Soundside Home w/ Private Pool, Game Room, Basketball, and Nearby Beach Access

SOUNDSIDE Avon – Kinnakeet Shores – Tucked away in the serene seclusion of a private cul-de-sac, CREATIVE IMAGE emerges as a premier island sanctuary meticulously reimagined for the 2026 season. This four-bedroom/two-full and one-half-bath home offers an unparalleled coastal lifestyle, defined by its prime location just a short, breezy walk to the shoreline via the dedicated community boardwalk.

The outdoor oasis designed for the elite vacationer welcomes guests to bask in the sun on the expansive pool deck or retreat to the custom under-house tiki bar and lounge area—a sophisticated addition perfect for shaded relaxation. Every level of the home now boasts brand-new decking, offering seamless transitions between the salt-kissed air and the refined interiors, ensuring that the sound of the waves is never out of reach.

The second level serves as a refined sanctuary, hosting four thoughtfully appointed bedrooms designed for ultimate restoration. The queen master offers a secluded escape and features a private en-suite bath. Guests may choose their own haven among three additional retreats, including a king bedroom and two queen bedrooms, all of which have been upgraded with new Smart TVs for personalized entertainment. A second full bath is perfectly positioned to serve the guest rooms, complemented by an additional conveniently located bathroom on the upper level.

The heart of the home on the third level has been elevated with a complete interior refresh. The great room serves as the ultimate gathering hub, anchored by plush new sofas. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the well-equipped kitchen and the adjacent dining area, featuring a dining set and barstools to accommodate the entire group. After a day spent exploring the nearby beaches, the fourth level game room loft provides a high-energy escape with foosball and a 70” Smart TV, all while offering commanding views of the Atlantic horizon just beyond the shoreline.

This house was exactly what we needed. The location was amazing! The pool was the perfect size and the interior of the house was beautiful. We would absolutely stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Apon arrival at the property the outside of the home is weathered and deteriorated. Unfortunately, that is the same impression the interior of the home gave as well. The lay out and amenities of the home DO NOT equal what the weekly rental cost is. This home is not near the sound access, you will have to ride your bike through most of the neighborhood or drive and park to access the sound. The walk to the beach is short if you use the bridge over the pound. We were most unhappy with the cleanliness of the home. Not only did the home appear uncleaned by the property management company (Surf or Sound) the furniture in the home is stained and covered in dog hair. I had to request extra sheets to cover the furn

Great cottage for family

First, I want to say that this is the cleanest home I have ever stayed in for vacation. It was more than enough space for the 4 adults and 4 children that went. The pool was great. It was a nice pool for kids because it wasn’t extremely deep, but also perfect for adults too. The outdoor bar was a nice place to be for evening chilling and grilling. The kitchen had a lot of space for cooking and eating.

great time!

We were very pleased with our stay! The location was perfect! We were disappointed that when we first booked, there was a hot tub, but there was none at the house. Also, we didn't get to check in until long after we were originally told we could, due to cleaning issues. However, the ppl who actually cleaned the house were super sweet and did a great job. All in all, it was a wonderful trip!

Can't trust Surf and Sound Realty, don't rent Creative Image#947

Extremely disappointed in this house. There is a major moisture issue and the house was infested with ants. Most of the decks and outdoor furniture, what little they had, was covered with black mold and unstable. Our 4 month old grand-daughter had to sleep in her car seat because her porta-crib was covered in ants within 30 minutes of setting it up. The entire bedroom floor was damp and rain water poured in the master bathroom window. All 4 of our cars became infested with ants and several of us got sick. One family member came home with a serious sinus infection. We have been vacationing in the Outer Banks for 21 years and we have never have had such a horrible experience. Can't trust Surf and Sound Realty's poor judgement to take our money and offer this house for rent!

Nice but I wouldn't go back

Advertised a hot tub but it was broken. Advertised an outdoor shower but it was unusable. Coffee maker broken. Master shower wouldn't drain. Needed more outdoor chairs. I expect a beach house to be a beach house, but we should have had those things. I loved the pool and location. Easy walk to beach and a few eateries.
