Waterfront, dog-friendly house with lovely water views, pool access & deck

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

Hunting for the perfect Hatteras Island vacation cottage? Set your sights on the newly renovated canal front Duckin Around. With a near-perfect canal-front location in mid-Avon, DNA has a small boat dock and a bulkheaded waterfront that is ideal for small boats, kayaks, SUPs, fishing, and crabbing. DNA has great concrete parking, two carports, an outside shower, and a park grill. This single story cedar shake cottage has a nicely furnished sundeck that overlooks the canal out back. Supervising kids in the yard or on the water is a bonus. The new vinyl plank flooring is gorgeous and easy to clean and maintain. The living area is well furnished and anchored by a 55” Smart TV and electric fireplace. The kitchen has all-new stainless appliances, a new Keurig coffee machine, and a dining table. The good-size king main bedroom offers a good neighborhood view, a Smart TV, and a full bath with a tub/shower. Bedroom two has one double-size bunk and a flat-screen TV. The hall bath has a tub/shower and is adjacent to the stack washer/dryer nook. Bedroom three has one double-size bunk and a flat-screen TV.

Bring your bikes because Avon has a superb village pedestrian/bike path that leads to some great restaurants and shopping. Duckin Around is so clean and comfortable that you will be flying back for a visit sooner than you think. Not to mention, the local DQ is only a five-minute walk, and the beach is just a ten-minute walk from your front door so you will have fun days of sweet treats and sandy toes at your fingertips!

Excellent location for a dog friendly vacation. Easy walk to nearby coffee shops and restaurants. House was clean and in good condition. Only deducted a point because the master bedroom/bathroom appears to be an addition to the home as there is a slight tilt to that whole area. That didn't matter to us, but it might to some so I thought I should point it out.

OBX ❤️

We loved this property it fit our family of 4 very well. It was nice being on the water. We enjoyed being able to rinse off in the outdoor shower after being at the beach. The parking underneath was nice and gave us a place to keep our kayaks. The corn hole boards were nice in the evenings after dinner. The property could have been cleaned a little better. The ceiling fan had about 2 inches of dust. Since it’s a pet friendly property it’s also important to clean under the beds. Lots of pet hair in corners and underneath things. The property could use some paint and a new kitchen table. Other than that, it was a great place!

Great Duckin' Visit :)

Duckin' Around met all of our needs! I loved the layout of the house with the primary bedroom on the opposite side of the house from the other two bedrooms. A very functional house plan, more so than many other Avon rentals we've stayed in with more square footage. I appreciated the fact that the primary bathroom had a wall cabinet, which was the perfect size for my make-up, toiletries, and hair products. I enjoyed the airy vibe the recent updates offered. Before our stay, I read a review about Palmetto bugs, which we know are indigenous to the area, however, we saw none, even being on the lookout for them. We always, always take large gallon storage bags to store any open dry foods like chips, crackers, cookies, etc. for that very reason. The outdoor area and dock were family friendly and well kept. The area under the house was clean and large enough to cover a car, maybe two they are compact. Thank you to the owners for not allowing the shrubbery to be so overgrown. We truly enjoyed our time in this home.

Perfect Canal Location

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Everything was clean, stocked, and comfortable. The underside of the house was a bonus for keeping the car cool/dry. One of the best outdoor showers we’ve seen in OBX. Disappointed the rates jumped up so much for next year though. Will likely have to look elsewhere as a result.

Great house, but poorly managed by management company

I've reached out to the management company, Hatteras Realty, and asked them to get our feedback to the owners, but a week has gone by, and we haven't gotten a response. I don't want this review to reflect on the owners, because it really was a wonderful house, and we had a really great time. Hatteras Realty poorly managed the house. It was very dirty upon arrival. I immediately cleaned the bathtubs and floors. They refunded our cleaning fee. The grass in the yard was kneehigh in spots and there was quite a lot of dog poop in the yard. The internet wasn't working when we arrived. We needed it for two virtual students and one virtual business worker staying at the house. After 4-5 days of being bounced around by Hatteras with no real solutions, we took matters into our own hands and called the provider. It was fixed the next morning. They had to rewire from the house to the street, and change a connector inside the house. There were many other things that were subpar. The most concerning was that the air filter was overflowing with dust and dirt. That's probably why the floors were so dirty. In a Coronavirus world, it made us super nervous that the filter hadn't been changed for what seemed like months. The house itself was wonderful. It happily housed our family of 6 for one month. The canal in back was so great for crabbing and kayaking. The walk to the beach was a breeze, even with 2 3-year-olds. The neighbors were so lovely that my 10 year old cried when we left.

Nice house!

We really appreciate our stay in this house. It was close to all major locations. A basket for fishing blue crab was available. The house is bigger than it looks in the photos. However, the mattress in the master bedroom is really not comfortable.
