Waterfront home with stunning Sound view, private hot tub, pool - 2 dogs OK
New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.
Love the water? Then make the beautiful Island Creek Resort your home for a week or a lifetime. This semi-private waterfront resort has 16 island-style homes designed for the active beach life. Set on Avon's pristine north end and accessible only by bridge, Island Creek Resort offers over 1,000 feet of shallow sound-front access. Windsurfers, kite surfers, kayakers, and kids will love this ultra-friendly location, where miles of open Pamlico Sound facilitate launching, fishing, exploring, relaxing, or just horsing around in the water.
This stilted home features a two-story layout with a raised, first floor featuring a wraparound deck and a common area with a TV and daybed. The second floor serves as the primary living space featuring an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area with vaulted ceilings and strong natural lighting. A second wraparound deck is furnished with Adirondack chairs and an outdoor picnic/dining table. You'll find everything you need for family-style cooking in the full kitchen and ample seating options including a ten-seater banquet dining table, four-person dinette, and an island breakfast counter with four barstools. The primary suite features direct deck access and an en suite bathroom. The fireplace is not available for guest use.
The boat ramp and docks handle small boats and personal watercraft. Acres of manicured sod keep Island Creek Resort looking good and feeling good underfoot. Relax in ICR's community pool or grab the Coppertone and head across the street to Avon's super beachfront. Spring and fall guests sing ICR's praises for board sports, while families regale in this secret spot for summer getaways. Seasoned travelers even head to ICR for their winter holidays. For parents introducing their families to the world of watersports and experts looking to perfect kiting, windsurfing, and kayaking techniques, this is truly a resort for all seasons. At Island Creek Resort, it's always better on the island. The boat slips are first come first served.

A great week
We had nine adult family members and one dog for a week in July. Thunder Island met our needs perfectly. The kitchen was well equipped, there is a large table for family meals and games, and the corner spot on the Sound was beautiful and quiet. Avon is the perfect beach town, big enough with a grocery store and restaurants but not at all overbuilt. We loved it.

Island Thunder #15-1
We enjoyed the water views from the wrap around windows of the wind surfers and kite surfers. The house was clean although the wet bath towels from the previous occupants were never picked up despite having notified management. There was a water leak outside which got fixed the early the next day. Trash removal days were confusing as different dates were given for our house. Note: it's wed & sat. This was the first time we stayed on the sound side and think it will be preferred over the ocean side in coming years.
