About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Artful Comfort Honoring Sailors and the Sea

Summary:

Located on the west and east sides of a well-maintained condominium, our rental offers scenic views of the canal and landscaped backyard. We take very good care of the property, seeking to give our guests the best of both a home and a hotel. Either on the unit’s east or west decks, the pristine beaches, or by the pool, there is plenty of space to enjoy the sun in an area surrounded by nature.



The Space:

Irida II is based on a theme. In recognition of the very long and storied maritime history of the Outer Banks, we created three rooms of photography – in effect three galleries – that tell a story of nature and the human desire to sail. We are sailors, and we have been blessed for years to experience the incredible gifts of nature the Outer Banks provides. It is our pleasure to attempt to share our world through our eyes.



We provide all linens, towels, and products needed for your vacation, and are honored to bring our guests as healthy a vacation experience as possible. All soaps, detergents, and cleaners have been approved by the Environmental Working Group, and we provide 100% recycled paper products. We have installed the most advanced residential ceiling fans in the world, and have worked to optimize interior climate. We sincerely hope you appreciate our ethic of wanting to bring health to our planet and to people.



A ground level storage unit is provided, and is suitable for storing windsurfing, surfing, paddle boarding, or kiteboarding equipment.



Guest Access:

The entire space, including the pool and storage locker, is yours to use. You are free to come and go as you like.



The Neighborhood:

First off, we are just a few minutes’ walk to the beaches. It is a five-minute walk to the ocean side access point, and it is about an eight-minute walk to the sound side “First Turnout.” At this location is a very secluded beach with shallow water for kids to swim. The storage unit has a beach dolly for transporting your gear.



Grocery shopping and numerous restaurants are all within a five-minute drive, and OceanAir Sports – a leading watersports center on the Outer Banks – is next door. This area is one of the most popular kiteboarding and windsurfing locations in the entire world, and it is equally renowned for its fishing. Given the Outer Banks’ concentration of federal and state protected lands, there are ample opportunities for nature-based recreation, and the area’s history is legendary.



Getting Around:

There are numerous services for getting around. To get to and from the airport or Amtrak, Outer Banks Transportation offers personal car service. Island Hopper Shuttle and Beach Cabs OBX can provide service on the island. Uber and Lyft are also available.



Other Things to Note:

Please be aware of Pamlico Point Association rules, especially regarding the pool. No grilling is allowed on the decks. House parties are not allowed under any circumstance.

We would strongly suggest buying trip insurance, as there is a likelihood of hurricanes, tropical storms, and flooding at many times of the year, and like most Outer Banks rentals, we don't issue refunds for storm evacuations.



Interaction with Guests:

We seek to make your stay as hassle-free as possible and are available from 7:00 AM to 2:00 AM. In addition, Seaside Management is available for issues exterior to the rental.
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

I chose this condo because it is centrally located on Hatteras. Spacious for the two of us, very clean, great communication with the host. Eco-friendly technology for lighting, fans, and a/c was impressive. I would definitely book this again…highly recommend.

Great apartment to close to the sound in Avon

I had a wonderful long week-end stay at this apartment right next to Ocean Air and very close to Pamlico Sound, perfect for kitesurfing excursions and enjoying Avon! Wonderful host, and a very clean and charming apartment. I loved the windsurfing and kitesurfing pictures;-)

Vacation

Our family stayed Sunday thru Friday. It was nice and relaxing. We had to pool to ourselves most of the week. On the northern edge of Avon so everything you need is a short drive away. The condo was nice and we had no issues.

Perfect for our first trip to OBX

This was our first trip to the Outer Banks and we depended strictly on previous reviews as to location and convenience to everything as we booked our stay. We were pleasantly surprised upon our arrival! The condo is well kept and incredibly clean…which is a MUST for me. The location was great! The condo is very energy efficient and we liked the fans so much, we’re replacing the ones in our own home. We had a delightful stay and we’ll return next year. Thank you so very much!

Pleasant

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. It was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect where the beach was walking distance and stores were a quick drive away. We had to go to the store several times to get essentials that we normally would expect at a place (ie. dish soap, detergent, sponge, dishwasher detergent, trash bags, etc.) We also expected the washer/dryer to be in the unit instead of a communal one. The description did not indicate this. If we were to return again, we would make sure to stay in an above ground unit. The neighbors above us were pretty loud starting at 6:00 am- 12:00 midnight.

Excellent location and price

My family really enjoyed our stay at this property. The location was terrific close enough to the beach but great views of the bay and kite surfers. The pool was also a treat for my son when he was tired of the beach. My only critique is the master bedroom mattress was really loud and squeeked whenever me or my wife moved. Otherwise a very pleasant stay!

This was our first stay in Avon having stayed In northern OBX communities previously. What an idyllic and peaceful area, definitely our favorite beaches so far, and Ocracoke was a great and easy to access day trip. The home itself was modern, well thought out and very clean. Our kids loved being able to go easily between the beach and pool. Highly recommend and concur with all the other 5 star reviews.

It is a great family friendly location that is close to most attractions in Outer Banks. We, a family of 4 had a very comfortable stay. Few things to highlight are the very comfortable beddings, kitchen with all cookwares and utensils, well furnished, very clean and nice looking rooms, balcony with nice view, 1st floor.
