Local Guide

The Beach & Beyond

Insider tips from a family that's been here for generations.

Right in the Middle of Everything

Avon isn't Nags Head — it's quieter, more laid-back, and beautifully in the middle of it all. From our cottages, you're a short walk to fresh seafood, a quick drive to the grocery store, and a quarter mile from the Avon Fishing Pier. Here's what we recommend to first-time guests and what our returning families come back for year after year.

Right Across the Street 🦀

The Mad Crabber

Fresh seafood served just across the street from our cottages. It doesn't get more convenient — or more delicious — than that. A local favorite that our returning guests always look forward to.
