Brenda Had to go see the house myself October 4, 2009 after dropping my sister off for a wedding nearby on the beach. I actually have my photo in front of the house and have it framed. 11/16/2009

Gloria Loved the article and the movie too. The name of the actress in the movie is actually Diane Lane (in case anyone was trying to figure it out). 10/21/2009
local kook. that house was damaged long before that movie came out. i'll be glad when that house finally washes away so you idiotic tourists will stop flocking to it. it wasn't even a good movie! 10/20/2009

sarah We just went and visited "the house" this labor day 09 week. The house still stands, the new steps and porch has been washed away from a storm a few weeks ago. Pigeons spent their summer inside the house and the house was up for sale with no success but still remains just as beautiful to me! 9/12/2009

Seriously worst movie I've ever seen in my life. you can totally tell that Richard Gere loves the gerbils. 7/23/2009
Facto Sounds like a nice day trip. But it's sloppy to get the names wrong, Diane Lane, not Ladd. 7/17/2009
Emily I also went to see the house earlier this year when my family and I took a trip to the outer banks and to be honest -we missed it the first time by. haha. we went to the rodanthe surf shop where i was a major tourist and bought one of their shirts, plus a print of the picture that is on the background. :) anyway, we asked the cashier where the house was and she told us it was the first house going into town. i was too excited to listen so we went the wrong way and went further into the island. but since that was the only thing i wanted to do on our trip ( I AM A MAJOR NICHOLAS SPARKS FAN ) he turned around and we went back by the house. i then realized that was the house i saw going into town in the first place and that it was also the house i had already taken a million pictures of! hahah. the sand was piled high and there was no way to access the beach at that point in the year so we only looked at it from the road, but still, it was pretty amazing! i'm watching nights in rodanthe now and i decided to see what the internet said about the house! haha. 7/3/2009

Bernie It's Diane Lane...not Ladd 2/20/2009
Trolly fyi it's Diane Lane... that is amazing that it is an actual house though! If only it were a little further off the water maybe it would be manageable to up keep. 2/20/2009
Daisy how did you rent the house? 2/18/2009
randomguy i'm really sorry to tell you. (i'm not really sure abot this) but i can at least tell you that the whole movie wasn't shot in that house. there's a house in topsail island, north carolina that they either used for a scene or few. i'm positive about this because i live 3 houses down from it and i met richard gere myself. but that is definitely the house shown in the movie. SO COOL! 1/22/2009
LT Hi Sandra

Thank you for your article and I am jealous that you have been there and I haven't. Maybe one day. I did want to let you know that the lead female actress's name is Diane Lane, not Ladd. Although, there is a Diane Ladd...she used to be on that 70's sitcom, Alice and several movies since. She is also great! Thanks again

Sue Frause Interesting -- but the actress in the movie is Diane Lane, not Diane Ladd. A common mistake! 11/21/2008
Beach Lover Loved this movie, the house is amazing.
From what I have read the filming done inside was not of the actual interior of the house itself. There was some very talented filming of the windows that alluded to the inside. I do hope they make the necessary repairs to restore the house t its former glory.
It is amazing that it has withstood the batterings it clearly receives from the sea as it is. Would love to know more about its history. I have read that it is rented out from time to time.

I live a whole other side of the world away, but hope to someday visit this majestic spot. I hope the house is still standing by then.

Richard Gere and Diane Lane are awesome actors.

chris Diane lane not ladd. 10/19/2008
valwulf Thanks for this. I saw the movie last night and thought that the house could not be a real place but rather another Hollywood fantasy place. Nice to know it does exist. Have you ever been to Middle Earth, perchance? 10/18/2008
Kristina I would LOVE to see this house! Some of my friends were talking about it today, wondering if this house was real or created just for the movie! I'm going to have to make a special trip one weekend to see it for myself! 10/13/2008
Geneva I believe Diane Lane is in the move, not Diane Ladd. 10/10/2008
brenda nicely done descriptive article, and great photo. Hope Diane Lane doesn't read it due to the ooopps on her last name. 10/7/2008
Carolyn Hmmm, the person that wrote this article called Diane Lane, Diane LADD. Let me correct it now, it's Diane LANE. Diane Ladd is about 75 years old I think. 10/5/2008
melanie i was staying 3 house down while that movie was being filmed. i actually saw richard gere during one of the shoots. i have tried to look the house up, but i was actually wondering the address? i know i was stayin in hampton colony, and was wondering if the house was also in hampton colony? and does the inside really look like that? 10/4/2008
