Clean & Cozy Beach Cottage Close to the Beach

The Wave Den is a quaint 4-bedroom recently renovated cottage tucked away in a private cul-de-sac surrounded by live oaks in the charming Sound and Sea Village of Duck. With only a 5-minute walk (1,000 ft) to one of the best (and most dog friendly) beaches in the Outer Banks, you will be sure to make lots of great memories. There is ample outdoor space to savor the warm sunlight and cool ocean breezes during the spring, summer and fall months. And, if it gets too warm there is a shady area under the house for the kids to play and the family to gather around the grill to dine al fresco. The screened-in porch is the perfect place to quietly enjoy a cup of coffee every morning or sip a glass of wine in the evening. The Sound (beautiful sunsets) is only a short walk away. The nearby bike/walking path are great for exercising, walking the dog, or biking into the town of Duck. It’s the ideal ocean-side retreat to refresh and unwind.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features 2 bathrooms and space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a microwave, and a dishwasher.

We had a great time at this house, the location was perfect for our needs (e.g., short walk to an excellent beach); the features of the house were great (able to cook meals and dine on the screened in porch); nice quiet spot and only a short drive or bike ride to Duck proper for dinner or ice cream or walking the boardwalk. Fun taking the bike trails north to explore as well.

Loved it

We had a wonderful time here. The house has everything you’d need for the beach, sports equipment, a peaceful screened porch, and a very cozy feeling overall. The beach is a quick walk down a private road, and we really enjoyed our time in Duck, which is quieter than other parts of the OBX but with lots of great restaurants, shops, and a terrific boardwalk on the sound.

Our stay at this house was just perfect! It was clean, easy to find, perfect location and had everything we needed! We appreciate that it is dog friendly! We would highly recommend this property and will probably be back!! Some nice features were the keypad entry to the house, A/C, Adirondack chairs and like new washer/dryer. The location is ideal, you can walk to the beach and bike or drive into duck. The house was VERY clean and comfortable.

Nice location

We really enjoyed our week - loved the location - a small cul-de-sac about 3 blocks from the beach. We mad a lot of use of the cart to bring stuff to and from the beach. A bunch of the beach chairs that were available for use were broken, but we loved using the umbrella. It’s a quiet setting and the neighbors were nice. When we had questions, the owners were very responsive.
