The neighborhood
Get to know the area...
You'll be surrounded by local neighborhood streets that are great to stroll or bike around. Some of them are Outer Banks vacation rentals during the Summer, but many (west of the bypass) are year-round residents. We have a killer beach access at the end of our street, about a two minute walk away. There is no public parking so it's an especially nice, uncrowded access even at the height of Summer! Once on the beach & looking south, you'll see a neighborhood landmark- Avalon Pier. A short walk down the beach, there's an arcade, bar, fishing and lots of locals hanging out. From October 1st through April 30th, our beach access becomes a drive-on point for four wheel drive vehicles. Secure a beach driving & fishing permit from the town or local tackle shop and hit the beach in your 4x4! Nearby you'll find several eateries, shops & bars. Yoga, an open air fruit & veggie market, a barber shop, grocery stores, tacos and donuts are also nearby. We can't forget to mention the fabulous sunsets on the west side of the bypass, just a short walk or bike ride away.
Sweet Stuff in walking distance...
We've been told we have the best smoothies & acai bowls on the beach and when you Stay at Mom's, they'll be right downstairs! We also offer house made cold brew coffee to get your day jumping, and delicious milkshakes and ice cream for your nightly sweet tooth craving. If a latte or cortado is more you're style, walk next door to grab your favorite cup at our friend Ashley's Espresso Parlor where they also sell craft beer and wine. In walking distance you'll find Henry's across the street for breakfast, a local legacy. Diner style- not fancy, but the staff is friendly, food is southern, quick and cheap You'll see lots of old timers starting their day. For lunch or dinner you can find craft burgers, oysters, and a nice beer and bourbon selection nearby at Two Roads Tavern. There's a yoga studio & a fresh fruit & veggie market in walking distance. Have we already mentioned the ocean is just two blocks away?
Go on an adventure...
Looking for laid back fun? Hit up the mini-putt across the street; they also have a decent arcade. If nature is more your thing, you can enjoy the fabulous birding & walking trails our area offers. There's nothing quite as relaxing as a stroll on the beach; spot ghost crabs at night or enjoy an epic sunrise in the morning. At sundown, bike across the street to take in one of the world's best sunsets at the sound, watching the sun dip below the water as it sets. On nearby Bay Drive, you'll find a bike path that goes for miles in either direction and will lead you to several soundside parks where you can take in "the other side of the beach". Information on fishing charters, kayak tours, standup paddle boarding, yoga, surf lessons & more are available upon request.
