Located in the heart of Avon, just a quick stroll — less than 300 feet — to the ocean, this sweet three-bedroom cottage sets the stage for unforgettable beach days and strong rental demand. Nestled among mature cedar trees, it offers the peaceful, laid-back vibe that keeps vacationers returning year after year.

Ideal Layout for Vacationers and Year-Round Living

Inside, an open and airy floor plan connects the living, dining, and kitchen spaces — ideal for entertaining or relaxing after a sunny day on the shore. Three comfortable bedrooms, including a queen ensuite, offer privacy and convenience, while both full bathrooms have been updated with large tiled showers and a clean coastal feel.

This layout works beautifully as a personal getaway, a year-round home, or a proven short-term rental.

Outdoor Living Designed for Coastal Life

Outdoor space matters — especially when maximizing rental appeal. Laughing Gull delivers with:

• Spacious sun deck
• Outdoor shower for sandy beach days
• Covered picnic and lounging area
• Ample room under the house to expand outdoor living
• Large storage shed for beach gear, boards, and bikes
• Private backyard framed by old-growth cedar trees
• Attic with pull-down access for extra storage

This property offers flexibility for future enhancements that could increase both enjoyment and rental income.

The Heart of Avon: Convenience, Dining, Adventure

Location drives rental success, and this one checks all the boxes.

Laughing Gull sits moments away from:

• Avon Pier for fishing and oceanfront fun
• Local favorites like Pangea Tavern, Gidget’s Pizza, and Sunrise Seafood Market
