I’ve been coming to the Outer Banks for the last several years. This is by far the best place that I’ve stayed. Great location and great accommodations.

If you enjoy Pamlico Sound views & sunsets, this is your rental. Great location, dock & other amenities for an enjoyable stay. A deep cleaning would make me give the property 5 stars!

Lapha Amanzi was amazing!
Loved the bedroom setups, the view, the decks, the panoramic water and sunset views, the sound water access and docks, the cleanliness and the open space of the great room/kitchen.

Lovely
Our family absolutely enjoyed the spaciousness of Lapha Amanzi! We are looking forward to returning to the property in 2021.
The house was spacious and comfortable. A couple door/locks needed repair, especially the main entrance.

Felt like going home
For many years we've been looking for a house that feels like home when we go away for vacation. For us, this home was it. Great beds. Great views, both in the shade and in the sun. Comfortable furniture, which says a lot for somebody who has a bad back like me. Great customer service from Vacasa. Not a complaint at all about this house and we hope to get to rent it again.

Beautiful view, great water access, fantastic layout, lovely decor
This is definitely my favorite house in Avon. The split-level design allows for plenty of privacy and cuts down on the number of stairs you have to climb. The house is so clean and everything just works. The kitchen is well equipped.
The one thing I would change is to add grab bars and a handheld shower sprayer to at least one shower/bath area for the safety and comfort of guests with
mobility or balance challenges. A step leading to the master bathroom’s jacuzzi would be helpful as well.

Perfect location and great amenities!
This house is right on the sound…walk out your door and jump in! It was clean and well-appointed…the kitchen was full of good quality cookware, plenty of dishes, silverware, and glassware as well as utensils and small appliances. The furniture and bedding was clean and comfy. We got in the sound every day and really enjoyed relaxing on the multi-level deck and under-house shaded area. I highly recommend this house!
(PS…There was no hair dryer…pack one if you need it).

Wonderful Soundfront Experience
The home is well situated, very livable, and perfectly located in a quiet Avon neighborhood. We always stay soundside, and tend to stay in Hatteras Colony in Avon, but decided to stay here and had a great time. Some of the kitchen equipment is either missing or in need of replacement (the double broiler is warped and rocks uncontrollably when steaming shrimp), but other than that it was a great place to stay. Only negative would be the neighbors not turning off their outside lights at night creating light pollution when stargazing.

Nice house! Won't stay with Vacasa again!
House was nice. Communication was not the greatest. Price of the house going up 2000 for same week next year and it's not worth it! Will never stay in a house through Vacasa again!

Amazing location, okay house.
The location was amazing, exactly what we wanted with our own dock and away from the hustle and bustle. Kitchen was not very well stocked with pots and pans, but had plenty of utensils and plates. Half the electric went out on the main and upper levels, unfortunately the electrician couldn’t get out until after our check out. Inconvenient but we managed.

The good and the (little) bad
The house was gorgeous. Very spacious for all of us to run around and not bump into one another. Photos do not do it justice. If I had one grape it’s the kitchen windows. While the sunshine is beautiful coming through those windows in the morning, it gets extremely warm. Some type of shade or curtain would be nice.

Great girls’ trip
Really well stocked home, amazing views and comfortable beds. Home owners seem to have thought of everything in re: to kitchen tools. Easy to use appliances. Nice bathrooms. BEAUTIFUL sunsets from the decks. One drawback was that in the queen bed bedroom, out of four windows in the bedroom & en suite bathroom, only one window opened. (The door to the outside did open.) Not sure about other bedrooms, as the other guests didn’t try to open windows. I’d absolutely recommend, and would stay here again if in the area.

Beautiful Soundfront Home
The view is fabulous. The rooms are nice and the great room is very large for gatherings. Only two minor problems which they did attempt to correct. The air conditioner didn't cool things off very well. The master shower broke on Wednesday and was never fixed. So showering in the kids rooms wasn't the best.
Would definitely stay here again. Loved sitting outside and watching the sunsets and enjoying the mornings.
