Great location. House is showing it's age and needs a few improvements and a thorough cleaning but it was fine for a week of fishing at the OBX.

The house was beautiful with everything we needed. The only negative was we had to sleep on the couches as the mattresses in every bedroom are rock hard!

It was fine.

We loved the fact that it was very easy to kayak from the house. And then the ocean/beach was only a 2 block walk if we wanted some of that action.

Disappointed...

Good location for us, but house amenities were lacking. Toilets backed up in 2 bathrooms. For what this place costs, we expected better.

Nice house/ not ideal for Boat

The house was nice. However, I was hoping to be able to use the dock for my boat. The water is roughly mid -thigh deep. Also, the picture shows a ramp right beside of the house and that is no longer the case. There were other options but they were not ideal either. Also, there is a separate charge for the dogs.

Issues with rental company

Refrigerator stopped working 1st day we were there. Someone dropped off a small (dorm size) refrigerator that would old even a 3rd of the food we bought. Never got it working during the whole week. Lost around $159 of food. Rental company also just randomly changed the door code so some people were lock out for hours.

Fins Up June

Fins Up is a well appointed and cared for house. Spent many evenings at the very large dining table enjoying each other’s company. Great access to the water and the sound. This house is situated in the best part of Avon if you enjoy paddle boarding and kayaking. The deck is great.

Lovely Cottage

Fins Up is a charming cottage that sits right on the canal front. It was very clean, and well-maintained. The windows are large, providing beautiful, panoramic views. The kitchen was stocked with everything one might possibly need...and the cooking implements were of high quality. But the real star of the property is the view. It was cloudy and windy for the first four days of our visit, but when the sun was finally out, we were treated to the most beautiful sunsets, both from the deck, and in the aptly-named "Sunset Lounge" room on the second floor. We highly recommend FIns Up.

Fins Up

The house was very well laid out and having no carpet was nice. Being right on the canal allowed for my son to put his kayak in rather easily.
