Moana Makani: Charming 3-bedroom Avon Village cottage featuring a spacious yard, furnished deck, two paddleboards, and seasonal community pool access, just a short walk from the beach.

Settle into the easygoing charm of Hatteras Island at Moana Makani! Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in Avon Village, this welcoming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath cottage offers a comfortable place to relax, with a spacious yard, inviting outdoor living spaces, and the beach, local restaurants, and shops just a short distance away.

Inside, the bright and airy open floor plan features vaulted ceilings, comfortable furnishings, and plenty of natural light. The cozy living area is perfect for gathering after a day in the sun, while the well-equipped eat-in kitchen offers everything you need to prepare your favorite vacation meals. A convenient built-in desk provides a dedicated space for anyone needing to catch up on a little work, and Smart TVs in each bedroom make winding down easy.

Step outside to enjoy the furnished deck and spacious yard, where you can sip your morning coffee, soak up the coastal breeze, or let the kids enjoy some outdoor playtime. The shaded area beneath the home offers another comfortable spot to gather, and the outdoor shower makes rinsing off after a beach day a breeze.

When you're ready to explore, take a short walk to the nearby beach or venture out to discover Avon's local restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques.
