Historic suite with a private hot tub!
Come and enjoy old Avon Village on a quiet one way street. The Surfstead suite offers an eclectic blend of island history, craftsmanship and comfort in one of the oldest houses on Hatteras island. There is a private deck and entrance leading into a living and dining area equipped with a Roku tv. Prepare your meals in the fully stocked kitchenette. The bedroom boasts a queen size bed with another Roku tv, and a full bathroom with a custom tile shower. A private hot tub too!This truly unique space has been my rehab passion for the past four years of my life and I look forward to sharing it with others. Built at the turn of the 20th century, the house has weathered many storms and with a lot of TLC she is ready to weather more. This unique space has all a traveling surfer or couple would need to enjoy all Avon has to offer. Centrally located, the beach is a 5 minute walk away as are numerous restaurants and epic sunset spots such as Avon Harbor. The suite is a completely private space, as is the outdoor shower and hot tub. Guests are free to enjoy the suite in its entirety including the private outdoor living space. Upstairs is my personal residence where I live solo since I finished the rehab circa 2019. Always quiet and tranquil, there is no other neighborhood quite like Scarborough Town own Hatteras island. I have laundry facilities upstairs which I am happy to share with guests if they find themselves in need to freshen up their boardies after a few long, hot days on the beach. Just ask!

Perfect for me traveling solo. The place was extremely clean. The towels were soft. The sheets were soft. The bed was extremely comfortable. It was the best bed I have ever had in renting places in OBX for 30 years. Everything I needed was there. About a 10-15 minute walk to the beach. My favorite seafood market in walkable distance. The deck was private. It was quiet. There is the pattering of feet during waking hours above that I got used to quickly. The neighborhood is quiet. The host is very kind and helpful. I was very happy with my stay.

Perfect night out
Avon is a nice, relaxed area and the suite we stayed in was perfect for a couple to stay in. We didn’t hear much noise from the house but got all of the information we needed through messages. We didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub because of a storm but it was clean and a good temperature when I checked.

Perfect for couple
We had a very nice stay, the place was perfectly matching the description and it was spotless. The location is great. The pace is small, but it’s the right size for a couple.

Cozy with character
This space is more than adequate for one person or a couple. It has everything you need. And it's just minutes from the grocery store, restaurants, a fishing pier, and the beach.

Great time.
The place was very clean and tidy. There was everything in the home that we needed. Cups, Pots, Pans, coffee, silverware, crockpot, towels, soap, toiletries etc. The hot tub was also very clean and nice to relax in. I’m sure we will be booking again next year at this same place. 10/10 recommend.

Great getaway
Daniel's place is brilliantly designed - beautiful and such a smart use of small space: complete with bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, dining room, living room area (although tiny), plus private deck and hot tub. Unfortunately it was too hot to use the hot tub, but it looked so inviting! As hot as it was outside, the small AC unit worked amazingly well! Also, the place was spotless - looked and smelled so clean. Very short drive to the pier/public beach access. Several great eating spots, especially "Muffins & Scones" and "Po House." Be sure to visit the United Methodist Church in the neighborhood - so welcoming and alive. My only negative comment is to warn folks that this place is not ideal for TALL people - I was fine at 5'8", but my husband is 6'3" and hit his head multiple times on the entrance to the bathroom. :)

Daniel is very attentive and responds quickly to all inquiries. He’s a great host making sure even the smallest details are taken care of (soaps, towels, cleaning materials etc). We enjoyed our short stay there and him being so accommodating. Great location!

Relaxing stay
Wanted to find somewhere close to the beach to celebrate Mothers Day. Was a peaceful stay and great especially for the price. A little small but thats what we were looking for. Perfect for one person or a couple. Hot tub was the best part of the property for sure!

Cozy, Warm, Convenient (and well stocked)
This little spot is perfect for one or two people. The neighborhood is very quiet and a great mix between close to everything and yet private. Yet still close to any and everything you might need (hint: Foggy Dog & Oceana's are must visits).
The kitchen area is fully stocked for anything you might want to whip up. I loved that the bed was fully made and all we had to do was walk in.
This place is a truly a labor love for the owner and it shows in every detail. It was very clean and just a cozy little place to be.
Quaint and cool property on a quiet street. Easy walks to beach and sound. Lovely place!
