We had a wonderful time, although hurricane Erin visited a good bit of the week. I appreciated the homeowners checking in to see how we were doing. The house is spotless, easy walk to the beach and bonus to walk into Duck also for coffee, markets and shopping.

Great Holiday Week!

My friends and I stayed here for a week over the 4th of July and we had the best time. The location of this home is so ideal: we could walk to coffee, to the beach and restaurants. We cooked quite a bit and the kitchen had all of the cookware we needed and was very clean. Would definitely recommend this house!

This home is very clean, easy walk to the beach and downtown Duck. We left the car at the house and walked everywhere. A bunch of places to eat nearby or just go to Wee Winks or another market and cook at home. Great experience! Our family of 5 will stay here again if we come back to the OBX.

Best family vacation

We just had the best family vacation! Our three teenagers even said it was one of the best vacations they've had. The home was very clean with everything we needed. We only brought food and clothing, everything else was available in the house. It was beautiful and comfortable and we felt right at home there. The covered sitting area outside was great. We could get out of the sun and extreme heat and stay cool with the shade and wonderful breaze. The hot tub was relaxing. The location of the house was perfect. We barely got in our car, which in my opinion, really felt like a vacation. We walked multiple times a day to the beach and was also in a short walking distance to so many restaurants. Even though everything was close by, the street was quiet and felt like we were away from all business of life. It was a perfect relaxing stay. We had some much needed family time. Thank you for the great accomodations and well cared for home!

Family vacation paradise!

We had a wonderful stay. The location is unbeatable - walking distance to everything on the boardwalk and to the beach! We barely touched our cars. It is located in an optimal place for ease of access to everything as well as privacy. We didn't see any neighbors or hear anything and had an amazing time at the beach and enjoying Duck. The house is very well stocked - plenty of items in the kitchen as well as outdoor use. If we had known how well, we could have made our lives easier and not packed so much! I can't say enough great things about the property. Scott and his family make it feel like your second home!

Incredible Duck home away from home

We loved our stay. This home was incredibly clean and comfortable enough to feel like home away from home. With easy access to the beach and close proximity to the boardwalk, it made our first visit to the OBX easy. We would recommend this spot for families or a group of friends.
