Donna was the best! Got in later than expected and she made me feel as welcome as could be...no worries and no stress...the place is beautiful and amazingly relaxing and peaceful...time was too short - hope to go back earlier next year and spend more time...love this place!!

My husband and I stayed a few nights at Donnas and loved every second there. We were nervous using airbnb for the first time but upon arriving Donna's hospitality and the charm of her beach house quickly won us over. Bedroom #2 was cozy, clean, and just as nice as any hotel. We particularly loved the high ceilings, it made the room feel airy and spacious. The common area & the kitchenette were just as nice and had everything we needed. Donna was a wonderful host and was able to answer any questions in a moment's notice. We also loved the view of the sound from the porch and their private pier. It was a perfect place to get away and relax. We are so grateful for a wonderful experience at Donna's.

My stay was great with Donna and Patrick. Donna sent specific directions and the house was exactly as shown in the photos. I kiteboard and there can't be a better spot for the sport. They were friendly but respectful of privacy. The pool is an added plus! I will be back!

Donna's home was a perfect stay. Everything stated in the description was spot on and she even provided us with a detailed orientation of everything from where to eat to what we can do while in obx. With the work she does I wouldn't be surprised if the home becomes even more beautiful than it is now!

Great Place. Great Host. Wow. We enjoyed the house with access to sound. It's huge. Our room and bath were spacious and very clean. We shared kitchen, living room and patio with 2 other guests. At the last evening we had a impressive nature light show for free on the patio. Donna and Patrick are great hosts providing us with local recommendations. They shared interesting specialities living on the Outerbanks.

You can't ask for a better host or house to stay at while in the outer banks. The location was amazing, right on the sound (withe access to the water) and a short walk to the beach. Donna made the arrival smooth and offered great advice on what to do for the weekend. Would highly recommend!

Great people, super good room. Very spacious and comfy, oh the view is grrrrreat! Thanks guys!

Donna left us keys and notes on the area. She was not home when we arrived but had made arrangements. I would recommend this .

This spacious and modern "open-concept" home with its chef's kitchen is perfect for gatherings of family and friends. There is also a lower-level sitting area and game room where guests can retreat to. The views from the grand windows were stunning. There is a nearby vendor where kayaks, paddle boards and bikes can be rented.

Great house, clean and modern with lots of space to enjoy with a group of friends. Great location if you like a relatively quiet place within walking distance from restaurants.

Avon and the outer Banks offer beach life without the crowd. A first for us. A clean and private apartment steps from the beach. Jenni offers prompt and courteous responses when contacted. No matter how small the issue. Thank-you Jenni

The stay was great in Avon Private and close to the beach, Jenny offers offers to help you with any questions within moments.

Nice little spot close to the shore. We enjoyed our first full family vaca on a whim here with our 3 year old and 1 month old. We were lucky that a few days opened up for us. Clean, intuitive, and quaint, Jenni has clear notes around the place to answer important random practical questions. Thanks for a simple, stress-free travel experience ^_^

Jenni was a great host - very welcoming and offered lots of local knowledge. The Mermaid Cottage is a great place to stay and unwind from the rigors of everyday life. The location is very central to the strip shops and lots of restaurants. A short 150 meter walk to the beach.

Jenni was super friendly and met us at the door when we rode in (we were on a 4-day bike tour of the Outer Banks). She had left us cold bottled water in the fridge, which was very considerate. We spent a comfortable night in a safe and quiet space, which was great after a long day's bike ride.

I love this place! Perfect for just me. I will be w return customer

We had a wonderful time! The apartment is so cozy and in an ideal location. We rode our bikes everywhere but the best part is you are steps away from the most beautiful beach. Jenni is so kind and available for anything you may need. We will definitely be back!

The place was private, quiet, clean and very close to the vast, gently sloping beach. Jenni was prompt in answering queries. The kitchen is well equipped to prepare meals. Avon is a nice area with grocery store, restaurants and a pharmacy with art supplies.

Had a great weekend staying at the surf museum. Mark was a great host and has an awesome place. I hope to stay there again the future.

Mark is a kind and welcoming host. Loved my stay at his clean yet homey place.

The Surf Museum is in a prime spot in the Outer Banks and is set up well for a beach-goer's weekend. The street is quiet and there are restaurants and pier all within walking distance. And for SUP folks, this is the perfect spot. We visited the weekend after Hurricane Matthew and Mark went all out to prepare the Surf Museum for us. Unfortunately the rest of the OBX were affected and not much was open to enjoy. Mark made sure to recommend places we could visit while we were there.

Mark was a great host! The house is charming and located in a great spot to enjoy both the beach and sound. Recommended for a truly zen experience.

This quiet secluded place is located in a woodsy setting in the upper floor of Mark's house. It is full of his art and this very much enhanced the visit. Mark is a true artist in every sense of the word and his Hatteras Surf Museum was a unique place to stay.

