We had a wonderful stay at this beachfront condo over Spring Break. The location was perfect—right on the beach with easy access to the sand and water, which made our trip extra relaxing. The host truly thought of everything, which made traveling with a family of five so easy and stress-free. The condo itself was clean, comfortable, and well set up for a family stay. We felt right at home and would absolutely recommend this place to other families looking for a great beach getaway.
My husband and very much enjoyed our stay here. We liked the location and you can walk easily to the beach. The unit was clean and had everything we needed and more. It felt very homey and the back deck was wonderful. It had a great view, nicely furnished and blocked the wind so we could really enjoy sitting out there. I would highly recommend staying here.

What a lovely condo and great view of the ocean. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, as we all work so a great vacation. We were able to see the entire island, lighthouses and local cuisine. The only thing is having to leave. Definitely would come back.

Thank you for your kind words! We’re so honored to have been part of your unforgettable OBX memories. Can’t wait to welcome you back.
Our family of 5 stayed here over spring break and it was wonderful. We loved the location and the easy access to the beach. The condo was comfortable and clean and the view from the balcony and was beautiful. The home office was perfect on the day I needed to work. Communication was seamless and the attention to detail was clearly felt. My teenage son said it was a “peak vacation”, which is high praise! We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for an OBX vacation.
All the comforts of home with an amazing ocean view and steps from the beach
Tamara is the most generous hostess offering all the comforts of home the minute you walk in. She makes this beach vacation truly the most relaxed, convenient stay in a beautiful location overlooking the ocean and steps from the beach. Everything you need for vacation and more can be found here, whether you are looking for beach gear, relaxing on the patio overlooking the ocean or a short walk to a sunrise on the beach or sunset on the sound this is the location location location with all the conveniences and pampering that a vacation should be.

I would be delighted to welcome you back anytime! Guests who have stayed with us before can enjoy special discounts on future visits — just reach out to me directly when you’re ready to plan your next Outer Banks getaway.
Warmly,

We had a fantastic week at this property. We comfortably had 4 adults and 2 children with just about any amenity we might need. Tamara truly thinks of everything to make your getaway relaxing and enjoyable. We hope to return soon!
Awesome spot for a quick getaway. Condo has an amazing ocean view and is minutes to the beach via a ramp, making access for families a breeze. Comfortably furnished and the perfect size for a small family, and as someone who drives an EV being a short walk to a charger was a major bonus.
Great view, proximity to beach, pool was awesome! The place was more than fully stocked and comfortable. Responsive host. We could have used more hooks for towels and wet stuff but other than that absolutely zero complaints. Would stay here again!

Tiffany,
Thank you for being our guest and the 5/5 star review.
Based on your suggestion we will add clothes lines to the inside of the two bathtubs/showers when we make it out in the fall of 2024.
There is a clothes line inside of the private, ocean-side balcony railing and we provide clothes pins to secure your items as it is against policy to hang clothing over the condo railing.
We are grateful you decided to let us host your family and contribute to the wonderful memories you made staying in the beautiful Outer Banks, We look forward to hosting you again.
Happy Travels!

I must say we had a couple of hiccups at the start of our vacation but Tamara was quickly on it and got things fixed right away. She cares about her renters and wants them to be completely happy. She has great communication. The condo was perfect location. Just a short walk over the dune to the beach. Perfect size for our family of four. Good food close by. Go visit the Market deli they have really good sandwiches and coffee and beads has been a long standing favorite. Tamara has really thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable.
"Be Our Guest" was the most thoughtfully well-appointed and comfortable unit we have stayed in at Resort Rodanthe (we have stayed in 5-6 other units over the last 15 years.) Our stay was wonderful. Tamara, the host, was always easy to reach. We had a wonderful week!

This was our 2nd year at Be Our Guest, and it remains comfortable and well appointed. The owner provides lots of little extras that most properties don't (coffee pods, laundry and dish detergent, etc), and it's very appreciated!

Tamara was an absolutely amazing host! The property had everything you could ever want or need — she truly thought of every detail. The views were breathtaking, and even when we had a few hiccups during our stay, Tamara was quick to respond and assist right away.There had been some storms in the area that temporarily knocked out the internet for a few hours each day, but Tamara had even thought of that — she provided a great DVD collection as a fun backup option, which we really appreciated.The only issue I personally had was with the sofa — it wasn’t the most comfortable for me due to my age and a recent knee injury. However, a younger couple or a family with small children would likely find it perfectly fine!Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and Tamara’s hospitality made it truly special. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous review! I’m delighted that you enjoyed the stunning ocean views and found the condo stocked with everything you needed for a relaxing stay. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and I’m glad the DVD collection was a fun backup during the brief storm-related internet outages.
I also appreciate your kind note about the sofa. The sofas in the condo are intentionally extra-firm to provide long-lasting support and durability for guests, but I completely understand that everyone’s comfort needs are different — especially when recovering from an injury. Thank you for sharing that perspective in such a considerate way.
It means a lot that you would recommend the condo, and I’d be happy to welcome you back anytime you’re visiting the Outer Banks. Wishing you all the best! -Tamara
Tamara is a hostess with the mostest. She had everything you can imagine to make our stay easier and help us out with our two littles (from games, kites, stuffies etc). The location was great and we couldn’t have asked for a better get away!

