The stairs going up to the third-floor, were unsafe for a toddler. They could have fallen through the spaces. The spindle spacing holding up the railing in the loft were also unsafe ..our toddler could’ve easily fit through them. The bathroom drains were not able to be plugged. None of our children could take a bath. Each bathtub was in need of cosmetic repair .

This beach house is no frills but in fair condition. There have been a few updates, but could use a lot more. House was clean. Linens were well worn, but ample supply. Beds were comfortable. Bath stalls functioned but worn and discolored. Some faucets were replaced but others were squeaky and old - all were functioning. Shower head in masterbath was comical. Some of the floors have been upgraded, others not, like the kitchen floor, which looks original. Overall, the decor seemed heavy. Dramatic full-length curtains in living room and royal blue walls throughout the main level did not feel airy. The master bath had screaming yellow walls. There is a picture on every. single. wall. Its like the family dumping ground for furniture and pictures. Living furniture was fairly comfortable, except the one brown 'massage' chair that didn't work. You had to have a pillow behind your back to make it tolerable to sit there. The kitchen supplies were minimal and not great quality. We stayed two weeks and made most of our meals. The only lighting in the kitchen was over the small kitchen table and the surface light above the stovetop. The kitchen is a good size with fairly new cabinets. Cooking without ample light was really frustrating. We appreciated cleaning supplies left for us. Dishwasher worked fine. During our stay, hurricane Ian blew through. Heavy rains resulted in leaking sliding glass door on upper level and bunk room window. The maintenance person came by to secure the deck furniture and close all the windows ahead of the storm, which we appreciated. Other than the leaking, the house swaying a bit during wind gusts it remained intact. The house layout was funky but that's part of the charm of these old houses, they are unique. I liked that part of the main level deck was shaded. If you don't mind all that stated above, the house was fine. Location was a block from several restaurants and short distance to the beach.

The house was located a short walk from the shops and the beach. Plenty of room for everyone. Clean and hospitable. We would stay again.

I stayed with my family for labor day weekend and we had a great time. Ages ranged from <1 year to 70s, plus our dog.

We had a blast! Lots to do in the area. Loved that ice cream trucks drive around the area. Walk to the beach was pretty close!

It was everything we wanted. Had a great stay.

Amazing time with my children and grandchildren I didn’t find the host very approachable but the place was perfect for us a gas grill would have been helpful and extra out trash cans for trash but aside from that I highly recommend and the Avon area was perfect for us

It was lovely.

Julia is a wonderful hostess. There were renters before us but seems they decided to to not check out on time; hours after the agreed time which caused a back up in cleaning etc. and they left the house in disarray. Julia let me know this but all worked out well with our arrival. Jim, one of her staff members met me at the house and showed me around. Based on her previous renters and what they left, I think all was handled well by Julia and Jim. I have no complaints. Great location, great house for family and overall we had a wonderful stay. Would certainly choose this home or any others Julia has again!

Excellent house; excellent location; excellent destination.

This house is everything it promises and so much more. Plenty of space for comfort, easy walk to the beach, beautiful views, and everyone can have their own deck space. Great for those looking to be off the beaten path, yet close enough for day excursions. Wonderful spots to eat and shop are nearby. A view of the Cape Hatteras Beacon from the top deck is the perfect bonus feature.

Nice house. Short walk to the beach. Clean and as advertised. Would come back again.

My family really enjoyed this house. Layout was great. Rooms were spacious. Great location. Short walk to the beach. Only issues: Needs another outside trash can. One is not enough Needs more/better water pressure Would stay here again!!

We were a group of 8 adults (4 couples) and had a great time! There is lots of space to spread out and also have a great spots to hang out as a family. Location was perfect - loved to be further down the Outer Banks with less traffic/people. A short walk down the road, over the sand dunes and you are at the beach! Outdoor shower was great enjoyed by all. The house was very clean upon arrival and amenities were what I would expect in a beach house. I’d stay there again for sure!

Several areas in the house were either not functional or not clean. The handle on the kitchen sliding doors was slightly broken, there were yellow stains on the living room couch, the upstairs toilet did not flush, and several shower curtains were ripping and halfway off the shower rack.

Love the settings inside the house and the location was great. There are things need to update like living room sets, the kithen sometime the electric stove won’t work, the bathroom in the masters room was clogged up and the bathroom at the third floor the toilet is draining water and the curtain is ripped. But the most important is enjoyed staying in the house. Thank you!

