Beautiful home beautiful location!

I gave 5 stars, but there are a few items that future renters should note, but first here is what we loved. The house itself is very, very nice. We had a group of 12 long-time friends. Every couple got a bedroom, though one couple did draw the short straw and stay in the bunk bed room. Everyone got their own private bathroom. That's a plus. The views from the rooms all face the ocean. All but the bunk bed room and the southern most 2nd level room have unobstructed views. The top floor living/dining (and bedroom) have gorgeous, wide-open views of the ocean. The top floor kitchen is huge with two fridges and two dishwashers - VERY CONVENIENT for a large group. The downstairs (billiards room) kitchen has a fridge and icemaker. That was also very convenient. The pool table is nice and solid. The theater room was very nice as we watch several movies at night and really enjoyed having that feature. The house is on the beach. There is plenty of parking for at least 6 cars. The elevator (read the directions carefully) was great for loading and unloading. The tinting on the windows, especially on the 3rd floor was great. The upstairs stayed cool, even in direct sun all the time. The hot tub was a welcome addition. The downsides... The grounds no longer match the pictures. Obviously storms have pushed large amounts sand into the front area nearly obliterating the volleyball court. The pool area gets a lot of sand in it and had not been cleaned prior to our arrival. There was sand on the steps and bottom of the pool, along with around the pool deck and walkways. A large dune (probably for flood protection) is up next to the back of the pool area and must be climbed to access the beach. The pool "tiki bar" area was just okay. We didn't spend very much time at or in the pool as the sand and layout just wasn't as convenient as taking our chairs to the beach. The house could use a deep cleaning. It wasn't dirty overall and the cleaners do a very good job for such a small crew, but talking to them we found out that a lot of the crews were let go when Vacasa took over and they are working with small crews that have to clean multiple large houses. They are overwhelmed. The floors and food surfaces were clean. The beds and linens were clean, along with the bathrooms. The fans and light fixtures could use a good dusting and several light bulbs were burned out. A users manual would be nice for the TV/Surround Sound System in the 3rd floor living room and for the 1st floor theater. On the very first night one of the bedroom smoke detectors started chirping due to a low battery. Vacasa addressed this immediately after we called the next morning. We appreciated the quick response. Vacasa told us that the house does not have a grill, so we rented one. It does. We found it on the 3rd floor, outside of the top floor bedroom. Overall, I gave it 5 stars because that was how we felt our overall experience was. I just wanted to point out the small things to both temper a future renter's expectations and to alert Vacasa to some minor items that need addressing. Great property and we'd stay there again. Thanks.

Awesome view of ocean! Nice layout. Theater room came in handy because we unfortunately had little sun.

We've stayed in several really nice homes in Avon and Hatteras; hands down the Kinnakeeter has been our favorite. The theater room and the kitchen were both incredible.

The house is at a prime location, step out to the beach or pool, and within sight of the Avon pier! Beautifully maintained with a well stocked kitchen. Elevator was so helpful

This property is perfect for our family. It is our 4th year at this house and we will be back next year for a 5th. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Had a great time watching the wildlife, fishing, kayaking, and short drives to the many beach areas. Grocery store just a short drive away made it super easy for food.
