The house was cute and right on the sound. I highly recommend it, our group of six was comfortable and had enough room.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was very well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. We especially appreciated thoughtful touches like having Tupperware available for leftovers. There was plenty of storage space for groceries, and the neighborhood was quiet and relaxing. We loved being right on the water, although we wish the fish had been biting a little more. The house could use some updating, but overall it was comfortable and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay.

The house was extremely clean. We enjoyed the stay but the house ran warm the entire time. The first and last day were very hot. The ac seemed to have trouble keeping the house at 70 which was the lowest allowed setting. Surf or sound realty was great when we talked to them and they offered to send someone out immediately. We had some small issues but they offered to address them immediately and stayed in touch with us throughout our stay. The canal in the back does hold fish and crabs. They were all small fish and according to the locals it’s not really worth fishing the canal but there’s a lot of good fishing within minutes of the house. Overall it was a good stay with an extremely clean house but a little warm inside for our liking.

We hope to welcome you back for another Outer Banks vacation soon!

Family Beach Vacation

Drifter's Dock is a great beach house located on a canal and a short walk to the beach. The house was clean and has a well stocked kitchen. There is a grill, two kayaks, and some beach gear available. The house is well cared for. The only downside is that the living room and porch furniture is quite old and uncomfortable. There are several upgrades inside like the washer/dryer, and refrigerator. I would encourage the property to upgrade the furniture and it would be perfect! The property advertises sleeping for 7 but it doesn't have a pull out couch or cot so unless 3 are to sleep in the king sized bed, there is only room for 6 maximum. The location is very convenient to all of the shops, grocery store, and restaurants. Biking and walking is easy in Avon. The property comes with access to the beach club which is a nice perk. The club is about a 5 minute drive with lots of parking and easy access to the beach and pier. While we were there, the bar and grill was not open. The club's website makes it sound like more happens than really does but it was worth having a pool for hot beach days. Overall, an excellent stay at a lovely property.

Great Home!

This is a perfect home if you have dogs. It is at the end of the street and has a great dock for kayaking and dock diving for your pups. It was super clean and stayed very cool. It's about a 5 minute walk to the beach access, but staying on the canal is worth it. We caught more fish off the dock than we did on the pier or the beach. It also has a great yard. We will stay here again.
