Duck home - spring break stay

We had a fantastic 3-day beach getaway and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! The home was absolutely beautiful — spacious, clean, and perfectly suited for our family of five. It had everything we needed to feel comfortable and relaxed.One of the highlights was the private beach access, just a short and easy walk from the house. It made our beach days so convenient, especially with kids in tow. Speaking of the kids, they had a blast exploring the area — they loved being able to walk to nearby restaurants and coffee shops.A special shoutout to the owner, who was incredibly gracious and even opened the pool and hot tub early just for our spring break stay. That extra touch really made our trip extra special and memorable.Highly recommend this home for any family looking for a peaceful, beachside retreat with great amenities and thoughtful hosts.

Quick family getaway

This house was great for our family. Hosts were helpful with pre-stocking options for groceries as I didn't want to have to worry about that when I first got in. The location is great . And close to many stores and local restaurants. I would only recommend that you get a golf cart if you have young kids (6 and below) because while the beach isn't that far -kids come with a lot of stuff so managing all of the things and the distance to the beach maybe challenging without a golf cart.

Perfect Duck stat

Took my 18 & 21 year old daughters and a couple of their friends for a beach getaway. The house is newly renovated, super clean & had all of the little extras that we appreciated for an easy stay: phone chargers, fully stocked kitchen, laundry detergent, you name it! The location was ideal! Walk into Duck, or to the beach! And, the saltwater pool…what a bonus!! LeAnne was super communicative & accommodating! If you are looking for a smaller beach house in Duck with a fantastic location, I highly recommend this property!
