Loved the view and sunsets from the upper deck and kitchen area. House was clean and as advertised. Nice quite neighborhood and close to lighthouses, national park beaches, food store and restaurants. Could have used better lighting in the kitchen area for at night, but otherwise enjoyed our stay.

Our 2nd time staying here, and it felt like our home-away-from-home. The view, cleanliness, and overall aesthetic of the big house made for another great week in Avon.

This is a great place for a family vacation. House is roomy and laid out to give everyone a little privacy with bedrooms on 3 floors. Beds were very comfortable and I didn't mind having to get/bring our own linens. The walk from the parking area to the house wasn't bad. We did use the wheelbarrow when unloading because we got there late and we were happy for a couple fewer trips. The view over the sound was great - we saw a nice buck hanging out in the marsh behind the house one morning! Katherine was very responsive and helpful in giving some tips before we arrived. The people commenting on the decor need to lighten up. If you want a sterile place, stay in a hotel. It's a little quirky and fun and in no way detracts from the rental.

This really was an awesome getaway! The listing description is very accurate. The landscape views of the sound and marsh are amazing. Having three spacious rooms on different levels were great for our family, giving everyone their own private space as well as a huge open space to gather together for meals, games and movie watching. The quaint village of Avon provides just the right amount of good restaurants, coffee shops, and a 24 hour Food Lion. The beaches on the Ocean side are very nice and there's also National Park's sound side beach where you can escape the powerful waves. And if you like fishing, the Avon pier is a great place to get your catch. This is definitely a great OBX trip!

We all enjoyed this house immensely. It's spacious--the bedrooms are separate enough to allow privacy, but the common areas are near to all residents. The location is wonderful and quiet. People who sleep on the top level share the "master" bathroom on the main floor. Yes, there's a neighborhood cat (we nicknamed her Marsha for the house's location on the marsh). She's very sweet but being feral, she prefers to rub against you without too much petting, so you have to be careful. We found her to be an asset (waking up to find her bathing on a deck chair was hilarious). Anyway, the house was clean, with lovely, subtle landscaping. Very convenient to Rodanthe, Buxton, Frisco, and the Okracoke Ferry. Easy trip to Nags Head area. Far from Duck and Corolla (whole different vibe). The kitchen is very well supplied with tableware and cookware (but if you plan to do much cooking, bring your own chef's knife). This is not a recent build in a development. It's very much an individual house rented by owner. We spent a very comfortable and relaxing week here, and would love to come back!

The house was close to great restaurants and the Food Lion. Our Daughter rented a condo on the ocean and we went back and forth for sunrise/sunset on the sound side. Beds upper bedroom and main floor were very comfortable the entry level bed not so much. We had hard rain twice and the window in the lower level leaked but was easily wiped up. The cat visited each morning and seemed very friendly until my daughter tried to pet her then when she wasn’t looking swatted her leg. The disco balls were an added bonus!!! Overall great house and would stay again. Thanks for sharing this house with us!!

We were three generations of one family on vacation together for the first time in years and this home was perfect for us. It's eccentric design and decor only added to it's charm. The wheelbarrows to take items from the car to the house were super helpful too. The most amazing beaches on the Atlantic side as well as sound access for paddleboarding were both nearby and made for awesome memories. The kitchen was well stocked with all the needed pans and dishes etc which helped keep our vacation in budget. This house has great views of the sound side sunset over the water, unobstructed by other houses and not so crowded by other houses, unlike any other locations we looked at renting. All in all, we loved this location and it was perfect for us. We'd love to come back sometime.

Very clean and quiet. Quirky decor. Reminded the teenagers of “Pogue Life” from the Outer Banks show. My husband was off put by having to carry all of our stuff back from the parking pad but he soon got over it. (They provide wheel barrels to take stuff back in). Nice place. Definitely recommend!

I've stayed in 20+ houses in Avon over the years, and by far, this was the most unique. I love the location and views. It's not for everyone, but it is fo me.

The house is perfect for 6 people.
Pros: Beautiful home interior with interesting decor. We didn't mind all the cat decor. (If you hate cats I guess you won't like it.) My wife and I used the main (2nd) floor bedroom and it was pretty awesome. Very comfortable bed. Main floor bathroom is very nice. Shower worked great (didn't use the beautiful big bath tub). Kitchen, dining, and livingroom areas are really cool with tall ceilings and lots of lights and fans. Central air and heat worked great. Nice deck with good view of gulf. Private and quiet. Our two granddaughters had a great time. They slept in the top floor bedroom and couldn't have enjoyed it more. Our daughter and her husband stayed in the downstairs bedroom and they enjoyed it. They loved the screened in deck and hammock.
Cons: The cat is a pest and gets a little aggressive at times (kids liked it, of course). The mosquitoes were bad, especially from the parking lot to the house. We had to move pretty fast to keep from being eaten alive! Fortunately they weren't too bad on the decks where it mattered the most! No dishwasher in the kitchen but not a big deal for us. If it was my house I would clean up around the front yard and renew some of the yard decor that is old and broken to make the property a little more presentable, especially since the house itself is so nice. The house is not handicap accessible. Some walking and climbing of stairs is required. For us this was not an issue though.
Overall it was a great place and an enjoyable stay. We are happy with our selection of this property for our vacation and would definitely consider coming back again. I recommend this property if the cons are not a problem for you.

