About this property

Tarpon Drive Hideaway B:Dog-friendly duplex w/Balcony

Tarpon Drive Hideaway Unit B: A cozy, dog-friendly top-floor Avon retreat with two bedrooms, a spacious deck, fenced yard, and community pool access.

Welcome to Tarpon Drive Hideaway Unit B, a cozy, dog-friendly retreat tucked into a quiet soundside neighborhood in Avon. Located on the top floor of a two-story duplex, this private unit offers a comfortable home base for couples or small families looking to enjoy the best of Hatteras Island.

Inside, Unit B features two bedrooms—one with a king bed and one with a queen—along with one full bathroom and a welcoming living area. The kitchenette is equipped with the essentials for preparing meals and beach-day snacks, while the comfortable living space provides an easy place to unwind after a day on the island.

Step outside onto the spacious deck to enjoy the coastal breeze and a little extra outdoor living space. A fenced backyard provides added convenience for guests traveling with dogs, and guests also have access to the seasonal community pool.

Community Amenities: The Club Hatteras Community Pool and Playground are located at 41156 NC Hwy 12 Avon, NC 27915. The pool is generally open from Memorial Day through Labor Day, from 10 AM to 6 PM. Please note that the operation of community pool dates and times may vary dependent on weather and pool management companies.

Beach Access: Just a short walk from the house! Head east on Tarpon Drive toward the ocean and follow the road to the beach access near Wahoo Circle. The public pedestrian access provides an easy path over the dunes to the beach.

Around Avon Village: There's plenty to enjoy beyond the beach! Grab fresh local seafood, browse locally owned shops, or cast a line from the historic Avon Fishing Pier. Outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of nearby ORV beach access ramps or head to the Haulover Day Use Area for easy sound access, watersports, and beautiful views across the Pamlico Sound.

Located on the soundside of NC Highway 12, Tarpon Drive Hideaway puts you close to Avon's beaches, restaurants, shops, fishing, and other Hatteras Island attractions. Whether your plans include a day at the beach, exploring the village, or simply enjoying a slower pace, Unit B offers a comfortable and convenient place to call home during your stay.
Please Note: Unit B is the top-floor unit of a duplex and may be rented separately from Unit A below. Guests may have neighbors staying in the lower unit during their visit. For groups needing additional space, both units can also be rented together through the Tarpon Drive Hideaway MASTER listing.

This was a good location but the place itself was a bit rough. Interior, furniture all dated and old. Grass was not cut and lighting at night to get up into the place and see the stairs was hard. Don’t think I would stay at this place again. I would spend a few more dollars for something that is nicer.

Nice little place. Beds were comfortable but the living room furniture was not. The hot water took forever to heat up.

Great space!

This two bedroom was perfect for a long beach weekend! Open kitchen and living space, rooms were comfortable! Location was great, walking distance to a few restaurants. Short drive to beach accesses. Thanks for the relaxing get away!

Easy and Convenient

Enjoyable stay! Perfect place if you just want something simple and relaxing. It had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable. The location put us right in the middle of where we like to go on NC12. The only complaint I have is that there was some kind of capsule left on the kitchen floor up under the cabinet that my dog found. Thank goodness he spit it out and we were able to throw it away.

Perfect for a Quiet Getaway

This is our second year coming to OBX and staying here. The condo is small but lovely, and the porch is the perfect place to spend an evening if you're not on the beach. The kitchen supplies are a little lacking, but perfectly serviceable. Being dog friendly and close to both the beach and sound is what initially brought us here, but the location is ideal to a lot of the best of Avon. We're likely to make this our annual OBX location.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Location
The property needs some updates. Outside stairs move as you walk and srveral boards move as you walk 30ft in the air. The hotwater heater only allows for 2 back to back showers then just cold water available. Water pressure is also very low. The couch is from maybe the 1980s. While it is outdated the cleaners did a great job with what they were given. The location is pretty good with a 5 minute walk to the beach.

Cozy little bunglow

The house itself wasn't too bad, there needs to be a lot of updates done to the home especially new furniture and TVs in the bedrooms. They're also need to be better beds my back and side hurt every morning when I woke up from those beds. The couch was a futon which slanted so didn't make it comfortable sitting in it.

Avon NC beach house.

Location was place. Close to everything Avon has to offer. Short walk to beach even if you drove to drop beach gear (tent surf boards coolers there was no parking but people there understanding just unloading. - after mall you are on island time. The unit was perfect for us. Nicely decorated and beds very nice it was at night lights out game over we slept soundly Bathroom served it’s purpose. Maybe some may want a more updated bathroom But it’s a beach house There was also an outdoor shower and also a hose. Great for hosing down beach equipment. And one self Would highly recommend. Reluctantly. Want to say this for selfish reasons. I would like to re-rent the place again. Definitely coming back. Thank you.

Terrible maintenance and management

The place might be decent if it were taken care of and managed well, but that is not the case. The kitchen was barely stocked with several of the pans too rusty to use. The Roku did not work (probably just remote batteries, but we brought our own and used it instead). Those were minor problems though compared to the HVAC issue. It was early April with high temperatures in the 60s and low 70s outside, but we would come home to a home at 86 degrees inside and could not get it cooled with air condition to less than 78 - and that was in the main room with the ceiling fan. The bedrooms had no ventilation and were even hotter and we had instructions to not open windows because they were storm sealed. After two nights of very poor sleep, we realized what was going on and contacted the management company, Vacasa. They send you to a call center who said they would reach out to the local branch, and we never heard anything after that. Apparently someone came to check it out, but they never told us they were coming, so we didn’t know to be there or to have our dogs with us. Because the dogs were there, they would not enter. But did anyone contact us to tell us this? No, we had to call the call center again with another complaint to find that out. So they sent someone again without contact beforehand, but luckily we were there. This guy turned on the A/C and decided that since it was blowing (warm) air, it must be ok. He left without another word, so we had to call and complain again. Finally they called an HVAC person and very luckily they showed up while we were back at the unit for lunch. The HVAC people were very helpful and quickly fixed the problem. However, we never heard from the Vacasa again. We had requested compensation given that we rented a place to sleep and had very poor sleep for three nights, plus our vacation was being turned into a stressful fight to get some help. I suspect that is why they never contacted us, and also hence why they are getting a terrible review from me. So in conclusion, I strongly recommend against not only this place but anything else in the Outer Banks managed by Vacasa.
