A great place to head back to after a fun day at the beach! The crows nest is roomy and offers a nice view. The screened porch was perfect for our morning coffee hour. The only hang-up is the two back burners on the stove do not seem to work, so plan on easy meals or eating out at the many restaurants in Avon!

Home is conveniently located in Avon. Kitchen was nice with everything we needed for the week. It was also nice to have some starter supplies (toilet paper, soap, etc.) already in the bathrooms when we got to the house. The furniture is nice, but I would just note that you'll probably be uncomfortable if you prefer to sit on something more plush. Laundry setup is good. Biggest reason for a 4-star rating rather than 5-stars is that one of the bunk beds had a broken ladder which could have been dangerous had we not noticed before any of the kids tried to climb up. To Vacasa's credit, we contacted them about this and they would have sent someone out while we were there to address the issue had we needed them to (we didn't, as we only needed to use 3 of the 4 bunks). There was also a nail sticking out of one of the feet on the dining room table which one of us scraped our foot on. Lastly, I would say it oversells the crow's nest a little bit to boast about the ocean views. The crow's nest is a nice place to go up and look up at the stars at night and hear the ocean off in the distance, or maybe to read a book. But there isn't much ocean to see from there, just a greatly limited view of what you can see of it between houses.
I'm not meaning to focus more on negatives than positives, though. Overall we really enjoyed the house, and assuming that the couple of small maintenance things are addressed we would consider staying in it again if we returned to Avon on a future vacation.

Our stay did not start good. The code to the home did not work. Then once in the microwave was dirty. The cog foot was not clean. The floor was not swept or mopped. The shower curtain was filthy. The carpets had not been vacuumed. The shower head outside was rusted. The bedspread smelled of cigarette smoking.
We called and everything was fixed the next day.

The house is close to the beach aaccess. It is older, so if you're looking for updates this isn't the place for you. It met our needs just fine.

Other than the weather, our trip was enjoyable. The Drift Inn is quaint and cozy. Enjoyed a good read on the screened deck while it rained was relaxing and comfortable. The only real issue is that the home is surrounded by overgrown trees (hard to get that Ocean View) and covered... I mean COVERED, in Poison Ivy. Also, the "fish cleaning" area could be tidied up.... the last people who stayed there, put their fish mess in the trash can but never took it to the road to be picked up so we smelled dead fish until we realized where it came from. Other than that, very accomodating.

It was a place to sleep with a convenient location. Property at the very least needs a once-over in repairs, but really needs a full remodel since it's 1970's build:
-back right burner not working
-oven light not working
-light bulb missing from middle bedroom lamp
-light bulb out in right bedroom ceiling fixture
-couch is so old that the cushions are a moot-point, may as well just sit on the wood frame
-bunk bed ladder is not firmly attached (really should have a rail along bed as well)
-double-door door knob needs adjusting
-floors are incredibly uneven; replace sub-floor
-outlet by couch crackles and sparks when a plug is inserted
-many outlets are so worn that plugs fall out of them; electrical wiring should be checked by a professional
-right bathroom plumbing was leaking under the house
-new carpet or just do LVP (the carpet is old and just feels gross)
I'm kicking myself for not booking the other property I'd been looking at, but it was gone in a day so I was left with this. If we come back to the OBX, I would not rent this house again.

This cottage is similar to the one we owned for many years so, although older, it was comfortable for us. Loved the screened porch.

Primetime was an amazing property. We were a little hesitant on booking a home without a private pool, but with the community pool close by and the fact that we stayed Oceanfront, it was well worth not having the swimming pool. There was no issues at all. It was a nice and relaxing vacation not having to worry about small, silly things. The views were stunning. Thank you Outer Beaches Realty! We will definitely see you next year! Would like to re-book this home, but I believe we will need a bigger one next year.

We love staying at Breakers Watch. The home is beautiful and spacious. We had so much fun in the huge pool during the day and relaxing on the decks at night. It is only a short walk to the beach. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Bay Watch is the most spectacular home we stayed in on Kings Point in Frisco. The home is in a perfect location for windsurfing, paddle boarding and kayaking. The kitchen is well equipped and having a working barbecue is a bonus for cooking fresh fish and other food purchased locally. E have entertained in the home and the dining room is perfectly located with a great view of the bay to watch the sunsets. The home is pet friendly which was a must for us. We met many of the locals and will miss them but have forged friendships so I am sure we will see them again! We can`t thank Jim & Cathy, the home owners, enough for sharing their home with our family over the past 10 years.
