The best way to end the day is with a cool rinse-off under the stars in the outdoor shower.

There’s a master queen bedroom with a private bath and two other queen bedrooms that share a full hallway bath. All the bedrooms feature 40-inch Smart TVs. The spacious and fully equipped kitchen, adjoining four-seat dining table and picnic table located on the adjacent deck make feeding the family a breeze.

Avon Spring trip
S or S did a great job cleaning and preparing the home. If you do not mind a home with very dated bathrooms, kitchen and furniture this place will work. It is in a good Avon location with easy access to shops/restaurants etc.

Great house and location
The house was exactly as advertised online. We arrived to a very clean house. The neighborhood was very, very quiet and we were surprised to see that almost, if not all the houses on the street were locals and not rental houses. The property manager was awesome, she texted us to welcome us and was also very quick to help when we lost our door code and got locked out. I would not hesitate to stay here again. The kitchen was well stocked, bed was very comfortable, as was the living room furniture. A++++

Quiet family beach getaway
We had a great experience from day 1 coming to a nice,clean beach house that accommodated my wife,daughters,dog and myself. Very relaxing without the crowds of people on the beach was an added bonus.

Very nice
Very clean , slight hike to the ocean. Very quiet neighborhood definitely more residential. The house is super cute, however it is unsettling how much the house sways and moves when you walk. But over all great stay

home in need of improvements
kitchen was not adequately equipped (pots/pans, no tea towels. Washer and dryer are stacked, you needed to be over 5feet 5 inches to reach controls for dryer, photos are misleading in regard to condition of furniture. LOL bathroom mirror was so high i could not see at all ..

Great House!
Another great OBX stay is in the books! The house was very clean, on a quiet street, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hot tub is awesome, and we enjoyed sitting out on the deck. You can easily walk to a few nearby restaurants and shops! We would stay at the Tropicana Cabana again!

Tropicana Cabana Review
It was a quaint cottage near the beach in a quiet residential neighborhood. The deck and hot tub was really nice. We enjoyed our stay, we had kayaks with us and had plenty of room under the house to store them with nearby water access.
