I can’t say enough about our stay in Avon at the McMullen property! Our large family had a magical week of swimming sound-side, kayaking in the sound, family meals and games, days on the gorgeous beaches, learning to surf, and enjoying amazing sunsets every night. We even had front row seats to the meteor showers! Nat is the most responsive host we’ve ever had and she answered all of our questions right away. We had a family photo shoot at sunset and got some priceless photos. The property is expansive, well maintained, and includes everything you need for a beautiful vacation. We would absolutely stay there again!

This was my dream vacation come true; a house on the water in the Outer Banks with a deck facing the water and room for all my adult children and my grandkids. The house was lovely and well supplied. The pool was fantastic! Lots of space and pretty private. The host responded very quickly and friendly to requests. She really wanted us to be happy and enjoy our stay, which we did.

The waterfront views and daily sunsets were so wonderful. This property was an excellent match for my family. So many outdoor activities are provided at no additional cost. There are 3 paddleboards, kayaks, and bikes, which kept us busy. The pool is excellent. Access to a local gym and tennis club was also great. Well-stocked kitchen. The host was great! She was available and informative throughout our stay. We will definitely be going back!

We had a great week! Very quiet & peaceful location on the sound all while being very close to the beach, grocery stores and restaurants. Plenty of room for extended family to have their own space, all while having great common areas to spend time together. The book and game library in the living room provide plenty of things to do inside if the weather isn't great, or if you just need to get out of the sun. Owner was very attentive and helpful and provided all the information we needed to get the most from our stay.

Great Extended Family Get Away

The house is super clean, well appointed and had everything our family needed to spend a week playing and enjoying each others company. We have vacationed many years on the OBX and never stayed in the same house twoce, but this home has is thinking we should come back next year. The host was very kind and helpful and addressed the minor concerns we had while there very quickly. The location is Amazing. The sound was beautiful and the pool was wonderful. I highly recpmmend this property.

This was the perfect house for our extended family to get together for a week! Everything that we needed was provided - pool, hot tub, bikes, kayak, paddle board, life jackets, hammocks, plenty of games, puzzles, and books, and a well stocked kitchen. The view of the sound (and sunsets) behind the house was amazing! The owner was also incredibly responsive to any questions we had during our stay. We would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect vacation house!!

This place was amazing!!! 1st off, great neighborhood off the beaten path!! Right on the sound, amazing views, and thoroughly enjoyed watching kite surfers! The open floor plan of kitchen, dining room and living room was great for hanging out, the kitchen had everyone you would need! The hot tub was hot, the pool was refreshing! There were so many bedrooms to choose from, along with bathrooms. There were only 4 of us, but we loved having our own spaces!The village is great, we loved the little coffee shop called “Ugly Mugs”, and the gym was great as well!The owners were in direct contact and gave us a list of plenty of places to eat, things to do and access! We will definitely stay here again!

70th BDay Celebration

Great Location! Timely response from owner and management company. Beautiful views! Home needs a great deal of TLC. Carpets beyond filthy, mold in fridge ( cleaning folks came to clean it up mid week), throw rugs placed over kitchen flooring to cover up gaps in tiles. The rugs were very slippery causing concern for our guests. Hot tub cover is falling apart. Bikes were unusable, some of the kayaks were unusable. No usable beach chairs on property. Home could be amazing if some major attention were given at this time to the details.

Amazing Sunsets and Bayside Waterfront

We had an amazing week. Everything was ready for us upon arrival, clean and we'll appointed. The kitchen is more than well supplied with pots and pans and extras like spices and olive oil. The view from the great room out over the bay was beautiful. We were able to see the sunset while enjoying dinner on the deck over looking the water. There was a great selection of books to enjoy during our stay. The kids loved being able to use the paddle boards and kayak every morning and spent a lot of time playing pingpong. They brought their bikes and found it a great area for them to safely ride. We found it easy to find beach access and spent three afternoons at three different nearby beaches. Food Lion is nearby, an easy 5 minutes to grab last minute items. One night we used the grill which is available for guests. The hot tub was enjoyed by all especially after it became chilly in the evening. It was clean and we'll maintained. I especially appreciated the outside shower that everyone could use before coming back into the house from the beach. There are two washers and two dryers to keep up with laundry. Natalie responded right away to any questions we had and was welcoming and checked in to be sure everything was okay during the week. We would definitely choose to stay here again.

