About this property

The Sand Jewel: Oceanfront, Private Hot Tub, Pool Access

New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.

Say hello to this beautiful Island hideaway. Relax and kick back in The Sand Jewel, an updated, well-maintained, 3,800-square-foot oceanfront home in exclusive Kinnakeet Shores.

The ground level has concrete parking with three carports, a fish-cleaning station, an outdoor shower, a new basketball hoop, and a beach boardwalk. The first level has a furnished game room with a refinished pool table, a foosball table, and an entertainment center.

On the second level, enjoy oceanfront views from two bedrooms with private access to the sizeable furnished wraparound with a porch swing. Two primary bedrooms also have deck access, including one with a private bathroom with a roll-in shower, grab bars, and a roll-up vanity. You'll want to unwind in the sunken hot tub just outside these rooms on the covered deck. The laundry area has a convenient washer/dryer.

As you reach the third level, enjoy the great room with vaulted ceilings, a half-bath, a wet bar with a new under-counter fridge, and miles of oceanfront glass. This spacious room features upscale furnishings, tile, and updated beach decor, highlighting the living and entertainment area loaded with a digital widescreen TV for everyone to enjoy. The well-equipped kitchen has stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops and glass backsplash, a large bar, and a captivating oceanfront dining area. The third main bedroom features a Jacuzzi tub.

Melt in the wide 10-foot furnished sundecks, prepare your favorite burgers, steaks, and seafood on the new gas grill, or cool down under the covered deck. The picnic table provides the perfect place to share your favorite grilled seafood or a bushel or two of crabs!

Additional interior amenities include an elevator from the ground level, beach gear, and a great collection of board games.

When you need a break from the beach, enjoy access to the Club Hatteras pool and tennis court. The Sand Jewel is the perfect place to relax with family and friends on your next Hatteras Island vacation, with close beach access, gorgeous ocean views, and plenty of amenities!

Joint birthday trip

Couldn’t have been happier with our stay! 9 of us stayed here to celebrate our collective 30th birthdays and it was just as described. Conveniently located next to the steps to the beach and the added ease of the elevator made getting everything in and out of the house a breeze

Great location, but house had issues

The view of the ocean from the big family table is spectacular. The beach access can't be beat, with fireworks in view on the Fourth of July. Access to restaurants and groceries is excellent, and the house is spacious.

Wonderful vacation!

We enjoyed our yearly beach trip! This house is right on the beach with a public beach access on the property! The kitchen is fully stocked and we loved that toilet paper and paper towels and linens were provided! There were several mini fridges which were nice for extra drinks! Amazing views from all of the decks! We loved the gas grill! The grocery store was within walking distance and right next to Duck Donuts!

We were fishing the Cape Hatteras Anglers Club tournament, so this was our base. Good parking. Very clean. Excellent wifi. Plenty of kitchen utensils. Plenty of toilet paper, which has not been the case at houses managed by other rental companies. Maintenance very responsive to the two issues we experienced. Would recommend.

Family had an amazing time. House was great and an excellent value for our money. Would definitely recommend and stay again should we make a return trip. Would book though Outer Beaches in a second. Lots of space, very clean, perfect location. TVs in bedrooms were great for the kids and fully stocked kitchen made eating in a great option so money could be spent on other experiences.

Fantastic house

This house has a great location, easy access to the beach, and it is well taken care of. The only “complaint” I would have is that you have to walk around the house to use the outdoor shower when coming off the beach to clean off before coming inside. Otherwise everything was fantastic.

Very nice house! I only wish we could afford to stay in a place like this in the summer. Coming in November was nice but probably a one-off that we could only do because of remote schooling. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Good but cold be better

Ant problem throughout the house. Top floor never got above 76 degrees and had to have a window unit put in bedroom. No blinds on windows so hose stayed hotter than necessary and very bright in the morning at 5-6am. Mini fridges didn’t keep anything cold. Main Fridge froze many of our items. Elevator broke and had to have someone come fix it. Not enough towels and washcloths for each bedroom. No towels or scrubby in the kitchen. Beach location was great!
Response from VrboOwner on 9 July 2025
Hi, Jill. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I’m truly sorry for the inconveniences you experienced with the ant problems, temperature issues on the top floor, lack of window blinds, malfunctioning mini fridges and main fridge, elevator breakdown, and the shortage of towels, washcloths, kitchen towels, and scrubby. We sincerely apologize for any discomfort this may have caused during your stay. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the condo’s fantastic beach location. Please know that our maintenance team promptly installed a window unit to help with the temperature on the top floor and provided an explanation of the geothermal central air system. They also brought two additional sets of towels and assisted in showing you how to properly use the TVs. I’m happy to confirm that all reported issues have been addressed and resolved. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for bringing these matters to our attention. We hope to welcome you back for a flawless stay in the future.

Good but could be much better

House was great but could have been better. Not enough towels and washcloths in bathrooms. No hand towels or scrub pads in kitchen. Ants all throughout the house. Elevator broke day one and had to have someone come fix it. A/C on top floor never got cooler than 76 degrees. No shades on the windows to keep out the heat. Had to have them put a window unit in master on top floor bc of the heat. Mini fridges were not cold at all. Location was great and beach was too. Just needs a little help with cleaning services and making sure everything works before next tenant.

Loved the house. Great space, up to date, attentive service. Elevator did not work but we were compensated for that and stayed anyway. You need the elevator :). The only downside was the lack of towels (only one per bathroom). Owner does a great job of having about everything you could want including cable tv, internet, Netflix, kitchen equipment and other services. Also a great sound system with the tv. BBQ grill and telescope look good but both are shot and no longer working. Take binoculars to watch the dolphins. Also saw a couple of whales. Would certainly stay there again!

Do not stay in a Vacasa home in (OBX)Avon, NC!!!

I hated the fact that we were told we could get into the house at 5pm when we actually were waiting until almost 7pm. I hated the fact that the property manager knew there was a problem with the freezer opening and they still took our money. I hated the fact that after multiple attempts to fix the freezer, we still had our food trapped in it more than once. I hated the fact that we had to have strangers in the house to fix it while we were trying to relax. I hated the fact that the hot tub jets didn't work very well. The location of the house was spectacular, but the shape it was in was tired. I would not recommend this house or Vacasa at all. I was told by the property manager that he would consider compensation, but of course heard nothing. You ruined my vacation!!!
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Sept 2024
Hello, Margaret! Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced during your stay. We understand how frustrating the delayed check-in and freezer problems were; unfortunately, the freezer issue resurfaced unexpectedly, and we acted quickly to resolve it. Regarding the cleaning, we do our best to maintain high standards, but sometimes unforeseen circumstances arise. We appreciate your understanding and will work to improve communication and maintenance for future guests. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future and provide you with an even better stay!

Family Vacation

Kitchen was stocked well and had anything you needed. Freezer was an issue; the door would not open up. Maintenance came right away and looked at it and fixed so you could open. Everything stayed iced up and frosted over all week. It was a mess. The house did accommodate us well. There were 10 of us and everything was very comfortable. Fish cleaning table was in a weird place. you had to go through the house to get to it. No water hose available out front. Was at fish cleaning area so anything needing washed off had to be carried through the house. Its name is true It is the Sand Jewel. Sand everywhere. lol. We had to do a lot of cleaning to the floors on arrival and every day. The living room TV was the only tv you could watch. All others you had to have log in to your on Hulu, Netflix, etc.
