OBX Box -- Semi Ocean Front w/ Pool and hot tub - Just a Minute to the Beach!

Our charming comfortable five bedroom /five bathroom beach house with large in-ground pool (un-heated) and hot tub is located semi-ocean front (just one house back from the beach) from the beach in Duck. It is only 100 steps from the driveway to the dune (OK...I have long legs, so it may take you 125!!). We are only a 10 minute walk to the quaint village of Duck, Outer Banks North Carolina, right opposite Duck Donuts! Our spacious ocean side outdoor decks and seating, the tiki bar and pool entertaining area around our large in-ground pool, coupled with our large lot and semi-ocean front location, makes this one of the nicest homes in Duck.

Inside our home we have three levels. The ground level has a Twin/twin bedroom, bath and TV room with glass sliding doors that open to the swimming pool entertaining area with tiki bar, hot tub, outdoor shower, spacious pool deck, and covered porch seating. The laundry area with full sized washer and dryer are also located on the ground level.

The mid-level area has our fully renovated kitchen with all new appliances, living room with new sofa and matching chairs with large flat-screen, full sized tv. Our dining room seats 10. Bedrooms on this level are a queen bedroom with private bath and one King bedroom with hall bath. The top level has a loft reading/office open area overlooking the lower living room/dining area with glass sliders leading out to our top deck with spectacular views of the ocean, sunrises and lovely sunsets. There is one king bedroom with private bath and one queen bedroom with hall bath.

Note: No elevator. Stairs to main living area and to second story bedrooms. Linens and towels are NOT included in our rental, but can be rented by guests directly with a linen rental company to help guests keep their costs down. Or guests may bring their own linens and towels. Pillows, blankets and quilts are provided.

Bedding: Two kings, two queens, two Twins.

Amenities include: private pool (not heated- open May to mid-October only) bar area by pool, hot tub by pool (available year round), outside shower, cable TV, free WiFi, DVD player, dishwasher, cook top stove, oven, charcoal barbecue grilling, washer and dryer, decks with deck furniture, pool chairs/furniture, parking for four cars.

The village of Duck is quaint, beautiful and welcoming with wonderful local unique shops, cozy cafes, grocery stores, delicious restaurants and water sports entertainment. Duck also has a unique sound side coastal boardwalk that provides great bird watching over the Sound and beautiful sunset vistas, dining, shopping, and dog-walking. Kayakers float by adding to the scenery. Great for families and couples who wish to walk around Duck after a fantastic day on the beach.

For car trips and sight seeing during rainy days, you are spoiled for choice: lighthouses, shopping, and a must visit to Jockey's Ridge, the east coast's largest sand dune and site of the Wright brothers first flight! Visit the Wright Brothers national monument and museum nearby and learn about our country's aviation history and first flight. Head north to Corolla for tours to visit the wild banker ponies, protected and wild. Year round the town of Duck is full of wonderful things to see, places to shop, eat, and enjoy beach time.

Cancellation policy: Full refund if cancelled more than 60 days before the start of your stay.

What's nearby

  • One of the northernmost towns along the coast in North Carolina, Duck is an idyllic town on the shores of the Currituck Sound.  This shot was taken from the town's boardwalk while looking West over the sounds. It is advisable to visit the location in Winter as that is off season - so you can spend more time taking in the beauty of the North Carolina coastline and also sunsets are usually much more picturesque around the time owing to the cooler temperatures and lower amount of atmospheric haze.

Plenty of things around Duck to see. Further north, there is the Currituck Lighthouse where you can climb the steps to the top of the lighthouse. North of Corolla, there is an area where you can drive along the coast on the sand - 4X4s a must. Here you can spot some Spanish Mustangs, horses out in the wild. If you're lucky, you can spot them running along the beach in the surf. I'd recommend taking a tour through the Corolla Wild Horse Fund - the money from the tours is used to help the wild horses in every which way possible and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

Thank you for stopping by and for the support.

Perfect spring vacation

We loved everything about this stay. The house was beautiful and in an ideal location. We could walk to restaurants, stores, and the boardwalk. The beach was steps away. It was private, quiet and very relaxing. We hope to come back and stay again!

Spacious cottage, room for the whole family to have private space. Great location, short walk to beach. Our first trip to Duck, and this cottage offered everything we needed.

Duck Daze

We had a wonderful stay! The location was just perfect for our family. The beach is just steps away, shops and restaurants a short walk down the road. The house itself was a perfect base for our family (grands, adult “kids”, 2 lil ones and our fur baby). Having great weather in November was an added perk! We would definitely stay again!

Checks all the boxes!

Location cannot be beat, steps away from the ocean and walk to shops/restaurants, the house has everything you need (except linens but that fact is well disclosed in the listing), hot tub and pool (we will be back to enjoy pool which was closed for winter, also disclosed, of course), outdoor shower and excellent communication with the Owner. What more could one ask for?

We had a great stay at the house, which had everything we needed. Great living space, out door decks, and the house is across from the beach entrance! It’s a 1 minute walk to the the beach, which is less than 40 yards away. Great views from all of the decks of the ocean. Easy access and great to work with the hosts.

Loved having bathrooms for every bedroom. We had six to eight people in the house at any time and we were never cramped. Lots of space to hide away and read a book.
