Description
Nothing could be finer than a stay at Carolina House, a quaint, oceanfront home that will charm you from the entry to the views. Walk up the wooden boardwalk path and stairs, passing the small outdoor shower under the home, to the first-floor entry. On this level are several bedrooms and a full-size, front-loading, Samsung washer/dryer. Two of the four bedrooms on this floor have two twin beds each; one has a TV and a VCR. Down the hall, you'll find a third bedroom with a queen bed, a TV, and a DVD player, and a fourth with a queen bed and in-room access to the shared hallway bath. Head up to the second floor to find an open floor plan with fresh paint and flooring. Three large, sliding glass windows frame ocean vistas, making it hard to remember what life was like back home. Enjoy the view from the dining table or pull up a seat at the small breakfast bar that peeks into the kitchen with granite countertops and subway tile backsplash. Soak it all in as you relax in the cozy great room with a TV and breathtaking beach scenes. The queen bedroom on this level offers in-room access to a recently updated bathroom with a tub/shower that is shared with the living area. Speaking of new remodels, the oceanfront sundeck received one in 2023. While there, you can sink into Adirondack chairs with a cool beverage, and a hot tub around the corner on the upper-level deck. Afterward, go for a dip in the shared Club Hatteras pool Stroll to the public boardwalk that borders the property, carrying you up and over the steep dune to the beach. Feel great about your choice to make Carolina House your home this year.
*Oceanfront homes are subject to beach nourishment projects scheduled by individual towns. Visit our FAQ regarding beach nourishment and links to town provided schedules.*
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.

First. I’m going to point out that I paid more to book this on VRBO because I’d used them before, but in hindsight next time I’ll save the money and book directly with Vacasa because they did all the work.
Positives:
Great location. Right next to beach access. Spacious parking. Plenty of kitchen amenities (cooked for 7 the whole time). Ocean front and easy to see the pier from the deck. Love the quiet hours for neighborhood. Keypad lock made it easy for us to come and go from the beach in groups. Convenient private outside shower and rinse station. Within delivery range for pizza from Buxton. Close to the grocery, gas, & emergency beach supplies. Easy TV login for streaming services. Easy to use hot tub.
The A/C worked great. I’m mentioning this specifically because it worried me in other reviews. The only times we were warm upstairs was when doing a lot of cooking all at once with the oven & stoves on. (Low to mid 80s outside all week)
The layout for socializing was nice since the person making dinner could talk to people watching TV or playing board games at the table at the same time.
Vacasa - Super friendly and made access for extra sheets and bath towels easy
Things to know - bring extra dish cloths and throws to snuggle under (there were no extra throw blankets in the house). Bring your own beach towels, sand toys, water boards/floats, chairs.
While I wouldn’t classify this as a luxury property, it’s a solid, upper-middle choice. Can’t beat it for the amenities at this price point. Thanks for a great week of memories!

Go out on the beach after dark and hunt ghost crabs. Also in the wet sand, if you drag your foot across it in the dark, you can see bioluminescence.

We had some issues with the door lock and cleanliness of the home, all which were made right by the manager. Overall we had a good stay and the house was perfect for our needs. Very nice back deck with a hot tub and gorgeous view of the ocean

Perfect Space
The Carolina House was the perfect amount of space we needed for our scaled down yearly OBX family trip. The only real flaw the house had was that at night in the master bedroom it was super warm. Everyone who was downstairs had to use extra blankets (which is a good thing)! We went to the hardware store and bought a fan which helped to alleviate the warm bedroom. Other than that, the house was great. Well stocked kitchen and although we only used it once, the hot tub was fantastic!

Great location and well supplied kitchen. Nice large dining room table for our group of 10. Could use some hangers in the closets and more blankets. (AC kept the house cool in the evening but for some reason for warm during the night). Some family games would be a nice addition. We also had to buy our own rope for outside clothes line and clothes pins. Other homes that we have rented in Avon have supplied these items. A second outside shower would be a great addition since this home accommodates 10 people.

We love the location, it is away from the higher activity around the pier but close enough to get to necessary amenities. The house is spacious and the elevator makes packing and unpacking so easy. We also love the gas grill. I wish all the OBX houses had gas grills. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Great Vacation!
Thank you! We enjoyed our stay immensely. The check in process was very easy. We got an email on our way down of how to access the house since we were coming in very late the first night. The AC worked well! And the walk to the beach was perfect. Beach wasn’t crowded and everyone we met was considerate. Thank you! Would stay again!
