House was perfect for what we needed it for. It was clean and the pool and hot tub were amazing. The only downside was the closeness of the back neighbors and the walk to the beach(last part seems outer banks thing). We would go back!

This house was so quaint and in a perfect location. From what I have read this house is under new owners and I can not wait to see what they do with it! The location and the pool make this the perfect hidden gem! Loved bringing the pup too!

Had some issues that were communicated to the owner who took care of it.
Would stay there again to give it another shot, as the location was great.

Short walk to the uncrowded beach, located on a quiet street but still close to the amenities in town. The house is comfortable, with a well stocked kitchen, and was a good size for our family. The pool was a welcome feature for both the adults and kids! Communication with owner and checkin were smooth & easy. Cleaning crew could be more thorough. Overall we had a great week at the beach!

This property was amazing. The only issue was the pool wasn't clean. The water was dirty and we wasn't able to use it. But overall it was a good place to stay. I would book again.

This place is amazing, steps to beach access with a private pool, large hot tub and lots of outdoor space for sunning and playing. The home is a quick walk to a gas station and longer walk or short drive to the grocery store and dining establishments. The home is cozy with comfortable beds and a great couch for family movie night. I’d also recommend a sunset walk towards the sound for great views. This house is close enough to amenities yet secluded enough to feel out of the hustle and bustle.

Location Location Location!!! House is in the perfect location. House has everything you need! Tons of pool/beach toys as well! Love the town so many beautiful things to do! The food trucks at the pier are amazing! The sand dunes are no joke to get to beach but so worth it!! Can’t wait to come back!

Kathy is an amazing host. Responded to all my questions beforehand and didn’t have any issues with me adding my in laws 2 months before our vacation.
The house is very conveniently located to the beach and there is an out door shower and foot wash that helps to get the sand off before relaxing in the pool or hot tub. We loved that we could bring our 2 dogs with us.
House is a little dated, the floors felt uneven walking through the house and up on the 3rd level deck the boards felt a little spongy. A little TLC could turn this into a really amazing property.
Overall we had an amazing experience and will return in the future!

We enjoyed our stay at Kathy’s place.
The location was close to the beach and had enough room for everyone (6 people) and our Pomeranian dog. The rooftop deck (with ocean views) and spa were awesome. You can tell that Kathy has done upgrades and renovations to the vintage beach house and is continuing to do so.
Avon is a sleepy beach town on the southern end of the Outer Banks. If you are looking for relaxation, this is the place for you (away from the hustle/bustle).
Additionally, Kathy was attentive to our questions and concerns. Even with tropical storm Debbie passing through, Kathy was able to get the pool cleaned for us a second time (because the storm had caused debris), so that we could enjoy the pool the last few days of our stay.

The house is in a great location with short walk to beach. The house overall needs general maintenance with warped floors and walls, one bathroom did not have cold water in the shower (the property manager was awesome and sent a repair man but he was not able to fix it. We declined to have him come back again because we were going to be at the beach and we had dogs at the house), the dishwasher has a broken seal etc. There is no pantry to store any of your food items and most of the cabinets are full so bring something to put your food in. But otherwise we had a great stay and Kathy is amazing!

The location of the property and the pool make it a great place to stay. However we did have some concerns. The floors were filthy when we arrived. A wet paper towel was black after wiping up a spot on the floor. We had to clean them ourselves once we arrived. There are ants in the cabinets that got into our food, which we had to throw away. We left ant traps for the next guests. There is a broken window in a bedroom (broken open) that creates condensation and water dripping from the ceiling onto the bed while the AC runs. It looks like the ceiling is bending and there's mold growing. One of the couples had to sleep on the couch because of this, which is really unacceptable for what we paid to stay there. It rained multiple days and that moisture also found its way through the broken window into the bedroom.

It was clean, well decorated, and very inviting. A two minute walk to the beach, a swimming pool, and a hot tub made it enjoyable for all family members ranging in ages from 12 to 60.
