Alex's Hideaway

You’ll have a whole week to lounge in the sun or fish from the pier - why not make one of your days truly memorable? Jump out of a plane with Skydive OBX! Just a short drive north of Alex’s Hideaway in the scenic town of Manteo, adventure awaits! Speaking from personal experience, it’s something you will never forget or regret.

Heads up to all of our guests! The normal 45 mph speed limit through Rodanthe, Waves and Salvo, as well as other populated areas, has been reduced to 35 mph for the remainder of the season. There are always pedestrians and bicyclists crossing NC12 so keep your eyes on the road and your foot off the gas!

Today's the day! Our crews will be out changing signs along the locations on NC12 where seasonal speed limits take effect (Tri-Villages, Corolla, Avon, Frisco, etc.). Please slow down this summer and be aware of bikes and pedestrians on the roadway: https://bit.ly/4j4sIeu

Ever wonder how many windows Alex’s Hideaway has? There are 34 windows, 5 glass sliders and 3 glass doors. I hate every one of them.
They are, however, all clean so you can see the ocean. Enjoy the 2025 season. We’re almost ready!!

There’s a flurry of activity at Alex’s Hideaway as we approach the homestretch to opening day! One of the notable improvements made during the off-season was to what we called the “Tetanus Tiki Bar.” It was made from rickety old shipping pallets with nails that kept backing out. As you can see in the photos, the new Tiki Bar area offers a much safer and enjoyable experience as you socialize by the pool!

We’re happy to share this video from Amy & Corey Crooks who own Atlantic Dreams, the yellow house two doors down. I’d love to produce a similar a video but they have much better editing skills! They highlight several area attractions and do an excellent job of conveying the “feel” of the Outer Banks. If you look, you’ll spot Alex’s Hideaway!

Off-season goin’s-on at Alex’s Hideaway! A little cold wind and rain can’t stop preparations for the upcoming summer! This project has been on the list since we bought the house in 2020 - we call it the “Trash Alley.” It was a dark, foreboding area by the ground-level entrance where the trash carts go. The decking was just rotten, splintered wooden pallets that were a growing safety concern. All of that was ripped out and replaced with the decking seen in the following photos. And with a new, motion-sensitive light, taking out the trash at night won’t be so scary anymore.

Today marks the end of our 2024 season and we just want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our wonderful guests, as well as the many people who live and work on the Outer Banks that make it possible. With all of the devastating losses to homes along the shore this season, we are reminded just how fragile this strip of land is. It drives home the importance of our role as caretakers, stewards if you will, of this paradise. We look forward to next summer when we hope to see many of you return!

We just enjoyed a very peaceful week with dinners at Good Winds and Neptunes. The Rodanthe Pier had music most every night and we did various things to the house preparing it for the next 7 weeks of guests.

We have kept our prices the same for three years (against the recommendations of our property manager) trying to make our home a place where families can get together and make memories. That’s been our goal since we bought the house four years ago. We’ve dealt with the theft and damage to the house and for some reason, we’re having issues this season with people smuggling their pets into our no pet home. We love pets but we don’t like the damage and cleaning involved for our overworked cleaners. We have claw marks on our doors and chew marks on various parts of our house. There are plenty of homes that allow pets. Please rent them.

We’ve had so many amazing guests over the years and we always make ourselves available for questions and help. We give our personal email and telephone numbers so that your stay is carefree and peaceful.

Make memories with your families and friends and please treat our home like your own. That’s all we’ve ever asked.
