Semi-Oceanfront Dog Friendly w/ Pool, Elevator, Hot Tub, Tennis, Beach Nearby
SEMI-OCEANFRONT Avon – Ocean View Dr. – For that sand between your toes feeling you’ve been dreaming about since last summer; THE SANDY HOUSE is ready to turn those reveries into your summer reality. Located just a short walk to the beach, this six-bedroom/four-full and one-half-bath home is perfect for large multi-generational families, especially when an accessible ramp and elevator provides everyone seamless access to all levels.
Pack a basketball and some horseshoes! You’ll be sizing up the basketball hoop, horseshoe pit, and the competition as you unload your car from the large concrete parking area. If you’ve brought along your furry family members, you’ll love the dog-washing station with hot and cold water. There are two outdoor showers for the humans, too, ideal for cleaning up after a day at the beach or cooling down from a soak in the 6-person hot tub. A private swimming pool offers a super beach alternative, especially when lounge chairs offer the perfect place for an afternoon nap. Later, trade the pool lounge for a pool cue in the ground level game room, which also features an entertainment center with a TV, kitchenette, and a half bath.
Discover four of the home’s bedrooms on the first level. A king bedroom and a bedroom with two singles share a jack-and-jill bath, while a second king and another bedroom with two singles share a full bath with hallway access. There is an additional full bath on this level, as well as a laundry closet. Direct access to two decks that span this level, one deck offers ocean views from the two-person swing or hammock and the other deck offers a screened-in porch, perfect for a quiet sanctuary. The remaining two bedrooms, a master king with ensuite bath and a queen with access to a full hall bath are located on the second level.
The main living area, located on the second level, is where the vacation memories accrue as your family comes together for meals, game nights, and late-into-the-night conversations. A well-stocked kitchen inspires the chefs among you to whip up special vacation meals, all of which can be enjoyed — accompanied by ocean views — at the four-seat breakfast bar and two dining tables that accommodate 12. A 65” Smart TV draws everyone into the great room for relaxing TV watching while the top-level deck, complete with 12 Polywood® deck chairs and tables, may prove to be a bigger draw when the moon rises and the stars come out to play.
Guests of THE SANDY HOUSE have access to Kinnakeet Shores community amenities including a swimming pool and tennis courts and is conveniently located within walking distance of Avon’s grocery store, multiple restaurants, ice cream shops and more. Make that long dreamed-about vacation the one that comes true with THE SANDY HOUSE.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review, Charles! We’re thrilled to hear that everything was great during your stay at The Sandy House - #1144. We appreciate you choosing us and hope to welcome you back for another wonderful getaway soon!
Our stay at the Sandy House was great overall. House was clean and location was great. Only negative was the hot tub. It worked great the first 3 days then was drained and never refilled again. Due to colder weather they hot tub was something the adults enjoyed using but wasn’t able to for half the trip.

We are glad ot hear your stay was great overall, Deanna. Please accept our apologies about the hot tub. We appreciate the opportunity to look into what led to this so that others will not have a similar experience!
Myself and my family thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! When we first arrived we realized the grill was not working properly and the property manager as well as the owner of the property worked swiftly to ensure the gill was replaced in a timely manner. The house was nothing short of amazing and fit our family perfectly. The location was also great! Right next to the Food Lion and other shops. A very short walk to the beach access. Overall, we had an amazing time and loved the property!
