About this property

Reserve your Fall Getaway! OBX Save 10% on 7 nites and 10% early booking! Dogs💛

Captain’s Hideout is a peaceful, dog-friendly, owner-managed waterfront home in quiet Avon Village. With a private sandy soundfront beach, wraparound decks, and gorgeous sunset views over the Pamlico Sound, it’s an easy place to relax, recharge, and truly get away.
Wake up to shimmering water views from your king suite, sip morning coffee on the deck, spend the day swimming, paddling, sunning or simply unwinding in the hammock under the oaks. The beach is just steps from the house—no long walks with chairs or gear.
Inside, you’ll find a clean, well-stocked, modern-rustic home with all essentials provided: made beds, towels, beach towels, detergent, kitchen staples, and a fully equipped kitchen. Outdoors enjoy SUP boards, bikes, beach chairs, a fire pit, and a quiet residential setting with wildlife and endless sunsets.
You’re close to grocery stores, restaurants, shops, and the Avon Pier—yet far enough to feel like you’ve escaped. Guests love how peaceful, clean, and comfortable everything is… and most say they can’t wait to come back.

We just left Captains Hideout and miss it already! The house and the property were perfect for our family of four and fur baby! We fished and crabbed from the bulkhead, the kids used the paddle boards that were at the house, sunsets and stargazing from the porches were amazing. The house is very close to beaches and we even took the passenger ferry to Ocracoke Island for a day trip. Thank you Karen for sharing your property.

My wife and i (and our dog Blue) had a great stay. The location is very convenient to everything but very private at the house. The sound front beach was great for watching sunsets. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. The beds were very comfortable. The showers have great water pressure and lots of hot water. The gates on the deck and the fenced backyard were perfect for keeping the dog confined when necessary. We would definitely stay again!!

House was clean, cute and nice location. Description is accurate. Neighborhood is very quiet.Parking was great. Bikes provided were nice to ride to local restaurants, businesses, pier and beach. Too windy this week to use the SUP's. Private beach area and view of the sound was great. Also the covered deck was enjoyable for us and our pups, used frequently.

Best sunset on the island!

Captains Cove is a beautiful home with a comfortable yet chic decor. The wrap around deck is filled with plants and flowers so every nook is inviting. Karen is a kind and generous host having lots of items in the home you often find you need but forget when you arrive. Our family of three and two pups can’t wait to return!

OBX family vacation

We had a great time and found this property to be perfect for our family of 3 and dog. We really enjoyed the sunset views over the sound, open floor plan and two master suites this property offered. It was an easy drive to local beaches and restaurants allowing us to find the right balance of relaxation and adventure. We’re already planning our return trip!

Wonderful vacation!

We so enjoyed our stay. The house is very nice and tastefully decorated. We loved the walk in shower upstairs. Perfect house if you have pups as there is a gated wraparound porch and a fenced in area in the back yard. The neighborhood is quiet and great for evening walks. The private beach is so cool! We even had a fire in the fire pit one night. Truly a special house. Sunsets were amazing. Hope to return next year.
