Spacious clean and pretty close to the beach. Can’t see the ocean from the house and there are stairs to get on the beach don’t bring wagons :) easy to get ahold of Hatteras reality

We appreciate the helpful feedback about the beach access and stairs, and we’re happy to hear our team was easy to reach. We hope to welcome you back to the Outer Banks again soon!

I've been renting all kinds of houses on this island for 50 plus years and this one has been probably my all-time favorite house it was absolutely the best equipped and everything you needed in it and it was just very nice and homey very comfortable. I would rent this one every time

Our stay was great. Location couldn’t be better for beach and access to things you may need or want to do. The house could use some updates, bathroom mostly and kitchen is kind of small, but was overall comfortable, clean and met our needs for the week. We did take the offer to extend our stay by a day and have enjoyed our time here. The only actual downfall was bugs, but that’s a hazard of the environment we understand, so just pack plenty of bug spray! All in all would come back again. Enjoyed our week!

Nice no frills cottage. Close to the beach. Little outdated but who cares when you’re there for the beach. Will be back.

The house was absolutely amazing, the house came with all the kitchen stuff that you needed and was a short distance away from the beach. Only thing I could think to say was that the dishwasher would come out of the slot when you would slide both racks out. Backyard could have been a little better. Overall would definitely rent the house again

I really liked the home. The closed it front porch, the spacious bedrooms, the place was welcoming. My only 2 recommends, 1- can opener was useless, need a new one. 2- need a blow dryer for the house.

Close to the beach, good house.

This is a smaller and obvious older home as it needs attention to the wood work on the outside including the walkway decking as there is quite a bit of rot. The interior of the home is nice with newer carpet on the bedrooms and tile that could use attention throughout the kitchen and living/dining areas. The walk to the beach is not bad at all and the week we were down it was very quiet. The mosquitoes are quite bad on the property as the parking area is not paved or concreted the grass area had not been mowed. With that being said the laundry area is also downstairs as well and makes for an uncomfortable time trying to clean your clothes. Make sure to have plenty of bug spray along.

Although we have stayed in some larger, more upscale homes, Drift Inn was perfect for us!! The kitchen is very well equipped and it looks as though the whole house has recently been updated. I love that there is only one flight of stairs and the short stroll to the beach was easy. It was perfect for my older dog. We will be back to Drift Inn!!

Quaint cottage in walking distance to the beach- we enjoyed our weekend stay very much! However, do not expect a glamorous, updated fancy, modern beach house! The house smelled strongly of mildew, but after a bit it became less noticeable. Top bunks are not safe to sleep on- this is coming from someone who owns 2 bunk beds that are slept in every night. Bunk in front room needs a railing (due to the narrow mattress) and the ladder to the top bunk in the back room was broken- you couldn’t even safely climb up if you wanted to. Couches were very uncomfortable. The house was clean, but the water coming out from the tap tasted very salty. Coffee as a result was very salty. Decor is dated, but in a very charming, “grandma’s cottage” sort of way. My husband and I were delighted with all the quaint little details and decorations. It felt like a home that has been lived in and enjoyed for many decades.

Economy unit very worth the price.

We are a family of 6, 2 3 adults and 3 children(18, 13, 9 and 2). The home was perfect for us with the bunk beds. The layout was a bit small, but we made it work. The porch door had a lock on both sides so it was nice with our toddler who loves to explore. There are definitely areas that could be updated and repaired, but for the price and location it was all we needed.

Home is conveniently located in Avon. Kitchen was nice with everything we needed for the week. It was also nice to have some starter supplies (toilet paper, soap, etc.) already in the bathrooms when we got to the house. The furniture is nice, but I would just note that you'll probably be uncomfortable if you prefer to sit on something more plush. Laundry setup is good. Biggest reason for a 4-star rating rather than 5-stars is that one of the bunk beds had a broken ladder which could have been dangerous had we not noticed before any of the kids tried to climb up. To Vacasa's credit, we contacted them about this and they would have sent someone out while we were there to address the issue had we needed them to (we didn't, as we only needed to use 3 of the 4 bunks). There was also a nail sticking out of one of the feet on the dining room table which one of us scraped our foot on. Lastly, I would say it oversells the crow's nest a little bit to boast about the ocean views. The crow's nest is a nice place to go up and look up at the stars at night and hear the ocean off in the distance, or maybe to read a book. But there isn't much ocean to see from there, just a greatly limited view of what you can see of it between houses. I'm not meaning to focus more on negatives than positives, though. Overall we really enjoyed the house, and assuming that the couple of small maintenance things are addressed we would consider staying in it again if we returned to Avon on a future vacation.

Robert -

This home is very similar yo the older cottage that we owned in Avon for many years so it is perfect for our family.

Anne -

The house is close to the beach aaccess. It is older, so if you're looking for updates this isn't the place for you. It met our needs just fine.

Diane -

Very accommodating and easy access to the beach.

Other than the weather, our trip was enjoyable. The Drift Inn is quaint and cozy. Enjoyed a good read on the screened deck while it rained was relaxing and comfortable. The only real issue is that the home is surrounded by overgrown trees (hard to get that Ocean View) and covered... I mean COVERED, in Poison Ivy. Also, the "fish cleaning" area could be tidied up.... the last people who stayed there, put their fish mess in the trash can but never took it to the road to be picked up so we smelled dead fish until we realized where it came from. Other than that, very accomodating.

This cottage is similar to the one we owned for many years so, although older, it was comfortable for us. Loved the screened porch.

Pretty good experience overall.

We were locked out to begin with...after several calls to closed office, the OBR lady got us connected with local person who remotely got us in...have stayed there for several years, always helpful. Was afraid big guys would not be as personable...they were!!!

Excellent layout, awesome views & decks. In-house laundry. Private street. Quick, scenic walk to beach. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Primetime was an amazing property. We were a little hesitant on booking a home without a private pool, but with the community pool close by and the fact that we stayed Oceanfront, it was well worth not having the swimming pool. There was no issues at all. It was a nice and relaxing vacation not having to worry about small, silly things. The views were stunning. Thank you Outer Beaches Realty! We will definitely see you next year! Would like to re-book this home, but I believe we will need a bigger one next year.

Cute home for a small family. Very close to the beach and loved the hot tub room. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

We love staying at Breakers Watch. The home is beautiful and spacious. We had so much fun in the huge pool during the day and relaxing on the decks at night. It is only a short walk to the beach. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Bay Watch is the most spectacular home we stayed in on Kings Point in Frisco. The home is in a perfect location for windsurfing, paddle boarding and kayaking. The kitchen is well equipped and having a working barbecue is a bonus for cooking fresh fish and other food purchased locally. E have entertained in the home and the dining room is perfectly located with a great view of the bay to watch the sunsets. The home is pet friendly which was a must for us. We met many of the locals and will miss them but have forged friendships so I am sure we will see them again! We can`t thank Jim & Cathy, the home owners, enough for sharing their home with our family over the past 10 years.
