You'll have four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, wraparound decks, and a private hot tub and pool, all just steps from the beach.
On the first floor, you'll find plenty of room to find your own private escape in one queen primary bedroom, a second queen bedroom, and a twin bunk with a trundle room. The queen and bunk bedrooms share a spacious full hallway bathroom. The kids will also love the open bonus area with an additional set of twin bunk beds. All four of these rooms open out to the first-floor deck, and all three bedrooms have TVs.

Wall-to-wall views of the sparkling blue waves are reflected in the fun and chic nautical style of the open living room, kitchen, and dining area. Here you can spread out but still spend plenty of time together with comfy couches around the living room fireplace, a dining table for six, and a neat island bar with seats for four. Make your way outside to the top deck for the perfect spots for dolphin watching or a cup of coffee at sunrise.
The main floor is also where you'll find a primary with a TV and a private deck. This spot is ideal for soaking up those Hatteras Island sunsets over the sound. Back on the sandy ground level, enjoy The Knotty Whale's refreshing private pool or an easy walk to the beach. An elevated outdoor shower makes rinsing off easy after a day in the sand and sea. This home is sure to be your family's new favorite vacation spot, so make a splash and book The Knotty Whale today!

We enjoyed how close to the beach it was and could keep an eye on the kids from the deck. Great location, family wants to come again next year!
Location, location, location! Location is Perfect as ocean front property and is so convenient.
Loved the layout of the home and the pool. The home was well stocked with kitchen and personal accessories such as soap, shampoo, pots, pans, etc. This would be a five star rating if there was more beach.
Steps away from the beach. The house was very clean and accommodated 7 adults! The pool and hot tub was an added touch. This is the 2nd time my family has rented the Knotty Whale and we will be returning for another vacation stay in OBX
The Knotty Whale was fantastic! We loved being in Rodanthe. You are completely out of the touristy area so the beach was never crowded. There were times we had the entire beach to ourselves! It was great that we could bring our dogs with us. The unit itself was comfortable but a little worn, but I wasn’t looking for a glamorous house. It was “beachy”. If you are mobility impaired, this would be a tough unit for you. It has 36 stairs to get to the main floor. 36 stairs every time you take the dogs out. 36 stairs every time you go to the beach. 36 stairs every time you go out exploring. (I averaged 10x up and down the stairs every day, but on the positive side, I think I actually lost weight on this vacation! lol) Pros: Location Able to bring dogs On beach Hot tub and pool Cons: Master bedroom mattress needs to be replaced 36 stairs to get on the main level. Beach was beautiful but surf was too powerful for us to go in and swim in the ocean Limited restaurant choices within 10 min driving Overall we loved it here. I would not hesitate to stay at the Knotty Whale again.
Heated pool was perfect for our kids! Loved relaxing in the hot tub and enjoying the view.