So happy to hear that guests of all ages love the little extras we provide. We hope to see you again soon. ~Tamara
We had the best time in Rodanthe last week. The condo was perfect for what we were looking for, supplied the beach equipment needed for our beach days and had a great view of the ocean. We were able to make our own breakfasts and some dinners and had all of the kitchen items needed to do so. Would absolutely recommend and will be back soon hopefully!
We flew in from Utah and arrived late. We had no issues getting into the property upon arrival. Tamara was very responsive to my questions and had a well supplied kitchen and toys for us to use on the beach.
I would gladly stay here again and recommend it to anyone.
Thank you for an excellent time at OBX!!!

About the host
Hosted by Tamara
We visited the Outer Banks, for the first time as a family the winter of 2021. My husband and I took turns driving the 17 hours with our 10-year-old navigator, excited to Zoom school and work remote from a friends condo. It was midnight when we arrived road-weary. As the sunlight and warmth flooded the room early that first morning, the stress of a long, uncertain year seemed to melt away effortlessly. Family meals replaced fast food, and long work hours spent with breaks to yell at my son to stay focused were replaced by him telling me to stop screaming like a child every time I saw a pod of dolphins swim past! We took long walks on the beach and reconnected as a family. Mornings began early with coffee with my husband on the balcony. We explored beautiful areas daily which ended with fires on the beach and popcorn and family game nights and snuggling up with good books or a movie. I remember thinking how odd it was that I felt so very comfortable so far away from home, it felt like we found ourselves on a remote paradise.
During the winter months the sun rises over the Atlantic Ocean and sets over the Pamlico Sound so the balcony and master bedroom was bathed in sunlight all day. Surprised by the mild weather that had the boys swimming in the ocean in December!
I saw it as fate that a unit in this building went up for sale and I quickly dipped into my modest retirement savings to secure Unit 11B. In our home I must compromise with my husband and son with their rustic/sporty design tastes. Here at the shore I was able to rebel against hard durable surfaces and sink into relaxed luxury. I invite you to pamper yourself in my happy place. Allow me to share my love of the area and the warmth of my hospitality with you and your family. I guarantee you will feel relaxed and at home from the first moment you walk in. This is the perfect romantic get away, place to work remote or enjoy with the littles as even they will feel spoiled here.

What makes this property unique
Tranquility awaits on this 200 mile string of barrier islands which, at Rodanthe North Carolina, sits 30 miles from the coast of the United States and is just over two football fields wide. Access the island by North Carolina Highway 12. Rodanthe boasts stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Pamlico Sound to the west. This humid subtropical climate is at its peak June-Sept relieved by a cooling afternoon sea breeze present most days.
Enjoy fine dining, golfing and water sports like swimming, fishing, kayaking, sailboarding, snorkeling, kiteboarding and wreck diving.
The islands are home to herds of feral horses, called "banker ponies", which are descended from Spanish mustangs washed ashore from shipwrecks centuries ago. Horses are found on Ocracoke Island, Shackleford Banks, Currituck Banks and in the Rachel Carson Estuarine Sanctuary.
Many restaurants, shops and markets are family owned and seasonal, closing Oct 31st when one must take the short drive south to Avon or north to Nags Head for fine dining. I recommend every guest try my favorite hot takeout from Waves Deli a 3 minute drive away.
There are 6 lighthouses in the Outer Banks - Currituck Beach Lighthouse, located in Corolla, North Carolina - Roanoake Marshes Lighthouse, located in Manteo, North Carolina - Bodie Island Lighthouse, located south of Nags Head, North Carolina - Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, located in Buxton, North Carolina - Ocracoke Island Lighthouse, located in Ocracoke, North Carolina - Cape Lookout Lighthouse, located in Carteret County, North Carolina
This condo is located near the luxury Camp Hatteras RV Resort & Campground which provides exceptional people watching and expansive Atlantic Ocean views as there are no buildings in the way to spoil your view.
Enjoy an ocean view while you work from a beautiful desk with dual curved monitors, connection cables, keyboard, mouse and comfortable ergonomic office chair.
Come experience the best of the OBX!
