About this property

Overlooking Atlantic Ocean, Pamlico Sound & Hatteras National Seashore

Enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the water!

This house is solely managed by the owner.

Located at Avon's secret South end (on Park Drive), gorgeous MAESTRALE has unrestricted views of Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Pamlico Sound and the Atlantic. Positioned one house away from the Sound on a cul-de-sac, this very quiet SEMI-SOUNDFRONT location is actually closer to the water than some soundfront houses on the Island. It's just a 6 minute walk to the ocean and a 1 minute walk on a sand/boardwalk path to the shallow, warm waters of the Pamlico Sound where you will find a private-access, secluded shallow-water beach on where kids can wade & find hermit crabs. This is a premier destination for wind sports enthusiasts & is an ideal windsurfing/kiteboarding launch area. You can leave your gear on the beach when you go to the house for lunch or refreshments. The ocean is just a quick 6 minute walk down the street & over the dunes on the community maintained boardwalk. Kayak (single) available to guests.

The ground level has ample concrete parking, basketball hoop, outside shower, carport, under-house entry, partial boardwalk and lockable storage area (concrete floor) that will accommodate boards and rigged sails. The 1st floor has an inviting 'getaway' sitting room. The first master suite has a full bath. The second bedroom is bunk equipped and the third is twin equipped. The second bath opens to hallway. MAESTRALE'S large second level great room with tall cathedral ceilings has perfect southern exposure, lots of glass, and 'postcard' views of Hatteras Island's quiet side. The well-equipped kitchen with breakfast bar and wide dining area is a hit. A 2nd master suite has a semi-private bath. The spa/hot-tub on the back deck is the perfect place to close every vacation day. Wide south sun decks squeeze every drop of sun to warm winter weary guests.

The View
Great location. Spacious house with wonderful decks and crow's nest to see both the ocean and sound. Even has a walking access to the sound. We were very comfortable. An easy walk to the beach or just a few seconds from a public parking area.

Best location in Avon for windsurfing enthusiasts
We rented the house for a second time in just over a year. We were very satisfied with Glen's welcoming and his team who took care of opening the house, as we were early in the season. The house was spotless and some improvements had been made since our last visit (new dishwasher, etc.) . Glen really cares about the comfort of his tenants. He always responds promptly to all our communications, from trip planning to departure date. We recommend to all sailing enthusiasts to take advantage of the ideal location near the sound and the proximity to the sea. We had a wonderful vacation, thank you Glen!

Nice property on the sound
Maestrale was very clean and well-maintained and furnished. We like to cook and eat in so were particularly happy to have the well-equipped kitchen and lots of dishes and silverware. The supermarket (Food Lion) and great seafood shop are a short drive away. There are nice sound views from the house and decks and a view of the ocean from the upper deck. The little private beach on the sound is a lovely place to watch the sunset and the ocean is a quick and easy walk away. Glen was great with communications, provided excellent information before our arrival and always got right back to us in response to any questions. We would definitely recommend Maestrale as a rental and Glen as a host.

Bliss at Hatteras
We have stayed in Avon many times. Always a treat. This house is at the end of a cul de sac right near the sound and a short walk or drive to the beach. It is not fancy and has a knock out view of the sound and amazing sunsets! The house itself is clean and well maintained. The host easy to contact and extremely knowledgable of the area. We booked next year already!

Great location!
Maestrale is tucked into a small neighborhood along the pamlico sound with great access to the outer side of the island as well. We had 8 people and an infant, and things were feeling a little tight by the end of the week. I’d recommend this property for 6 adults + children as a sweet spot. The host Glen is super responsive and was very pleasant to work with. Recommended!

A must, for our next vacation in OBX!
We were very pleased with the house. It was exactly as described in the listing. There was a semi-private beach, sound side. It was easy to store and access all our windsurfing gears from the house. There is also a kayak at our disposal, to explore the area. The owner has provided everything we could possibly require, for that time of the year. Glen was very responsive and provided us with tips to enjoy the surroundings. The house is located at the south side of Avon. The environment is calm and mostly surrounded by nature. The see side beach was at a short walking distance, same thing for the Food Lion. We hope to be Glen’s guests again very soon, we would definitely rent this house again.

Great OBX Stay!
This was our first trip to the outer banks and this house was perfect! We were two families with four young boys among us and the house had plenty of room. Each family had their own space but there was also lots of open areas where we could all gather. Proximity to the sound and the beach were great. Glen was very helpful. Highly recommend!

Glen was a pleasure to communicate with! He sent a very complete run down of all the information we would need on our stay ahead of time and was quick to respond with questions. The house is clean and equipped. We loved the little private beach on the sound. The views from the deck are gorgeous, especially in the morning with coffee. The hot tub was a nice addition as well. I wished the beds were a little more comfortable but I’m picky. Thanks again Glen!

Fantastic place to stay
This was our second time at maestrale and we hope to come back. The house is perfect in every regard. Location could not be better, 2 minutes walk to the sound and about 5 minutes walk to the national sea shore. The view from the living room and back deck is just beautiful . The house itself is spacious, very clean and well equipped with everything you might need. Glen is a great host, easy to communicate with and very responsive. We were 4 adults and all just absolutely loved it ! Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Glen Morgan

Host profile image
I am a native Marylander, went to U of MD, work as a scientific consultant in Cancer Research, and now live in Northern Virginia. My wife, Kim, & I LOVE Hatteras Island! I am an avid surfer & kiteboarder.

Why they chose this property

I became enamored with beach life while I was a lifeguard on Maryland's Assateague Island in my youth. Hatteras has always had that unique combination of being remote yet accessible.

What makes this property unique

Maestrale's location bordering the national seashore provides incredible vistas of the (and access to the) ocean, the Pamlico Sound, and the untouched/undeveloped part of the island. Kayak, SUP, kiteboard, windsurf and fish - steps away from the back door.
