Description
Reel Living #3-AV is a beautiful, waterfront cottage located in historic Avon Village. A dock in the back provides easy access to the shallow waters, as well as direct sound access for windsurfing, kiteboarding, kayaking, boating, SUP, crabbing, and fishing. Rinse off afterwards in the outdoor shower. The traditional Hatteras wraparound porch invites you to catch fresh breezes and enjoy the peaceful scenery. The back porch is definitely the place to be for sensational sunsets. The front door opens to a well-equipped, full kitchen with breakfast island seating and a large dining table. In the adjacent living area, you'll find soundfront seating, hardwood floors, an entertainment center with a large flatscreen TV, deck access, and fabulous water views. You'll also find a soothing hot tub with the best seat in the house for sunsets and stargazing. Bedroom one is off the kitchen, with a washer/dryer nook. Bedroom two offers a stunning, panoramic soundfront view. It has beautiful pine tongue-and-groove walls and is just steps from a full hall bath with a combination tub/shower; an adjacent door allows this bath to become part of a main suite. The second story continues easy vacation living with wood floors in three bedrooms. Bedroom three has a spacious bath with a whirlpool tub/shower. This bedroom also offers access to a third-floor tower room with a wet bar, futon, and extreme water views on three sides. Bedroom four has sound views and a full bath with a tub/shower. And bedroom five boasts sunrise views and a full bath with a large tiled shower. Out front, there is ample parking on the concrete driveway. Bring the walking shoes and bikes for treks around the quiet village roads. At Reel Living #3-AV, get a taste of true vacation living with water sports, serenity, and sunsets in a traditional fishing village.

We enjoyed everything about the property. Great 3 weeks of windsurfing! A big thank you to Hatteras Realty for promptly attending to any issues we had. Hatteras Realty has been very accommodating to work with. The house was clean and well stocked with kitchen dishes and cooking pans. Planning to return again next year.Ronald -

The house was very comfortable, it was easy finding a spot away from other guests. Nice chairs on the deck, 2 kayaks and an outdoor shower. Revommend bringing a bycycle or renting it if you are a beach person. Kind of long walk to the beach side. Lots of puzzles and games, books. Great location for windsurfers. Highly recommend.Anonymous -

We booked a partial week at this lovely home, and we were so happy that we did. The house was very clean, and very well appointed with all the things that make for a comfortable stay; well-stocked kitchen, wine chiller, board games, cozy blankets, toys for kids, 2 kayaks, space to spread out inside and outside on the covered porch. Our dog was very happy to play in the water near the dock, while we enjoyed sunsets in the hot tub. Don't miss a chance to enjoy a little of the classic Outer Banks vibe this home, and quiet neighborhood, has to offer.Anonymous -

Terrific stay
This lovely property is situated idyllically right on the sound, with gorgeous sunset views, comfy beds and truly delightful decor throughout. VERY clean. Nice quiet, yet friendly neighborhood. The ocean side is a 3 minute drive away, and the overall location was near enough to everything our group wanted to see.Our only issues were supplies: For a 4-night stay, we were left only 2 pods for the dishwasher (and after each cycle there was always a clump of hardened detergent left in the dishwasher dispenser), only 2 pods for the clothes washer, and NO extra trash bags. Communication with the "host" - a property mgmt company - was OK, except when I texted to see if add'l trash bags were perhaps stored someplace we hadn't found, I got what seemed to be an automated reply that ignored my question and instead told me what days the trash is picked up.We all agreed we would stay here again the first chance we got!Karen S. -
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful sunset views, comfy beds, and delightful decor of the property. It sounds like you had a lovely stay in a peaceful neighborhood, and we're glad the location suited your group's needs. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you faced regarding the supplies during your stay. To clarify, we provide our guests with a starter kit of supplies. This includes cleaning supplies, toiletries, and paper products. Once these supplies run out it is the responsibility of our guests to provide any additional supplies throughout the remainder of their stay. Supplies are restocked before each guest. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused during your time with us. We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable visit.Hatteras Realty staff

Location was excellent. House is awesome. If you're a dog owner, be aware of potential visitors when letting your pup out the front, as neighborhood dogs often are roaming outside this property. Ours had a blast with them - the social committee is friendly. Just FYI.Michelle M. -

