KINNAKEET DUNES — where unobstructed ocean views, wide sandy beaches, and the laid-back spirit of Avon come together. Nestled at the end of a quiet street, this charming 4-bedroom, 3-bath oceanfront cottage offers a front-row seat to some of the Outer Banks’ most breathtaking sunrises and unforgettable coastal moments. Protected by a high dune and overlooking a wide stretch of beach, this home delivers the tranquility you’ve been searching for—while remaining close to all of Avon’s shops, restaurants, and attractions.
Expansive decks provide plenty of space to soak up the sun, enjoy your morning coffee with the sound of the waves in the background, or gather with family and friends for an evening of stargazing. After a day on the beach, the outdoor shower makes cleanup easy, while the hot tub offers the perfect place to unwind beneath the stars.
Inside, the two-level reverse floor plan is designed with both comfort and flexibility in mind. The home offers five rooms currently configured for sleeping or flexible use, while the septic system is permitted for four bedrooms. Four bedrooms are located on the first level and share two full hallway bathrooms, while an additional king bedroom is conveniently located on the top floor just off the kitchen. The fifth room offers wonderful flexibility and could easily serve as a kids’ media room, game room, office, reading nook, or additional gathering space—whatever best fits your needs. All five rooms feature Smart TVs.
The inviting great room creates the perfect gathering space for movie nights, games, and relaxing after a day in the sun. The well-equipped kitchen offers generous counter space and opens to a dining area with seating for eight, making family meals and entertaining effortless.
A walking path leads directly from the home to the beach, where days are made for surfing, fishing, beachcombing, and building sandcastles. When you’re ready to come in from the sand and surf, the outdoor shower makes cleanup a breeze before settling in for an afternoon nap or an evening in the hot tub.
KINNAKEET DUNES is not only a wonderful vacation retreat—it has also been a consistently popular rental destination, with a strong rental history and solid bookings from March through October over multiple years. Whether you're looking for a personal beach escape, a proven investment property, or the best of both, this home deserves a spot at the top of your list.
