About the host
Hosted by Darren West

Young family very blessed to have two amazing kids and a new little golden doodle named Oliver. I Grew up on the west coast and lived in Washington state and attended college in Hawaii and Pennsylvania. Use to take trips to the OBX while in school. My wife grew up in Argentina and we met while I worked in Huntington Beach, CA. We enjoy traveling and exploring the world. Also, enjoy hiking and golf, and long walks on the beach. Love the outer banks and what the area has to offer. Glad we can share our property with our guests from around the world. We hope you also feel welcome staying here!
Why they chose this property
When I was in graduate school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania we would have super activities with large groups of young adults in our church on the outer banks of North Carolina. We would rent these large houses on the beach and have big bonfires and sit in the hot tub after a fun day on the beach exploring the area. It was a blast and I have fond memories of that and the amazing beauty of the area. I wanted my family and kids to experience similar things so when the opportunity presented itself we couldn't resist and we bought our first property on the beach in the quaint village of Rodanthe, called "Heads Above"!
What makes this property unique
This property is unique because it is on the beach. I mean literally on the beach. There are fewer of these type of house left in the area and you can hear the soft tranquil waves crashing on the shore from inside the house. But even better there are 3 decks to observe the majestic sea from above or to watch the magnificent sea birds fly by. Two decks are facing the ocean with unobstructed views on the back of the house and they are large with lots of patio furniture and a hot tub. The front porch deck has sound views with the most amazing sunsets! Great place to escape in the early evenings in the lounge chairs with a favorite beverage. Also there are restaurants and shops close and within walking distance or a short bike ride to the house. Convenient in all respects.
