About this property

Sea's Calling - Soundside Home in Kinnakeet Shores - Walk to Beach and Pool

Great house located in the village of Avon, along the Outer Banks Scenic Byway. Avon is just south of one of the longest stretches of unspoiled National Seashore on the Outer Banks. We continue to make updates and improvements both inside and out. Our comfortable, clean home in family friendly Kinnakeet Shores is ready for your beach getaway!

Sea's Calling is just a quick, easy walk to the beach, and close to community amenities, shopping, and dining. We're just a short drive from the "Canadian Hole," an epic kite boarding and windsurfing spot. The famous Cape Hatteras lighthouse is minutes away. Renting from Saturday to Saturday weekly during June, July and August, and with a four night minimum during other months. Sea's Calling features dual zone AC and heat for your comfort. With beds for eight, three decks, lots of outdoor seating and two picnic tables for outdoor dining, our house is perfect for a relaxing family vacation.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the upper deck overlooking a view of Kinnakeet Shores and Hatteras Island. Spend your day at the large private community pool, playing tennis or pickle ball, surf fishing, or just "beaching it." Stroll for miles along uncrowded Atlantic Ocean beaches, collecting seashells and observing nature. Sit on the rear deck at sunset and enjoy the beautiful colors in the western sky. An outdoor hot water shower will provide a refreshing way to wash off the sand and salt as you end your day outdoors. In the evening, sit on the upper deck and be amazed by the stars above.

When you arrive at Sea's Calling you will enter the lower level which contains a washer and dryer for your laundry needs. The second level has two tiled baths and three tastefully decorated bedrooms. Fresh linens are provided for all beds and a basic bath towel set is provided for each guest. In the first bedroom you will find a double bed and two bunks. The second bedroom has a queen bed with a memory foam mattress and ceiling fan. The third bedroom, the master, has a king bed with memory foam mattress, an ensuite bathroom, a ceiling fan, and its own doorway to the lower deck. Here you can enjoy a shaded area and the porch swing to read, relax, or grab some quiet time. Each bedroom has a flat screen TV and DVD player with DirecTV satellite access.

The top level features an open concept with a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious deck. Off the kitchen is a large vaulted great room with living and dining space and a half bath. In addition to the breakfast bar seating for 3, a pub-height dining table seats 6 people. The living room features a 49 inch TV and Blu-Ray player for your entertainment. TV service includes 140 TV and music channels. In addition, there are movies, puzzles, cards, books, and family games for you to enjoy. Outdoors, there is a horseshoe pit, fish cleaning station, and a patio with grill, seating, and a picnic table. We offer free WiFi throughout the house.

For the kiddos, we have a Pack N Play, attachable booster seat with tray, highchair, and umbrella stroller. There is a safety gate at the upper deck steps and collapsible ones for indoor use. There is a deck box with beach toys, beach chairs, and a beach cart. You'll find a cooler and tennis equipment for your use. And if you visit during cooler months, our electric fireplace will provide comfort and atmosphere.

Last but definitely not least, relax in our private hot tub, located for all-weather use, and refresh yourself from the day’s activities. Whatever the time of day you will love it! And our service company will clean upon your departure!

A beautiful beach getaway

We absolutely loved Seas Calling! A very beautiful home minutes walk from the ocean. We have a big family with 5 kids from newborn all the way up to 14 and this home had something for everyone. It was very clean and had amenities for a full family with children. I would definitely stay here again!

Great location for OBX stay

We enjoyed our week in Avon. The beach is a quick walk and we took advantage of the location daily. Food Lion is a mere 2 minutes away – perfect if you forgot something at the store. The community pool is large, with plenty of room for several families, and ideal for kids. The house was nicely furnished, but the best part was the mattresses. Most vacation rental homes have cheap mattresses, but these are comfy. Make sure you look for the giant snapping turtle in the water when you cross the pond bridge on the way to the beach!

Great stay at Sea’s Calling in shoulder season

Stayed at Sea’s Calling in Kinnakeet shores for a week in late April. The home is easy to get to and centrally located. The owners really care about your stay and experience and are very responsive hosts. Ahead of arrival they provide a lot of information about the home and also nearby attractions. Each room has blinds to block out the very persistent sun for early mornings. There are outdoor decks on every level and also on opposing sides of the house which is great for the sun position changes and also for the wind. We found the outdoor deck access great for views and relaxing with a beverage or a snack. Hosing any outdoor gear from sand is so easy, as is using the outdoor hot shower. We didn’t walk to the beach, but saw that a little cart is provided to cart the outdoor chairs. The cart would allow for easily walking for groceries back to the house. Tennis equipment were provided and the house has many games and puzzles, movies, and a stereo. The kitchen is really well stocked with all the basics and a great dishwasher for easily doing dishes. The layout of the entrance floor (first) then the bedrooms floor (2nd) and then the living room and kitchen open concept floor (3rd) works really well. We enjoyed the decor touches with “sea’s calling” and other mantras to help unplug. The hot tub was great to unwind in. laundry was convenient. Bathrooms and bedrooms were fantastic. Sea’s Calling has everything needed like home, and was clean to boot. Thanks!

