L'etoile de mer modern Beach House

Loved our stay here! The kitchen is well equipped, and we loved the layout. The reverse plan allows for beautiful views and the open layout is perfect for hanging with family while cooking. Will definitely stay here again when in Avon!

Great Beach House – Comfortable, Quiet, and Family-Friendly We really enjoyed our stay at L’Étoile de mer! It’s in a peaceful neighborhood and within walking distance to the beach—not right on it, but definitely close enough for daily trips. The walk does involve crossing dunes, which can be a bit of a challenge with beach gear and young kids, but that’s just part of the beach experience and doesn’t take away from how great the house is.The house itself was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, and there were even games for the kids to enjoy during downtime. We especially loved sitting out on the balcony in the evenings—it was a perfect spot to relax. A baby gate at the top of the inside stairs was a thoughtful touch.Extras like beach chairs, bodyboards and outdoor shower were a nice bonus, and overall the house felt very thoughtfully set up for families. We’d definitely consider staying here again! Un grand merci :)

Terrific house with everything I needed.

This house is exactly as advertised: close to the beach but in a quieter section of the outer banks. It was the perfect outpost to explore the surrounding areas from. We ventured out during the day to return home in the evening to a cozy home with the right amenities. If you want to cook at home, the kitchen is fairly well equipped. The living room was our main hangout on rainy days, and the kids and adults equally enjoyed the bean bags (especially the extra large one/I’m sure my partner is going to buy one when we get home). An all around lovely stay.

Nice stay

Maybe the best equipped kitchen in a rental we’ve ever stayed at. Spiral stairs are fine for adults and older children but might be a concern for small children and elderly visitors. Very convenient and quiet neighborhood. Bedding and furnishings were also a higher quality than most rental units.

Spacious home that accommodated 4 adults and 2 children very well for the week. Kitchen well supplied with everything needed. Not a short walk to the beach but were prepared for that from description and rented a wagon to carry our things out. We have stayed in Avon many times over the years but never on the sound. Enjoyed the view from the deck.

Property was clean, spacious and close to the beach. The washer and dryer could use updating and few other things might need a little attention. We enjoyed our stay though and were happy with our experience.

When we arrived, there were dead roaches on the carpet in the entryway. To be honest, we felt like we were in a fraternity house. The inside furniture was minimal. The refrigerator wasn't cleaned out and the upstairs bathroom tub and floor wasn't clean. Also, the outside stairway lights and the inside stairway lights weren't working which was a safety hazard. The interesting thing was that I let the owner know right away what was wrong with the house and his response was that he cleaned the place himself so he knows it was very clean and the lights were working just fine 2 weeks prior. He was also glad the pest control spray was working because the bugs were dead.

Nice, modern and comfortable house near the beach.
