Family Vacation Rentals in Avon, NC — Sleeps 9 at King Tide Rising

The best family beach trips have a few things in common: enough beds, enough bathrooms, a kitchen big enough for breakfast chaos, and a deck where someone always ends up sitting until midnight. King Tide Rising in Avon, NC is built for that kind of trip.

Sleeps 9 across 4 bedrooms

• Primary suite — king bed, ensuite bathroom with shower, Smart TV, Pack 'n Play, high chair
• Queen bedroom — quiet, comfortable, perfect for a couple or a parent with a small child
• Flex bedroom — versatile for a third couple, single guest, or older kid
• Bunk room — the room the kids will fight over (in a good way)

Three full bathrooms across three levels means nobody's stuck waiting in flip-flops while everyone tries to rinse off the beach.

A kitchen built for big mornings and slow dinners

The top-floor great room opens to the kitchen — Keurig, full-size electric stove and oven, full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, blender, toaster, electric kettle, and the cooking basics already there. Seating for 9 between the dining table (5) and the kitchen counter (4). You can do big breakfasts before the beach, lazy lunches during a nap window, and slow group dinners at sunset without anyone elbowing for counter space.

Decks, hot tub, and a short walk to the sand

• Top-level deck for outdoor dining and sunsets
• Multiple decks across three levels for kids, dogs, coffee, and quiet
• Private hot tub for the grown-ups after bedtime
• Short walk to Avon Beach — wide, open Atlantic, beautiful sunrise views
