Description Description
On a prime lot, only one row back from the sound front and directly bordering the undeveloped National Seashore property, Shoot the Breeze commands superior sound, lighthouse, and ocean views. A short walk to the sound-side beach provides access to a highly-coveted kiteboarding and windsurfing launch. On the first living level, you will find four comfy bedrooms; three have deck access, including the primary room with a private bath. Up the stairs is a huge, open great room with high ceilings, lots of light, deck access, and breathtaking views. The living area has three separate sitting areas and access to the sprawling south-facing sundeck. The nearby kitchen is well-equipped and features a breakfast bar for four. Serving meals is a delight in the adjacent dining area, or you can step out onto the screened porch to dine alfresco. A beautiful winding staircase leads to a comfortable, open loft area with superb views of the sound, marsh, and surrounding area. The home has a Clipper Creek 32 Amp Level 2 Charger 7.7 kW electric car charger.

We spent 3 wonderful weeks at Shoot the Breeze and enjoyed every minute. The deck and the beach on the sound make the property. Doesn't look like its going to be a rental in 2026 which is a shame! :(

Loved everything about this house. Quiet area and so close to the sound and ocean beach. The furnishing on the main floor of the house are top notch. Lots of leather and heavy wood. Overall a fantastic place to spend the week.

I loved the house, the proximity to the sound and ocean, and the deck for just sitting and enjoying the birds and environs.

Not only is this house as described, its location to both the sound and the beach is perfect. We made use of both. At the house we were relaxed and comfortable as we enjoyed all the panoramic views. We had a great stay and look forward to our next trip at Shoot the Breeze!

This home is one of the best on the island, backing up to a protected area, walking distance to the Sound and the ocean. It has a beautiful scenic view of the landscape, the kitchen has everything you need to cook a large meal for friends and family. We've stayed here twice and we'll be back again.

Very beautiful home and nicely appointed with all the comforts. My wife loved the openness and size of the kitchen. Very easy to accommodate and cook for a large family. She also loved the reading loft! Kids (and dad) thoroughly enjoyed the sound which is a very short walk via a path behind the House. Very short drive (or walk) to beach access (#38) and 1.5mi drive to the community pool. Hatteras is a short 20min drive down hwy 12s. We had a wonderful time and made some great memories! We will certainly look to stay here again when we return.

This house is a gem! The house itself is lovely, the furniture is really nice, the setting and views are awesome. We loved the little sound side beach, and it’s also an easy walk to the “real” beach. Overall, an amazing spot and we wouldn’t change a thing!

We loved everything about this house and the location. Honestly, can't mention a single thing that was missing our didn't meet our expectations. The views are as beautiful as shown in the pictures and you can even see a sliver of the ocean from one of the ORV access points at the end of the road. The sandy sound-side beach was lovely if you wanted a break from the surf and perfect if you have little ones with you. We loved the layout of the house with the different seating areas, but all together in one large space. The furnishing were all updated and beautifully appointed. Lots of nice local art and accessories set the tone and made for relaxing evenings after a day fishing and swimming in the ocean. Kitchen was very well equipped and even had sharp knives! The AC worked really well and kept the house comfortable at all times. There are two outdoor showers, along with 2 very useful hoses for cleaning up after the beach. Bedrooms are nicely done up and comfortable. There is some beach gear, including 4 beach chairs and a nice library of books, puzzles and games. We will certainly be coming back to this house for future beach weeks. Thanks for sharing your home with me and my family.

THis was our first time in OBX. I did a lot of research of what area to stay in, and my sister had been to Avon a couple of years ago and recommended it. I did a lot more research about what home we would rent. RIght away, the pictures of the bright 2-story great room drew me in! Add to it that it was pet-friendly, and located on the sound with convenient access to the Atlantic and it checked our boxes! When we walked in upon arrival we all gasped and ooh'd and ahh'd (including our 13 and 17 year olds!) The house was immaculate and incredibly well appointed and so beautifully furnished and updated! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Amazing house with great views of the sound and ocean. Well stocked kitchen and beautiful art throughout. So much more than a beach house.

This was our second stay at Shoot the Breeze in Avon. We love its location on the National Seashore, close walk to the beach, and path to a sound-side beach. The house's main floor is spectacular, with quality furniture, large open spaces, smaller sitting areas, and a reading loft complete with many books. Our family hosted two other families for Thanksgiving and had plenty of room for dining, food, and gathering. We hope to visit this house again soon. Vacasa was quick to answer questions, the house was sparkly clean on arrival, and essential items were provided.

Wow! Great sunrise and sunset from the 3rd floor deck! The house has everything you need. We went during the off season and there were still plenty of places open to eat and shop. You have access to a beach on the sound side through a path in the back of the home. We enjoyed fishing and wading in the water, especially our dog since he didn’t have to compete with waves on the coastal side. However, the coastal side is down the street and is walkable. There was plenty of room on the 3rd floor to spread out, a lot of seating, huge dining area and lots of natural light. We loved opening all the blinds, looking at the water and watching the kite surfers and birds go by. Plus, you’ll see deer run by or outside the home. The large kitchen was very well equipped for anything you want to cook or just make coffee. The 2nd floor has all the bedrooms and a couple of bathrooms which were spacious and each had their own television, dresser, closet, etc. plus access to the deck with the hot tub. You can watch the sunset from the hot tub while getting a nice massage. There were hoses to rinse off the sand from any beach excursions too. Plus, they have a beach buggy and beach chairs you can use. We enjoyed our stay there.

This is by far our most favorite home we've ever stayed in on the Island and we will book it again. Home is very comfortable, great views and close to everything.

Our family loved having coffee in the morning looking out over the marsh and bay. In the evenings, we watched the stars - and the milky way appear. It was magical and awe inspiring. The top floor is open and airy with lots of light, comfy couches, and a fully equipped kitchen. It was lovely!

Location location location. This house is well situated. Everyone get what the OBX offer the best. Secret access to a small bayside beach, walkable distance from the ocean beach and close to the grocery and the community pool if you have enough of the beach. Very nice open concept and everything was in the house. Kitchen is very well equipped if you like to cook. Bed were comfortable and clean. Will definitely rent again.

The house should be listed higher to be honest. The upstairs level is massive and there was plenty of space for 6 people with no cramped vibes. There’s a private trail to the sound and you are within walking distance to the ocean ramp as well (it’s at the end of the road). Also, a short distance to the Cape Hatteras lighthouse. We were genuinely surprised at how awesome Shoot the Breeze is. Quick note, all appliances and furniture were up to date! 10/10
