Ooh La La! Your private pool awaits! Ocean-Side in Kinnakeet!

About Jennifer Gaskins

We are a family of five and live in Avon. We love visitors to our island and want to share the Hatteras Island lifestyle with you. In our opinion, Avon (historically named Kinnakeet) is the best village on Hatteras Island! Stay a week, or two! Ooh La La! The Mrs. worked for a local rental company for five years before having the kids, so we are familiar with your needs and ready to answer all your tourism related questions. The Mr. was raised here in Kinnakeet, and has worked in rental homes his whole life (it seems like)! Actually, he owns and operates Hatteras Island Air (HVAC) and loves doing it. He has done all the renovating at Ooh La La while the Mrs. takes care of two active kids and teen, and Ooh La La! Both the house and kids are sources of great pride! We love pets, but Ooh La La is a no pets house. It's nice to have a break from taking care of the pets, too.

Why Jennifer Gaskins chose Avon

When we bought this gorgeous 4 bedroom home it needed some love, and we are excited to have you stay and see all the improvements we made! Ooh La La was bare when we bought it in December 2014. We have thoroughly enjoyed renovating and furnishing it. Brand new furniture! Brand new kitchen floor, cabinets, and counter tops! As a work in progress, we will add little (or big) touches to it throughout the years. Give us your feedback! We plan to own and enjoy Oh La La for a long time! Should you have any questions, we are here to help. If there is a maintenance issue, we are close by to handle it. In fact, the Mr. is quite handy and owns and operates a local heating and cooling company, Hatteras Island Air. Any heating and cooling issues, we've got you covered!

What makes this House unique

The walk to the beach is short-- our five year old can do it! You will be the fourth house back. The beach access is part stairs with boardwalk, and part sand path. The dune is not super tall. Also, Avon has beach driving access (permit required), as well as many other drive-on ramps on the island. If you've never been to South Beach in Frisco, you should try it. The drive is a short twenty minutes, turn left on Billy Mitchell. Hatteras Island is a special place, and beach driving is one of the things that makes your experience unique. (Four wheel drive and permit required.) Build a little beach fire and enjoy! A little windy for the beach? You've got your own pool at Ooh La La! Hang out! Don't even leave the house! Bring your bicycles. You will be in a great area for bike riding. Ride around Beachcomber Drive, or take Avon's sidewalk and go to the village and check out Kinnakeet Clay. Kite boarding? Kite Point is just four miles south! Wind surfing? Canadian Hole is the same distance. Surfing? Take your pick along the coast. You can get to the S-turns in Rodanthe in twenty minutes. Buxton in ten minutes. Avon Harbor is about a mile away to launch a boat or kayak. We love walking up the stairs to the top floor of Ooh La La and the first thing you see is the ocean view! Ooh La La! You will love it too! Watching the sunset from the top deck is awesome. Watching the sunrise from your breakfast table is awe inspiring!
