The cleanliness and amenities are all anyone could ask for. Because of all the amenities we were able to pack light but still have everything we need. The property owners are great at communicating. The walk to the beach is a breeze. Each time we have stayed there have been improvements to make the visit even more enjoyable. We love the porches and widow’s peak and also had plenty of space to stay entertained during the couple rainy days. the neighborhood is great as well. We will be back!

This home was a perfect match for our family of 4\. Beds were super comfy and the outdoor amnesties were plenty. There were so many options to access the nature and beauty of this quieter stretch of OBX and we watched the sunrise on the beach every morning. We booked for 2 weeks next year 🌊🐢❤️ ##### sarah L.

I loved the screened in area with the swing. The beach was a short walk, not crowded, and beautiful. This was our first trip to the banks and without knowing what area to stay in, we were so happy we ended up in Avon and not Nags Head/Kitty Hawk area. (Too touristy looking and crowded for us) There are plenty of restaurants nearby if you don’t want to cook. We also visited the state park, all four light houses, Corolla for the day, and took the ferry to Ocracoke Island. Great trip! Thank for sharing your place. ##### Lana W.

Jul 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect beach house We could not have been happier with our stay. The house was better than expected. There were multiple upgrades completed to the house to our surprise. The greatest surprise was the outdoor shower. It is HUGE and had hot water. The house has 3 bedrooms: 1 queen, 1 full and a bedroom with a set of full bunkbeds. The bedroom with the queen has a bathroom attached, which was a lovely bonus. My favorite attraction was the screened in porch. My family spent so much time there as we were protected from the late night bugs and afternoon storms. Though this house is not "beach front" you truly have a 50ft walk until you reach the beach board walk. I have been to OBX 5 times. This was by far the nicest beach we've ever experienced. Overall, I can't say enough great things about Tidewatch. The owners were so kind and always let it be known that they were there for anything that we needed. I highly recommend this stay and cannot wait to get back:) ##### kate c. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Josh B. Jul 21, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spectacular location, great overall Overall great stay. Location is the best feature, 100 feet to beach walk way, quiet street, Avon is a wonderful town. Owners had great communication and quick to respond. You can tell they are working on continuing updates with the property as they go so I expect it will get nicer and nicer. New Concrete driveway was a big perk that I did not expect as it was not in pictures but it makes hosing down car, kids , kids toys etc from all the sand easy. Mattresses must have been updated from some previous reviews as they were soft and in good shape. Overall pretty updated and nicely decorated house with most things you would need. The one knock on my review was the cleaning crew did not do the best job but it is a pet friendly beach house and quick turnarounds so I do understand. There was some black dog hair left around on mattress sheets / floors and just a general quick clean as there was still dust, liquid stains etc (easily managed). It was a hot week and AC struggled a bit to keep back rooms cool. I would stay again and owners were notified of some of those very minor issues. I will also add that comparative to the pricing of others when looking around I feel the value at this place is great! ##### Josh B.

Aug 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best place for couples This was our 1st time in OBX, and we wanted a cottage close to the beach. I know when we were looking as to where to say i relied heavily on reviews. Tidewater is a cute, quiet cottage with everything you need. The beds are comfortable for the most part. Furniture is a little uncomfortable but it didn't matter since the beautiful weather kept us outside most of the time. The overlook on the roof is awesome, you can definitely see the ocean from there, even seen some deer! Be very careful though, it's super slippery when wet. The house was clean, for the most part, dryer didn't work, but clothesline was fine. Outside shower great for rinsing off sand. The bathhouse does have warm water. As for location, couldn't be more perfect. Beach was a quick and easy walk, it was more crowded than i thought it would be in mid August but it's so wide that there's pleanty of room. I found many neat things during my sunrise walks, such as sharks, jellyfish, shells, and orher things. Avon is a perfect area, more so for adult's. There isn't much there to keep young kids busy, you'd want to stay more north for activities. The drive to other areas, such as Nags Head, can be an inconvenience for those (like us) who don't want to spend most of the day driving. We had a wonderful experience and the owners were great with communicating! We definitely plan on staying again next year! ##### Jayne B.

Much nicer than I expected. Great location. We felt secluded, yet there was a grocery store nearby. ##### Jacqueline K. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Andrea C. Jul 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 1st time in Avon We loved our first trip to Avon! Super easy access to the beach. Really enjoyed the top deck views and the screen porch was the best! Kitchen was well equipped and had a great seating area for dining and family game night. However, the master bedroom has a very hard mattress and the living room furniture wasn't super comfortable for lounging with family. Overall, great stay! Would definitely stay here again. ##### Andrea C. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Larry M. Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy This house is absolutely filthy. Upon arrival on Saturday, I spent several hours wiping and sweeping. There was a door placard from Hatteras Helping Hands advising that the home had been "cleaned and inspected," and an envelope left for gratuity. Please see the photos of how "clean" the home actually was. Unfortunately, it was too late for a change of accommodations, as our family, who were joining us, had secured time away from their jobs and were traveling from a distance. The homeowner, the cleaning team, and VRBO should be highly embarrassed by this rental, as this is what they represented to paying customers. We will never use VRBO or stay at this home ever again, and would advise future renters to reconsider this home. It ruined our yearly family getaway. ![Debris swept from the three bedrooms. Including the toys found under the bunkbed.

May 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cold week at the OBX Our week was extremely chilly and wind between 30-40 mph most every day, and rain a couple of days. The house was great except for 2 things. It would have been nice to have hot water in the outdoor shower, and the living room furniture is very uncomfortable. Since the weather was so bad, we spent more time indoors than we normally would have and comfortable furniture would have been a plus. Overall the location of the house is great and the house is very well stocked with all your necessities. ##### Patsy K. Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven J. Aug 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Very nice beach house… Great beds, nice outside deck and widows’ peak upper deck. The kitchen had all the plates and glassware you could ever need. It was an all-around very comfortable house. ##### Steven J.
