Located at Avon's secret South end (on Park Drive), gorgeous MAESTRALE has unrestricted views of Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Pamlico Sound and the Atlantic. Positioned one house away from the Sound on a cul-de-sac, this very quiet SEMI-SOUNDFRONT location is actually closer to the water than some soundfront houses on the Island. It's just a 6 minute walk to the ocean and a 1 minute walk on a sand/boardwalk path to the shallow, warm waters of the Pamlico Sound where you will find a private-access, secluded shallow-water beach on where kids can wade & find hermit crabs. This is a premier destination for wind sports enthusiasts & is an ideal windsurfing/kiteboarding launch area. You can leave your gear on the beach when you go to the house for lunch or refreshments. The ocean is just a quick 6 minute walk down the street & over the dunes on the community maintained boardwalk.
The ground level has ample concrete parking, basketball hoop, outside shower, carport, under-house entry, partial boardwalk and lockable storage area (concrete floor) that will accommodate boards and rigged sails. The 1st floor has an inviting "getaway" sitting room. The first master suite has a full bath with bidet. The second bedroom is bunk equipped and the third is twin equipped. The second bath opens to hallway. MAESTRALE'S large second level great room with tall cathedral ceilings has perfect southern exposure, lots of glass, and "postcard" views of Hatteras Island's quiet side. The well-equipped kitchen with breakfast bar and wide dining area is a hit. A 2nd master suite with semi-private bath with bidet is the perfect place to close every vacation day. Wide south sun decks squeeze every drop of sun to warm winter weary guests. New carpeting throughout the house added in 2008 and a new 6-person, deep hot-tub for 2009.

Yes, we had shorts and t-shirts on in December! I actualy have a tan for Christmas :D The house was very well equipped - especially the kitchen. It was super clean and just a dream vacation for us. Super views, the lighthouse actually lights up the windows in the evenings. I completely recommend this home. Thanks again for a fantastic trip - we love Avon and we will be back.

Maestrale is a fabulous house situated right on the Pamlico Sound. Great sunsets, close proximity to the beach too. Very clean,well kept house with a sweet hot tub sitting on the deck where you can view the sound while taking a rest in the tub. Would certainly bring the family back to this house.

Glen~~We can never thank you enough, your beautiful home, was (is) simply stunning, perfect location and the process from booking to departure was as easy as it could get... The "Sound Sunsets" are almost as good as those here on Lake Erie. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to spend our yearly vacation... Hope to return soon... Mike Kabasinski, Erie, Pa.

Maestrale Review

We had an excellent vacation at the Maestrale. If you are looking for quiet-this is the place. If you love waking up in the morning and listening to the birds-this is the place. The back decks overlook trees, shrubs, the sound, and lots of nature. Besides seeing a variety of birds, we watched deer every morning. It was a short walk to the beach. Pamlico Sound was an amazing place for the kids to look for crabs and go kayaking. The house was clean and we had more than enough space for everyone to do their thing. Glen was very attentive to our needs. I would recommend this vacation home to any family. Oh, did I mention the BEAUTIFUL sunset over the sound!

Our family loves the Avon area and the Maestrale was the perfect place to stay. The location is great. A two minute walk to the Sound and a 2 minute drive to the Ocean/beach access. The ocean access allowed us to drive on to the beach which was perfect! The house itself was very clean, spacious and relaxing. The hot tub was a big hit. Nothing better than enjoying the breeze from the Sound and the view of the lighthouse while relaxing in the hot tub. There is a great view of the area from all windows on the main floor. I highly recommend the Maestrale!