Amazing from the beginning!

We had a group of 14 for the week we stayed at this wonderful place. This was the first time any of us had visited the Outer Banks and a wonderful time was had by all. We were all in love from the minute we drove up. The house is so much more in person than in the pictures . It was clean, open and plenty big enough for the entire group. The view and the sunsets will leave you speechless. The pool and hot tub were extra icing on the top. The men fished every day right out the back door. The kids found hermit crabs and experienced kayaking and loved it! You can, literally, step off the deck into the water, which is clean and clear. We met Mark on our first day. What a great guy is! He and my husband talked fishing and Mark gave some great advice. Any question we had Natalie responded immediately. The town of Avon is also pretty cool. We were able to get fresh seafood right around the block, eat awesome crab legs less than a mile away and the Food Lion is close by. We took the kids to Orcracoke via the ferry, arrive for the ferry before 8 am or plan on waiting. I could go on and on but suffice it to say we had no negatives about anything our entire trip. Natalie and Mark were both helpful and very kind. We cannot wait to go back.

The location, amenities, and potential of this home is why I am giving this a three star review, but I would have to rate it lower if purely off listing versus reality. Unfortunately, the pictures on the listing appear to be very outdated. Two windows in the living room are boarded up which was a shock on arrival as the view was part of the selling point. The carpet was very worn in the living room, and the “few planks awaiting repair” in the kitchen covered by a few rugs glued down turned out to be most of the kitchen flooring with strips of vinyl lifting up as we walked around. The couch in the living room you can feel the frame when you sit on it it’s so worn out. It doesn’t feel like the damage is recent with so many things worn out or in some state of needing repair or like the boarded up windows, in a pending status. The overall feel of the main living area was it was probably nice at one point but has become very run down. The hot tub cover was shredded and inside the hot tub had staining. The basement had a dehumidifier running but those rooms had a consistent moldy smell. The positives were the kitchen was well equipped, the pool was in good condition with amazing views of the sound, the access to sporting equipment and use of the dock made for a lot of fun. Great location and amazing views from the deck. Host was responsive to other maintenance issues that we reported during our stay. If the main level was repaired/renovated this would be an amazing property.
The rugs are glued down in the kitchen and dining area to cover missing or damaged vinyl flooring planks.
Window on far left of photo and next to the TV are boarded up. There was also a window boarded up in the first floor master on the same level. We reported the damaged blinds on arrival.
The cover for the hot tub was very damaged and some of the tape was falling into the tub when you opened it.
The location and views are amazing. If the main floor was renovated to at least be up to the condition of the photos in the listing this would be a wonderful property.

Awesome view, large home, great time!

To start off, Natalie was amazing when it came to any questions or concerns we had. When we arrived, Alana was in the home cleaning, which wasn't a problem, and was able to provide us with what was needed during our stay as far as sheets, cleaning supplies, etc. We did notice, however, there were not enough fitted nor flat sheets for the beds, but that was not a big concern, we didn't let that effect our stay. The bunk bed room, my 15 year old niece who isn't even 100lbs, fell through the bed because of a board that was broken. We were able to fix the bed, then it happened again. We fixed it again, and all was well. This was not a big deal to us, again, we weren't going to let it effect our stay. You can see where the property lines are from the large, NO TRESPASSING sign posted along with the rope on the neighbors property. We were however disappointed, that we were unable to utilize the private beach because it had not been cleaned and was covered in feet of sea grass. That didn't stop us from enjoying the water! There were tons of activities to keep the kids occupied throughout the house and we all had a wonderful time. There was plenty of space for everyone. My fiancé noticed there was no tv in the master bedroom on the main level, but who needs a tv when on vacation?! Overall, our OBX vacation this year was one for the books! There was plenty of room, plenty to do, comfy beds for relaxing after a long day of being busy, clean, and the bedrooms are properly spaced so we put the kids in the downstairs bedroom and the bunk bedroom and didn't hear them! Everyone enjoyed their stay and we will definitely rent from Natalie again!
Response from VrboOwner on 6 March 2020
We are happy you all enjoyed your stay! Wish we were told about the issue with the bunk bed - we would have sent our amazing handyman Matt to fix it in no time! The beach situation depends on the time of year and tide/water cycle and levels. Sometimes we get beautiful areas of white sand, sometimes it is covered with seaweed. There is no way to "clean" it, the nature manages it according to its cycles. We will make sure that the web description states clearly which rooms have the TVs and which don't. Two bedrooms on the main floor don't have TVs as these rooms are adjacent to a living room with a large smart TV in it. The rest of the bedrooms have TVs. Overall, there are six brand new flat screen smart TVs in the house. While no other guest had the same concern, we are going to be adding two additional TVs based on this review and hope that this will improve guest experience - thank you for your comment. Best, Nataie

