House made famous in ‘Nights in Rodanthe’ moving

RODANTHE, N.C. — The Outer Banks beach house made famous in the movie “Nights in Rodanthe” has a new location.

A Dare County Web camera showed movers pulled the house, called Serendipity, from its spot at the end of the Hatteras Island community of Rodanthe about 10:40 a.m. Monday. The house was moved less than a mile south to a safer location that’s still beachfront
and still in Rodanthe.

The house was supposed to be moved Friday, but the Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk reported that contractors The Dare County Sheriff’s Office said the permit to move the house expired
at 2 p.m.

A bail bondsman from Newton and his wife purchased Serendipity and paid to move it. Dare County had declared the surf-endangered house a nuisance.
