Avon, NC

Avon is just what you would dream a small seaside town would be. Nice beaches, a great pier the kids would probably love throwing a line off of even if they don't catch a thing. Avon is very laid quaint and back; beautiful and serene. Take beach toys for the kids, some kites that is all they will need to be happy. The Hatteras lighthouse is not far down the road. Take the kids on the ferry over to Ocracoke and go to the little pirate shop called Teaches Hole.

Many of the restaurants, shops and markets are seasonal with many closing during the winter months and reopening the following Spring. Many of these same businesses are family-owned and not chain franchises.

Great stay in Avon
Just wanted to say our family vacationed in Avon last week and had a wonderful time. I had checked the message board many times for info before our trip. I found all info both helpful and correct. We booked through Hatteras Realty and had great service. With kids we didn't venture far from the pool or beach. Shopped at Food Lion and smaller grocery retailers and found prices to be ok. Gas prices seemed to also be average. All in all we thought it was a beautiful place for a family vacation. Thanks for all the helpful info. We are already planning a trip next year. Read More...

Hatteras or Duck/Corolla?
Planning a vacation to OBX and am trying to decide between Hatteras, Avon area or Duck/Corolla, with oceanfront rental in either location. From what I understand Duck/Corolla is newer and more residential and rentals seem to be more costly. Hatteras area appears to be less populated, and rentals less costly. I'm trying to determine the benefits or drawbacks to each area. A couple of specific questions I have are:

How long is drive to each area once you get over bridge? Are there enough 'large' grocery stores; video rentals and restuarants in each area? Is the beach area different in either area or access to beach from the homes (in things read on Hatteras rental descriptions don't mention 'private boardwalk to beach')? Any and all information would be appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Read More...
