About this property

Seamist Escape / 2 Bedroom Ocean front Condominium

Thank you for inquiring about our Seamist Escape Unit 8 at the Islander Condominiums in Avon, NC.

At 1100 sq. ft. with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms along with a well stocked kitchen, an 8 place dining room table and a 4 place breakfast table overlooking the Atlantic ocean, we think that you will find the accommodations both spacious and comfortable as you relax to the sound of the ocean waves.

The living room is furnished with a comfortable sofa and love seat, a 42" flat screen TV with cable, and an MP3/IPOD station for your musical enjoyment.

The master bedroom (Captain's Quarters), overlooks the ocean and Avon Pier with an adjoining balcony and has a separate master bathroom. It is furnished with a queen size bed, dresser and media chest with drawers, and a closet, providing ample storage space for clothing and personal items. We have also provided a 39" flat screen TV with cable for more relaxed TV viewing.

The master bathroom is spacious and equipped with a combo jet bath/shower arrangement and a chest to store your towels and personal toiletry items.

The second bedroom is furnished with two twin beds, a small dresser and a 24" flat screen TV with cable along with a closet.

The balcony provides some of the most panoramic and fantastic views of the ocean to be had on all of Hatteras Island as we are on the top level well above the dunes. No impediment of the view or sound of the ocean whatsoever.

The kitchen is very well stocked with full size stainless steel appliances, ample cabinet and counter space and a wine cooler.

High speed wireless internet, cable TV MP3/IPOD docking station, as assortment of books, washer and dryer, and iron and ironing board are also provided for your convenience. Limited Long distance service is provided, however cell service is excellent at the Islander and all of Hatteras Island.

Linens are not provided, but arrangements can be made to rent linens from nearby vendors. We often use Hatteras Helping Hands, located right in Avon.

The Islander Condominium complex is located in the heart of Avon and is in close proximity to many fine restaurants and shopping facilities.

A pool is on the premises for those wind blown days and a fishing pier is right next door as well. A health and fitness club is just a short walk as are tennis courts and a putting green at Club Hatteras or the Koru Club, as are many fine restaurants and shops. More information regarding things to do will be provided upon request.

Our unit is a top floor unit which is great for the views, but the Islander condominium complex is not serviced by an elevator and therefore, is not suitable for people with physical limitations.

In summary, we feel that you will find our Seamist Escape very comfortable and convenient in every way. Should you like to know more, or if we can provide any assistance to make your vacation more pleasurable, please feel free to contact us.

We thank you for your interest in Seamist Escape.

Seaside Paradise

My family had an amazing time. The pictures do not do the living area justice, it was bigger than we thought it would be. The balcony views were spectacular and we spent every evening out there. It was very convenient with lots of restaurants near by and the grocery store as well. The beaches were beautiful and the waves were great for boogie boarding/surfing. We would come back in heartbeat.

Wonderful unit and location

The unit was spotless and well equipped with everything we needed. Everything looked exactly what was pictured In. the VRBO. app. A minute to the beach and great views from the deck having morning breakfast. Skip and Pat were very responsive and kept us informed as to the road conditions resulting from then TS IAN. Enjoyed our first visit to OBX and looking forward to a return visit with them already.

Beautiful view

The condo is beautiful and has an amazing view. Very close to anything you may need and very well stocked. Be very careful of the screen door, it closes very hard and I was injured, so just be very careful going in and out. My husband rigged up a rope system to hoist bags up and down, 61 steps is a lot to carry everything up and down. We fished on the beach at night and there isn’t much lighting on the stairs descending from the beach, so it’s very dangerous, bring lots of bright flashlights! The neighbors are very aware of everything you do as well. Had a great stay, otherwise.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo.

We could not be more pleased. We have stayed in multiple condos in Avon and this is the nicest one by far. The Marlowe’s are wonderful hosts. They communicated with us well both this and last year prior to our stay. We didn’t need anything during our stay but are confident that they would have been helpful if we needed to contact them. We appreciated the welcome/reference books they put together with the many activities and restaurants in the area. They also had a welcome bag for us upon our arrival. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. The condo is very clean. The location and view is amazing. This year we watched fireworks from the deck that were set off the end of Avon Pier. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful condo with our family.

About the host

Hosted by Skip and Pat Marlowe

Host profile image
My wife and I have been going to the Outer Banks for over 35 years. I am a native of Norfolk Va. and spent many of my younger years surfing and fishing on Hatteras Island. It has always been a dream of mine to own property on the island. I have always considered the Outer Banks to be one of the best stretches of coastline on the Eastern seaboard. We are very happy to now own our own property and to be able to share it with others.

Why they chose this property

The Islander was a perfect choice for us. The view is unparalleled, and the fact that it is a condo made sense for us, since we lived some distance away. The convenience for surfing, fishing, paddle boarding or any other water sports was a major attraction. You will never miss the perfect conditions with a view like ours. And of course, you can't beat the relaxation time with the view and sounds of the ocean right there in front of you.

What makes this property unique

Great shops, restaurants, fishing pier and health clubs, all within walking distance.
