We’re going to Avon also. My parents are having a reunion of friends at their house in Rodanthe and it just so happened to coincide with our vacation schedule. We’ve never stayed in Avon before but I’m looking forward to NOT having to drive 20 miles to the grocery store. :)
Water’s a little warmer, island’s a little wider. More stuff to do there. The Food Lion is why we’re staying at Kinnakeet Shores in Avon, too, lol. Don’t want to have to drive 20 miles as you say, pretty as the drive might be. Don’t want to pay island prices at the little local stores, either. Gas is bad enough out there.
