Loved The Movie, Bought The House

This house in North Carolina was the setting for the romantic movie "Nights in Rodanthe" starring Richard Gere. It was originally built in the 1980s.  At that time, there was plenty of beach area between the house and the water; in fact, there was about 400 feet of beach.

Over the years, the storms, hurricanes, and erosion wreaked havoc on the beach so that the house was literally sitting in the water.  



After the movie was completed in 2008, the house was condemned by the city.  


Along came a couple who absolutely loved the movie and they wanted to buy the house because they heard it was condemned and they wanted to try to save it.  After jumping through some governmental hoops, they were successful in purchasing the house.  Then because of beach erosion, they had to move it across the beach a short distance. They took their time to do renovations and they are now using it as a romantic vacation rental.