Spacious House on the Sound
We loved this house! The beds and pillows were comfy, plus the sheets were already on the beds. The hot tub had great sunset views. It was nice to access fishing/swimming in the sound off the backyard. There was ample parking for multiple vehicles. The kitchen had every utensil and item you could ever desire. I would highly recommend this house and plan to stay here again soon.Jessica J. -

The house was beautifully furnished. It felt very comfortable. Plenty of games for the children indoors and cornhole on the side porch. Two kayaks and beach toys for playing in the sand. Any item you could possibly want in the kitchen. Friendly "village" as my cousin referred to it who lives in Hatteras. The small children loved swimming in the sound. My Son enjoyed fishing. The older kids liked the hot tub. Food Lion was close and convenient. Beautiful sunsets from the back porch. I did not want to leave. ThanksAnonymous -

This property is positioned to give view to the most beautiful sunsets we have ever experienced in all of our travels! I'm so happy we found Reel Living #3 and had the opportunity to stay last week. The property was clean upon arrival, kitchen was well appointed, and the hot tub was a great perk -- especially while taking in the sunsets each evening. The house is in a quiet area - 1 neighboring home was occupied by vacationers as well, but otherwise appeared to be vacant rentals and local residents who were quiet and kept to themselves (which we appreciate). While the dock is narrow and not terribly comfortable for fishing or lounging, it was a nice way to access the water without having to leave the house. Local area has grocery store, restaurants, seafood market, etc. close by and within minutes of multiple beach access points. Washer/dryer was a nice bonus for someone who doesn't want to take home bags of laundry. Highly recommend this property for a larger group, though we enjoyed it as a couple traveling alone - did I mention the amazing sunsets?!?Anonymous -

We had a delightful time at Reel Living! There was a neat “wow” factor as we walked in—so clean and nicely decorated! We were pleasantly surprised at how deceptively large the house was…and yet it was not overwhelming…just right for the eight of us (easily accommodates ten). Our favorite feature was the amazing (and peaceful!) view of the sound. We planned this as a celebration for my wife’s 60th, and it was a perfect choice!Anonymous -

Quiet
The check-in process was great including a one hour earlier Check in. The rental company, VS VaCasa answered any questions we had quickly. The house is beautiful, and was very clean. The kitchen is fully equipped, which helped out because we cooked all but one of our meals there. The hot tub was very clean and well situated on the back deck with views overlooking the water. The only thing to be aware of; if you bring your dog or dogs, which we did, local dogs will randomly show up in your front and backyard, none of them were aggressive, but it's good to be aware of. Overall, we had a fabulous stay.Bradley A. -

Charming home with great views and fantastic layout
Beautifully decorated, Reel Living is an updated older home in the older part of Avon with a comfortable layout and some really cool surprises like a tower with a futon and a work station! Accessibility was great for people with achy knees, with a reasonable number of steps to the first floor, where the kitchen, living room, and two bedrooms are located. Three roomy bedrooms upstairs had very comfy furnishings, en suites, and great views. The kitchen was well-stocked. The shaded deck offers fantastic soundfrount views. The grassy yard was perfect for rigging sailboarding equipment, and the little dock was great for launching kayaks and paddle boards. The owners thoughtfully include two kayaks, some bikes, and beach chairs for their renters. Our family has stayed in several houses in Avon, and Reel Living is by far our favorite.Tara L. -

House was amazing. The view out back is so spectacular especially at sunset. Very nicely decorated. The kayaks were a real treat. Kitchen at front door is perfect with large table for whole family. The wrap around porch is great for little kids to run and get out energy. Just a stunning house. Will look to rent again.Freeda M. -

It’s a great smaller house, right on the Sound. The new owners have updated many things in this house. My Wife and I were here for 2 weeks. A very nice, relaxing vacation. They changed TV service providers from Directv to ROKU/Spectrum streaming services. We were not familiar with these and didn’t even find Spectrum live TV until the 2nd week. This was the only major problem for 2 Disabled Retired people. A Television Guide would be VERY helpful! We will probably book this house again.Anonymous -

I came up to Reel Living with two friends to work remotely for the month of February. The house was PHENOMENAL. We enjoyed the sunsets each night and had plenty of space to work and live. The WiFi was very fast and was able to accommodate three people working remotely for the entire month. Vacasa was also incredibly responsive and when we called with a need, they fulfilled it same day! 100% would recommend this home to anyone who wants to enjoy peace and quiet on beautiful Hatteras Island!Anonymous -
