On a prime lot, only one row back from the sound front and directly bordering the undeveloped National Seashore property, Shoot the Breeze commands superior sound, lighthouse, and ocean views. A short walk to the sound-side beach provides access to a highly-coveted kiteboarding and windsurfing launch. On the first living level, you will find four comfy bedrooms; three have deck access, including the primary room with a private bath.

Up the stairs is a huge, open great room with high ceilings, lots of light, deck access, and breathtaking views. The living area has three separate sitting areas and access to the sprawling south-facing sundeck. The nearby kitchen is well-equipped and features a breakfast bar for four. Serving meals is a delight in the adjacent dining area, or you can step out onto the screened porch to dine alfresco. A beautiful winding staircase leads to a comfortable, open loft area with superb views of the sound, marsh, and surrounding area.

The home has a Clipper Creek 32 Amp Level 2 Charger 7.7 kW electric car charger.

Loved everything about this house. Quiet area and so close to the sound and ocean beach. The furnishing on the main floor of the house are top notch. Lots of leather and heavy wood. Overall a fantastic place to spend the week.

Perfect

Not only is this house as described, its location to both the sound and the beach is perfect. We made use of both. At the house we were relaxed and comfortable as we enjoyed all the panoramic views. We had a great stay and look forward to our next trip at Shoot the Breeze!

Lovely, well appointed house

This house is a gem! The house itself is lovely, the furniture is really nice, the setting and views are awesome. We loved the little sound side beach, and it’s also an easy walk to the “real” beach. Overall, an amazing spot and we wouldn’t change a thing!

Amazing house with great views of the sound and ocean. Well stocked kitchen and beautiful art throughout. So much more than a beach house.

Late Fall Stay at Shoot the Breeze

This was a nice vacation at a beautiful well maintained Sound-front home. The sunset views were breathtaking and if we were Kite-surfers or Kayakers the short path to the private beach would be awesome. The house is close to Ramp 38 and closer to the carwash at the BP for the beach drivers, and maybe 10 minutes to the Point for the fishing folks. We had a great time, and would stay here again.

Beautiful Views

This was our second stay at Shoot the Breeze in Avon. We love its location on the National Seashore, close walk to the beach, and path to a sound-side beach. The house's main floor is spectacular, with quality furniture, large open spaces, smaller sitting areas, and a reading loft complete with many books. Our family hosted two other families for Thanksgiving and had plenty of room for dining, food, and gathering. We hope to visit this house again soon. Vacasa was quick to answer questions, the house was sparkly clean on arrival, and essential items were provided.

Perfect house for wind lovers

Location location location. This house is well situated. Everyone get what the OBX offer the best. Secret access to a small bayside beach, walkable distance from the ocean beach and close to the grocery and the community pool if you have enough of the beach. Very nice open concept and everything was in the house. Kitchen is very well equipped if you like to cook. Bed were comfortable and clean. Will definitely rent again.

Most beautiful home we have ever stayed in!

THis was our first time in OBX. I did a lot of research of what area to stay in, and my sister had been to Avon a couple of years ago and recommended it. I did a lot more research about what home we would rent. RIght away, the pictures of the bright 2-story great room drew me in! Add to it that it was pet-friendly, and located on the sound with convenient access to the Atlantic and it checked our boxes! When we walked in upon arrival we all gasped and ooh'd and ahh'd (including our 13 and 17 year olds!) The house was immaculate and incredibly well appointed and so beautifully furnished and updated! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Wonderful house and the VIEWS!

We loved everything about this house and the location. Honestly, can't mention a single thing that was missing our didn't meet our expectations. The views are as beautiful as shown in the pictures and you can even see a sliver of the ocean from one of the ORV access points at the end of the road. The sandy sound-side beach was lovely if you wanted a break from the surf and perfect if you have little ones with you. We loved the layout of the house with the different seating areas, but all together in one large space. The furnishing were all updated and beautifully appointed. Lots of nice local art and accessories set the tone and made for relaxing evenings after a day fishing and swimming in the ocean. Kitchen was very well equipped and even had sharp knives! The AC worked really well and kept the house comfortable at all times. There are two outdoor showers, along with 2 very useful hoses for cleaning up after the beach. Bedrooms are nicely done up and comfortable. There is some beach gear, including 4 beach chairs and a nice library of books, puzzles and games. We will certainly be coming back to this house for future beach weeks. Thanks for sharing your home with me and my family.

New favorite spot in the OBX

We were supposed to be on a fall break trip with the kids (9 and 5) in the NC mountains. But when Hurricane Helene forced a change of plans, we ended up booking this place at the last minute and made it a beach week instead. Avon is further south than more touristy side of the OBX, and we definitely felt remote. But that was part of the appeal. The house is ideally situated adjacent to Hatteras National Seashore property, with a south-facing view overlooking natural beauty and encompassing the sound and a little bit of the ocean. It's a view we never tired of, especially watching the kite-surfers in the sound. (We didn't realize this spot is legendary for kite surfing, and it was delightful to watch them from the porch.) The house itself is charming, well designed, and clearly beloved by many repeat visitors and families, judging by the guest book entries stretching back to the 1990s. This is not your typical rental, but a special place. We appreciated the artistic tastes of the owners, the tasteful and comfortable furniture, and the upstairs reading nook with its own spectacular views, which our kids took over as an ideal spot to read, draw, and play. There's a soggy path to a small beach on the sound, and the real beach is an easy 10-minute walk in the opposite direction. Our only complaint was the noise of a new house under construction across the road, which started around 8 AM. Nothing the owners can do about that, but just something to know if you're looking for quiet.

Best bang for your buck

The house should be listed higher to be honest. The upstairs level is massive and there was plenty of space for 6 people with no cramped vibes. There’s a private trail to the sound and you are within walking distance to the ocean ramp as well (it’s at the end of the road). Also, a short distance to the Cape Hatteras lighthouse. We were genuinely surprised at how awesome Shoot the Breeze is. Quick note, all appliances and furniture were up to date! 10/10

Great house, in a quiet canal. Owners live next door, if you have any questions. They have provided all the extras that you may need on vacation. We loved having the crab pots, bikes and rafts for the canal. The steer is a must stay!!!! Our family will be back.
