Hooked on Beach Life #16-AC: Dog-Friendly, Ocean View, Shared Pool
New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.
Enjoy a super ocean view lot in quiet Askin's Creek, just one house back from the ocean. Hooked on Beach Life is a mere stone's throw from the ocean's edge and one of the closest homes to the Canadian Hole windsurfing area. It's also well-centered on Hatteras Island, convenient to local shops, & it's Pet-Friendly!
The short 100-ft walk over the direct ocean access to the beachfront will delight anyone who has ever lugged a beach chair, cooler or child to the water. It also features beautiful views from its wide two-level decks and plenty of privacy with a large lot & in a neighborhood with a single street!
The ground level has an ample, concrete parking area. This level also features an outdoor shower, a charcoal grill & a bar for entertaining, a fish-cleaning station for those fish you bring home, and a large lot where you can relax in the shade (or sun), play some corn-hole, or walk your dog!
The first level has three spacious bedrooms - two with king-beds & balconies overlooking the ocean, and the third has a full-size bed plus a set of bunk-beds for the kids. Each bedroom features a TV with DVD players & plenty of storage areas. This level also includes a bathroom, a laundry area, and comfortable furnishings.
On the top level, Hooked on Beach Life pays homage to the beautiful ocean view location with a grand prow-front design that allows great views of the beach and sunrises. This level has a large great room with cathedral ceilings, plenty of glass and warm wood accents and new leather seating; another bathroom, and a screened porch. We've also added a Shuffleboard Table! This is also where you will find a well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar and a dining area that can handle light hors d'oeuvres or family-size meals in style. You can also enjoy a Sunset view from the kitchen window! You will be required to sign an additional lease agreement upon making a booking, which will be sent to your email. You will not be able to check in until we have received your signature electronically. Please contact us directly if you do not receive this agreement.
Please note: Guests have access to the Club Hatteras Pool Facility. Additional details around this facility will be shared in your check-in email and during the check-in process. The club is typically open mid-May to mid-October, depending on weather.

Great place to getaway and relax
The house is set up so nicely and has everything you need to have a relaxing stay at the beach. Quiet area with limited traffic coming through and easy walk over the dunes to the beach. Great views from the upper decks make evenings on outside great!

Lovely getaway
Great location with easy access to the beach. Overall a nicely maintained house within . Be prepared to bring your own beach gear as there was none stored at the guest for guest use.

Great location, beautiful house
We stayed at Jesemy for a week and could not have had a better experience. The beach was barely a minute's walk from the front door, and we could see the ocean from our deck. The kitchen was well-stocked with utensils, the A/C was robust, the rooms were a good size and two had access to a deck, and the house was very close to Food Lion. Great stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hooked on Beach Life! The house is spacious and was very clean, the kitchen has all the utensils you could ask for, and the views from the deck were great! The beach never got crowded, and we enjoyed the sunsets from Canadian Hole, just a five minute drive away.

Great location but needs updating and cleaning!
The beach access was close save there was a glimpse of ocean view but the road noise spoils the sound of the ocean, the furnishings are outdated and the house is dirty, probably for to the policy of guests vacuuming and putting away dishes at check out. Needs some TLC and regular deep cleaning.

Hi Erika,
Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to share your review. We sincerely apologize that the closed beach access, road noise, outdated furnishings, and cleanliness of the home did not meet your expectations. We understand how these factors can affect the enjoyment of your stay. Please be assured that we take your concerns seriously and will work with our local team to ensure the property receives the attention and thorough cleaning it needs to provide a comfortable and welcoming environment for our guests. We truly appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for a much better experience.
We loved this house, everything was well stocked especially the kitchen. The only downside is the parking. It’s a pretty steep driveway with hardly enough room to open doors. One bathroom on the same floor as bedrooms and one upstairs. Other than that, I would stay again and recommend it for a large family or two couples.

