Daily Reflection: Dog-Friendly, Waterfront, sunset views

Find ever-present fun and sun at Daily Refelction, a soundfront retreat situated at the end of a canal, where you'll have amazing views of the sun setting over the glassy Pamlico Sound.

Located in Avon, this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom cottage comes packed with amenities and value, making it the perfect getaway for your small family or group. There's a fenced yard for your dogs, a fish-cleaning table, an outdoor shower, charcoal grill and a shallow private dock. Take advantage of the direct launching access for windsurfing and kayaking adventures. Daily also boasts two furnished sundecks - one on the bedroom level and a larger one on the top floor that overlooks the dock and the canal.

The first bedroom has two single beds and a TV, while the second has a queen bed and a TV of its own. A full bathroom sits across the hall. The third bedroom is a primary bedroom with a queen bed, a TV, and a full bathroom. Also on this floor is an intimate sunroom with a card table, a TV, a DVD player, a daybed, and the same gorgeous views straight down the canal into the Pamlico Sound.

Moving upstairs, the kitchen, dining room, and family room await. A half-bath is also located on this level. Sliding glass doors to the sundeck and tall windows allow natural sunlight to illuminate this area. Whether you're preparing your next meal or kicking back watching TV, the amazing view never fades from this vantage point.
