About the host

Hosted by Tony Dollins

Host profile image
Lifetime OBX'rs! My wife Jamie is an avid sheller and if left to her own devices would meander on the beach in search of that ever elusive perfect conch until well after the sun sets. I enjoy relaxing on the beach by day and staring up at the clear starry sky at night. Our son Quinton mostly enjoys spending his time knocking down anything I build in the sand and talking about dinosaurs.

Why they chose this property

Owning a piece of the outer banks has been a dream for Jamie and I. While we have spent most of our summers in Buxton, the frequent flooding in that area deterred us from purchasing property there. Our new house Diamond Shells in Avon is perfectly situated on an elevated plot of land in a private area of the beach with plenty of dunes on the ocean side to protect the home from the mighty Atlantic surf.

What makes this property unique

In the south of Avon there are not many other homes in the immediate vicinity. Other areas of the outer banks have dozens of homes all sharing the same beach front. Diamond Shells is well positioned to enjoy an expansive and relatively private beachfront.
