we had a wonderful stay
On our way down, the owner contacted us to tell us that the previous guest had broken the stove. They asked if it was ok to come replace it and they compensated us with lunch for interrupting our visit, which was not necessary, but grateful for the awesome pizza! They are extremely friendly and it was a great location. The kids loved all of the different rooms and especially the loft and balconies. If ever in the Outer Banks again, we will definitely reach out to them.

Avon getaway
Fantastic location. Short walk to dune for beach access which was directly across from the property and shared between two additional homes. This meant that even on a busy July 4th week we felt like we had the beach to ourselves. Avon is a small village with beautiful beaches and warm emerald tinged water. We could see the fish swimming in front of us, a stingray, and a pack of dolphins. We used Hatteras Seafood Boil company for a shrimp and crab feast which was a highlight of the trip. The house itself is lovely. Master bedroom in the loft only has a tub, but this was disclosed in the property description and there are three additional bathrooms with showers and an outside shower as well. Extremely clean house and courteous, profesional and responsive property owners. Highly recommended for adventure seeking families.

Super cute, comfortable beach get away
We had a wonderful time in this house. Super cute house. Comfortable for our family vacation. The kitchen has absolutely everything you need and then some. The rooms were perfectly decorated and comfy. The beach is such a short walk across the yard and over the dunes. We found Avon to have everything you need but not all the crowds (which we love ). Went down to see the Hattreas lighthouse and Buxton bookstore. A must to check out ! Sunshine Seafood market was a great choice as well. We picked up steamed shrimp and enjoyed it on the great screened in porch at the house The owners were super easy to deal with and receptive to any of our questions Misty Mermaid was a nice get away for us and we look forward to seeing it again in the future
