Waterfront dog-friendly home on the Sound with private hot tub, pool & AC

New in our programme, this home has many great reviews from past guests.

For the 2025 season, a new ground-level back deck has been added to enjoy the scenic views and prepare for water activities.

Love the water? Then make this beautiful Island Creek Resort beach house your home-away-from-home. Located in a semi-private waterfront resort designed for active beach life, this waterfront home is the ideal place to spend a long and relaxing getaway with someone you love. Inside, the home enjoys two levels of comfort and convenience, with lots of natural light cascading in through broad, ocean-facing windows, comfortable furniture, and plenty of space for everyone to move around. The main level boasts an open concept that encompasses the living, dining, and kitchen areas, so you can keep up with conversation, no matter what you're up to. The full kitchen includes all the appliances and counter space the family chef could ask for, and the dining table has seating for six dinner guests. You'll love taking your afternoon meals outside on the wrap-around deck, and you can wrap up an evening soaking in the lower-level's private hot tub. Spend the day on a hot-weather hike then cool off with a swim in the shared pool before coming back to spread out in the living room to watch a good film or show on the living room's mounted flatscreen TV. Please note that the fireplace is not available for guest use.

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 jet ski. Acres of manicured sod keep Island Creek Resort looking and feeling good underfoot. 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 travellers even head to ICR for their winter holidays. For parents introducing their families to the world of watersports and experts looking to perfect their 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.

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.

It was beautiful- located right on the sound. Inside the house you felt as tho we were right on top.

Property was amazing. Sunsets were incredible. Kitchen was well appointed. Chairs on decks plentiful and very comfortable. Loved our stay

Great windsurfing spot

Has a great wind-protected storage room good for ~5-6 rigged sails up to 7 meter size and shelves for >8 boards. Larger sails will have to be kept in 'garage' that may get some wind. Our favorite windsurfing destination!

Great Location, average accomadations

Can't beat the location and the views. Love being right on the sound and having direct access to the water and great sunset views. The interior of the house is fine, nothing special. Everything is a little dated and could use to be updated.

October 2023 week

How was clean and ready by early afternoon. House was in good condition for a rental. Beds were much better than other houses we have used. The ramp into the water and riprap along bulkhead is not friendly to get windsurfing equipment in and out of water in high onshore winds.

Beautiful Views but house and cleaning service need work.

Had to wait until 6 to get into the property for what? Beds not made, house not very clean, had to go find our towels and the gall to put a tip envelope out. Not to mention the provided sheets were stained, comforters smelled bad and pillowcases did not fit the provided pillows. House needs some updating too. Carpeting is worn and stained, marginally equipped kitchen, tubs don’t drain and water pressure is awful. Now the nice part-the views are incredible and great location to launch your all of your water toys.

I Miss My Sunsets

This home exceeded my expectations in every way. When I booked the home I was not sure of the exact location or what to expect and I just went with it! Everything was perfect; from booking with Vacasa right up to the day we left and the app made it so easy. The Sunsets from our deck were spectacular.. they had us eating dinner every night at the house! Plenty of room for all 6 of us and the dogs! We very much appreciated the pet friendly accommodations and the dogs loved playing in the water. We had a blast on the paddle boards and kayaks, with the rental facility so close it was super convenient. The walk to the beach was swift and the beach was beautiful with clean sands and NO crowds. However, we Loved our evenings surrounded by the Pamlico Sound...and did I mention the Sunsets!! Can't say enough! Thank you Island Sun #1 for the treasured memories! See you next year!

Breathtaking Views

The house was dated but the breathtaking views made up for it. Minor repairs are needed…dishwasher did not work properly, ice maker did not work. The unit was not clean upon arrival. We were pleasantly surprised with the offer of a free early check in. All contact information left inside the home was for Hatteras Realty who apparently does not exist anymore and the numbers are disconnected, so had we need to reach someone to come for a major repair we would have been stuck. The breathtaking views and sunsets made up for the few complaints inside the home. Beautiful wrap around deck with hot tub overlooking the sound. Door code did not work at check in, but we used an unlocked back door our entire stay. Would definitely stay in this area again.

Great location, beat up house

First, the location is worth 5 stars. Right on the sound with a private beach to launch whatever water fun you are into. But the house is dumpy. We arrived and it was as if the place had not been cleaned. Used water bottle in one room, cigarettes on the windowsill, lotion bottle on the floor. Door is broken of the closet where the laundry is. Easy fix. Why wouldn't the real estate company take care of that? The pots and pans are awful. Gross comforters on the beds. Bathrooms that feel dirty. Place could be much nicer with just a small investment. Clearly this is just a cash cow.

Great place for windsurfing and Kiteboarding

Went there for a windsurfing/Kiteboarding trip. The access to the water is amazing. The water is shallow about 3 feet so great for learning for the kids. Could've been a bit windier. The place is not magnificent but its location is perfect. So I give it five stars. It just amazes me that these houses can exist here and don't get what the way by the hurricane. Inside was clean. Had everything we needed. We rented this house and the one next-door which was great for two families as well as my parents. The toaster was broken but they quickly replaced it including replacing grill items. Be sure to bring beach towels. A few more towels for the bathrooms would've been appreciated and I'm sure they would have delivered them if we asked. Really nothing negative to say. Some people may not think these houses are in tiptop shape but I'm just amazed that they still exist in this beautiful coastline.

Needs some updates

The house and site are lovely. But there were areas for improvement. The home was not cleaned when we arrived at 8:00 PM and the old sheets were still in a pile in the driveway the next day. The home needs some attention to detail, Not enough silverware, or regular size glasses. (about 20 wine glasses though), There needs to be an update with regard to dishes. Too many non matching patterns and too few of specific kinds. The dishwasher would clean, but not dry. The element must be burned out. This means your dishes come out cold and wet, but there's no dish towels to dry them. Several fixtures had burned out bulbs. Also, there needs to be more deck chairs on the top deck. There are only two Adirondack style and they are connected to each other. These two chairs and a picnic table, which is very heavy, are all that is on the top deck. Much of this, save the dishwasher and the deck chairs, could be corrected for less than $100.00. It may seem like little things, but for the Thousands of dollars spent, the owners need to keep up with the little things to rate a "5 Star experience". It was enough that I will look for another experience next year.

Beaucoup de meubles brisés et accessoires cuisine manquant et en quantité insuffisante. tapis a remplacé , ventilateurs des sale bain a remplacer .
