Soundside Dog Friendly Home in Avon with Private Pool, Hot Tub, and Game Room
SOUNDSIDE Avon – Kinnakeet Shores – When the native white ibis finds a hospitable place to nest, the prized bird must be on to something. For human vacationers, KINNAKEET IBIS is that place. It is surrounded by the sound’s wetlands, where nature and fitness trails weave throughout the neighborhood. It offers easy access to the Pamlico Sound for canoeing, kayaking, crabbing, and fishing. It sits two streets away from the ocean. There’s a community lake, pool and tennis courts that are easily accessible. Best of all, the six-bedroom/five-bath home emanates a warm sense of home that makes it naturally easy to settle in and let vacation take over.
On the ground level, enjoy a private pool and patio with both ample shade and sun to position an Adirondack chair for maximum relaxation. A new 6-person hot tub offers a soothing respite, whenever you need it. A game room featuring a pool table, foosball table and large 50-inch Smart TV with Blu-ray pulls the action inside where you can make use of the refrigerator to store some snacks and drinks. A laundry room, full bath with a tub/shower and bedroom with a full bed completes this level.
Four bright and spacious bedrooms occupy the second level. Two queen bedrooms offer tranquil lake views from private deck access. One features a private bath and a 32-inch Smart TV. The other also has a 32-inch Smart TV and shares a full bath with a bedroom offering two singles with a 32-inch TV/Blue-ray player. The final bedroom on this level is a king featuring private deck access, a 43-inch Smart TV and a full bath with tub/shower and a double-sink vanity.
The final ensuite king bedroom with private bath and deck access is located on the top level, as is a comfortable great room that has everything a family needs to relax and embrace the coastal vibe. Contemporary seating gives everyone a great view of the Smart TV or pick a book from the many titles in the bookcase and settle into a chair for a good read. The beautifully equipped kitchen makes vacation cooking a dream. Enjoy the choice to serve up your meals at the four-stool breakfast island, eight-seat dining table or at the picnic table on the adjacent deck. You’ll find yourself drawn to that wide, furnished deck — and the crow’s nest perch above it — quite often: the views of the lake, ocean and pool are undeniably special. Bring your flock to KINNAKEET IBIS by booking today.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Jacie! We're delighted that Kinnakeet Ibis - #1001 provided the perfect setting for time with family and friends. The closeness to both the beach and shops is certainly a favorite feature of ours as well! We'd be thrilled to host you again for another memorable trip to Hatteras Island.
The house was exactly as described. Super clean, very spacious and great location. The realty group was very responsive when needed and I would recommend working with them and returning to the property.

Hi Alexandra - Thank you for your review and for staying with us at 1001 - Kinnakeet Ibis. We are glad you enjoyed the home and it's location! We look forward to seeing you back on Hatteras Island again soon! - Your Friends at Surf or Sound Realty
We loved this house!! The only complaint was the kitchen refrigerator was not big enough for the amount of people that the house sleeps. Check in was a breeze and the house was very clean. Tip: book directly through surf or sound to save $$$$

Not a private lake.
This property is nice. It's not on a private lake like the listing says. It's more of a retention pond. The hot tub is not a six person tub. It's four people max comfortably. Overall it wasn't great, it wasn't bad.

Thank you for your compliments on the property, Nathan. We appreciate your observation regarding the body of water adjacent to the property. We looked into it and technically the features are known as “interdunal wetlands”, “dune slack,” or “interdunal ponds.” Because they are naturally occurring, they would probably not be considered a retention pond. They are, however, on private land and are not accessible by the public. The hot tub is sold as a “six-person” hot tub, and has six places to sit. But we are with you! Hot tubs of this size are much more comfortable for four people. We look forward to helping match you with the perfect vacation home for your next trip to Hatteras Island!

Not pet friendly as listed
My MIL really wanted a pet friendly home and that’s the reason we picked this place. When we went to book it’s listed in fine print that it’s no longer pet friendly. 10 pickets we’re not attached to the railing on the crows nest. There was a wire were a previous tenant attempted to secure them & another railing was not attached off the kitchen. The entire house only has sheer curtains over the windows in the bedrooms so the sun and headlights are a major issue when trying to put little ones to bed early or sleep in. The house is in a great location and a short 5min walk to the beach. There’s a FoodLion and Duck Donuts also in walking distance. The pool/hot tub are nice! The layout of the house works for multi families vacationing together. House had everything you could want for the kitchen but no shatter proof glasses. Would stay here again if they added blackout curtains.
