About this house rental
SHELLS YEAH!
*SPECIAL DISCOUNTED RATE HAS BEEN ADDED FOR JULY 5-12, 2026!*
*COMMUNITY OLYMPIC-SIZED POOL, KIDDIE POOL, PICKLEBALL, AND TENNIS COURT ACCESS JUST A FEW MINUTES DRIVE AWAY!*
In addition to the weekly rate, there is a booking fee and tax. Additional OPTIONAL fees include a pet fee (if you are bringing any dogs), optional hurricane protection for mandatory evacuations (if you want to protect your vacation), or towel and comforter rental fees (if you don't want to bring your own). If you want to add any of these options, please ask us for a correct final quote before making a reservation request. Thanks!
If you are looking for pristine, unspoiled beaches, a beach access just a minute's stroll away, and relaxing on the screened porch listening to the sound of waves crashing into the seashore, look no further than Shells Yeah!
Located oceanside in Avon on Hatteras Island, at Shells Yeah! you will feel like you have escaped the rest of the world, even though every modern amenity you could need is at your fingertips.
You are just a few minutes drive away from community pool and pickleball and tennis court access, restaurants, shopping, outdoor activities, Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, 4x4 beach driving, a fishing pier, charter fishing boats, and a quick drive to the free ferry that will whisk you off to Ocracoke Island for a day trip to explore the quaint island and search for Blackbeard's lost treasure. The only full size grocery store on Hatteras Island, Food Lion, is conveniently only 2 miles away.
Shells Yeah! is a minute's stroll from a beach access that will beckon you to Avon's widest, white sandy, uncrowded beach. There are no busy streets to cross on your half-block journey down our quiet street aptly named Ocean Lane. A second beach access is just another ½ block down. With no public beach parking nearby, you are sharing the beach only with those within walking distance.
If you are unfamiliar with Hatteras Island, you will enjoy our 72 miles of unspoiled beachfront, consistently voted one of the top 10 best beaches in the US. Because of our proximity to the Gulf Stream (which touches the tip of Cape Hatteras) and the island’s unique shape, we enjoy the most temperate year round climate north of Florida and our ocean temperatures are up to 10 degrees warmer than northern OBX villages like Nags Head and Duck. The island’s remote location and low light pollution also mean that you can wish upon plenty of stars and even the Milky Way at night. Shooting stars are a common sight!
Need a break from the ocean? Shells Yeah! guests are treated to community Olympic-sized pool, kiddie pool, and pickleball and tennis court access just a few minutes' drive away! The pools are open from mid May to late September and the pickleball and tennis courts are open year round. You can work on your tan poolside now in addition to oceanside, and take a break from the waves and swim in calmer waters!
Our 1/4 acre property is among the biggest oceanside lots in Avon, and we sided Shells Yeah! in a classic beachy yellow. There is plenty of space to park and 2 entrances to the house. We have a charcoal grill for outdoor cooking, a private outdoor shower with hot and cold water for rinsing off, and a fish cleaning table with a water line in case you get lucky and catch the big one.
We have a Stair Tamer cargo lift, so you can save your stamina for long walks on the beach and send your groceries and luggage up to the house level at the push of a button.
Shells Yeah! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and sleeps up to 10 vacationers (8 adults) with true comfort (no sofa beds or futons here). There are ceiling fans in every room. We have flat screen smart TVs (no cable service) in the living room and bedrooms for the occasional rainy day. Our decorations are one of a kind, and you are encouraged to have your picture taken with our mascot Captain Shells Yeah! and his trusty sidekick Perch.
The living room is designed with your comfort in mind. We have 3 comfy sofas so that everyone can spread out. We have a flat screen smart tv and a skylight for extra sunshine.
The open concept continues into the kitchen. We installed new stainless steel appliances including a side by side refrigerator, electric flat top stove, microwave oven, and dishwasher. There are plenty of dishes, silverware, and utensils should you wish to stay in for meals instead of partaking in the island's creative restaurants. We have both a standard coffee maker and a Keurig, for those who enjoy their coffee at the push of a button.