Second stay at this house; great location, amazing views!

This is my second stay at this house; first time with Natalie as the owner and manager of the house. My review of the house from the first time I stayed here is below. I wanted to give an update on the house since its under different ownership, plus the game room was not part of the rental this time, so thought it was important to clarify that. Overall, we loved staying in this house: great views of the sound, wonderful sunsets, most appliances updated (love the water filter in the fridge door), great location in Avon (in the Village, close to restaurants, the pier, Food lion), lots of dishes, utensils, and storage space for food in kitchen, nice furniture, very comfortable beds, amazing pool and hot tub, lots of comfortable outdoor furniture, great communication with Natalie (she responds quickly to texts), and nice 2 person kayak provided at the house. She even gave us use of a standup paddle board and crab pot, which was great! We had 12 people staying here (6 adults, 6 kids) and there was plenty of room for everyone, including at the dining room table and the bar. It was great that sheets and towels are provided (just have to wash, dry and put them away when you leave). We did have a few issues and this is where I think going with a management company would have some benefits and why I gave it 4 stars. The house wasn't cleaned until after 5:30pm on check-in day (I was surprised to find it dirty in the kitchen and bathrooms when we arrived alittle before 4; if I had known the cleaning lady was coming later, it would have made me feel better. No big deal in the end); dishwasher worked very poorly so we hand washed and used paper plates the whole week (Natalie was getting it replaced but they couldn't deliver until the next Monday); many light bulbs were not working, could use a bit more lighting in some of the bedrooms; the slats of the bottom bunk twin bed kept falling down (note my 40lb daughter would just sit on it...they were cut just a bit too short) so we just put the bed on the ground. The deck around the pool is new, but could use alittle follow up maintenance (we pounded down some nails that popped up and removed a huge splinter sticking up). I know no rental house is perfect and undergoes lots of use, so we understand these are minor issues and we didn't mind them. Overall, we had an amazing vacation and are glad we found this house.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 March 2020
We are glad you had a great vacation and enjoyed the house. We did get the dishwasher repaired and it is working fine now. We also had a new refrigerator installed. Sometimes these repairs and fixes take a couple of days and happen after the guest departed.

Everything We Needed

The house was very spacious, plenty of room for our family of 15. It was the first time we have ever stayed on the sound side and we loved using the standing paddle boards and kayaks. Our children had a ball on them. They were also able to fish and we’re very excited about that as well.

Pier and outside shower. The sound is very peaceful to be on—views were amazing from sound side of house—-Manager easy to contact and very prompt response time. Large kitchen. Large laundry room.

Glorious Stay on the Calm Side of Avon

We had an amazing vacation. The type when you're not ready to leave. It's right on the sound so if you are into paddleboarding, kayaking (like me) or windsurfing (like my husband), this is the place to stay. We had four kids who loved the pool and exploring in the waters right next to the house. It's so relaxing to sit on the back deck and just stare out into the water with a good book. The pier is only a mile away so trips to the beach are pretty easy. We only went a couple times though because everything we needed was right here. The owner was very responsive and communicative. She clearly wants to make sure you have an enjoyable stay. 10 out of 10! Would definitely recommend.
