About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Welcome to our new listing for 2021! Located on the west and east sides of a well-maintained condominium, our rental offers scenic views of the canal and landscaped backyard. We take very good care of the property, seeking to give our guests the best of both a home and a hotel. Either on the unit’s east or west decks, the pristine beaches, or by the pool, there is plenty of space to enjoy the sun in an area surrounded by nature.

Irida III is based on a theme. In recognition of the very long and storied history of indigenous culture on the Outer Banks, we created three rooms of photography – in effect three galleries – that tell a story of nature as presented to its denizens. As people have known for many centuries, part of the magic of the Outer Banks is its profound and diverse ecology that is both healing and inspiring. It is our pleasure to attempt to share a modern interpretation of what various cultures have experienced for easily a millennium.

Grocery shopping and numerous restaurants are all within a five-minute drive, and Ocean Air Sports – a leading watersports center on the outer banks – is next door. This area is one of the most popular kiteboarding and windsurfing locations on the entire east coast, and it is equally known for its fishing. A beautiful canal gives access to Pamlico Sound, or public access to the ocean beach is only a ten-minute walk away. Given the Outer Banks, concentration of federal and state protected lands, there is ample opportunity for nature-based recreation, and its history is legendary.

Our unit is one level and is located on the top floor, offering some spectacular views of the area. The unit has a full kitchen, and two full bathrooms. Cable television and internet are included, as well as access to the pool. A ground level storage unit is included, and is suitable for storing windsurfing, surfing, paddle boards, kiteboarding equipment. The unit can hold two bicycles.

We provide all linens, towels, and products needed for your vacation, and are honored to bring our guests as healthy a vacation experience as possible.

During your stay at this condo building, you're just a quick walk from Outer Banks Beaches. You'll find features like an outdoor pool. The condo includes amenities such as free WiFi and a private pool.

Some issues

The unit was nice and very clean as described. However, the owners did inform us we could not adjust the thermostat due to energy conservation. The unit was very warm, 78 was the normal temperature but at the local businesses the temperature was much cooler. Two nights it was so warm my child became sick. Also bring extra towels and wash cloths we only had 4 of each for 3 people the entire week. Had to go out and buy more.

Review from windsurfer

Very nice condo, comfortable and clean. The stairs not a problem for us but be aware it is the top floor. Property owners alerted us to some possible flooding since we were there during tropical storm Ophelia, which did happen but was not a problem as we followed their directions for where to park. We choose the place for the location and proximity to the windsurfing location. This is right where OBX-Wind is held and right next to Ocean Air shop. Windsurfer perspective on location - while it would be nice to have been up front in the large homes we were only two people so there was no point in getting a big place and this suited our needs. We met the renter of one of the homes up front and she was more than happy to have us launch from the grassy backyard. I imagined this would be the case and so if you’re coming to sail/kite I’m sure most people would do the same. Otherwise Ocean Air doesn’t mind if you launch from their area but then it’s a bit of a walk in the water to the wind line. We were impressed with the changing water level during the storm that started as a direct east wind. Once it changed to south it was a better direction to sail, so S,SW,N, or NW would probably be the best wind directions here. Would gladly rent again next windy weekend :)

Great Escape

Even for Labor Day weekend, the area was not crowded and almost felt like we was on a secluded island. The condo was very spacious and comfortable. All we had to provide was our personal items and our food. Beautiful view of the sound from the balcony in the morning while we enjoyed our coffee.

We loved this spot. We could walk to the beach and several local restaurants. The view from the balcony is exquisite. There are 4 flights of stairs so i was able to burn off the extra cocktail at dinner.

Family Vacation

The property was perfect. Location was convenient with just a short walk to the beach and the kids loved the pool. We really enjoyed the balcony and condo had plenty of space for our family of 4. Being third floor-it was a lot of stairs, but we knew that from other reviews and were prepared, so we didn’t mind. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Awesome View

The layout and interior decor is well done, the furniture is new and comfortable. Kitchen is set up nicely. The deck is private and has a lovely view of the properties dock and peninsula and bay. It is a 4 story walk up so if stairs are not your thing you may want to reconsider, However, the view is more spectacular from here.

Peaceful place with a beautiful view

We rented this place for our vacation in the Outer Banks. It was our 2 1/2 year old’s first trip to the beach, and we were looking for a place that was easy access to the beach, but also fairly secluded. This place fit the bill perfectly. We loved Avon. The condo was perfectly suited for our needs. There was a pool on the property, and public beach access across the street. The views of the sound from the balcony were awesome. We will definitely be back if they have us!

Nice and clean, good location. However, one drawback..

All was great, clean condo, nice view of the bay and a short 5-minute walk to the beach. However, this condo is listed as having a washer/dryer. If you look at details, you see it's a shared washer/dryer in a common room. No big deal but it should be made more obvious on the VRBO listing.
