Thank you for staying at the Tommy Bahama House! We appreciate you taking such great care of things and communicating any needs you had! You were wonderful guests and ones we would have back in a heartbeat!!
This house in Avon was awesome. It met our needs well being close to the beach, having an amazing kitchen, and having a bathroom with each bedroom. Avon is a nice and quiet Hatteras Island town and a perfect location for a beach vacation. Thank you

You were great guests to have at the Tommy Bahama House in Avon! Guests who stayed at the house the week before left some things behind and Tim was instrumental in getting those things back to the owners. Very trustworthy and helpful. His communication was appreciated too. Would definitely welcome you and your family back anytime!
This lovely family friendly vacation home was more than roomy for 6 adults and 10 children. The kitchen was fully stocked and the double appliances made meals and clean up efficient.

We loved hosting your family and appreciate you sending a few of the pictures you took while you were there! Thanks again for being such a great group!
This house is huge! There were 16 adults and plenty of room to spare. The owner is fabulous to work with and wants you to have the best time possible while there. This part of the island has deep dunes so the walk is longer than you expect but the empty beaches are worth it!
Beautiful home. Ann was super responsive. We had a couple issues, neither of which she could control, but she did her best to help us have a great time.

Your family members were great guests! Thank you for Communicating when things like the air conditioner wasn’t pumping out as it should! Glad we got that fixed! Again, thank you for letting us know when there was a need!
The property was very well maintained (except for a little issue with the grill). The pool was crystal clear and refreshing and we used the fire pit several nights. The house was well decorated and the kitchen better stocked with utensils and tools than any place we’ve ever stayed. My only critique would be that the shower head in the master bath. You have this HUGE shower which is beautiful but a tiny little head that just doesn’t do it justice.

We loved hosting you and your family and appreciate the communication you had when you had a concern! Thank you for the information on the showerhead! We will replace it with a larger one in July! Thanks again for being such great guests and for staying at the Tommy Bahama house in Avon!
Our stay was great. The house was perfect for us. The layout is great, it was very clean, every room has a connected bathroom so you don’t have to share with anybody and plenty of half baths for people to use on the main floors. The kitchen/living room/balconies had plenty of seating for our group of 13. The kids and adults loved the pool, the hot tub and the putting green outside. The outdoor showers were equipped with hot water making it more comfortable to get all the sand off after the beach. The beach was about a 5 min walk to the beach access then another 5 mins across the steps over the dunes. It wasn’t too bad since we did a beach setup so we carried less. The kitchen was very well stocked with 2 of basically everything. The bathrooms all had bar soaps and toiletries that were a lovely added touch. The owner was super responsive, lovely and helpful. She did anything she could to help make our stay better.

We loved having your family stay and appreciate your positive review! You were great guests who communicated well and took care of things while you were there! We are so glad you chose the Tommy Bahama House for your stay!!! We would definitely welcome you all back for another stay!
This home was ideal if for our family! It is well appointed and the kitchen is phenomenal! Two cooks in the kitchen is a gift!! We loved how close it was to coffee and ice cream and an arcade!! Ann was super easy to work with and communicated thoroughly and was easy to reach. We really didn’t have a single issue the whole week!! The elevator was essential for my in laws to get from their bedroom on the top floor to the pool. The pool area was perfect for our all-day hangout!! The fridge that’s just inside the door of the bottom floor made it super easy to retrieve drinks and that bathroom with a door to the pool was a nice touch!! We loved it and would definitely refer a friend!!

About the host
Hosted by Ann Ross
We are from Nebraska and spend our time in the summer swimming and boating with our large family. We love attending sporting events and can be found in the gym during the winter months watching many of our family members coaching basketball. We enjoy connecting with our adult children and their growing families. Hosting gives us the opportunity to open up our home so families have an opportunity to re-connect on vacation and create wonderful memories.
Why they chose this property
The Outer Banks is a place my husband can recall visiting when he was a young boy. As a family man, he wanted to continue the tradition and give his family the opportunity to see all the Outer Banks has to offer. Avon is a wonderful place to visit. It is peaceful and the sunrises and sunsets cannot be beat.
What makes this property unique
The backyard stands out - it's such an oasis - a place to come to after a long day at the beach. There are so many things to do in the backyard, but one can also take in all the sights and sounds and relax in this backyard. It offers so much for any guest looking to recharge from the busyness of life. The home was created to house a lot of people. It is spacious, yet easy to get around. The top level is one of my favorite things about the house. Guests can enjoy prepping meals together. There can never be too many cooks in this kitchen!
