Fun family vacation
The Dabbling Duck hosted our crew of 14 very well for the week. The view from the kitchen window will have you volunteering to wash dishes all week! It is a short walk to the beach and the pool at the house was a definite plus! There was plenty of space for us to spread out. The pillows were a little flat but other than that sleeping was comfortable. The Duck boardwalk and town shops are a quick drive and quaint space. Overall, a great time and space vacationing with family.
