  • 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.

Great Vacation

The house was exactly as listed and had everything you could want or need in a vacation rental. The location was perfect. We watched dolphins from the deck almost every day. Our dog loved hanging out on the large deck and the gate kept him safe. We ate dinner on the deck several nights as the sun was setting- lovely. Terry’s house is perfect for an OBX vacation!

Best OBX vacation ever!

House was right on the beach with an amazing deck overlooking the beach and ocean. Best part of every day was enjoying morning coffee pre-dawn through sunrise on the deck. Second best part of the day was cooking in the best-stocked kitchen I have ever encountered in a rental house. The downstairs room was perfect and private for visiting family members. Owner was friendly and responsive to all inquiries and requests. We would stay here again without question.

Relaxing Family Getaway

We had a wonderful week at the Mermaid! The house was so cute and charming. The location was everything! The beach being so close made it so nice going back and forth to the house with our kids. Everything was nearby in terms of shopping, restaurants etc. Terry was very easy to contact and returned texts right away. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our time! Especially when the dolphins swam by!

Great Kitty Hawk vibe!

We had a lovey stay at this property (4 adults and a dog). There are no surprises here – the house was exactly as pictured and described, was very clean, very well-equipped and consistent with the reviews. The house feels very spacious with the high ceilings and open layout, and you can enjoy the beach front view even from the couch. While it is a tad dated, the kitsch adds to the charm & fancy-free OBX beach feel. We were fortunate to have great weather and were able to fully enjoy the beach & the deck! Kitty Hawk has a great vibe, Terry was a great, responsive host & we would definitely stay here again. Things someone might want to know: • The dune is very steep. There are steps at the bottom of the house side, along with a little walkway to help with traction. You’re on your own on the seaside. While it was no issue for us, it could be quite difficult for someone with mobility issues. • As clearly stated in the description, the fourth bedroom is under the main house with a separate entrance. It may not be suitable for everyone, so keep that in mind. You have to leave the room to access the toilet & outdoor shower. I would not have wanted to stay down there alone, but that’s just me. • Proximity to the road was a worry for me but totally was not an issue. Your whole focus will be on the ocean that is right at your doorstep! The deck is spacious, solid & secure. The heavy gate latches from both sides, so no worries about kids and pets! Great time overall!

Amazing location and charming home

This house was absolutely perfect! The location had easy access to restaurants and stores. It was like having a private beach because of the distance to other properties! The deck was the perfect place to have coffee in the morning or relax in the evening. The home was exactly as advertised - the kitchen had everything we needed to make meals at home. We enjoyed everything about this place and will definitely book again.The host was fantastic, easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating. I highly recommend this property for couples or families!

The Perfect Beach Location

This was the perfect place for our beach vacation. The large front room overlooks the ocean, pictures don't do it justice. The extra large deck was where we spent our evenings sipping wine and watching the waves. The home was clean and well stocked, the property manager was accessible and attentive. We'd definitely stay here again!
