Semi-Sound Front - Pool, Community Tennis Court & Sound Access
SEMI-SOUNDFRONT Rodanthe - Cross of Honor Way - SUMMER DUCK is located across a quiet cul-de-sac from the peaceful Pamlico Sound. Enjoy spectacular views of the sound to the west, the pristine Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge to the north, as well as ocean views to the east, from this lovely home’s well-furnished decks. Step out back and jump into the crystal waters of your private swimming pool or head to the beach for a day of frolicking in the waves. The ocean is just a quick walk away using a community boardwalk and easy beach access across the road. After a day in the ocean or sound, relax sore muscles in the 6-person hot tub. Inside, choose from five well-appointed bedrooms, including a king master bedroom on the top level and a queen master bedroom on the mid-level, each with its own private bathroom. Also on the mid-level are two queen bedrooms, one with private entrance into the common bathroom. A bunk bedroom is located on the lower level and would use the common bathroom on the mid-level. The top-level great room is full of windows, almost floor to ceiling allowing lots of beautiful sunlight into the home as well as breathtaking views from the kitchen, dining and living areas. The kitchen provides all that you need for a week full of food preparation and enjoyment. The adjacent dining area seats 10 comfortably. End your days with the panoramic view in the great room and star gazing from the deck and covered porch. With the new Jug Handle Bridge recently opened the once-busy road has been emptied of through traffic, making the route to the beach that much easier! Get all your DUCKS in a row this year and make plans to vacation at SUMMER DUCK. (Fireplace seen in pictures is not available for guest use.)

One week family vacation with our adult kids and a few of their friends.
Great house for our family of 5, with 3 adult kids who were back from college, and a couple of their friends. Plenty of space, great to have a private pool and hot tub, and a very short walk to get to the beach or the sound.

Nice house
Excellent location! The house could have been cleaner upon arrival. I recommend they use a different cleaning company, it wasn’t terrible, just not as cleaned as I would have liked it to be. Otherwise, great location and awesome pool and hot tub!

TERRIBLE STAY
THE house was dirty, dust everywhere, cobwebs, coffee spilled down cabinet front, underwear in the closet. roaches, spiders, mice. Poop under cabinet. I don't believe they took "extra precautions" for Covid-19 sanitizing! Broken fridge loud screeching for long periods. Not replaced until day 4. Replacement fridge also loud and did not make ice. The bridge is being built across from the house with pilings being pounded into place starting at 7:30 am. No warning concerning this. Construction on the house next door all day starting with sawing at 0530. Avery loud stressful vacation. We will not be back.

Beautiful home with everything you need for a wonderful time!
The house was so wonderful and the location is perfect. The issue we had was with the property management. Despite repeated calls informing them that we had no internet, they did not respond or try to fix it for 5 days. It didn't ruin our trip, but it was an indicator that the management company has issues. We also requested more towels and that was ignored as well. In short, the house is wonderful but the property management company leaves a lot to be desired.
