The property needs a good deep cleaning and needs to be inspected by either a maintenance supervisor or the owner. There were no remotes for the tv in the den or the kids room. We didn’t watch tv because the weather was great! The beds were comfortable.

Loved staying in Natalie's home. What a view and those sunsets! Pretty windy while we were there (March/Apr are windy and attract a lot of windsurfers etc - great viewing!) but plenty of sunshine so did lots of exploring. Would definitely recommend. Thx for a great 5 days, Natalie. :)

Fantastic Getaway
Met friends here for spring break and really enjoyed our time despite it being the off season. We loved the property. Everything was great and in working order even though we were the first renters of the season. The view of the sound is unparalleled. The kids especially loved being out on the private dock and decks and the sunsets were absolutely breathtaking. The new hot tub is amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
The owners were very responsive, so friendly and easygoing. The property manager was also super nice and attentive.
The ONLY thing we could suggest is that the property may need a new dryer as it struggled to dry the towels and linens, but that is literally it.

Wonderful time
We enjoyed our stay on the sound in Avon. After being there it seems that Avon was the most happening place around, compared to other towns. There's a Food Lion a short distance away, and many restaurants. We enjoyed 3 beach days even though it was October, and loved being able to take our 4 wheel drive vehicle right onto the sand/beach.
The house fit us all perfectly for 8 people. The kids loved the bunk room and being able to watch TV in there to wind down. You do have to trek up 3 flights of stairs to get to the kitchen, which makes unloading cumbersome, but it seems that that's pretty normal for the area- most houses are 3 stories with the living room/ kitchen on top floor. It was also a little strange that we couldn't control the air temp ourselves, as you tell the host, Natalie, what you'd like it set at when you check in. We made do though even with our wide range of ages and preferences.
The kids had a blast fishing from the dock, we even saw stingrays! The hot tub was very nice and Natalie was quick to help us when it seemed we had messed with the controls too much.
Try to read the guest journal that is in the living room at the beginning of your trip for some good tips on the area, instead of at the end like I did, haha.
Overall we had a lovely time and enjoyed our stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this home. It was spacious enough for 5 of us to have our own bedrooms...the bedrooms had enough closet space and the public areas were gracious. The top floor has a killer view of the bay (as does the second floor with the hot tub). We enjoyed multiple sunsets from the hot tub! The house is conveniently located (for us) close to our kite surfing and beach activities as well as to nice restaurants.....Thanks for a lovely stay

Winter Time in Avon
Great location, right on the bay and well situated in Avon, which especially in the winter is convenient to be close to the Food Lion as many other places are closed.
For the people that consider kitesurfing, the water in front of the house is shallow enough to water launch easily, the house has its own pier as well. There is an island further north (big island) that can be easily kited to from the house, definitely a great/nice kite spot in that regard!
One minor thing to mention is that one cannot adjust the thermostat by themselves. I think there had been some HVAC issue caused by some previous renters in the past, hence one has to contact the owner to make temperature adjustments. The owner's response though was always very speedy and helpful with any requests we had.

The house, the grounds, the location is all wonderful and as advertised.
I'm not one for long reviews but I just wanted to highlight the property manager. Had lots of texts back and forth with them with advice on kiteboarding spots and other things about the island and they were always quick to respond with useful information. This is a huge asset whenever you are traveling and I can't thank them enough for all their help. We absolutely plan on staying there again.

Relaxing stay and absolutely beautiful views!
Our family of 6 had a wonderful vacation in this home! The location was perfect and I can't say enough about the views overlooking the water. The sunsets were absolutely gorgeous and unlike any I have ever seen.....it was worth the visit just to experience the sunsets! It was so peaceful and serene and perfect place to vacation if you are looking to relax and get away from the hustle bustle of life. We were able to bike to nearby gift shops, restaurants, coffee and ice cream shops or Avon pier if you wanted to do so. We accessed the beach at Avon pier and there was plenty of parking and you can sit under the pier if you prefer the shade. Our children also enjoyed the pool at Kinnakeet Shores Pool. However, we spent the majority of our time at the home in the water on kayaks and paddle boards that were provided by the owner. I highly suggest kayaking at sunset!! We did attempt to visit Ocracoke, but the ferry had a 2 hour wait so if you are interested in taking that trip, I suggest getting to the ferry very early! We also made the trip to Nags Head and Manteo and visited Jockeys Ridge. It was a great trip and did take most of the day, but worth seeing...... but we were very ready to get back to our quiet home in Avon! The owner was wonderful to deal with and got right back to me regarding a couple of questions that we had. Thank you for a great stay and hope to visit again soon!

Perfect cottage for large extended family
We brought 11 people, 3 generations from 2 to 70. House was comfortable for our large group, plenty of space, chairs, dishes and cookware. Large, good quality washer and dryer. Comfortable beds and plenty of linens.
Spectacular sunsets every night visible from spacious decks with plenty of deck chairs.
Grandchildren (2, 5, and 7) loved the warm, shallow and crystal clear water of the sound, We went across island a couple of times to experience the impressive ocean waves, It is literally couple minutes drive. The kids preferred playing with beach gear and exploring the sound.
Had a couple of minor issues. Some confusion about correct code to unlock door and could not find the iron. Natalie was immediately responsive and solved problem in a couple of minutes.
We loved the house and the location, and would consider it again the next time we come to OBX.
