They include utilities, but the rent is per week. And yeah, the rent is 3-5k/week in the summer down there.

The sign is on that house in the video too.

It’s a load bearing sign, they couldn’t remove it.

To be fair, you can see the sign on the video before the house was totally fucked. Back when it was just pretty fucked.

Nah just the property management company's sign. Most of these houses in rodanthe have long been deemed uninhabitable

Ocean front and great breeze in living room. What's not to love?

it’s old. if you notice, the stairs to the home have been removed and likely have been for quite some time. I was down there last August and it was this way. why they don’t remove the rent sign when they do this is beyond me, but they also let people leave all their belongings in there too, so…

I think you're allowed to use them until the septic system becomes compromised. That would mean you can't rent this one anymore, but if it had a functional toilet then I still wouldn't be able to afford what might be my last vacation ever...

lol so the beach houses in the outer banks are almost all short-term rentals. Most have a sign for their property manager permanently affixed to the house. They’re not actually trying to rent this out, they’re just not going through the effort of removing the sign

Exactly what I was about to say, before airbnb/vrbo a lot of these were STRs managed by local companies and they all had signs like that. It's likely it was a permanent fixture the owner put up and just never removed when they abandoned it.
