The story

A real Hatteras Island beach town, not a boardwalk.

Avon sits in the quiet middle of Hatteras Island, 500 feet from the sand, a short bike ride from the lighthouse, and worlds away from the crowds up north. The Lost Loggerhead stands four stories tall, with ocean and sound views from the top floor, a fully stocked kitchen, and a garage full of beach gear, so your only job is to relax.

​We had a wonderful 4-day, 3-night stay here. It was such a memorable and pleasant experience for our family. First of all, the host was very responsive and helpful. The house was super clean and within walking distance to the beach. It was also very convenient, being just 3 minutes away from a grocery store. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway away from the crowds, this place is a great choice!

Great Airbnb in a more secluded area of OBX. Stephanie was very responsive and allowed us to check in early. The house was flawless and the best Airbnb I have stayed in. Many amenities and a welcome gift was great. Could not be more pleased.

It was perfect! The hosts were so helpful and had things for all the kids old and young to do. Don’t worry about overpacking things because they have just about anything you would need at their house. Thank you for helping make our family vacation awesome!

Enjoyed our stay. Definitely got a workout from the stairs but we knew about them in advance. Nice short walk to beach. Lovely views. Home was very well equipped with beach supplies (chairs & such) however due to weather we did not get to enjoy them to their max.! Would definitely stay here again.

Very nice location, short walk to beach even with a disabled daughter with us. Enjoyed seeing the sound and the ocean from the same spot on deck! Close to stores, gas, restaurants. Living room/kitchen area was top notch. Leather furniture was so comfortable. [One granddaughter slept there because it was so cool, it was a very hot week]. And if you like to cook like I do there was every spice in cabinet, blender, crockpot, airfryer, toaster, etc. Once we got Spectrum there, enjoyed the large TV.

The house was clean and beautiful. Kitchen was well stocked and good sized. Bedrooms were great and beds were comfortable. Only complaint was the beach access was difficult to traverse. There was a large dune we had to climb and it was difficult for some of us. Otherwise it was great and the beach was wonderful

This beautiful home is exactly as described…and it is loaded! Boogie boards, surfboards, beach wagon, beautiful bedrooms, a well-appointed kitchen and so much more. It was pure perfection for our family gathering of nine–ages 11 and up–and sooo close to the beach. Communication with the owners was excellent before and during our time here. We would love to stay here again!

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to Your Questions

How far is The Lost Loggerhead from the beach?

About 500 feet, a 2 to 3-minute walk to the nearest public beach access on Hatteras Island. It’s not oceanfront, but you’re on the sand in under five minutes, and the top-floor deck has ocean views of the Atlantic and sunset views over the Pamlico Sound.

What's included with the house? Do I need to rent beach gear?

No. Over $1,100 worth of gear is already on-site: 3 surfboards, 4 boogie boards, 2 stand-up paddleboards, 4 beach bikes, plus chairs, an umbrella, and a wagon. The kitchen is fully stocked with an oven, air fryer, dishwasher, blender, crock pot, and coffee, tea, and spices. There’s also a washer and dryer, so you can skip most rental costs.

How many people can stay, and what's the bed setup?

The home sleeps up to 10 across 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, with 8 beds total. Each of the four named rooms (Master Suite, Shark Room, Surf Shack, Bunk House) has a queen bed. It suits families, friend groups, or a quieter Outer Banks escape.

Do you have an EV charger and outdoor space?

Yes. The property has an EV charging plug. Outside, there’s a third-floor ocean-view deck, a new fire pit for s’mores, and both gas and charcoal grills. Inside, there’s an electric fireplace, Xbox and smart TV, plus giant Jenga and Connect 4 for downtime.

Can I work remotely from the house?

Yes. There’s a dedicated workspace with a desk, reliable wifi, and a printer, so checking in for work is doable if you have to.

What's nearby in Avon?

You’re under half a mile from a grocery store and local shops, close to the Avon Fishing Pier and charter boats, and about a mile from a top-rated East Coast kitesurfing spot. It’s a short drive to Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and the Ocracoke ferry. The street is quiet and mostly home to full-time residents, not a party area.