On our first night in Maestrale we heard Chuck-Will’s-Widow (http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Chuck-wills-widow/lifehistory) from the balcony around sunset. We left the sliding door open in our bedroom and heard Chuck all night. We heard him every night during our week stay, and some mornings. The house is really big, clean, and well equipped for cooking. Everything is sized for 10 to 12 people. There are great views of the Ocean Dunes and Kite Surfers on the Sound from the balcony. Once we had a Great Creasted Flycatcher land on the balcony rail and sit for several minutes as we ate Lunch inside. The second night at Maestrale we walked down to the Sound behind the house where we saw a Spotted Sandpiper in brilliant breeding spots. We took the all day pelagic tour from Cape Hatteras. We saw lots of Wilson’s Storm Petrels up close and one White tailed Tropicbird came close to the boat. We were luck enough to see several Band-rumped Storm-Petrels. There were lots of Black-capped Petrels, and some Audubon's Shearwaters and Cory's Shearwaters – they always stayed away from the boat. We also saw one Pomarine Jaeger and Bridled Tern. I’m glad we went but the 12 hr trip was too long for the amount of birds we saw – It would have been a great 6 Hr trip. Plus – sitting on a steel bench gets old pretty quick! There were great picture opportunities at the ocean beach near the house for shore birds, gulls and terns. We saw Semipalmated Sandpipers & Plovers, Dunlins, Sanderling, Black-bellied Plovers, and Ruddy Turnstones in breeding colors. Least Terns nest in the sand dunes. Piping Plovers nest around Cape Point near the house, but we didn’t see any (they mostly stay in a protected area). There are lots of arts and craft shops in the area. Our favorites were the Pea Island Art Gallery in Rodanthe, Red Drum Pottery in Frisco, the Bead/Coffee/Art Shop in Buxton (close to 35°16'5.03"N 75°32'30.49"W). Be sure to get some Gosling's Rum & Ginger Beer at the Dare County ABC Store in Buxton so you can make the Dark and Stormy drink (We actually liked it better made with the more gingery Cock and Bull Ginger Beer which we purchased at the Spice and Wine shop). Coming or going the Basnight's Lone Cedar Café (35°54'2.44"N, 75°36'39.27"W) near Manteo has the best She Crab soup and crab cakes around. They also have a pair of Ospreys nesting in a tree about 30 feet from the large dining room window.

Glenn's house is wonderful. The pictures of the house on the inside and the views don't do it justice. October was a perfect time to go. No crowds, still got plenty of sun, clear nights so you can see the stars from the upper deck. You can walk to the ocean but we drove to the sailboard drop off parking lot about 2 miles south and would cross the road to the ocean there. Two days we were the only people on the beach for a mile in either direction. We loved to watch the sailboarders and kiteboards from the deck. It seems the sound beach by the house is the perfect place to go for these guys. The sunsets and sunrises were spectacular to watch from the decks especially with a glass of wine (smile). Mosquitoes were extra bad because of the recent Hurricane rain and warm weather but most days we had a great breeze. Just remember your Cutter !!!! It's stronger then Off. All in all we can't wait to go back. This time we would like to take the kids and there spouses. It was great to work directly with the owner. He was very attentive to our needs. And only a phone call away should there have been a problem. Thank you Glenn for sharing your beautiful home. We could not have asked for a more peaceful week.

Very nice. comfortably furnished house with convenient access to a beach which is great for windsurfing, kayaking and kitesurfing. The house has great decks with open views to the south to Canadian Hole and the Cape Hatteras lighthouse. The owner is very pleasant to deal with and communicates promptly and freely.

I would highly recommend this property. Great location, close to a number of attractions and sites while also in a quiet neighborhood with lovely views. House is beautifully maintained and well stocked with dishes and cookware. From the deck we could see the sound, ocean and the lighthouse on the horizon. We had no problems while visiting but the owner made it clear that we should contact him immediately if any arose (and I believe he would have helped find solutions as quickly as possible). Owner also provided a good list of information and activities. My family and I had a wonderful week.

This was our first trip to the OBX. It was a big hit! The house is beautiful, clean, has plenty of room for a large family. The location was excellent. We loved the views from the decks. There was so much to do in the area. The sound provided plenty of entertainment. Kayaking, fishing, chasing and catching crabs. The beach was really nice too. Not the least bit crowded.. We went horseback riding, para sailing, we rented wave runners, too. So much fun! There was plenty of time for the hot tub and just kicking back on the decks also. My husband said it was the most relaxing vacation he has had in years. Glen let us know he was available if we needed him. We would definitely recommend this property.
