Cozy Fishing Cottage w/ water access, minutes from Hatteras National Seashore - Vacation rental home in Avon, NC

Freckled Dog Fishing Cottage
Cozy Fishing Cottage, located in the heart of Cape Hatteras National Seashore
We’ve fallen in adore with this comfortable bungalow and we think you will too. Conveniently located in Avon Village in the middle of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, it offers simple day trips to Oregon Inlet or Hatteras Village for deep sea fishing excursions or sightseeing trips to Cape Point, Hatteras Light or Ocracoke.
However, once you discover all that Avon has to offer, you might never want to leave! We are a short drive (5 mins.) away from public access to the National Seashore-discover and appreciate the beauty and the wildness of the Outer Banks. Shelling, fishing, swimming and surfing are mins. away. If kiteboarding and windsurfing interest you, the Freckled Dog is a 10 min. drive to Canadian Hole, famed for wind sports, on the sound side.
Having a canal in our backyard provides painless access for your kayak or paddle-board or just appreciating a peaceful view of the water from our all-season porch and our upper and lower decks. We are a short walk away from Avon Harbor, where you can take a fishing charter or family fun charter (Tightlinez) on the sound. The harbor is also a great spot for viewing sunsets or grabbing some oysters from Kinnakeet Oyster Company.
Got bicycles-bring them! The flatness of the National Seashore provides easy bicycle rides for everybody. Ride around the village of Avon and grab some ice cream. Or take a ride to the Avon Pier and check out what folks are catching. If longer rides interest you, ride all the way down to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and discover the grounds there.
Whether you spend your day playing in the surf and sand or just calming in the sun, you’ll savor peaceful evenings at the Freckled Dog, either on the porch with handsome nighttime vistas of the canal or tucked up inside, with the sounds of the ocean off in the distance.
You’ll want to get a good nighttime’s sleep in one of our four comfortable beds, so you’ll wake up in time to catch the sunrise over the ocean with your morning coffee, tea or juice and begin the fun all over again!
