In all seriousness - I think this is common practice. If the house is destroyed or otherwise uninhabitable then I get a refund, but if the area is evacuated then I loose my $$. I guess I should have ponied up for travel insurance. It just seems unfair that I paid for the house and they wont let my relatives who are allowed to be in Salvo/Rodanthe use the place.

I wonder if they will refund my pet deposit at least, since we didn't have a chance to take our dog in the house.

I'm either dense or in wrong business.

Still makes no sense to me how the rental company can try to keep your money.

Seems like very bad business not to refund your money.

I have a rough idea what a week there costs - we are not talking a few dollars.

I may get to go after all:

Updated Information on the Reopening of N.C. Highway 12

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has announced that N.C. Highway 12 will reopen no later than Tuesday, October 11.

NCDOT has been working since Hurricane Irene to restore the road following damage that compromised portions of Highway 12 north of Rodanthe. The project’s Resident Engineer, Pablo Hernandez, has stated, “Our hope is to open before then, but right now we are confident work will be complete on or before the 11th.” He added, “We will open the road earlier if we can.”

Once Highway 12 is reopened by NCDOT, there will be no travel restrictions for any portion of Hatteras Island, including Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon, Buxton, Frisco, and Hatteras Village. With the reopening of Highway 12, residents and visitors will be permitted entry to the previously restricted villages of Rodanthe, Waves, and Salvo.

It is recommended that visitors contact their accommodations provider to confirm the availability of their lodging reservation.
