SEMI-OCEANFRONT-5 BR, 3 Full & 1 Half Bath-just two lots from the beach walkway

This house was perfect for our group. The Large family room and long dining table fit our needs perfectly. The screened in porch off the kitchen was also perfect for the evenings.

We absolutely loved the house, the location and the amenities like the hot tub and movie collection. We have a wonderful vacation and would highly recommend this house for a peaceful, fun and relaxing vacation!

We had the best time at Mary Ellen’s house! It was everything you dream of in a beach house, close to the water, decks in the sun and shade, hot tub, plenty of movies and games. This was the first trip we completed a puzzle! The kitchen was well stocked with cooking tools and utensils. Can’t say enough about the quality of the house and welcoming of the homeowners. We so look forward to returning!

Another wonderful week at Hatteras-S-Cape. The Owners are such gracious hosts we appreciate so much them sharing their home with us. The kitchen is filled with all of the things needed to fix delicious meals, and the herb garden was greatly appreciated. The furnishings are comfortable for our yearly family reunion with folks coming from Europe, CT, Chicago, VA and CA. We took advantage of the sizeable DVD library. Most importantly though was the time spent on the beach, looking at the sea and relaxing together. Thank you!

We've rented many beach houses and there's always something missing, usually in the kitchen. Hatteras -S-Cape was a wonderful exception, outfitted to the T. Management was also very responsive and the owner very personable.

Our family has been vacationing in the Outer Banks since 1977, when the back streets in Nags Head were still dirt roads. We've had a wide experience of beach houses and the amenities that are provided. This house is one of the best we have enjoyed. It is beautifully laid out, with the washing machines conveniently placed at the landing, accessible from both floors. The kitchen is well stocked, not only with ample dishes and utensils, but with a thoughtful supply of simple things, like matches, lighters, scotch tape, scissors, etc. The owners even supplied a craft box in a filing box for the children and cleaning and washing supplies for the kitchen the bathrooms. The house faces the ocean, and the boardwalk is just two houses down, across the street. We rented a second home (pet friendly) for the other half of the family. It was quite adequate, but nothing like this one. The owner also called twice to see how we were doing. We'd love to re-book this house when we return.

This is a wonderful house! We’ve stayed at this property 3 times. It’s our favorite in Avon. The homeowners keep this house updated and it always feels welcoming. Great location easy access to grocery store, beach access, and great home base for exploring the islands! Will stay here again if we get the chance!

House was wonderful and clean. The beds were comfortable and everything in the house was in good condition. Extra bonus for the extensive DVD library, it was like going to a video store

Everything about this house and the owners was fantastic. The location, the amenities, the beds and finishes, the deck and furniture. We absolutely will be looking to rent this place again, if it’s available when we want it. Unfortunately for the house and the owners, where this property falls short is with the management company, Vacasa, whose communication and customer service was pitiful. Upon arrival, we quickly discovered the terrible cleaning that had been done. There was human hair all over the living room floor, crumbs on the countertops, some kind of red, sticky substance that had been splattered on some of the cabinets and also some kind of grime on the outside of the refrigerator. On our first full day, the microwave blew. We immediately contacted Vacasa on their 24/7 text line and they assured they would get it taken care of. This happened the Sunday before Labor Day, so we expected we might not hear anything until Tuesday. By midday Tuesday, we still hadn’t heard anything, so we reached out again and they said maintenance had been alerted and we’d get further instruction later. We were told to “kindly be patient.” The owners called Tuesday to see how everything was and we explained the microwave situation. We never heard from Vacasa again on Tuesday. By Wednesday late morning, the owners told us they’d contacted Vacasa and an appliance company. Vacasa told us they would deliver a loaner microwave that we could use on the countertop in the meantime. However, this meant having to postpone some of our plans that day until they arrived. They told me they would call when they were on their way. They showed up without giving us a warning. Upon going to use the temporary microwave, we opened it up only to find that a plate had been left inside of it. That drop-off was the last contact we had with Vacasa. No one ever called to check how things had been or apologize for any inconvenience — until this text message that prompted me to leave a review. On Thursday, the owner called again to let us know a new microwave was going to be delivered on Friday from an appliance company. This put a wrench in our plans, as we had to be home in the middle of the day to let the appliance person in. Vacasa never contacted us. While we understand Vacasa has many properties, we think all vacationers should be treated with the respect and urgency that should come with spending thousands of dollars. Your homeowners deserve better

This is everything you would hope for from a vacation house! Spacious rooms, modern home, nice kitchen, large table. It was ideal for our family vacation. The only odd part of the house is that it shakes or wobbles a bit when someone is walking across the floor. Definitely recommend!