The house was cute and a clean place to stay. Has some plumbing issues that should be addressed. I found drain pipes under the bathroom sink that were not connected and the one bathtub drain is clogged, we couldnt get it free with draino. I did fix the drain. The house is in a great location, has a view of the ocean, and good amenities. I would stay there again

Great location. Property manager responsive. Beach access and view great BUT for the elderly this beach access may not be the best...dune high and mil had difficult time manuevering. Great times

Booked a quick family getaway after communicating with the property owner and confirming that issue in prior reviews had been addressed. We loved our stay - house was very clean with many updated items. Being welcomed to music playing softly in the radio in the house was a nice surprise. There are still a couple issue with the house (upstairs toilet flushing issue and hot water issue in the middle story tub) but the location and layout of the house was fantastic.

What's Good: House is spacious Close to beach Quiet street Allows a dog Property manager was responsive Maintenance man was nice Ample parking AC worked well 2 bunk bed rooms were fine Wasn't a fan of the town of Avon itself. What's Not Good: Couches look like they belong in a fraternity house Carpet needs a good cleaning Sliding glass door broken Broken window Looks like cigarette burns all through dining and kitchen floor Dining room ceiling fan looked about to fall off Virtually no dishes Rusty silverware Laundry door off track Neither tv worked Dust balls in corners of all stairs and in banisters Huge urine stain on mattress cover and mattress. Cleaning crew had to have seen it when the sheets were changed. They just chose to put new sheets on top of it. Bedroom blinds won't close Electrical issues Saw a few roaches Blah, Blah, Blah....etc..... We knew that it was outdated by the pictures, but we didn't expect it to be dirty and in need of much repair.

Pluses: House was roomy and nice overall with great location and nice views. Fair amount of parking. Beach was nice and not very crowded. Short walk to beach without having to cross roads. Minuses: TV was tiny and couldn’t get any remotes to work. Couches looked old and dirty and no one wanted to sit on them. Cookware was also limited and in poor condition, recommend bringing your own. Was told there was a gas grill but turned out to be a small cheap charcoal grill with broken lid and rusted grill.

The property was fine except that there was only 1 trashcan for the entire property inside the house. It was difficult to contact the property manager with the problems that we had. We had to call another place of business to get a hold of her. It took us three days to get keys. Not a fan of this property manager's customer service.

Great location, house has everything we needed for a easy vacation. Needs a-little updating on essentials but great for the price. Would absolutely stay again.

We traveled to outer banks for the past 20 years and this was the worst house I've every seen. Poorly maintained to the point of safety risks. Kids could not go out on decks. AC didn't work on first floor(bedrooms) 85 degrees every night. Grill setting directly on upstairs deck and hasn't been cleaned in months. Called owner, emailed owner to NO avail. We left Thursday night because family didn't want to stay any longer. There is more but not worth listing. S

Plenty of room for 12 of us plus a baby in a pack n' play! First floor master is very big with king memory foam mattress that sleeps well. The 2 bunk rooms were perfect for us as we had 4 boys in one and 4 girls in the other and there is still space in each room for their belongings! The 3rd floor queen also has a very comfortable memory foam mattress. This room is very large; we were able to set up pack n play for baby with PLENTY of room left. Also there is a great loft area on this floor that we found useful as a play area for the kids and their toys so it kept the "kid stuff" out of the main living area. The kitchen has tons of storage! Great for us because we brought 90% of our food from home. Kitchen is not particularly well-stocked- limited pots/pans/serving dishes. Be sure to bring a sharp knife, a blender, and any special pot/pan you may need. (We took our own crab pot.) Also, if you have little kids, bring plastic cups/plates. Plenty of eating dishes, bowls, glasses and mugs. The dining area seats 10 reasonably. The beach here is GORGEOUS! Clean, soft sand, quiet and NOT crowded. We loved, loved loved this property. It's not fancy, but neither are we! If space/layout, beautiful beach and location are important to you, this is a great option. If you are looking for fancy finishes and furnishings this home is not for you. If you are looking for party central, this home is not for you. Looking forward to spending another week here next summer 😊

Clean and comfortable, our party of 7 had room to spare. Very short walk to beautiful beach with no crowds. Excellent location in Avon with everything either within walking distance or a short drive away. We loved it and will definitely try to come back in the future!

We had a great time and the house was perfect for us, although maybe too big for our group! It diffidently sleeps 12. It's 3 story with the living area on the second floor. There are great views from all the rooms and decks. Our dogs loved being at the beach. It is just steps from the ocean and an easy walk to the pier. We surfed fished and pier fished and did very well! All the bedrooms and baths were large and the living area was as well. I think it was a very very good value and priced well below what a group, (which didn't fill the house) like ours had paid in the past. I highly recommend the property
