History
Avon is located south just beyond Salvo, before arriving on Hatteras Island. The town of Avon was originally named "Kinnakeet", an Algonquin word meaning "that which is mixed." The "mixing" stems from the merging of native tribes and the English settlers. The name became official with the opening of the Kinnakeet Post Office in 1873. 10 years later in 1883, the town was renamed, Avon. Although there are no official records of why the post office selected Avon as the new name, it is speculated that it was named after the river in England.

Avon like most of the towns on the Outer Banks relied on the surrounding waters of the Atlantic and Sound for its livelihood. Boat building was the main way of life for Avon residents. The width of Hatteras Island lent itself to forests of cedar and live oak trees, which were key in boat building from the colonial days to decades after the Civil War. Avon was once the island`s most prosperous local village right up until Hatteras Inlet was opened by a hurricane in 1846.

Weather in Avon
Avon, North Carolina has hot and humid summers, cool winters, and year-round precipitation. During the summer months, a cool afternoon breeze off the ocean is present most days in Avon. At times, extreme heat, over 100 degrees F, and humidity can occur. Avon may be affected by hurricanes, especially during hurricane season from June 1 through November 30.

There are two ways to get to the Outer Banks - driving and flying. The closest international airport is in Norfolk, VA (ORF). After landing in Norfolk, you will then head south on NC-168 and US-158 where you will drive through the Cape Hatteras National Park in Nags Head. Continue to follow North Carolina Hwy 12 S until you reach the town of Avon.

The best amenity any vacation rental in Avon will have is a water view. The stretch of land that Avon is situated on is very thin, providing its guests the luxury of both a sound and ocean view.

The best time to rent an Avon vacation rental really depends on what type of Outer Banks vacation you are looking for. If a warm, sun-drenched beach vacation is what your after, you should book your Avon stay during the warmer months of May-August. If you are looking to simply enjoy the peace and serenity of Avon, the off-season months from September-April would be best.

You will find the lowest price on Avon vacation rental properties during the winter months of November-February.
