OBX Box -- Semi Ocean Front w/ Pool and hot tub - Just a Minute to the Beach!

Our charming comfortable five bedroom /five bathroom beach house with large in-ground pool (un-heated) and hot tub is located semi-ocean front (just one house back from the beach) from the beach in Duck. It is only 100 steps from the driveway to the dune (OK...I have long legs, so it may take you 125!!). We are only a 10 minute walk to the quaint village of Duck, Outer Banks North Carolina, right opposite Duck Donuts! Our spacious ocean side outdoor decks and seating, the tiki bar and pool entertaining area around our large in-ground pool, coupled with our large lot and semi-ocean front location, makes this one of the nicest homes in Duck.

Inside our home we have three levels. The ground level has a Twin/twin bedroom, bath and TV room with glass sliding doors that open to the swimming pool entertaining area with tiki bar, hot tub, outdoor shower, spacious pool deck, and covered porch seating. The laundry area with full sized washer and dryer are also located on the ground level.

The mid-level area has our fully renovated kitchen with all new appliances, living room with new sofa and matching chairs with large flat-screen, full sized tv. Our dining room seats 10. Bedrooms on this level are a queen bedroom with private bath and one King bedroom with hall bath. The top level has a loft reading/office open area overlooking the lower living room/dining area with glass sliders leading out to our top deck with spectacular views of the ocean, sunrises and lovely sunsets. There is one king bedroom with private bath and one queen bedroom with hall bath.

Note: No elevator. Stairs to main living area and to second story bedrooms. Linens and towels are NOT included in our rental, but can be rented by guests directly with a linen rental company to help guests keep their costs down. Or guests may bring their own linens and towels. Pillows, blankets and quilts are provided.

Bedding: Two kings, two queens, two Twins.

Amenities include: private pool (not heated- open May to mid-October only) bar area by pool, hot tub by pool (available year round), outside shower, cable TV, free WiFi, DVD player, dishwasher, cook top stove, oven, charcoal barbecue grilling, washer and dryer, decks with deck furniture, pool chairs/furniture, parking for four cars.

The village of Duck is quaint, beautiful and welcoming with wonderful local unique shops, cozy cafes, grocery stores, delicious restaurants and water sports entertainment. Duck also has a unique sound side coastal boardwalk that provides great bird watching over the Sound and beautiful sunset vistas, dining, shopping, and dog-walking. Kayakers float by adding to the scenery. Great for families and couples who wish to walk around Duck after a fantastic day on the beach.

For car trips and sight seeing during rainy days, you are spoiled for choice: lighthouses, shopping, and a must visit to Jockey's Ridge, the east coast's largest sand dune and site of the Wright brothers first flight! Visit the Wright Brothers national monument and museum nearby and learn about our country's aviation history and first flight. Head north to Corolla for tours to visit the wild banker ponies, protected and wild. Year round the town of Duck is full of wonderful things to see, places to shop, eat, and enjoy beach time.

Cancellation policy: Full refund if cancelled more than 60 days before the start of your stay.

The hosts were great at communication and really helpful when I asked questions. The property was perfect for our 4 adult couples. The location couldn't be better; we walked everywhere for the most part. The best part-the beach was a 1 minute walk away! The house has all the chairs and fun beach things you could need. The pool and hot tub were wonderful and clean. The kitchen was well stocked too. It was weird not having linens provided, however, that seems to be common around here while I was searching rentals. The rental process was easy. We really enjoyed our stay and had a great time. Thank you for sharing your home with us! It was perfect.

The location to beach and town can't be beat! For our family, the layout of home was perfect for sleeping levels, especially with a 1 & 3 year old. We did have an issue with dryer not working but the management was quick to respond and provided us a temporary fix. We definitely hope to go back next year.

Great house and location but added responsibilities

What we loved- the three floors, space, pool, hot tub, and location to the beach.What was something we had not planned on: having to bring out own sheets and towels for all guests, paper products, and dish soap, having to vacuum the entire house before we leave and of course strip all of the beds and repack the sheets and towels. The stay was still amazing but what I mentioned above was disappointing and made out last morning difficult.

Perfect spring vacation

We loved everything about this stay. The house was beautiful and in an ideal location. We could walk to restaurants, stores, and the boardwalk. The beach was steps away. It was private, quiet and very relaxing. We hope to come back and stay again!

Checks all the boxes!

Location cannot be beat, steps away from the ocean and walk to shops/restaurants, the house has everything you need (except linens but that fact is well disclosed in the listing), hot tub and pool (we will be back to enjoy pool which was closed for winter, also disclosed, of course), outdoor shower and excellent communication with the Owner. What more could one ask for?
