Relax at Brightwaters! Oceanview Dog Friendly w/ Hot Tub and Close Beach Access
OCEANVIEW Rodanthe - Sea Oats Dr. Time really does come to a standstill when you cross the bridge or ferry onto Hatteras Island. Slow down and relax, you're at BRIGHTWATERS, just 4 lots from the ocean. Brightly colored walls, blonde-wood wainscoting and trim, spacious rooms, and lots of windows keep the mood light, bright and relaxed. A covered, weather-proof entry leads to 2 downstairs bedrooms that share a bath. On the second floor is a master bedroom with its own bath. This bedroom opens onto a deck with a view of the ocean. Two bedrooms on the second floor share a bath; one of them opens onto the deck with ocean views. Upstairs is an open living and kitchen area with a deck and ocean view. It's an easy walk to the famous Rodanthe surf breaks, convenience stores and tackle shops, and the Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Worst ever. Been going for 27 years.
1. Loaded gun with bullet in the chamber left at cottage from previous guest. Thank God it was my husband who found it and not one of the kids.
2. Filthy= With Covid this unbelievable....
3. Only 2 of the 5 advertised TV'S work.
4. No trundle beds as advertised, thin matress slid under the bunk bed.
5. Outdoor shower= Warm water nozzle is broken off so you only have cold water.
6. Trash on arrival= 2 cans overflowing with trash blowing around everywhere all over the yard. Rental company not quick at responding to this. So we had to keep our trash in the cottage from Saturday to Monday at 3:30pm.

See below
It rained and the entire Parking lot was mud. TV’s were hard to work in bedrooms. Spa cover was saturated with water and almost impossible to remove. I’m a 240llbs man and a weight lifter and I could barely put cover back on. Hose bib handles were rusted beyond reason and deck was slippery when wet and ice maker did not make ice. Outdoor shower head was rusted and it didn’t work properly. There was white dog hair on the couch and I am allergic to dogs
