Stylish Oceanfront 70s A-Frame, Fully Renovated - Vacation rental home in Rodanthe, NC

*We now provide sheets and towels!*

Stylish, calming and private, step back in time at the "Old Bach," an oceanfront 1975 trapezoidal A-frame, overlooking the massive double dune of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

Inspired by Chris's childhood summers in New Zealand at his family's bach (a rustic beach bungalow, pronounced "batch"), we freshly gut-remodeled and completely modernized the home, while maintaining the original appeal and character. The Old Bach is located on a huge, private oceanfront lot at the end of a peaceful, private street. There is off-street parking for 3-4 cars, including the carport under the home.

Our recent remodel involved flipping the floor plan to create a sizable, open living area on the top floor, with a full kitchen, dining banquette, and comfortable living room with a sizable flat-screen intelligent TV. The living room opens to an enormous deck and pergola complete with a dining table and a comfortable sectional. From the deck you can glimpse the ocean between the dunes.

Downstairs, the staircase is open to the front hall and the cozy TV room, with another enormous flat-screen intelligent TV. There are two queen bedrooms on this level, as well as a stacking washer and dryer, a full bath with a corner shower, and the primary suite. Located in what was originally a huge covered porch, the primary bedroom and bathroom are surrounded by windows. The en-suite primary bathroom features an additional large soaking tub with a shower, and a toilet with a bidet attachment.

The home features all new plumbing, electric, appliances, floor, HVAC, kitchen, bathrooms, and paint. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and premium natural stone quartzite countertops. Both bathrooms have terrazzo floor tiles, handmade wall tiles, and oak console vanities with cast concrete basins.

There is a shady deck with a hammock under the home, as well as two outdoor showers: an open shower where the beach path meets the home, and a private double shower with a changing area. The beach is accessed by a trail leading through the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and over the dunes to the pristine beach.

There are multiple good eateries and modest markets within walking distance. A bigger supermarket is available in close by Avon to the south, or Nags Head to the north.

We newly purchased The Old Bach and refreshed it together as a labor of appreciate. It is our enjoyment to share it with you, but we are looking for discerning guests who value privacy, well-designed spaces, and mutual respect.
