Stunning Oceanfront Home with Hot Tub, Grill, and Stellar Ocean Views
OCEANFRONT Avon – Since ancient times, mariners have relied on the steadfast Stella Maris — the North Star — to guide them on their seafaring journeys. In much the same way, STELLA MARIS, a five-bedroom/four-bath home perched on the ocean’s edge, is a beacon for the tranquil getaway you seek. This newly renovated home uniquely blends a local sense of place with a cool contemporary design that instantly envelopes you in comfort and contentment. On the ground level, there is room to park two cars underneath the house so that they are protected from the elements. Avid anglers will note the fish cleaning station with water and lights, a new private outdoor shower, and a gas grill. A set of steps up to the first level leads you to four of the bedrooms: A king bedroom with an ensuite bath and oceanfront deck access; two queens and a pyramid bunk with trundle. All of the home’s bedrooms with the exception of one queen features Roku streaming TVs. Two hallway baths with tiled showers conveniently accommodate the post-beach rush. A six-person hot tub located on the oceanfront deck is covered to accommodate soothing soaks with stellar views no matter the weather. On the upper level, another king master suite reveals a renovated ensuite bath and deck access. It’s what is outside of this private space, though, that will capture your imagination: a modern great room where soaring ceilings, sky-high windows and industrial-chic décor bring your family together with an undeniably cool vibe. A spacious kitchen with granite countertops, stainless appliances and a useful breakfast bar makes vacation-style cooking a pleasure. Enjoy those meals at a long 10-seat dining table or just outside at a picnic table on the deck. If a TV program compels you to turn away from the breathtaking beach views, the living room features a large-screen Roku-enabled LCD TV that can be viewed from an expansive sectional sofa. Yet, if you can’t get enough of those views, decks on both the ocean and western-facing sides of the house invite you to enjoy the many sides of nature’s beauty, from sunrise to sunset. Navigate your way to your next memorable getaway by booking STELLA MARIS today.

Loved the location, it felt quiet and private, and you can see the ocean and the sound from the top floor. Enjoyed the hot tub, the decks on both sides of the house, and the floor to ceiling windows to take in the views. Two things to keep in mind are there are lots of steps to get to the front door and even though you are oceanfront, it is quite a walk across dunes to get to the beach.
House is just steps from protected shoreline. Quote and peaceful with 360 views. I have rented beach houses for 20 years and this blew the cleanliness out of the park. Absolutely spotless with all features needed and described. Our host was attentive and available.
Great location away from commercial zones of the Outer Banks. Comfortable home with wonderful views. Advice to homeowners - please replace old king mattress in downstairs bedroom! We would definitely return.
The house was beautiful and exactly as advertised. House was clean comfortable and large enough for everyone to spend time together or space alone if desired. Only 1 minor issue and property manager responded promptly and remedied the issue quickly. We highly recommend this home and Surf and Sound Realty!
The house was beautiful. The beach was beautiful. I wish the weather and water were warmer but it was just Mother Nature wasn't in the mood. It was still a wonderful week at the beach.
It is a nice area with grocery shopping nearby and some shopping nearby.
There is a couple of dunes to climb to get to the beach or back home. All of the houses in this area have them. It is something to be aware of when renting. Most of us could handle them fine. If you have trouble going up and down, it's a good fact to know.
We loved the property. It was exactly as advertised. It was a short walk to the beach on the ocean side. It had a great view and having teenage girls, they enjoyed taking pictures. If the opportunity arises again, we would rent and visit again

Disliked: Communication
4 out of 5 TVs didn't work at first. DVD player had no remote. Septic was overflowing due to lack of proper maintenance. House smelled of sewage. Surf or Sound rep JG and office, never returned calls after first 2 days. TERRIBLE service from S&S.