In the dining room you will find an oak table with seating for six and sliding glass doors that open onto a spacious deck with chairs for seating or sunbathing. If it's a full house, there is additional seating at the picnic table on our 22x10 screened porch located just off the dining room, as well as two sturdy gliders and additional seating.
The master bedroom includes a master bathroom with shower and plenty of closet and dresser space for the true fashionistas. We selected a top of the line king mattress for your ultimate comfort, and a chair will provide seating while you slip on your flip flops. Topping it off is a flat screen smart tv.
The second bedroom is furnished with a queen bed, seating, dresser space, and a flat screen smart tv.
The third bedroom is furnished with a full size bed, dresser space, and a flat screen smart tv.
The fourth bedroom is furnished with a full size bed, bunk bed, closet and dresser space, and a flat screen smart tv.
The high efficiency washer and dryer are conveniently inside the house, and centrally located so everyone has equal access to cleaning their beach attire.
Rounding it out is the second bathroom in the hallway, with a bathtub/shower combo.
Best of all, your beds will be made and ready for you when you arrive, at no extra cost! No need to fill your car with bedding for 10 people or pay sky high rates to rent sheets for a week. You can head right to the beach instead of wasting an hour making six beds after your long drive. Just bring your bath and beach towels, and a comforter if you want one! Towels and comforters are also available for rent.
For those who cannot escape from reality altogether, we have wireless high speed Internet.
And did we mention, for an additional fee, that your 4 legged kids can join you on vacation? Up to 2 well behaved dogs are welcome, and will have as much fun as you exploring the beach. We also have a super convenient fenced in dog area so your furry friends don't have to worry about sand spurs or hot pavement.
Weekly rentals are available from approximately May-October with a Sunday check-in so you can avoid the Friday-Saturday traffic. We are owner managed, so you can have the comfort of knowing that you are dealing with someone who knows you by name, not by property number.
We hope that you find the old time beachy charm of Avon (historically named Kinnakeet) as enchanting as we do, and when anyone asks you if you had a great vacation this year, you can answer unequivocally, 'Shells Yeah!'
**Hurricane protection is highly recommended during hurricane season, from June 1 - November 30 - No refunds during mandatory hurricane evacuations unless hurricane protection is purchased at time of booking!**
***Note that we have window a/c units in the living room and all bedrooms (not central air).***

10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
The house was perfect! Even though the weather was a bit rainy the first couple days, the house was cozy and the quick walk to the beach to look at the stormy ocean was awesome. Kitchen was sparkling clean and very user friendly . Loved the porch for hanging out ..we will be back!
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
Great stay, very comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen. Easy walk to the public beach access and then over the dunes. Wonderful, practically deserted beach. House utilizes window a/c units, has brand new washer/dryer, and both showers had good pressure. Good internet, strong enough for two major work presentations; router is in the MBR and the further you are from there (eg on the porches), connection gets spotty. Owners are super-responsive to questions esp when VRBO cut off the instructions for the lockbox and we were trying to get in. Shells Yeah was definitely worth the drive for us! Thanks again!!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
The check in process was easy. The place had a beach themed charm that was clean and refreshing! I loved the kitchen dining and living room open concept. The pac man game was fun but you have to have quarters to play! And we did atelast 20 worth of quarters!! You cannot hear the ocean from the house or see it however it is a close walk! The 45 second walk to the beach access is easy and flat straight to the end of the street. The access then allows you to walk a short distance on a wooden walk way then you meet the sand dunes. Once over the sand dunes you see the beach. I myself am 47 and had 6 teens we realistically could walk to the beach where we would sit in 3-5 minutes. My parents both struggled. My kids saw a total of 3 roaches that was found in the room with the bunk beds where they were. When I found out I reached out to the property manager in the late evening and he immediately got pest control out the next day. They did a thorough job and nothing else was found so this did not upset our stay in anyway, shape or form as this type of thing can happen and the place was and is very clean. I was also very impressed at how quickly the host responded to my concern. The house is centrally located to the pool shopping and activities! The cargo lift was awesome! The shower and water hose area under the house was also a huge bonus as everyday we went to the beach and didn’t want to track sand in to the house! My group had 9 people and the house was plenty big and roomy!
