Oceanfront Retreat, Stunning Views, Renovated Spaces, Game Room with Pool Table
New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.
Welcome to Star Kissed—an oceanfront escape with sweeping views, direct beach access, and the kind of charm that only the Outer Banks can deliver.
Fresh off a thoughtful renovation, Star Kissed offers the perfect mix of comfort and style. Enjoy a fully repainted interior, updated décor throughout, a renovated shared bathroom with a soaking tub and luxury vinyl flooring, and a reimagined main living space complete with shiplap ceilings and smooth drywall finishes. The kitchen has everything you need—including a brand-new dishwasher, refrigerator, wine fridge, sharp new knives, and all the cookware, spices, and gadgets (yes, even a instant heat tea kettle) to make your meals feel effortless.
The spacious great room features soaring ceilings, a huge 75' smart TV, and wall-to-wall windows showcasing panoramic ocean views. The expansive decks on the east, south and west side of the house offer prime opportunities to take in the sunrise with your coffee, watch dolphins swim by, or enjoy a glass of wine as the sun sets.
Downstairs, you'll find oceanfront bedrooms with new linens, private baths and decks, a bunk room, and a newly refreshed shared bath. Upstairs, a loft space features a classic slate pool table and one of the best ocean views in Avon.
We've added thoughtful touches for families—like a Pack 'n Play, highchair, and bottle warmer—plus upgraded smart TVs in every room. Outside, we've cleared and leveled the space under and around the home for dedicated parking, added a park-style grill, and installed new front steps and a new roof (October 2024). The ground level also includes a laundry room, concrete parking, double carports, and two upgraded outdoor showers with hot water.
Star Kissed is where convenience meets coastal luxury. Whether you're cooking dinner with the sound of waves in the background, playing pool with a view, or just unwinding on the deck, this is your place to make memories.
Please help protect the dunes—stay off them and enjoy the beach using the designated access paths. They help keep this home, and others, safe from storms and provide a habitat for local wildlife.

Best Family Vacation
We love to go to the otter banks around this time of the year, less people at the beach and fishing it’s great. We also enjoyed staying at the house.

Great location!
We enjoyed our stay at Argonauta. The house is nicely furnished and comfortable. It’s within walking distance of the Food Lion which is nice. The kitchen was roomy and had plenty of cookware and utensils. My only complaints - the beds could be more comfortable, and the jacuzzi jets need to be cleaned. All in all, we enjoyed our stay atnArgonauta.

Great location
This home was perfect for what we needed. It was a guys fishing trip and this was the second time staying in this home. I liked that they had made some updates since last year. There are a couple areas that could be addressed this trip but nothing major that took away from our experience. The ice box in the freezer was all busted up but it worked for what we needed. The TV in the living room is about to go out I believe. It's kind of fussy looking when watching it. But who goes to the beach to watch TV? Still a great home and thank you for renting/managing it for everyone to use.

Overall review
The location was great the house was not very clean and we felt we had to wash our own bedding the first night. The chairs outside were broken there’s no grill no blow dryer the dishwasher was full of mold. I guess it’s a good thing that we’re pretty easy-going family and we just dealt with it

This property was great! It met our expectations for location, space, and beach access! They made a good effort during our stay to dig out sand that had been pushed in under the house, opening up access to the outdoor showers. However, we suggest replacement of the dishwasher: the inside is moldy and unpleasant smelling, and we were not sure if the dishes were sanitized. We also missed using the outside grills, as they were buried in sand. Some of the sliding glass doors were difficult to open to the beautiful deck and ocean views. We hope to vacation here again!

House was great, not for everyone.
I loved the house and proximity to the beach. The layout of the house was perfect for us: two families of three, the kids were 10 and 6. The first floor, there is a small foyer with washer/dryer. The second floor has four bedrooms. We loved the dual master bedrooms with attached bathrooms. The mattress in the blue room was very comfortable. The first room on the right has bunk beds and there is a short hall to the left with the main bath and the bedroom with a queen and twin bed right next to the pink master. Upstairs is the main floor, which is spacious and had everything we needed. We brought a Keurig just for personal preference. The kids loved the loft area with the pool table.
The reason I say it is not for everyone is that there are a LOT of stairs. You have to carry supplies/groceries up 2.5 flights of stairs, which is challenging for someone who isn't in great shape or injured. A frail, elderly relative, could not havee managed. The beach is right outside, but there is a very steep hill, level with level with the first story of the house. So, just a warning... most people will have no problems, but injured or elderly would struggle.
The decks were amazing, every room in the front of the house had them. The main decks wrapped around the side and part of the back, which was great in the morning if you needed some shade.
There are some water toys left behind, which was nice, pails, noodles, etc. And the outdoor showers and hose were handy for sand removal. I also saw baby gear like high chair and playpen.
The linen and check-out are not great. When I went to make the queen bed for my son, the mattress pad was stained with either urine or a LOT of drool. The pads stay on the beds, we were instructed not to put them in the dirty linen bins, so I am not sure if/when they are washed. The king sheets had blood stains. The blankets were basically hidden. On day 3, I found a trash bag full of comforters in the bunk room closet. We had been using some thin blankets we found in the rooms. Check-out time kept changing. By Saturday am, the app was telling me to be out by 9am. So can't check in til 5/6, but leave by 9... and they ask if you want a $125 credit to leave Fri by 4pm so we felt rushed to leave.
I am out of space, but those are my main take-aways. I had a great week, loved the secluded area, I found it worth the extra drive time. My injured knee, however, is not so happy. :)

Wonderful family vacation spot
The house was perfect for my family. The closeness to the beach was ideal. The house was not as clean as I expected. The dishwasher was not usable as it was very moldy and there were dirty dishes in the cabinet. There was dog hair on the floor, should have been "No Pets". The baby items need updated. Besides these points the house was GREAT!! We had a great vacation.
