About this cottage rental
Welcome to Finlandia! Finlandia is a dog-friendly Avon oceanside cottage ready for you and your family to enjoy. Finlandia has its roots in - you guessed it - Finland. Read to the bottom to learn more.
Finlandia is near local shopping, dining, grocery, and watersports. And of course, Finlandia is just steps away from one of the nicest (and widest) beaches on Hatteras Island, giving you access to endless beach days during your stay! Finlandia is also located about 1 mile north of the Avon Pier.
Inside Finlandia, you'll be greeted by an open living area complete with a flat-screen Smart TV and seating for the whole crew. When it's time for meals, the kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals during your stay including stainless steel appliances, a stocked kitchen, and both traditional and Keurig coffee makers. With breakfast bar seating for 4 along with a flip top table inside with additional seating.
Even better? Take advantage the beautiful Hatteras Island weather and dine on the large private sundeck at the picnic table with seating for 6! The entire deck is NEW for 2026 and has ample seating.
At Finlandia, each bedroom is perfect for you to relax and unwind after a fun-filled day on the Outer Banks. Additional amenities at Finlandia include an electric Blackstone grill, outdoor shower, fish cleaning table, park style grill, Nest thermostat, and high-speed WiFi provided by Silicon Travel with concierge service.
A little history:
All beams for the home were manufactured in Kokkola, Finland by a company named Bothniahouse. Bothniahouse was known for building log homes, still popular to this day in Finland. The logs made their way to the US and Finlandia was built on site in Avon. It reportedly may be the only home on the island like it.
While the home has been updated, some of the original features and details remain. All inside walls and ceilings are the original wood beams, In the back bedroom, you will even see the back of a stone fireplace that was at one time a centerpiece of the home. The laundry room was at one time a sauna room. If you look closely outside the home above the main door area, you will still see an exposed beam that has the original stamp from Kokkola, Finland and Bothniahouse.
We hope you enjoyed reading about this little piece of history here on Hatteras Island.

We had an excellent stay at Finlandia! The host was communicative and accommodating! We loved the cozy, beachy feel to this property and were so thankful that we could bring our dog ! We could even walk to our favorite ice cream spot of the week - Sisters! The house was very clean and had everything we needed to have a great stay here ! We will definitely consider staying at Finlandia again!

Finlandia has treated us beautifully. From the clean up to date house with everything you could want to cook, play in the sun and be comfortable. The deck has decent shade mist of the day along with the perfect chairs to relax in! The walk on beach at the end of the road perfect for sunrise and early am/late pm walks!

Ken, the host, maintains excellent communication from the time of reservation through the stay. The house is well appointed and conveniently located near a multitude of excellent restaurants, Food Lion, shops, and the beach. This area of OBX allows for plenty of space on the beach and offers sand bars several hundred feet out into the ocean for wading and boogie boarding. Great place for family of 4 or 5 and pup to stay! This was a return visit to Finlandia for us, and we highly recommend!
