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 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 not for overnight use, they are only for loading and unloading.

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.

This home was great for our water loving family. Windsurfing, paddleboarding and fishing right in your backyard. The views are incredible. The house needs a few minor things, but we would definitely stay again.

What made this house our favorite is the backyard fishing and kayaking and unbelievable sunset view and ten-minute walk to the beach or 5 minute drive to the pier for easy beach access with plentiful parking. We loved the open floor plan and beautiful wraparound decks with spectacular water views. We will definitely return to Island Thunder.

These homes have gorgeous views and are a great location for water sports. They are located right on the sound and they have a little lawn in front of the water to spread out the equipment and launch comfortably. The homes are little older but are kept well. Definitely in a shabby-chic category, but having all the amenities, from jacuzzi, multistory decks to communal swimming pool. I go there every year.

Stunning views and easy sound access make this the best water sports house in Avon, which you would expect given the steep price tag. The interior is large and comfortable, with a well-stocked kitchen and good laundry facilities. However, the WiFi did not work and the slightly musty bathrooms needed updating. We would definitely return, though, as the location is unbeatable.

The house was in a perfect location for kite surfing and paddle boarding. Even though it is pet friendly, it was well maintained. My only negative would be the pots/pans. The saute pans were a large size but because they were aluminum, had warped due to excessively high heat. Did not make it easy to use when cooking.

Island Thunder is a nice location on the sound. It’s a basic house. The sofas are not very comfortable and the kitchen could be stocked better. You need more than one hand towel and it would be nice to have a blender and steam basket. My biggest complaint is the coverlets in the downstairs bedroom queen bed is stained on the underneath and the kitchen drawers and cabinets need a hood inside clean out. A decent grill would have been nice as well. I travel a lot and I am used to high standards but I feel that these things need to be improved upon

The views were spectacular! All bedrooms and the top level had views of the sound. Home was spotless. Vacasa was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Furniture was comfortable and house was spacious.

The sunset views (West) from the home are fabulous. To the North all you see is the national seashore without housing. The location allows for easy access to the Pamlico sound for windsurfing, kiting, kayaking, etc. The oceanside beach is only a 2 blocks walk. Very quiet unless to wind is blowing and then everyone is out playin on the sound. I have stayed here before the house has had several cosmetic interior upgrades which were appreciated.

Our family loves this location because of the proximity to the sound and the fun water sports. We have 3 kids and it is stress free water fun. BUT the ocean is just a quick ride away.

Great location and arrived to a very clean and well-prepared home. The great room upstairs was even bigger in person than it looked in pics and loved the house’s layout. Very comfortable for 8 of us (three being smaller kids). Kitchen was adequately stocked for cooking. Had to call maintenance for a minor electrical issue and they were there to fix it the next day.

This property is ideally located for windsurfing/ kiting. Lovely large living area with views of the sound. My only complaint is that the kitchen was not as well equipped as other properties I have rented.

Shabby but nice

Shabby but nice

Overall this house was nice! Beautiful layout and wonderful views! The house itself is definitely a bit weathered, and looks like there hasn’t been a ton of upkeep done. The deck especially seemed to be falling apart a bit - there were several rotting boards and many rough edges. Neighboring houses have direct ramp access to the Sound, but this house doesn’t. Overall we had a nice stay!

Lovely setting

Loved the panoramic view of the sound. The lapping of the sound that you heard while sitting on the deck. Gorgeous front row seats to the sunset. The house was a perfect size for the five of us. Spacious living room and kitchen. Easy walk to the ocean. Kayak rental place within walking distance just over the bridge. Great place to stay with the dogs. They could hop right into the water.

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.
