  • New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests

    Treat your family to a getaway that will be As Good As It Gets! Adventures are guaranteed at this soundside home in South Avon's quiet Askin's Creek subdivision. The ground level has ample parking, a carport, an outdoor shower, charcoal grill and an under-house entry. The first floor features a private bedroom with a queen bed, a bathroom, and a nearby laundry area. The second floor houses three bedrooms. The second bedroom is a large master suite with a king bed, a private bathroom, and deck access. The third and fourth bedrooms have deck access and are close to a bathroom and the formal entry.

    Sit back and relax in the hot tub, which is easily accessible on the top deck. The spacious great room is almost too good to be true, with tall ceilings, a half-bath, upscale furnishings, and an entertainment center with surround sound and more than 150 videos. Family nights will flourish in the full kitchen with a breakfast bar and a nearby dining area. Wide sun decks catch the best sunsets with views 24-7. The fifth bedroom is an expansive master suite with a bathroom and deck access. With a perfect vacation design and a fabulous location with postcard views, this vacation destination is truly As Good As It Gets!

Great stay!

This home was perfect for our vacation. Very comfortable for our group of 7. Notable things are the spacious living and dining area and easy check in and out process. Its a short walk to the beach and a short drive to the grocery store. Would recommend for any larger groups, and would definitely stay here again my self.

The views and sunsets were amazing! Especially watching it from the hot tub on the top deck! Spacious for many people and my dogs were happy to be able to run around the deck. Close to the beach! We enjoyed our stay as a family of 6 + 2 dogs

Close to beach!

The house was within easy walking distance to the beach. My dog loved lounging in the sun on the deck, and the hot tub was great. Beds were comfortable. Certain areas of the home could have been cleaner on arrival. Overall a nice stay!

House great but Vacasa lacking.

The location was great and the house was fine. If you are staying more than 2 or 3 days make sure to bring or be prepared to buy paper towels, garbage bags, dishwashing soap, etc

Better than expected

The cleanliness and the accommodations this house provided were awesome, I expected to find signs of previous tenants with pets, damaged and stained furniture, broken fixtures for the rental rate of the home, but nope everything was clean and worked as it should. Very impressed and will definitely book again.

Large spacious home

The home was large and great location . There was flooding in the driveway, which is no fault of the owner . It had rained a lot the previous week . So getting in and out of the house was challenging.

Great Beach House

Plenty of rooms and bathrooms! Hot tub on top deck was perfect. Big living room with lots of space and the kitchen was fully loaded with pretty much everything you need if you like cooking for the group. Big dinning room table. Lots of decks. Decks galore! Even a screened in section to keep the bugs out. You can walk to the beach or just drive across the street and park at ramp 38 if you’re feeling lazy. Definitely recommend!!! Thanks guys!

Fantastic Getaway

We came here for my daughter’s Spring Break week from Virginia as a little family getaway before going to my sister-in-laws beach rental later in the week. I went in not expecting much from my last minute booking for this property. This home exceeded my expectations. The house itself is livaoi

Beautiful home in OBX perfect for large family

We loved having enough bedrooms and bathrooms for every one. We loved the collection of VHS/DVD’s available for when it rained and late nights. Really fun blasts from the past. We loved the big windows in the living room, the large deck, we loved having the fully stocked kitchen and large refrigerator, as well as long dining table to fit all 10 of us. This house gave everyone enough space to be able to have their own space, which is important with teenagers.

Great House and Great Maintenance Response

We really enjoyed our stay. There were a few small issues day 1 that maintenance responded to immediately. They were quick and friendly. The house it's self had a good layout and decent bedding. The water was hot for the shower so that was great. Water pressure was decent. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all week.
