We had a great stay at Windy Dunes! The location was great and it was extremely easy to access the beach. The home was well decorated and clean when we arrived. The views are one of the best features! We would absolutely return to this home in the future! I’d also like to say that Hatteras Realty was very responsive anytime we had a question or concern.

Well stocked kitchen, clean, bright. We'll decorated. It's obvious that the owners care about this home. Only drawback, difficult walk up the dune to beach.

We had a large family stay in the home including kids and grandparents. It was a wonderful house and we had one of our best vacations here! Only thing that could use improvement was that the sliding doors going onto the deck were so incredibly to open and close and the grill had not been cleaned by the previous guests. We also had a hard time lighting it but assistance came promptly and provided us a lighter to help ignite. Overall would recommend the home.

Beautiful Beachfront Vibes!
We had a wonderful week at Windy Dunes! Our crew consisted of our family of 4 (kids are 8 and 6) and a few grandparents. The house was spacious enough for all of us to spread out or relax separately or to be together in the common areas. The kitchen was well-equipped and we cooked most of our meals at the house. Location couldn’t have been more convenient with grocery and restaurant options within walking distance! Our entire crew loved the house and we’ll likely have to stay at a beachfront house moving forward. This one set a high bar!

If you are looking for a reasonably priced ocean front home, Windy Dunes is one you should consider. The ocean view and sound of the surf night and day was absolutely incredible. It alone was worth the long trip. The house was clean and functional, and easily accommodated our group of 7. The beach access path was right next to the house and one was on the beach in literally a few minutes. The house itself needed some minor maintenance issues to address, but the VACASA staff was incredibly responsive and helpful in all respects. I would readily repeat this experience!

Convenient location and great experience
The location is ideal, as the beach is accessible just a minute away.
The rental was clean but could use some TLC. (Water spots, splatters on the wall, dirty baseboards- a good deep clean.)
The beds were extremely comfortable and the bedding was clean.
All of the showers had hot water, except the bedroom with the connecting bathroom on the lower level. It was a consistent luke warm temp with very little water pressure.
The kitchen had all that we needed, excluding a good nonstick pan, which we had to purchase.
Many shops and restaurants within walking distance.
A beautiful view from each room,
clean, comfy furniture, and thoughtful amenities (hand soap, dove travel toiletries, dish liquid, paper towels, sponges, dishwasher and laundry pods)
The washer and dryer are clean, convenient, and new.
Vacasa checked in on us and were extremely courteous. They made the process easy and flawless. Vacasa has been by far the best rental company we’ve used (and we have used many in the OBX)
Our family had a lovely experience . We have never wanted to book the same rental twice but we would absolutely stay here again!
Thank you for a comfortable stay and awonderful vacation!

Breakers Watch is a beautiful home. The pool is huge and a great place to spend time after being on the beach. The bedrooms are nicely decorated and the bathrooms are large. The view of the ocean is wonderful when relaxing on the top deck. This was the first home I stayed in that the owners actually called to thank us for staying in their home. I highly recommend this home to others for a relaxing week in Avon. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

The views of the ocean made this wonderful rental so much better. We had plenty of space to spread out, but enough seating when we all wanted to be together. Love that our entire family could eat around the table. We will be back! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
