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.

Beautiful inside and out!

My family has been going to the OBX for over 20 years, and this has been the best house we've stayed in. So close to the ocean, beautiful ocean views. Amazing, private saltwater pool. Furniture and decor were very nice and comfy. The only areas for improvement would be the kitchen (on the small side, no pantry, not a lot of large pots and serving utensils), very small TV in the main living space, and the single beds (we had 4 average height teenagers sleeping in the twin beds and their feet hung off the ends). But overall, we loved the house and had the best week in Duck!

Beautiful house and gorgeous views

Pros: great location, tastefully decorated house, amazing views from top deck. Cons: smallest TV on main living area - normally this would not be a big deal except we love to watch the Summer Olympics and it was not the same on that small TV! Kitchen was not as well stocked as we are used to with adequate pans and utensils. There was also cockroaches as a previous review mentioned. We only saw 2 but feared there were more.

Great house, almost a 5 star

This is a wonderful property that honestly deserves 5 stars, which I could not give. The house is a wonderful intriguing design of various levels upon levels. It was a fun house to be in, with the cool architecture, design and unique home furnishings. We really enjoyed NOT having a large TV upstairs in the living / kitchen area since that usually facilitates the wrong kind of vacation for our family where the default can become leaving the TV on. Having the separate den with the large TV allowed us to use it for movie nights and otherwise not have a TV on except for some music upstairs. The internet is pretty good, although I had to fix the extender upstairs located behind the TV. It was not configured properly so we did not have internet except in the downstairs TV room upon arrival. Once fixed it all worked out great, so no complaints. There is a nice Sonos sound system upstairs we enjoyed upstairs, but you first have to download the Sonos mobile app and enable it to work with the TV while on the WIFI. The pool, hot tub and volleyball court was a real hit with the whole family. There was one glaring problem, the bedding in this house needs serious upgrades. The master bed sank in the middle due to no support underneath. Most of the other beds were really hard and the pillows supplied were uncomfortable. A small investment in new mattresses and bedding would move my rating to 5+ stars, because lack of good sleep really affects the whole vacation.

Such an amazing and beautiful house! Thelayout was a little confusing at first haha, but we all adjusted quickly. Plenty of space for all 12 of us. Such a quick walk to the beach, it had beautiful views, and the pool area was so nice and private and we loved that it offered some shade. We would definitely stay here again!

Hot tube was too chilly; temp should have been pushed up before we arrived.MBR (above the media room); a larger set of sheets needed to make this bed. The bottom sheet came nowhere near fitting the mattress corners (only barely fit over the mattress topper), the top sheet didn't come over the sides of the mattress (seemed to be for a queen bed). Same issue with the comforter.Pool wasn't usable since the heat had been turned off...disappointing.Would not use the high chair...very dirty.BUT, we had a grand time and the family was comfortable! We would rent again.

Family Vacation

Wonderful house! We loved all the levels, the spacious bedrooms and roomy bathrooms. We had small kids with us so very much appreciated the alarm on the pool door. The reading nook on the top floor was a favorite spot as were the hot tub and spacious decks. Our one request is to replace the ice maker as it never worked the week we were there (the repairman said he had been there several times for that reason but that there had never been any follow-up to fix it). Our friendly suggestions are only to inventory kitchen dishware (i.e. there are no small bowls) and include bath mats in the towel packages. All in all, we loved the house, the pool, the proximity to the beach and would love to vacation there again in the future.

Beautiful and spacious home with spectacular view of the ocean. Lots of deck space and comfy furniture for lounging, reading, enjoying your morning cup of coffee or an afternoon cocktail. Great space to mingle and enjoy the view. We loved having a gas grill and outdoor screened in porch. The kitchen did not have a dish strainer or dish towels, making handwashing pots and pans challenging. Ice machine did not work. We were looking forward to the fire pit but it was not functional and the pool was too chilly to enjoy during our stay. Great bed and bathrooms. Very comfortable and the master bedroom with beautiful views and a walk in closet were a nice surprise. The media room was great for family movie night, loved this extra space. The game/reading space above the kitchen was incredible. Easy check-in and check-out. Great location in Duck. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice but needs some improvements

The house was beautiful and very roomy but a bit confusing at first. Wouldnt choose it if I had small children. The only large TV was in smaller room downstairs and not in the main living room where we all sat spend all of our time. The pool was not open and we could not get any of the propane appliances to work. The grill off of kitchen had no propaine tank. The dishwasher wasnt working right so we had to hand wash dishes for eight servings every meal. Took a lot of time away from just relaxing. The railing broke when my son was leaning on it. The bedrooms smelled horribly of must/dampness or cat urine. Last but not least there was cockroaches. The management company was quick to reply and fix things tgat they could but nonetheless it still put a huge damper on our vacation.
