Description

Hunting for the perfect Hatteras Island vacation cottage? Set your sights on the newly renovated canal front Duckin Around. With a near-perfect canal-front location in mid-Avon, DNA has a small boat dock and a bulkheaded waterfront that is ideal for small boats, kayaks, SUPs, fishing, and crabbing. DNA has great concrete parking, two carports, an outside shower, and a park grill. This single story cedar shake cottage has a nicely furnished sundeck that overlooks the canal out back. Supervising kids in the yard or on the water is a bonus. The new vinyl plank flooring is gorgeous and easy to clean and maintain. The living area is well furnished and anchored by a 55” Smart TV and electric fireplace. The kitchen has all-new stainless appliances, a new Keurig coffee machine, and a dining table. The good-size king main bedroom offers a good neighborhood view, a Smart TV, and a full bath with a tub/shower. Bedroom two has one double-size bunk and a flat-screen TV. The hall bath has a tub/shower and is adjacent to the stack washer/dryer nook. Bedroom three has one double-size bunk and a flat-screen TV. Bring your bikes because Avon has a superb village pedestrian/bike path that leads to some great restaurants and shopping. Duckin Around is so clean and comfortable that you will be flying back for a visit sooner than you think. Not to mention, the local DQ is only a five-minute walk, and the beach is just a ten-minute walk from your front door so you will have fun days of sweet treats and sandy toes at your fingertips!

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.

We loved the House!!!!! But would like You to know under Both Couches was filthy and there was quite a bit of sand on the Top Bunk in left bedroom. Just being honest because if You don't know then You can't fix it. Other than that THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL VACATION!

Family had an awesome vacation! Hatteras Realty was very responsive (even on a holiday weekend). Had a TV go out and had a replacement ordered and installed within two days. Very nice stay and we plan to return next year. Thanks again.

Excellent location for a dog friendly vacation. Easy walk to nearby coffee shops and restaurants. House was clean and in good condition. Only deducted a point because the master bedroom/bathroom appears to be an addition to the home as there is a slight tilt to that whole area. That didn't matter to us, but it might to some so I thought I should point it out.

Duckin Around was a great family vacation in a nice quiet neighborhood. The location on the canal with a small dock provided for paddle boarding out to the open sound for nightly sunsets. The location is also great for a quick walk to the beach or nearby ramps for vehicle beach access (which is what we did each day). The house is well maintained by the owner who obviously takes great care of the exterior ( really nice) and interior of the home. Outside there is ample parking with two covered spots which was great for the jeep and to house all of our beach boards, sea kayak etc. Inside the kitchen is well equipped with pots and pans for daily cooking and lots of puzzles to keep everyone busy. Finally, the house AC worked fantastic on the extremely hot and humid days we were there. I would definitely recommend this home for an OBX vacation.

This home was conveniently located, pretty well stocked, and the beds were extremely comfy, surprising for bunk beds! All guest commented on how comfortable the beds were.

Beautiful view from patio, Star gazing…short walk to beach

Peaceful and serene

A beautiful home for a small family with kids looking to get away. A peaceful community and great home to stay in.

House was clean and well stocked for those who would like to cook. However there are so many great restaurants close by that you definitely don’t have to cook. Grocery store and other stores close by. This is the perfect place for family vacation or couples vacation. Avon was a neural vacation spot to get to see both North & South ends of the island. We will visit again

All around great place to stay

We’ve stayed at many houses in Avon over the years and the was one of our favorites for a couple or small family. House is updated and cozy, with a nice spot on the canal out to the sound.

My husband and I and our aging dog, appreciated half the steps to climb. It was very peaceful on the canal and the house was very cute. I don’t have any complaints about the house at all. And it was very clean.

We found the home very cozy and well appointed. Master bed was comfortable and we the single floor living a delight after decades of 3 story OBX houses. The deck is shaded from noon to 5ish. The canal view is nice but others nearby have grander vistas. The kitchen had everything we needed and the furniture was all in good shape. The Wifi was especially strong and we had no issues streaming content, even out on the deck! Would definitely return.

Very efficient house plan. Primary bedroom is on the opposite end of the house from the other two bedrooms. House gives an airy peaceful vibe. Family friendly home. Totally met our needs.

Great Duckin' Visit :)

Duckin' Around met all of our needs! I loved the layout of the house with the primary bedroom on the opposite side of the house from the other two bedrooms. A very functional house plan, more so than many other Avon rentals we've stayed in with more square footage. I appreciated the fact that the primary bathroom had a wall cabinet, which was the perfect size for my make-up, toiletries, and hair products. I enjoyed the airy vibe the recent updates offered. Before our stay, I read a review about Palmetto bugs, which we know are indigenous to the area, however, we saw none, even being on the lookout for them. We always, always take large gallon storage bags to store any open dry foods like chips, crackers, cookies, etc. for that very reason. The outdoor area and dock were family friendly and well kept. The area under the house was clean and large enough to cover a car, maybe two they are compact. Thank you to the owners for not allowing the shrubbery to be so overgrown. We truly enjoyed our time in this home.

Liked the floorpan and the canal directly behind it!

Perfect Canal Location

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Everything was clean, stocked, and comfortable. The underside of the house was a bonus for keeping the car cool/dry. One of the best outdoor showers we’ve seen in OBX. Disappointed the rates jumped up so much for next year though. Will likely have to look elsewhere as a result.

Everything at the house was very clean! Nice outside area to sit and area under the house to hang out if it’s raining or just want out of the sun. And the best thing was that the yard backed up to the canal, so you could crab, fish or kayak right from the house. All in all we was very pleased with everything including the location!!

We had a wonderful time at Duckin Around. If it hadn’t been cold and raining we would’ve done more exploring. My best friend and her husband have a a permanent RV down in Avon, so they know the area pretty well, but have never been in that area before. They loved the house so much, especially my best friend’s husband. The neighborhood was quiet, which is what we like. Only negative: microwave is broken and no one from the realty office called us back. All in all it was the perfect place for us. Will book again the future!!! Thank you!!!!
