Cottage vacation rentals in Avon

Another fantastic Spring Break at the Best Box! The nicest, cleanest, most relaxing rental we’ve ever found. Didn’t think the property could be any better than it was last year, but the owners have managed to make many creative and thoughtful upgrades. Enjoyed days at the beach, days on the sound, chartered a boat for fishing, ate tons of seafood, and saw the best sunsets right from the deck. Literally took advantage of everything in this house - from crabbing to fishing to baggo to flying kites to playing board games to darts and foosball. Oh and kayaking, relaxing in the hammock, and tubing, too.

We had an amazing time perfect place for pets and some relaxing!

Nice outdoor showers, hot tub, clean house, and had a great view. Awesome downstairs additional hang out spot.

Dare Dream was just as pictured on the photos. The kitchen was amazing and incredibly well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. The proximity to the beach was perfect for us and just what we were looking for.

We absolutely enjoyed Whitely and Sean’s place at the beach. The location is absolutely convenient to everything and the space was perfect. The view from the top deck for a sunrise is incredible. The house has everything we needed and a little extra to make it incredible comfy.

A Superb Cottage in the Heart of Ocracoke. We just spent 10 nights in Grey Pearl and loved it! The cottage was very comfortable for just my wife and me, but would easily accomodate up to 6 people (with the sofa bed) with 2 comfortable bedrooms, one roomy modern bath, a large living, dining and kitchen area and a spacious rear screened-in porch. The cottage has all the amenities you may need, including wi-fi, washer/dryer, A/C, and a fully equipped kitchen wi. It has a fabulous outdoor shower, and the perfect rear porch for reading, enjoying morning coffee and evening cocktails. It’s conveniently located in a very quiet neighborhood on a back road, about a 10 minute walk from Ocracoke Coffee, the Flying Melon restaurant, the Back Porch, Dajio, and other eating places and shops. Zillies is just around the corner. Jennifer is a wonderful, helpful host, communicating and answering any questions we had. We will be back. We highly recommend Grey Pearl !

Great host and great location by the beach. 4 houses from the beach and no roads to worry about.

We had a very pleasant stay at Amy’s home nestled in a very quiet and serene sound side neighborhood. We found Just Enough to be more than enough for 2 and a dog! Loved the screened porch and spent almost every evening out there just relaxing and watching the storms on rain days. We were a very short drive to some really great restaurants- loved the sandwiches from Pamlico Deli and steamed shrimp from Tavern 12! Great nearby coffee shops, gift shops, and bakeries (get an Apple Ugly from Orange Blossom!). The jeep rental spot is one road over so that was convenient for our beach off-roading day. For one first time visitor (2 if you count the dog), and one returning to OBX after many years, we couldn’t have been happier with our choice to stay down in Frisco at Just Enough. Highly recommend this rental and we would absolutely return on a future visit to the Outer Banks. Thank you for everything!

We had a great birthday weekend at the Evening Star! We enjoyed taking the paddle boat out on the canal with our dog for the first time- it was an unforgettable experience. It was great to be able to relax in the chairs on the dock in the mornings. The location was great and we enjoyed the short walk to the Dairy Queen and to the beach access. Gisa was a great host and provided a plethora of helpful information and suggestions for our stay! She was also very responsive to our requests for flexible check-in and check-out times. We are very much looking forward to staying at the Evening Star again soon!

The house is nice and we were very comfortable. Plenty of space for two families with kids and pets. The pool is big and the deck is nice with several spots to sit and relax. The beach is huge in this part of North Avon and is rare these days in the outer banks. Highly recommend and would stay here again. No issues

We had a great stay at Out of the Blue. Margot was so responsive and helpful. Perfect location to get to/from beach easily and close to grocery, restaurants. Comfortable home. Would definitely return!

Mary Ellen and Jim’s place was absolutely perfect for our stay on the island. It was quaint, clean, and overall lovely. The outdoor shower was amazing and exactly what you need after a long day at the beach. On top of that the AC is top notch, even on the hottest day we knew we could come back to a cool space to relax and unwind. The location is central to all the great spots on the island, just a short golf cart ride! Mary Ellen and Jim were very accommodating in providing us with everything we needed from golf cart chargers to bikes and ocean kayaks. Also, the handwritten note welcoming us to the space and to the island was a really nice touch, making us feel right at home . We will definitely be coming back for another stay.

Christine was very responsive any time we had a question, and the place was gorgeous! Perfect views of the sunrise!

Lovely home. Very comfortable beds. Plenty of space. Loved our stay there. Highly recommend.

Morgan's house is tastefully furnished and full of light. The kitchen is well equipped, beds comfortable, and everything very clean. The beach is very close and was absolutely glorious because we went out of season and although it was sunny and warm there were few people about - only a few locals fishing. The children appreciated all the equipment for building sandcastles. We found some good restaurants open.

Great location on canal and near town shops/restaurants. Multiple kayaks/life jackets for use. Home is well-maintained and offers plenty of sleeping options.

My friends and I stayed in Cheryl’s home for a post graduation trip. We loved our time in Salvo and the house offered everything we could need and more. Cheryl is very responsive and her property manager Donna was there if we needed anything. The house comfortably fit 9 people and the kitchen was well supplied with dishes. The beach was a short walk away and the town of Salvo is quiet and cute. I would recommend Cheryl’s house if you’re looking for a quiet get away.

We enjoyed our stay! Everything was great from location, cleanliness and ease of checking in and out. Dylan was a great host and we will return!

The Blue Mere was a wonderful place to hang for the weekend with family. Well-appointed and comfortable. Plenty of space for the 6 adults and 3 children in our crew. The walk to the ocean was easy although the dune crossing is exercise if you're bringing a lot of weight in your wagon or cooler. Meredith is a wonderful host. She is responsive and easy to communicate with. All in all, a 5-star experience. We would come again.

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary. Host was very flexible and allowed us to make last minute changes to our accommodations.

John and Elizabeth's place is beautiful, clean, and in a great location. They have been very accommodating of our request to check in early, and the place is stocked up with everything one might need during their vacation. We definitely recommend this place to others and cannot wait to go back.
