This was our 11th different waterfront stay in three years, and although we thoroughly enjoyed them all, this may be the first house we repeat because it was absolutely excellent--you also cannot beat the off season pricing. A view from EVERY room, the best communication with the owner, and everything you could need at the house. The only issue we had in early March was restaurants being closed as well as local fishing piers, but Avon is close and we ate there after exploring the Hatteras lighthouse (lighthouse is closed for restoration for several more years, but the gift shop and museum are opened). The beach at the lighthouse is nice, but visit Frisco beach for shells and real bathrooms. A lovely stay in a gorgeous house on the Pamlico Sound and minutes from the ocean, it doesn't get any better!
