Welcome to Fade Away Cay, a spacious retreat in Duck that perfectly blends comfort, entertainment, and convenience for families or groups up to 12 guests.

Great place to stay for a trip to the beach. Although the walk to the beach was not that long, the golf cart was a great benefit. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the stay and would do it again.

Wonderful stay between ocean and sound

Our family had a great time during our fall getaway. We loved the heated pool and hot tub on cool nights, star gazing from the rooftop deck, and taking the golf cart to the beach. The home is immaculate. The layout and all the deck space were great for spreading out. We had amazing experiences at both Jockey's Ridge and the lighthouse in Corolla and enjoyed eating and shopping at the Duck boardwalk.
