Description
NEW FOR 2026: A new washer, dryer, fridge, tile floors in the dining room and kitchen, and a completely renovated top-floor bathroom!!! Sound FX is a four-bedroom, three-bath, sound-front home in Avon. The private dock and two-tier deck help to highlight the best sunset views while enjoying the soothing small splash sounds that come from the waters just below. The first floor is home to the kitchen, a study, a double-sized bedroom, a living room with a large flatscreen TV, and a dining room. With plenty of windows inside and out, you will never feel too far from the water. Upstairs you will find the remaining bedrooms that include a primary king-sized bedroom suite with a small lounging space and private TV, a separate large king-sized bedroom, and a third queen-sized bedroom. Enjoy outdoor dining on the deck or practice any number of watersports on the sound. Whether you're here for kayaking, standup paddleboarding, or kitesurfing, or you just want to drop a line and go fishing, there is something for everyone at Sound FX.
Please Note: As a barrier island, Hatteras is constantly changing. Beach conditions, dunes, and access points may vary due to erosion, restoration projects, weather, and other environmental factors.

Loved the house! The view by the water was beautiful! So relaxing! My husband and I have come to the OBX for over 30 years and never stayed anywhere south of Nags Head until this past week. We loved the small town of Avon. So calm and quiet it was a wonderful week.

The house is spectacular inside for families and for location. It was more than what we expected and we truly wish we could’ve stayed two weeks. We can’t wait to go back and enjoy the best view in the whole island and the peaceful serenity it brings as well. Please book because you will not be disappointed.

No better view on the bay, and perfect place to launch a paddle board or fish from the dock. The deck provides shaded morning and early afternoon views and quiet. There are ample sleeping rooms and a fabulously sized master suite upstairs. Remember, it is an older house with older furniture, some of which is quite worn. But is very comfortable and located in a quiet community. If you are a little forgiving on details, the house makes for a restful beach week. No road noise. Quiet.

Wonderful
We loved the house. It was perfect for what we were looking for, which was a quiet getaway,and since we visited in late December, that is exactly what we got. People in the area are friendly. I really appreciate how the owner provided things that we might not would have thought about, such a trash bags and dishwashing detergent. I also really appreciate how we got a call back almost immediately when we were struggling with how to lock the doors. I would definitely recommend this rental.

fantastic spot on the sound
The views from house, especially at sunset, are spectacular. The master bedroom is enormous. The location is quiet, and very convenient for wind and water sports. The house was clean and everything was in good working order :)

Great house for 3 or 4 adults and some kiddos!
The house was spotless at checkin. The view of- and access to the Pamlico Sound is amazing. Kitchen has everything you need. Plenty of bathrooms and some space to relax. Probably not best pick for 6-8 larger adults.

Nice view
This house has a fantastic sound view. Wonderful sunsets and a variety of birds to watch. Perfect for fishing, kayaking or wind sports. The house isn’t plush but has everything you need. On a bad weather day, sit in the sunroom and watch the storm roll across the sound.

The Sound FX property was well appointed and everything was in working order. Everything was very clean, the beds were clean and comfy.
The unobstructed view of the sound from both decks was outstanding. We watch the cormorants and pelicans diving for fish many times.
Overall we had a great stay at the Sound FX property, we would definitively book it again but next time in a warmer month.

The View
Sound FX is located on a large lot that is a point sticking out into the sound. A canal on each side means you have 180 degree view over water. Watch, or participate, in wind sports, kayak, or fish off the dock. The sunsets are awesome.

Location away from the main road makes for a quiet place. Being on the water is ideal for using kayaks or SUPs, the inlets are somewhat protected. Easy walk to the beach via public path between houses on ocean side.
