Oceanfront Retreat, Stunning Views, Renovated Spaces, Game Room with Pool Table
New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.
Welcome to Star Kissed—an oceanfront escape with sweeping views, direct beach access, and the kind of charm that only the Outer Banks can deliver.
Fresh off a thoughtful renovation, Star Kissed offers the perfect mix of comfort and style. Enjoy a fully repainted interior, updated décor throughout, a renovated shared bathroom with a soaking tub and luxury vinyl flooring, and a reimagined main living space complete with shiplap ceilings and smooth drywall finishes. The kitchen has everything you need—including a brand-new dishwasher, refrigerator, wine fridge, sharp new knives, and all the cookware, spices, and gadgets (yes, even a instant heat tea kettle) to make your meals feel effortless.
The spacious great room features soaring ceilings, a huge 75' smart TV, and wall-to-wall windows showcasing panoramic ocean views. The expansive decks on the east, south and west side of the house offer prime opportunities to take in the sunrise with your coffee, watch dolphins swim by, or enjoy a glass of wine as the sun sets.
Downstairs, you'll find oceanfront bedrooms with new linens, private baths and decks, a bunk room, and a newly refreshed shared bath. Upstairs, a loft space features a classic slate pool table and one of the best ocean views in Avon.
We've added thoughtful touches for families—like a Pack 'n Play, highchair, and bottle warmer—plus upgraded smart TVs in every room. Outside, we've cleared and leveled the space under and around the home for dedicated parking, added a park-style grill, and installed new front steps and a new roof (October 2024). The ground level also includes a laundry room, concrete parking, double carports, and two upgraded outdoor showers with hot water.
Star Kissed is where convenience meets coastal luxury. Whether you're cooking dinner with the sound of waves in the background, playing pool with a view, or just unwinding on the deck, this is your place to make memories.
Please help protect the dunes—stay off them and enjoy the beach using the designated access paths. They help keep this home, and others, safe from storms and provide a habitat for local wildlife.

Very good

We love to go to the otter banks around this time of the year, less people at the beach and fishing it’s great. We also enjoyed staying at the house.

OBX best vacation destination
This is our second time staying in Star Kissed. The view is breathtaking and the house is beautiful. We had some hiccups but the owners are working on fixing and replacing. Vacasa was very helpful with they and made it right.

Great location and very spacious
Plenty of room for all your guests. Very open, nice layout and fairly quiet for such an open space. Not echoey at all. Beautiful views from many windows of the ocean.

Great location and property!
Nice clean facilities with great common area living space and decks. Easy to be together when you want and have privacy when you prefer it. Beautiful beach and not crowded. Beach side deck is perfect and covered region great for shade and rain. There are A LOT of stairs so if someone has mobility issues this isn’t the house for you. Steep walk over the dune to the beach as well. Living space on top floor optimized the view of the beach. Fishing pier very close by/easy walk. Two outdoor showers were a great option for after the beach. Food Lion, restaurants within one minute but not super touristy, which we loved!

Great House in a Great Location
This beach home is lovely. The floorplan is so accommodating for multiple guests. We found that the house had everything that we needed in the kitchen. So nice to have a Keurig in the morning. Beautiful views of the beach and so close to the beach access. Great use of technology in the house, with easy to use guides via the privacy friendly Alexa device. Working while at the beach? There is an awesome desk/workspace where I could close the glass french doors and hop on a Zoom call. The teenagers really loved the loft with the pool table. Loved our stay and we will definitely be back.

Aged House But Great Location
This year was the fifth year we rented Argonauta. It was clear the house has aged a ton over the last bit but the location was fantastic and Hatteras Realty was great to work with. The deck facing the ocean was definitely a highlight and having a south facing deck also helped!
We enjoyed our stay at Argonauta. The house is nicely furnished and comfortable. It’s within walking distance of the Food Lion which is nice. The kitchen was roomy and had plenty of cookware and utensils. My only complaints - the beds could be more comfortable, and the jacuzzi jets need to be cleaned. All in all, we enjoyed our stay atnArgonauta.

Love this home
We enjoyed our stay at the Argonauta. The views of the beach are amazing. The house is worth it just for the view. If your looking for an amazing view, easy beach access, a clean place..this is a great choice. It’s also in a great location that’s close to the grocery store and many restaurants. The house is also stocked with books, puzzles, games and much more. We tried to book again next year but our week was already booked. Hopefully we get to see the house again!

Amazing view!
First of all, the view is amazing and right on the beach! Loved how the house was very spacious. I also love the fact that we were near Food Lion and other stores, just in case you needed or ran out of something. We did cook at the home most nights, but a night we didn't we ordered Nino's Pizza, which I recommend for a good pizza place. We were also able to use the community pool, which was located in same parking lot right by Hatteras Realty. Overall I would come back! Very nice location.

Love this home… Some extra TLC needed
Home is just perfect, and wonderful for anyones stay… large or small group/family.
Plenty enough items for kitchen use, not enough towels/oven mits. The home definitely needs deep cleaning with dust on big wall hanging, curtains covered in dust from return vents, most curtain tie back hooks loose/fallen off. We enjoyed the view and the stay! Thank you!

Beautiful house in a perfect location
The house is gorgeous with a breathtaking view! The layout is great and we loved the tall chairs on the porch. Everything was very well cleaned.
There were a couple of things that could be updated, but they did not affect our stay too much: 1) Dining room chairs are not in great shape, 2) Cookware needs to be replaced, 3) No potholders, 4) Outdoor showers didn’t work, 5) The air conditioning on the top floor with the living room worked incredibly well, but the air conditioning on the floor with the four bedrooms didn’t work well at all.