Mark was a very welcoming host, and told us a lot about local attractions and history. The space is the second floor of Mark's house, with much of Mark's art lining the walls. It's an ideal location -- the house itself is right on an inlet to Pimlico Sound, and it's a 5 minute walk to Avon Pier and the beach! The kitchen was missing some cooking utensils, but considering Mark just started renting this space out on AirBnB it's understandable. My boyfriend and I had a wonderful long weekend in Avon, which is much less touristy than Nag's Head. Well worth the extra hour of driving! Overall I'd highly recommend this space for a couple looking to get away for a long weekend.

The surf museum was the PERFECT location for our beach weekend getaway. Tucked off the main road, it was a 5 minute walk to the beach (just across the street), and in close proximity to a number of amazing restaurants and bars. Mark was a great host, who directed us to a good spot for live music Saturday night. There was coffee, tea, and ice cream in the kitchen for us when we arrived, and the apartment was clean with fresh sheets and towels for us. The perfect spot for 2 people looking for a relaxing weekend at the beach!

Mark was a fantastic host - he met us in the driveway, made us feel welcome, and provided some welcome local tips on beaches, live music, and restaurants available. SUMMARY: This place was awesome but Mark's third-party could be more responsive. SUSTAINS: The 'Surf Museum' is a great find - the pictures are 100% accurate. The place was clean. Based our GPS, the listing is exactly 0.25 miles from the beach access (across the street). It is a very very short walk but there is also free beach parking across the street if the walk is more than you want. Mark's place has spacious parking. Mark has an outdoor shower area complete with hot water - this is wonderful. Amenities are actually more than listed as the kitchen features a refrigerator, freezer, stove, microwave. It is lightly stocked with pots/pans, glasses, silverware, etc. Air conditioner worked well. Place is well-lit and very pleasant. At night from the deck you can see plenty of stars due to the low-levels of light pollution in the area. Overall very peaceful and serene. Cell reception was fine throughout the stay. Doorkey provided by Mark to deadbolt for rental. Sidewalks make it easy to walk to restaurants/shops in Avon. Within walking distance (less than 3/4 mi): surf shop, pizza place / Italian food, ice cream, seafood restaurant, coffee shop, etc. IMPROVES: Mark has a third-party manage his Airbnb account so contacting him prior to booking is challenging. I sent two emails to him via Airbnb and his third-party never responded (4 days & nothing). This was frustrating. However, once you book and get Mark's cell phone number, he does respond to calls and texts so communication is great once you've booked. If you have questions before however, good luck. Bottom Line: This place was awesome but Mark's third-party could be more responsive.

Birgitta greeted us when we arrived, showed us around, and provided us with our key. This was a great location for our vacation. Quiet, close to the beach, and we felt very safe. We would definitely recommend the location and return! The pictures are very accurate of the room and bath.

This is the perfect AirBnB in this area! The room has everything: Bright, clean, king bed, own bath, own access and a Jacuzzi! The hosts are great and very considering. The beach is just a few waking minutes away and they provide all the necessary gear for the beach. AND YOU CAN'T BEAT THE PRICE for what you get!

We had a great time at Birgitta's place. We got married an hour north with our family there, so my husband & I escaped to some privacy here! It was very clean & well stocked with towels, toiletries we may have forgotten, coffee, a giant mini fridge, and beach chairs, bikes, & yoga mats for us to use. This was our first Airbnb experience, but it won't be the last! Everything you see in the pictures, which looks nicer in person, is just for your private use, no shared spaces aside from the outdoor shower for after the beach. The hot tub was remarkably clean, as well as the room! Birgitta & her husband were both very friendly & everytime we ran into them (at the driveway & beach) they asked if there was anything we needed. I'm not sure if she has champagne ready for all of her guests, or if that was because she knew we were newlyweds, but that was awesome too! We would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some privacy, and a relaxing trip (although there were plenty of things to do around too if you're looking to be adventurous)!

Birgitta is lovely. She gave us excellent tips and directions before we arrived and was waiting for us when we pulled in. There was watermelon in the fridge and Birgitta and her husband, Jim, mentioned the meteorite shower that was happening that evening. My husband and I took the provided beach chairs out to the beach at midnight to watch the shower - gorgeous! The room was very clean with little amenities like shower gel, keurig coffee, and many towels. We could not have found a better place to experience the Outer Banks! We hope to return to Terrapin Flyer soon!

Our stay at Birgitta's was absolutely perfect! I highly recommend her place for anybody wanting to visit the Outer Banks. It's in an excellent location and the access to the private beach was amazing. The neighborhood was private but also close enough to any stores if you needed anything. Birgitta provided us with snacks and drinks, along with anything we needed in the room. She made us feel very welcome! The umbrella and beach chairs were a great added bonus because I don't actually own any of my own, so having those to borrow for visiting the beach was awesome. We always felt very safe as well. Birgitta even had bikes and boogie boards for us to borrow, and a convenient outdoor shower to wash off the sand when returning from the beach. The pictures and the listing are completely accurate! The jacuzzi tub and the hot tub are great amenities as well! I couldn't think of a way for this stay to have been any better. If you are looking for a laid-back place to stay with beach equipment, a short walk to a private beach, and a great location, this is the place! Thank you, Birgitta and Jim!!!

