Charming Sound Side Cottage in Avon If you're looking for the ideal place to spend your vacation on Hatteras Island, look no further than this 3-Bedroom, 2-Bathroom sound side beach cottage in Avon! Sea Glass Charmer is conveniently located just a short drive from the best of the Outer Banks while still allowing you to enjoy the peace and quiet of the more secluded beaches on Hatteras Island within walking distance. One stay at this cozy beach cottage and you're sure to make this your annual vacation spot.
When you pull up to this picturesque beach house, you will find parking under the covered carport or on the side of the home to easily accommodate everyone in your group. After a day by the ocean or the sound, take advantage of the outdoor shower or take advantage of the fish cleaning table or grill on the park-style charcoal grill to prepare your very own fresh catch of the day. The nearby picnic table is ideal for afternoon lunches or evenings under the stars as you enjoy your vacation. Just inside, on the ground level, you'll find a washer and dryer for your convenience so that you can easily care for those sandy beach towels, bags and wet clothing after a day at the beach or pool.
Upstairs on the main level, relax around the flat screen TV in the spacious living area with high ceilings, bright lighting, and beautiful nautical decor. Be sure to take advantage of the desk nearby to catch up on emails or do a little work during your stay. Cook up some delicious fresh, local seafood in the fully-equipped kitchen and enjoy meals at the breakfast bar. Just off the kitchen, you'll find a brightly lit, wooden-paneled sunroom that doubles as a dining area making this the perfect place to have dinner with the light of the setting sun. A queen bedroom with access to the shared full bathroom sits just off of the living area for an easy escape in the evening. The home also features a mid-level covered deck for coffee in the morning or quiet time in the evenings under the shade.
Choose from the indoor or outdoor stairs to make your way up to the top level where a spectacular furnished sun deck awaits. Take in the surrounding views of the foliage and stargaze into the brilliant Outer Banks sky after a long day of exciting beach adventures. Step directly inside to access the king bedroom that shares a full bathroom. Another bedroom, with 2 twin beds, also has its own access to the deck and is perfectly situated to watch the sun rise. Further in, relax on the comfortable sleeper sofa with a good beach read or a board game in the loft area that overlooks the main living area. Everything about this home ensures cozy comfort and ideal relaxation while you enjoy the brilliance of an Outer Banks vacation.

We would definitely stay here again. The beach is not a short walk but a short drive. The pool is a couple miles down the road. That should be clearer in the description. Very well stocked kitchen! Couldn ’t have been better. Very relaxing location. Quiet.

Exceptional Summer
We really enjoyed the stay. The location was perfect, it was near everything, the beach, the islands, food. The only thing I had issues with was the check in. The code that was sent to me didn't work and I had to call to get a new one. Other than that the stay was exceptional. Will definitely recommend and stay again
Overall a nice place to stay. It was clean and decorated really nicely. Loved the dining area, where we could play board games and enjoy a local boil.
Only complaint would be the lack of supplies, i.e. dish soap, hand soap, etc. The management group only gives you one of everything and if you’re there a week you will need to bring extra supplies or buy them. Had to pack like we were camping.

Relaxing place
This property was clean and bright. It had plenty of room for my family of adult children and their friends, seven of us in total. The neighborhood is quiet, and it was not a bad walk to the beach. The kids liked to ride the bikes to the beach, however.
We did have a problem getting the door unlocked and then just left the house open when we left so we could get back in.