We had a great family getaway for Thanksgiving! The house was in great condition and have everything we needed for our stay! The location is convenient to several restaurants and grocery store/fish markets. The hot tub was a hit with the cooler temperatures in late November. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect for families

Perfect for our family with small children. My boys loved the puzzles, games, and beach toys. We appreciated the home having a high chair, baby gates, stroller etc so we did not have to pack all these items as well. We loved our stay in the "yellow house" as my three year old called it!

Perfect for families!

This was our first time visiting the OBX and we couldn't be happier with the location and amenities this property offered! Avon is much more laid-back than the Kill Devil Hill area, so it was quiet at night and very relaxing. The layout of the house made it feel much larger - I was nervous 4 adults and 4 kids would be all on top of each other, but we were very comfortable with so many sitting areas, inside and out. The beach was easy to access, and the pool was a great option when we wanted a break from the sand. The kitchen had every appliance and utensil we could have asked for, with an abundance of herbs/spices leftover from previous guests. The Food Lion is an easy 2 min drive away (and a Duck Donuts). We have an EV and happily discovered a good charging station 5 min away. All in all a fantastic stay and we can't wait to return!

Overall, very positive experience. Our family would utilize this rental again in the future. House is very clean and well maintained. During our stay we experienced a plumbing issue, which was resolved in a matter of hours. Great service and communication from the owners and property management! Walk to the beach was 5 minutes. Walk to the pool was about 10-15 minutes, but you can also drive.

About the host

Hosted by Gary and Mary Joyner

Host profile image
We have long held ties to the Outer Banks, and for years rented beach properties for our own OBX vacations. Having spent time in every OBX area, we feel a special affinity for Hatteras Island and the southern portion of the Outer Banks, as it remains much the same as it was when we first began visiting many years ago. We are both busy professionals and our time at the beach to decompress is treasured. Gary for years chased big game fish in his boats off the Outer Banks from the ports of Oregon Inlet and Hatteras. Now with Avon conveniently located, he loves to drive to the Hatteras docks at 4:00 and see what the fleet brought in, maybe following up with dinner while in Hatteras Village. Mary loves and enjoys the beach from sunup to sunset and we both enjoy being on the OBX all times of the year. Owning this home is the culmination of our dream for years to own a beach property. Enjoying the fresh seafood, shooting images of the natural beauty, enjoying every sunrise and sunset over the waters of the ocean and sound and sharing with friends and family all mean something special to us. Having this home in Avon to share with our guests allows us the opportunity to provide a comfortable and embracing place from which you can enjoy all the Outer Banks has to offer.
With our purchase in 2015, we began updating the home and have added several new pieces of outdoor furniture, a porch swing on the lower deck, a new grill, a new hot tub and deck, a fish cleaning station, a new heat pump for fall and winter getaways, a 49" flat screen TV in the living area, an electric fireplace for the cooler months, fresh paint, and many new decorative items. We completed a second phase of replacing windows, siding and exterior paint in 2019. We also replaced the rear deck. In 2018, we replaced the kitchen cabinets, counters, bar top, and flooring on the entire upper level and resurfaced the upper deck.

Why they chose this property

Great amenities such as the Community Pool/Tennis Courts, walking trails around neighborhood, easy beach access, and bike lanes through the village. The village of Avon is nestled within stretches of protected National Seashore, which helps preserve a special feeling of unspoiled beauty. Truly a three season location and close to the warming waters of the gulf stream offshore, Avon offers as much fun and comfort in the early spring and fall seasons as it does in the heart of summer. With proximity to the famous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, and easy travel to the villages of Buxton and Hatteras, there are lots of things to do and see. Kinnakeet Shores is a quiet cul de sac community and is very kid and family friendly, with no through streets. Easy walk to community amenities area. If you fish, surf, SUP, kite surf, windsurf, kayak, or simply soak up the sun at the beach, there is something nearby to keep you engaged in your favorite activity. Sea’s Calling offers a comfortable and relaxing place to call home while at the beach. The home is close to Food Lion for groceries and various restaurants for dine-in and take-out. It is an easy walk to the Avon Pier with all its activities and fishing.

What makes this property unique

EZ, safe walk to the beach. Close to groceries and amenities. Quiet, well-kept upscale community with pool and tennis included.