Birgitta and Jim were exceptional hosts right from the beginning. When you arrive you are greeted with complimentary waters and fresh watermelon in the fridge. You get a quick tour and then you are on your own to enjoy your stay. The room has its own set of steps and a porch that is great for coffee in the morning. The bed was enormous as was the bathroom with a walk in shower and jacuzzi tub. There is a mini fridge so you might want to bring an extra cooler if you plan on bringing food. Although they do provide a cooler and chairs for the beach. The bike they provide helps out a lot if you want to make a quick trip the stores which are pretty close by. If you are into working out, you can do that too. There is a weight rack and bar with bumper plates to use. It was an excellent experience overall and I enjoyed getting to meet Birgitta and Jim, will definitely look into making another trip.

The room is awesome, the bed is very cozy and the bathroom is amazing. Having your own private hot tub is an added bonus you can love. It is very close to the beach and you are given everything you need to enjoy it. This was our first stay at an Airbnb and we should have paid closer attention to the fact there was no kitchen in the room. This was our fault not anyone elses. Our hosts were always checking to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed!

We were looking for a private entrance with a hot tub in order to tour the Outer Banks. This place was perfect. It's almost like you have the entire house to yourself how it is set up. We enjoyed the hottub, and the Keirig coffee machine. Just a short walk to the beach and a couple places to eat. We would rent again!

Cute house with a side porch and front balcony. You can see the dunes from the living room and hear the ocean when you step outside. Chase was a really great host. Friendly, Good communication, and very accommodating. It takes two min to walk to the beach from the house. Would definitely stay again, it worked out well for our family of 4 (two kids ages 2 & 5).

Chase is a great host and was very accommodating during our stay. He gave us great advice for things to do in the area and even had paddle board for us to use. Easy check-in and great communication as well. The beach house is perfect too. Exactly what we wanted when looking for a beach get away. Literally a couple steps away from the beach an you can hear the ocean from the deck and feel the breeze. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a beach getaway.

Great location, near the beach! Chase was generous in lending us his bbq and in accommodating our extra guest.

Great place in an awesome location right off the beach. Chase was attentive and gave suggestions for the area.

Very simple place in a very nice part of the island, kid friendly with a beach access right infront of the house! We loved the place and we will be returning soon !

This was our first time at the Outer Banks and a first time using AirBnB. We were delightedly pleased with how wonderful everything was. Chase was a great host, recommending restaurants, sites and things for us to do. The place was clean, comfortable and centrally located. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises and exquisite sunsets. If you are looking to relax, enjoy the ocean and have great food this area is for you! We can't wait to come back!

The house and host both were great! Very clean, well maintained home. We sat in the hot tub at night and star gazed. The night sky from the deck was the most brilliant I've ever seen. Kitchen was fully stocked, beds were very comfortable, and the views were phenomenal! The host responds promptly and is very nice and helpful. I would highly recommend staying at Plumbroketoo and I'm already plotting my return. If I had any recommendations it would only be to have a guest book for future guest to share their stories.

Great house located less than 10 minutes from Cape Hatteras lighthouse, which you can see from the house! Very clean, a well stocked kitchen with pots and pans for those who want to cook, a huge couch to sprawl out on and a large flat screen TV as well. The loft area is perfect for reading or a quiet space to relax. We love the balcony views of the Sound, especially while sitting in the hot tub on the main balcony. There is a gas station with a quick mart right at the end of the street and the Food Lion grocery store is only a few minutes away. William is a gracious and very friendly host with great restaurant suggestions (Bros Sandwich Shack)! We will definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much for being a great host. We really loved our stay and wish we could have been there for longer. The house was very comfortable and had everything you could need. Watching sunset on the dock was just fantastic and maybe someday we will understand why the fish jump!! Great things and places to see close by- a visit to Okacroke is a must! Hoping to come back again in the future!

A dream come true for the water-sportsman or the lazy deck lounger. I had a great time sippin brews out on the deck with all the views, and when I got bored with that, I took advantage of the houses close proximity to public water access for padding. Pretty much the ideal set up when it comes to Airbnb; the price was right and the house was great. Willy was a good host! Super nice dude. Very helpful and kind, and was readily available by phone with questions at a good response rate. Anyone looking for that ideal OBX getaway at the right price within close proximity to public water access and restaurants / shops / groceries, this is your spot.

Loved the place. Hot tub wad great. Really good atmoaphere. Beach access down the road. Perfect location.

TO WILLIAM: THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR HOME WITH US. YOU ARE A GREAT HOST WITH A GREAT HOUSE FOR COMFORT AND VACATIONING.

Great house with close access to beach and sound. Owner was very accommodating and helpful. House had a great layout and was neat and comfortable. Definitely want to go back again.

Enjoyed everything about William's place. Best thing maybe the value. Very nice accommodations, super clean. Enjoyed the quiet and views very much. Our host, William, good with all communication-prompt respone time. Would stay here if returning to Avon in future.
