Description

Love the water? Then make the beautiful Island Creek Resort your home for a week or a lifetime. This semi-private waterfront resort has 16 island-style homes designed for the active beach life. Set on Avon's pristine north end and accessible only by bridge, Island Creek Resort offers over 1,000 feet of shallow sound-front access. Windsurfers, kite surfers, kayakers, and kids will love this ultra-friendly location, where miles of open Pamlico Sound facilitate launching, fishing, exploring, relaxing, or just horsing around in the water. The boat ramp and docks handle small boats and personal watercraft. Acres of manicured sod keep Island Creek Resort looking good and feeling good underfoot. Relax in ICR's community pool or grab the Coppertone and head across the street to Avon's super beachfront. Spring and fall guests sing ICR's praises for board sports, while families regale in this secret spot for summer getaways. Seasoned travelers even head to ICR for their winter holidays. For parents introducing their families to the world of watersports and experts looking to perfect kiting, windsurfing, and kayaking techniques, this is truly a resort for all seasons. Island Creek Resort, Avon. It's always better on the island. The boat slips are first come first served. SHARED AMENITIES Community pool. PRIVATE HOT TUB CLOSED FOR WINTER 2025-2026

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.

Nice place. Great location with beautiful sound views. Cleanliness could be improved. Hot tub needs repair (does not stay hot). Water pressure is severely lacking. Otherwise a lovely OBX spot.

Being right on the sound is wonderful!

Great spot close to both the ocean and sound which we love.

The location is amazing with direct sound access and ocean access just a 5 minute walk across the street. The house layout is great with 3 bedrooms on the lower level, kitchen living and dining areas on the main floor and a master loft suite. The house is clean and comfortable but is somewhat outdated and could use a bit of TLC. This house is more expensive than the neighbouring properties (probably because of the loft bedroom) but not sure that it is worth the extra $. If you want sound access for wind sports, you can't go wrong.

Great house for location. Loft King Suite is very hot. Lovely view but if sensitive to heat when sleeping suggest to use the mid floor king.

This house is an ideal location for windsurfers of all abilities… and if the wind doesn’t cooperate, the beach is only a few blocks away.

The Island Gale #5 is a great location on the sound, with beautiful sunsets. It was close to all amenities and beach access and located across the street from the pool. It could use a little TLC but we would definitely stay there again!

We had a blast there at Island Gale. Lots of room for 8 Very comfortable bed in upper level room. Functional kitchen and amazing view from the spacious lîving room. The amenities outside for storing windsurfing equipment could use some maintenance. You could ad racks for smaller boards. Outside shower is great. Awsome vacation.

Really loved being right on the sound while also only a short walk (8 minutes to the sand) to the beach. Walkable to some cool places and a quick drive to all of Avon. Only major changes I’d make are to seal off the un-air conditioned crawl spaces off the top floor bedroom. They are making it very hot up there.

Perfect location for windsurfing and short walk to the beach!

The location is perfect for kitesurfing, with plenty of space to prepare stock. The sea is an 8-minute walk away.

On the sound and a comfortable walk to the ocean as well.

Can you tell … loved the location of the house. Sits right on the sound. Perfect place for renting SUPs or Kayaks. Can sit out on the deck or in the hot tub watching the sunset. Will definitely return. Only complaint is the air conditioning to the top floor main suite needs improvement.

Can't beat the views

Most of the houses in this neighborhood received updates when the homes were sold last year, and this one has brand new flooring and carpeting in certain rooms. Amazing view, nice house layout. We'll be coming back for sure. Staying on the sound is so much nicer than oceanfront.

The view was fabulous. We watched windsurfers, kiteboarders and kayakers cavort outside the living room window. Highly entertained!

Everything is good. Perfect sound view and close to beach.

Very nice and clean house with full stocked kitchen. My kids had fun crabing and fishing right at the backyard. The view is perfect. Beach access is two minutes drive.