Wonderful home and amazing views!
To us, this home was out of this world!! We enjoyed every moment of our stay at Hooked on Beach Life. It is thoughtfully stocked with everything you will need during your stay and beach access is so close and wonderful we didn't even use our driving permit beachside this year!
We were hoping to finally make this house our home for every year we loved it so much, but the dog limit changed ☹️ That is truly the only bummer of the entire wonderful property! That and it's managed by Vacasa now 😑

Nice stay!
If you are on the fence about booking this place because of the reviews BOOK IT! The pros: proximity to the beach is literally across the walkway, the home was verrrrryyyy clean, plenty of room for the kiddo was actually surprised by the size of the unit the pictures don’t do the listing justice it’s bigger in person, tons of appliances and cookware. The Cons: the furnishings are dated, the sofa 100% needs to be replaced has tons of stains and pet hair, minor cosmetic imperfections, the beach IS literally across the walkway but climbing the dunes will be a challenge I would suggest driving onto the beach which is less than a 2 minute drive. Lots of spiders but not because of a lack of cleanliness the house is nestled in a wooded area so to be expected. Overall a nice stay! Thank you for having us

Hi, Mozaffar. Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re glad the home’s cleanliness, spaciousness, and proximity to the beach exceeded your expectations. We appreciate your honest feedback about the furnishings and natural surroundings, and we’ll share this with our team to help improve future stays. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back soon!
Hooked on Beach Life was a great little beach house suited for around 6-8 people. We had 3 couples in all on our vacation, and the property was perfect for what we needed. The house came stocked with all the necessities and was in great clean condition when we arrived. It's located smack dab in the middle of Avon and is very close to a Food Lion, Ace Hardware, and various food shops. Beach access is right next to the house, taking 30 seconds to get to the beach. It was the perfect location and it made the vacation that much better. I'd definitely consider renting this house again in the future.

Cute and up to date. Sofas and dining table could be replaced! Also a screen door on the screened in porch would have been nice.
They did replace outdoor shower head at our request.

We passed your comments along to our local manager to review and we appreciate guests’ preferences as a means to continually improve. We look forward to hosting your next stay!
The house was great and close to the beach. Any issues that we had were taken care of quickly. We needed more towels and a new coffeemaker and both were sent within an hour. The only issue we had was the check in time. The listing first listed 4:00 so we made our arrival time based on that. It was then changed to 6:00 so we had to wait until later before the key code worked.

Hooked on Beach Life
The cottage was very comfortable. I really appreciated the linens, towels, paper towels, dish soap, etc. All cottages we have visited before didn't include these items.
However, the kitchen cabinets needed cleaning. I know it can't be helped, but there was alot of street noise. The kitchen pipe leaks, and the downstairs bathtub hardly drains.
A great addition would be a dumb waiter to get the luggage up all those steps 😄.
Overall though, it was very relaxing, comfortable and the view was excellent. We certainly enjoyed our stay at "Hooked on Beach Life".
The house was dirty - carpet stained every where. Drapes that were stained and ripped - sofa stained - thank goodness we brought our own linens and a sheet to put over the sofa. Didnt cook or use the kitchen. Ate out. Floors dirty - could go on but. managment Company hard to get a hold of. Read your reviews before renting.

Needs Maintenance
Place looked great online but not so great in person. Here’s why:
1. Living room curtains need to be thrown away. Very worn, damaged and aesthetically nasty to look at.
2. Carpet has lots of stains and needs to be cleaned or replaced. If you’re going to allow pets and charge for it, then use those funds to clean/repair damages.
3. Water in bathrooms smell like rotten eggs. It’s not fun to take a shower and have to hold your breath.
4. Fitted king sheets looked homemade, which would have been fine except it was way too small for the bed. If renters are required to make beds on arrival, property owner should provide appropriate linens.
5. Screened door torn and allowed critters inside.
We were disappointed about the condition of this house and would not stay here again.