The home was clean. Sets back off the road behind some trees. Have to carry you luggage on a pathway. There was some wheelbarrows that we used . The Decore is very eccentric but yeah I don’t mind. And the cat it doesn’t belong to the owner. But is out there everyday. Somewhat friendly but likes to nip and swats at you to get your attention. I nicknamed it evil . Lol Overall stay was pleasant.

The best was the gorgeous sunsets on deck and starry nights seen from top floor bedroom. The hammock room and view were outstanding. The keys left for us did not lock the doors so we had to ask for a new set. Our privacy was not respected when a worker let themselves in to touch up paint. Bikes all had flats so bring a pump. A cat hung out the entire time on deck trying to get in and scratched me twice begging for food. My husband was bothered by the strange collection of things everywhere inside and out. I enjoyed the beautiful garden and birds. The uphill trek from car parking pad to house is 70 steps so don’t bring too much. Garage is not accessible. Lost internet connection last 2 days but we were told it may just “pop” back on:( there was no attempt to remedy the connection loss.

Comfortable and quirky
We are a couple who stayed on the main floor. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen very good. The views over the salt marsh are very special. We were prepared for the distance between the parking and the house but surprised there was no sidewalk or boardwalk. So we couldn’t roll our luggage but had to carry it.

Quiet Retreat
The house was exactly what we needed. Off the main path and so serene. Having a couple deer hanging out with us was a bonus. If you need some down time, this is the place to rent.

Little piece of Heaven
We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The house was clean and the location was very quiet and relaxing. The deck is so nice to watch sunsets and sunrises. The owner of the property was very nice and very accommodating. If I had a question I could reach out and she would respond with in a very short time. I would definitely stay again.

Great place for small family
Great location and sound views. Rough weather for us on our week, but plenty of movies to watch and a stocked bookshelf and family time still made it a good week. Decor is quirky. Only criticism is that the kitchen knives were very dull and so many light fixtures either had burned out bulbs or didn’t work. Only noticed because we were in doing a lot of reading. Still would recommend for a family looking for a decent location without breaking the bank.

Big House upon Avon
My family and really enjoyed our stay here. The house was unique and clean. Not your typical cookie-cutter beach house, and for that, we loved it. Beautiful views of the sound too.

Another fantastic stay at the Big House
A second visit says it all: we loved our stay so much three years ago, we did it again. The sunsets over the sound. The peaceful morning walks. This house and its surrounding space is perfect, especially for folks who can find beauty in the weird and wonderful, given some of its eccentricities. Can’t wait to visit again. Thanks to Katherine and Margaret for their responsiveness and hospitality—and for replacing the toaster oven upon finding out it was broken! My mom was very grateful for her morning bagels.
Don’t miss out: This is a special stay for beach lovers who crave quiet, comfort, and something different!

Beautiful property
We hated leaving the big house! The views from the back decks are stunning and the house has absolutely everything we could have needed for a comfortable stay including toys that our 3 year old greatly enjoyed. The property manager was very responsive when we had issues with the dryer and they ordered a new one immediately. The master bed was really comfortable and all of us enjoyed the big bathtub. There is a lot of fragile stuff in the house but our 3 year old managed to leave it alone. Yes, there is a lot of cat art that is amazing and yes there are a lot of light switches and outlets and yes the walk to the house from the parking space is interesting but we absolutely loved all the quirks. Everyday we found a new little detail that we loved. We would love to stay here again in the future

Definitely coming back!
We will definitely come back to this vacation home again!. The view is amazing and very quiet. The house is big and spacious, very clean, and is a fun game to figure out what light switches goes to what light/disco ball. Katherine was a great host and made the whole renting and check in process very easy. This rental was a fun and peaceful experience and will be looking forward to visiting again!

Pleasant
We completely enjoyed our stay and hope to return! The location is perfect. Beautiful sunsets, close proximity to both ocean and sound beaches. Although the house isn’t super fancy, it’s homey and comfortable. Maybe replace the dryer which takes a long time to dry clothes but otherwise, no complaints. See you next summer!!

The property is very clean and in a good central location.
Pathway was very decorative and well lit at night. Beautiful view of the sound and sunset. The only thing we were not clear on was bringing our own linens for the bed, towels and washcloths for the bath because we couldn't find any to fit the queen bed in the master bedroom. Would stay again. Nice quiet neighborhood.

House was clean and well maintained. We have stayed several times at outer banks in last 39 years and enjoyed most of our trips. This one was very good. Thanks.
