We all enjoyed this house immensely. It's spacious--the bedrooms are separate enough to allow privacy, but the common areas are near to all residents. The location is wonderful and quiet. People who sleep on the top level share the master bathroom on the main floor. Yes, there's a neighborhood cat (we nicknamed her Marsha for the house's location on the marsh). She's very sweet but being feral, she prefers to rub against you without too much petting, so you have to be careful. We found her to be an asset (waking up to find her bathing on a deck chair was hilarious). Anyway, the house was clean, with lovely, subtle landscaping. Very convenient to Rodanthe, Buxton, Frisco, and the Okracoke Ferry. Easy trip to Nags Head area. Far from Duck and Corolla (whole different vibe). The kitchen is very well supplied with tableware and cookware (but if you plan to do much cooking, bring your own chef's knife). This is not a recent build in a development. It's very much an individual house rented by owner. We spent a very comfortable and relaxing week here, and would love to come back!
Wonderful week. Thank you !
The home provides an natural view of the marsh on the soundbite with beautiful sunsets. Everything was provided in the home for a comfortable stay.
The house was close to great restaurants and the Food Lion. Our Daughter rented a condo on the ocean and we went back and forth for sunrise/sunset on the sound side. Beds upper bedroom and main floor were very comfortable the entry level bed not so much. We had hard rain twice and the window in the lower level leaked but was easily wiped up. The cat visited each morning and seemed very friendly until my daughter tried to pet her then when she wasn’t looking swatted her leg. The disco balls were an added bonus!!! Overall great house and would stay again. Thanks for sharing this house with us!!
We were three generations of one family on vacation together for the first time in years and this home was perfect for us. It's eccentric design and decor only added to it's charm. The wheelbarrows to take items from the car to the house were super helpful too. The most amazing beaches on the Atlantic side as well as sound access for paddleboarding were both nearby and made for awesome memories. The kitchen was well stocked with all the needed pans and dishes etc which helped keep our vacation in budget. This house has great views of the sound side sunset over the water, unobstructed by other houses and not so crowded by other houses, unlike any other locations we looked at renting. All in all, we loved this location and it was perfect for us. We'd love to come back sometime.
Very clean and quiet. Quirky decor. Reminded the teenagers of “Pogue Life” from the Outer Banks show. My husband was off put by having to carry all of our stuff back from the parking pad but he soon got over it. (They provide wheel barrels to take stuff back in). Nice place. Definitely recommend!
Enjoyed our stay, very clean, close to attractions
I've stayed in 20+ houses in Avon over the years, and by far, this was the most unique. I love the location and views. It's not for everyone, but it is fo me.
The house is perfect for 6 people. Pros: Beautiful home interior with interesting decor. We didn't mind all the cat decor. (If you hate cats I guess you won't like it.) My wife and I used the main (2nd) floor bedroom and it was pretty awesome. Very comfortable bed. Main floor bathroom is very nice. Shower worked great (didn't use the beautiful big bath tub). Kitchen, dining, and livingroom areas are really cool with tall ceilings and lots of lights and fans. Central air and heat worked great. Nice deck with good view of gulf. Private and quiet. Our two granddaughters had a great time. They slept in the top floor bedroom and couldn't have enjoyed it more. Our daughter and her husband stayed in the downstairs bedroom and they enjoyed it. They loved the screened in deck and hammock. Cons: The cat is a pest and gets a little aggressive at times (kids liked it, of course). The mosquitoes were bad, especially from the parking lot to the house. We had to move pretty fast to keep from being eaten alive! Fortunately they weren't too bad on the decks where it mattered the most! No dishwasher in the kitchen but not a big deal for us. If it was my house I would clean up around the front yard and renew some of the yard decor that is old and broken to make the property a little more presentable, especially since the house itself is so nice. The house is not handicap accessible. Some walking and climbing of stairs is required. For us this was not an issue though. Overall it was a great place and an enjoyable stay. We are happy with our selection of this property for our vacation and would definitely consider coming back again. I recommend this property if the cons are not a problem for you.
Sunset are the best there, lovely stay!
Great location with beautiful views of the sound. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. Chairs and umbrella for the beach. We enjoyed our stay!!!
The home was clean. Sets back off the road behind some trees. Have to carry you luggage on a pathway. There was some wheelbarrows that we used . The Decore is very eccentric but yeah I don’t mind. And the cat it doesn’t belong to the owner. But is out there everyday. Somewhat friendly but likes to nip and swats at you to get your attention. I nicknamed it evil . Lol Overall stay was pleasant.
The best was the gorgeous sunsets on deck and starry nights seen from top floor bedroom. The hammock room and view were outstanding. The keys left for us did not lock the doors so we had to ask for a new set. Our privacy was not respected when a worker let themselves in to touch up paint. Bikes all had flats so bring a pump. A cat hung out the entire time on deck trying to get in and scratched me twice begging for food. My husband was bothered by the strange collection of things everywhere inside and out. I enjoyed the beautiful garden and birds. The uphill trek from car parking pad to house is 70 steps so don’t bring too much. Garage is not accessible. Lost internet connection last 2 days but we were told it may just “pop” back on:( there was no attempt to remedy the connection loss.
Beautiful views of the sound from the deck of this vacation home. Great location. Adequately equipped house. Super easy check-in and check-out
We are a couple who stayed on the main floor. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen very good. The views over the salt marsh are very special. We were prepared for the distance between the parking and the house but surprised there was no sidewalk or boardwalk. So we couldn’t roll our luggage but had to carry it.
We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The house was clean and the location was very quiet and relaxing. The deck is so nice to watch sunsets and sunrises. The owner of the property was very nice and very accommodating. If I had a question I could reach out and she would respond with in a very short time. I would definitely stay again.
The house was exactly what we needed. Off the main path and so serene. Having a couple deer hanging out with us was a bonus. If you need some down time, this is the place to rent.
Great location and sound views. Rough weather for us on our week, but plenty of movies to watch and a stocked bookshelf and family time still made it a good week. Decor is quirky. Only criticism is that the kitchen knives were very dull and so many light fixtures either had burned out bulbs or didn’t work. Only noticed because we were in doing a lot of reading. Still would recommend for a family looking for a decent location without breaking the bank.
