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.
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 :)
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!
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.

This is more suited for a frat house reunion than a family vacation.
Wish the owner had disclosed the house was next to a giant rancid dumpster port-a-potty. Deck is a safety hazard as a my son got several large (1-2inch) splinters from the deck and the deck furniture.

Disappointed
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.
Maison bien équipée, très propre et confortable, à 5 minutes à pied de la plage. La proximité de la route NC 12 n’est pas problématique, le tout est très tranquille le soir. Lits et chambres confortable et avec beaucoup de rangement. Espace de vie au 3eme étage très spacieux et bien illuminé.
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.
This is truly a gorgeous house. Great communication from LP. Shirt walk to the beach but the dune was a bit hard to walk over. Loved the house and layout. Wouldn’t hesitate to rent again.
Everything was great! We prefer cotton sheets and the ones provided were a microfiber polyester style. We like cotton quilts as that is just our preference, so no matter where we go we pack those. But everything we needed in the kitchen was there, which was absolutely perfect! There were seasonings in the cupboards that helped out when cooking. Only one minor complaint, more TVs! Lol! There was only one in the living area. We brought a 32 inch for our room along with our Fire Stick and were able to watch movies before bed. The kiddo used his iPad in his room or laptop to watch Hulu and Netflix. But it had everything else you need to feel at home, especially a washer and dryer, that was so convenient. The decor was very cute, lots of homemade artwork that made the home feel "homey". Tons of beanbags for the kiddo, he loved those! We hope to stay again next year!!
We had a great time staying here and enjoyed the house! It had everything needed - a well stocked kitchen, we loved the outdoor shower and the decks! We wish it was a little closer to the beach - it is actually across highway 12 and very close to the sound. We loved the convenience to restaurants and shops and owners have thought of small details to make the house safe (baby gate at the stairs) and comfy (bean bags were great!) and fun (well-stocked with books and a poker set!). Thanks for opening your home for others to enjoy!
Newly outfitted with lots of furnishings from Ikea. 3 equal queen bedrooms. Fairly basic accommodations, but we booked late for a family trip and it was great. Could use some touches like reading lamps beside beds but the kitchen was well appointed and the outdoor shower was good. Dryer really needs replacing, and the host indicated that is in the works. Bathtub jets don't work, but that wasn't an issue for us. Host was quick to respond to a request for extra bedding.
