About this property

Beachfront home with direct beach access, outdoor shower, ocean views, AC

New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.

Avalon offers all the comforts of home and even more! There is an oceanfront covered porch on the first level and an oceanfront sun deck on the second level. There is a sound-side deck, on the second level, where you can sit back and soak up the last rays of the day as the sun sets behind the sound. These outdoor living areas are furnished with a picnic table for dining, rockers, and some built-in seating.

The curb appeal is unmistakable. A cute little yard bordered with lively evergreens, coastal grasses and shrubs, and a poster fence welcome your family with a park-like atmosphere. On the first level, you will find the living area, dining area and kitchen. Just off of the living area, you will find a bunk room, full bath, and laundry. Enter the open living area, comfortably furnished and adorned with gleaming views of the sea. The living room has a neutral L- shaped sofa which offers plenty of comfortable seating. A round coffee table is prepared for you to rest your cold drink, while you sit back and relax. A few board games are stored in the hutch and there are extra chairs around for additional seating. There is also a desk located in the living area for writing in your journal or copying down your favorite seafood recipes. A bright green and blue rug adds just enough pops of color to this serene living area. Located to the right as you enter the home, the open kitchen allows the cook to prepare meals without missing any of the action. The amenities include a refrigerator with an in-door icemaker, a smooth surface stove, a built-in microwave, a blender, a coffee maker, and an additional prep area with a quick-rinse sink. This kitchen will accommodate the finest gourmet chef as well as the amateur cook. The open breakfast bar wraps around the kitchen and offers seven stools for additional seating. The dining room offers a rectangular table for eight that sits beneath a six-light chandelier. The horizon is a perfect appetizer for all your meals at Avalon. A high chair provides even the baby vacationer with a place to enjoy a bite or two. The light flooring and blue walls carry the beach feel throughout this entire open area. Sliding glass doors lead you to a covered oceanfront porch.

A set of stairs descend to a grand boardwalk grazing above the grassy dune. Front-row views of the ships gliding across the Atlantic are found at the seating area. A few more steps down and your toes are tickled by the sugar sand beach. Back on the covered porch, you will find a picnic table and built-in seating. Around the corner of the deck is a privately enclosed outdoor shower offering hot and cold water for your comfort. Rinse off the heat of the day and step into the side entrance of the home, where you will find a bathroom and full-size washer/dryer.

Located just down the hall from the living area is an oceanfront bedroom. In the same hall, next to the bedroom you will find a full bath and laundry area on your way to the staircase leading to the second floor. Ascend the stairs and to the right of the stairs, you will find access to a second-level sound-side deck. Hideaway and watch the blazing Topsail Island sunsets. Settle into a lounge chair and read the best seller you haven't had time for lately. All three bedrooms on the second level offer sliding glass doors accessing the oceanfront sun deck, with built-in seating. Step out onto the deck and with a bird's eye view of the shoreline, you may get a glimpse of some dolphins playing.

Family Vacation

Location is great, the tide pools and water was fantastic for our little one. House could use a little TLC for bathrooms, but in bigger beds as they can fit, and need to stock the kitchen better as not much there to use. Small things if addressed would knock this place out of the park if done.

Family Vaca

This house is lovely. Big kitchen. Lots of space for little ones to run around and comfy seating for adults to relax. And amazing views of the ocean.....whether sitting on the oceanfront deck or just looking out the big windows!

Nice but some issues

We loved the location and set up. But beds were very hard to sleep on, very uncomfortable so won’t stay here again unless they update the mattresses. Very little drinking cups on kitchen, had to buy disposable cups to drink out of during our stay.

Beautiful home

Very happy with this choice. The house is spacious and well maintained. Bedrooms are big and there’s plenty of closet/dresser space. Living/dining area is great. Kitchen has lots of supplies. Beautiful ocean side views. Plenty of outside seating too. Multiple decks to enjoy the views. Love the outdoor shower to get sand off. Plenty of room on the beach for enjoying the waves, playing games, or just sunning. Vacasa handled the booking and stay experience even better. Would definitely book this vacation spot again.

Absolutely beautiful and very comfortable.

This property is a gem! The decks and beach were all beautiful. The house was well maintained and offered all amenities. We had amazing sunrises in the morning peeking in from the sliding doors. Each morning while watching the sunrise, we’d step out on the deck and be greeted by pods of dolphins and flocks of pelicans. It’s a nice spot, 1/2 way point so it’s easy access to each end of Andersen Ave. We had all the things needed to make wonderful meals. Clean kitchen and living areas. If I had to give one remark that wasn’t as complimentary, I’d just ask on our next visit, that the bathrooms had a more thorough clean and the windows would have the sand washed off the outside of them. We ended up doing this ourselves. We enjoyed our visit immensely and were grateful for the family time. Sincerely, A grateful family.

Pretty Place, Disappointingly Dirty

Location, view, structure, and modern characteristics of the house were all superb. However, it was apparent that prior to our arrival the house had only been spot cleaned. The couch was disgusting, riddled with orange Cheeto/pizza stains and old, sticky food under the cushions. The throw blanket provided on the couch had not been washed, also riddled with orange stains and a child’s sticker still in the folds. Not only had the floors not been mopped in a while, they had not even been swept. The countertops in the kitchen were positively grimy. I spent part of my first day of my vacation washing and cleaning (and covering the couch so that I could sit on it). This was not reported during my stay because I did not want my vacation to be interrupted for someone to come clean it, I simply expected it to be clean before I arrived.

Dirty Property- August 2023

Beautiful views, unfortunately the property was filthy. Blood on floor, food and mold in kitchen sinks, dirty countertops, filthy oven with a summer's worth of burnt food in it, over-flowing trash with flies everywhere, dirty showers and tubs, trash in the outside shower. The floors had not been washed and I had to buy a Rubbermaid Spin Mop to clean the floors as we had a crawling baby staying in the house. Slow automated response from Vacasa to resolve the issues. about getting the property cleaned. Two days into vacation someone came to clean the property. There was water dripping onto light switch plate on the second floor coming from the air-conditioning system and black mold behind the picture hanging directly above the switch plate. We put duct tape over the switches with a "Do not Use" sign on it., to prevent anyone from getting shocked.
