Perfect Location and NO surprises!

We loved vacation spots this year from Assateague Island and it was perfect! Glen was so helpful with everything that we needed to make this an easy transition! My husband and our 8 year old go with our “Framily” friends - another couple and their two sons. Plenty of room for all of us! We love to drive on the beach and it was so easy to get a permit online before we came and the access point was just a few minutes away, as noted. We walked to the beach in the morning for sunrises and it was also just as described - so close! The views from the deck were great. The outside shower was a hit! Plenty of space to lounge and relax and enjoy all the Avon has to offer. We took advantage of proximity to the Farmers Maekwt and got some amazing tomatoes and other goodies for beach dinners & being close to the grocery store stopped us from eating all of the amazing food nearby. But we did try a good number of the recommendations and they were all great! We did notice there are a lot of restaurants not open every day or closed last minute or very long ways, but in height of summer season we’re happy to see business thriving! We found a boat rental about 25 minutes away that was super fun for a day too! And spent some Time at the lighthouse as well. Every question we had prior to check in and once checked in was answered promptly and with kindness. We will definitely go back! Thanks for the amazing memories!

Family Vacay

We had a great time in Avon. The house is perfectly located where you can walk to the beach, restaurants, pool, tennis courts, and grocery store. There was plenty of space and the decks were amazing to sit on at night and take in the amazing sunsets. It was a quiet and perfect family vacation.

Needs Updating/Better Cleaning

Pros: close walk to the beach. Close to Food Lion and other stores. Good space in the house. Cons: I'm not sure what is stipulated to be cleaned by the professional cleaners, but they may need to expand to more areas of the home, or they need to do a better job. The ceiling fans all had a layer of dust visible that would have accumulated over months, versus days. And the fans were very wobbly when in use.. One bathroom had a layer of dust where the tile meets the wall. It is bring your own linens, but I think you should be your own everything. Two of the mattress pads were visibly dirty, and so I laundered them on a rival. I did not use the blankets provided. Some of the wooden chairs on the decks showed signs of weather rot and seemed unstable. The outdoor screened area had a door with no screen and the screens in the windows were torn away in some places. The TV in the one master allows for connection to Netflix, but the main living room doesn't, so you have to watch DVD or VHS. The cable is a very basic package. There is a vacuum for guests to use but we found it to have inadequate suction. Overall, this house could be nice, but it needs some updating and a thorough cleaning. Also,, the body of water in the back has alligators in it. This can be expected in the South, but it should be mentioned as some people may have their child kayak on the water.

Another Fabulous Stay at Surfdancer

We stayed at this house the year before, and immediately wanted to book it again. The house is great; clean and air-conditioned and well-stocked. It's right on the bay (or some body of water), which means when you sit out on the balcony at night you get the breeze and almost no mosquitos. The location is a few steps from the beach and right next to the grocery store and dollar store for all your vacation needs. Glen is an excellent host and knows how to respond to your text messages, and the check-in was super easy. Highly recommend this house... especially for families!

Excellent Stay at Surfdancer

We just returned from our amazing vacation at Glen's beach house (Four adults and four young kids). The house was spacious, clean, and well-appointed. The central-air worked perfectly, and the house had everything we needed. It was footsteps from the beach, and just next door to the grocery store and community pool. At night we sat on the deck overlooking the bay, which had a lovely breeze and no mosquitoes! Glen was very responsive in answering any questions we had. I would definitely rent this house again!

Wonderful property

We had a wonderful week in Avon. Surfdancer is just as Glen advertised. The home is beautiful and the location is ideal. The view of the small lake is gorgeous and the closeness to the ocean was great it truly is a short walk. The third floor living is a bit of a chore when first settling in for someone not used to stairs at all lol. Plenty of space for everyone and would highly recommend.

Great escape at a fair price

We stayed for a week at Surfdancer for our first time in Avon. The house was as described. Simply decorated and beach themed. The kayak was a plus with the kids. We enjoyed the short walk to Duck Donuts, and to the beach. The kitchen had enough stuff to make family dinners easily, though we still brought our own spices and a couple kitchen knives. We made frequent use of the community pool, which was a huge bonus! The house was more than big enough for us two adults and our 6 kids.

About the host

Hosted by Glen Morgan

I'm a consultant in Cancer Research after a long career in medical education and at the National Institutes of Health.
My love-affair with the Atlantic's barrier islands began during my summers as a lifeguard on Assateague Island in Maryland. As surfing developed into a passion, I began to venture to Hatteras Island since it was the ideal water-sports playground in a pristine natural seashore setting. My two sons loved the beach when they were young, and continued to enjoy Hatteras as teens and now, as adults. Avon on Hatteras Island is the anchor where all the generations of my extended family love to get together on an annual basis. And, yes, I am still surfing - with the same crew - in Hatteras!

Why they chose this property

After 20 years of vacationing in the Outer Banks, I had a pretty good idea of what all of the locations and villages had to offer. The northern part of the Outer Banks is too over-developed to suit me. Avon Village is centrally located, has more amenities than any other Hatteras Island location, and is bordered on the north and south by the beautiful Hatteras Island National Seashore (5 mins from the house). You have easy access to the Ocean and Sound Beaches for swimming, surfing, shell collecting, windsurfing, kite-boarding, paddle-boarding and many other activities. Young families should try the Pamlico Sound for mellow, shallow, no-wave fun - great for younger children. This area is truly unparalleled on the Atlantic Coast and has been repeatedly named in the top ten beaches in the US.
