Pests: Duck is home to midges, tiny seasonal bugs that are harmless and do not bite, but they can appear in large numbers. To keep them out, we recommend keeping doors closed as much as possible and turning off outdoor lights at night, as light attracts them. We regularly treat the area, but they may still be present outdoors. Bug spray is a great idea for enjoying the deck and pool areas. Additionally, snakes from the nearby marsh can occasionally be spotted. If you see one on the property, please contact us immediately, and we will arrange for animal control to remove it.

Loved our stay at Duck Blind! Hosts were very nice and efficient. We had 2 families and 6 kids between 2 and 6 and they had a blast. The location is perfect, and the house was fun, warm, and as advertised in the photos. The sunsets alone are worth the stay!
The house was amazing. The house from top to bottom was nothing short of fantastic. The pool the hot tub the game room was awesome. 2 blocks away from town waw even better. We will be booking this house again.
the owner really thought of everything for this house! so many great amenities/activities to do here. great for entertaining large groups of people! it was very clean when we got here, and the owner left clear instructions on checking in and out. location is a short walk from the beach and a short drive from the town and grocery store.
