day. Beds were comfortable; kitchen is recently updated and has newer appliances and well stocked with silverware and plates for our family. Steve was very good with communicating and answering questions. Overall; we were very happy with our first visit to OBX and will return again.

We loved our stay . The area is beautiful and the house was perfect. Had everything we needed
I would 💯 stay here again. The house is like being at home . The beds are super comfortable. We were able to bring our little dogs and had our very own pool , which was so nice and a hop skip and a jump from the ocean . Also the local coffee shops and restaurants are very close .

Great house, great memories made!
We had a great time at this house. This was our 2nd year there and it didnt disappoint. It has plenty of space for the family. We made great use of all of the decks with great views. On one side of the house you can see the sunrise and the other the sunset. It has a great pool that felt great on those hot days. The beach is just a short walk away and was wonderful. We enjoyed going to the pier each night for live music. The kitchen has all you need to cook at home. Steve was very responsive and kind when there was a minor maintenance issue that popped up. All in all I would highly recommend this house and hope to come back again!

Wonderful family vacation home
We had a wonderful family vacation renting this home. It is close to the beach. The house has everything you'll ever need to make your Rodanthe visit the best ever. The owners are lovely and very easy to contact. They are on top of everything do everything to make your visit the best. The area is very laid back and close to great restaurants.

Island Time Highly recommended for families
House was well stocked with kitchen accessories: plates, cups, silverware, utensils, etc. Bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and had all that was needed. Beautiful view with good seating from the many decks. Great pool area, fenced in. Short walk to ocean. Highly recommend for small families looking for a cozy home feeling!

Nice
Nice house…sofa was in need of a good cleaning but not unexpected in a property that allows pets. Beautiful and well-stocked kitchen. Great pool and hot tub (although maneuvering the hot tub cover on and off in the small enclosed porch is very difficult)! Easy beach access and better views than we expected. Homeowner quick to respond and very pleasant!

Great week at a Great house.
What a great house and a great location, 90 second walk to a wonderful beach. House had everything we could have wanted with 4 spacious bedrooms. Pool area was awesome! Private and sunny!! We had one minor issue that I only mention because the property owner responded IMMEDIATELY and had it resolved for us with-in an hour. We could not have been happier with our choice and are starting to plan our return trip! Thank you, Steve and Debra.

Great location in Rodanthe with easy access to beach.
My family enjoyed our vacation at Island Time in Rodanthe. The house was the perfect size and location for our family of 4, and our dog. We enjoyed the ocean views from multiple decks on the home, and the easy access to the beach. The private pool was a nice and relaxing reprieve after the hot and sunny days at the beach. The Owner, Steve, was very responsive and quickly addressed a minor issue we were having getting the AC to kick on. It was easily resolved and we had no more issues throughout our trip. I would definitely recommend Island Time to other families who are planning a vacation to the Outer Banks.

Pleasant
It's challenging to find a house that allows dogs, with a private pool, close to the ocean. While a little cramped, the house ticked all the boxes for an affordable price. The walk to the beach is actually comparable to many beachfront homes with long private access. We had a few minor issues during our stay but the property manager was attentive, polite, and helpful with any questions.

Awesome house
Can't say enough nice things about this house. It checked all the boxes for us. So close to beach, house was immaculate, super dog friendly with gates on the stairs, fully stocked kitchen, nice size pool, hot tub, passes to pier. I could go on the on. You won't regret staying here. I think we may have finally found our perfect rental for our small family in Rodanthe. Only took 10 years.

Relaxation Island
Island Time was just what we were looking for. Gorgeous views, perfect distance to the beach, wide porches, gates with latches, screened in porch, hot tub, pool, outside shower, hose to wash off after a day at the beach and dog friendly and clean. We enjoyed EVERY SPACE of that house! There wasn't 1 thing we needed that wasn't there. We had some questions for Steve, I sent him texts and he responded promptly. Very friendly, efficient and helpful. Would definitely recommend staying at Island Time. Thanks Steve

Excellent family vacation spot
We were so pleased with our stay at Island Time! The house was located close to the beach (like a block away: 2-3 min walk) and had everything you needed basically. The kitchen was stocked with all the basics and then some, that you would need to cook. The decor was beachy and inviting. The pool was amazing! We didnt use the hot tub, but it looked great and inviting. We had 7 people and 2 dogs in the house and it never felt crowded. The outdoor deck space was the best...beautiful views of the ocean and sunrise and sunsets. I think the decks were the dogs favorite spaces too, with gates on them so they could roam freely. The area was family friendly and not over crowded. Overall, we would highly recommend this house and hope to come back and stay again soon!

Can't wait to return!
Island Time was the perfect spot for our OBX beach vacation. The house was just the right size for our group ( 6 adults, 1 infant, 1 dog).. more would have been tight. The pool was comfortable break from the beach.... and the beach was so close!!! We could easily come back for naps and to check on the dog.The hottub took us a bit to get the right temp , but once we did it was delightful.. especially on a rainy afternoon. A couple restaurants and coffee shops were an easy walking distance.. we cooked several dinners and breakfast each day and the kitchen had more than everything we needed. For grilling it is a simple charcoal grill, but it worked well for burgers and chicken. We stayed right in the middle of the summer, so there was a bit of sand accumulated in the house, but super clean for a pet /beach rental and I cant wait to get back to Island Time!

Perfect Beach House
Island Times is the perfect vacation home for our family of 5 + 1 Golden Retriever. We have visited many of the east coast beaches, but this is the only home we've visited in back to back years. It's not overly fancy, but it is exactly what a beach house should be; clean, comfortable, well equipped and perfectly sistuated. I spent the whole winter looking for homes that have better amenities and I have to say Island Times may be the best value out there. You can't find too many 4 bedroom homes in this price range that are this close the beach, with a pool, hot tub, etc. (Don't get me wrong, prices have gotten outrageous, but so have prices for everything else.) While it's not beach front, it is a very short walk to the beach and the pier where my son fished all week long. It may even be a shorter walk to the beach than some beach front homes we've stayed in. Bedrooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could ask for to cook at home. The pool is large and there are decks at every level to either take in or get out of the sun. Perfect for Us! Little Nit Picks As anyone who's been to the Outerbanks understands it is always windy. Because of this, and the fact that 5 people are using it daily, the pool gets pretty dirty by the end of the week. The owner does have a net that we used daily, but it would be great to have a mid week cleaning or some other way for renters to keep the pool clean.

Wonderful time!
We had a great stay! Two families with small kids (combined 4 adults and 4 kids under 4 years old). The beaches are beautiful and an easy walk from house. Water was so nice and in afternoon at low tide it was so much fun for kids to play on the huge sand bar! The Rodanthe Pier access was perfect for bathroom and beach snacks. My daughter loved that she could have ice cream from pier shop every day! You can also walk to multiple restaurants - we were able to take strollers to Atlantic Coastal Cafe very easily and other dinner options are even closer. The house has multiple decks with beautiful ocean views - so relaxing to sit out and enjoy with a glass of wine after kids went to bed. Kitchen was well stocked with plates and glasses and cookware. The large covered space on lower level was perfect for storing our beach stuff and strollers and hanging out. Owners were so helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. Thank you for a wonderful time!
