My sister and I had a fun and relaxing week in Avon. Yoga on the beach, tandem hand gliding, delicious seafood, and walks on the beach! The house was well maintained and had everything we needed. A great time!

The cottage is charming, with great views. However there seems to be perennial problems with internet connectivity and cable tv. We had problems both last year and this year. Also faucets drip and toilets run, and electrical outlets in master br are loose. I would think Meg, the owner, could save $ if faucets and toilets were fixed.

Had a wonderful stay at Gray Gables with our boys and their girlfriends! The set up was perfect for our family of 7, especially for game nights and beautiful beach days.

We loved the house. Nice for an older home. Loved sitting on the porch in the evening listening to the waves. Loved the private walk over the dunes with no steps to the beach! Loved all the beach stuff to use. Would love to come back again.

The house is exactly as described in pictures and written details. The upstairs is very open and we never felt crowded. There were 4 adults and 2 teenagers in our group. We even thought , that another family of 3 could have joined us without feeling cramped. The four bedrooms and 3 baths are downstairs. 2 bedrooms have a full bath, 2 share the other. There is plenty of deck space on both levels. The jacuzzi is on the lower level and was wonderful. Clean and in great working order. Whoever cleans this home does an immaculate job. The beach is a bit of a hike and uphill, but is closer than depicted in the pictures. The beach is huge and not crowded. The area of Avon, is safe but has very few activities for children. It is definitely more laid back and less congested, but worth the drive. There is a food lion for groceries and some nice restaurants, pizza places , and of course ice cream. We recommend Ocean Bistro, Dirty Dicks, Gidgets and cups and cones. Hatteras is about 30 minutes to the south, where the lighthouse is, as well as parasailing, wave running and fishing. We did go to corolla for a day trip to see the wild horses. Definitely worth the 1.5 hour drive north. We booked a tour and would not try this on your own. Lastly, as I said this was perfect for us, but the house does have a few areas that need attention. The master bath renovation has been completed, but is still lacking trim work. There is a lot of wall paper in the downstairs, no big deal to us. The decks need sealed. Lastly, there is a small charcoal grill. Would have loved a large propane grill. Overall, this would not prevent us from from renting again.

Great view of the dunes, fabulous ocean breezes. Outdoor spaces perfect to enjoy the sea. House appears partially renovated, main bedroom freshly painted/new rug, bathroom renovation incomplete. Kitchen well appointed, lots of prep space. All appliances in working order, ice maker works great. Seating options for hanging out in LR inadequate for number of beds. No Smart TV/streaming access. Hottub cover incredibly difficult to open/close without assistance, could likely use replacement. Would stay again, but only with no more than two couples. Hopeful that updates will continue, because outside is lovely!

This house was perfect for our family as we sought a respite from all things Covid. It was immaculate. We enjoyed everything the home had to offer especially the hot tub in November. Only drawback was the unfinished bathroom in the master. Needs baseboards and the toilet should be secured. Some of the window shades did not work and we missed some beautiful views. Will definitely book again!

The location of the house is wonderful, couldn't ask for a better view and access to beach. On arrival to the house, the owner was there along with a contractor installing a shower into the master bedroom. There was work debris everywhere. The owner was polite enough, offered to let us come in. I was very confused as to why there was major remodel going on right in the middle of the time that we paid for and way past check in time (6pm).The house was NOT ready for our arrival. So we left to get groceries, eat and do other things. When we returned it was still a mess, sheet rock dust in the bathroom and loose screws all over the deck. So I cleaned the house and we finally settled in. I will say the house needs alot of updates to the inside and repairs to the outside, but the kitchen is fully stocked, the location is unbeatable, the hot tub was clean and comfortable and overall the house was ok.

We would highly recommend this home. We absolutely loved our entire stay. The home was comfortable and very spacious for our group. Its ocean front (who doesn't want to wake up to a view of the beach?) and has SO many windows for ample amounts of beautiful views. This house come equipped with everything we needed plus way more than I had even expected, such as the beach equipment. The hot tub is the perfect way to end your day as the sun has gone down and you can enjoy your family and friends with the sounds of the waves. If you're considering this home I would highly suggest you go for it! Also, as always, I love love staying in Avon. Its small and quiet yet so convenient with the grocery store just minutes down the road from you. So if you want a quiet , family oriented, perfect week away at the Beautiful Outer Banks, book away!

Overall the stay was great. This is an older home and there was signs of some mold on the ceiling in the master bedroom. It could use an update of kitchen utensils and the pots and pans could be replaced. Other than these few glitches, we had a really great time on the banks and the house was doable and the seclusion was remarkable. Proximity to the beach was another bonus. Thanks to Hatteras and the homes owners for allowing to enjoy the this vacation.
