Appliances include a blender, Keurig and standard coffee maker, microwave, dishwasher, new range/oven, and new refrigerator/freezer with ice maker and filtered water. A spacious dining table leaves room for everyone in your party. Cathedral ceilings in the living area brings even more natural light into this cozy space. Did we mention new furnishings? We also added a new game table to complement the space. We tried to think of everything to make your get away the ultimate in rest and relaxation!
Down the hall you will find the laundry room with large capacity washer and dryer for your convenience. The half bath is conveniently located just beyond the laundry space. Upstairs, you will find a loft sitting area to curl up with a good book. A full bathroom with tub/shower combination is shared by the two bedrooms on this upper level. The Queen bedroom is quiet and cozy, while the Twin bedroom offers 2 single beds for your group.
Let’s talk about outdoor living! The new deck overlooking the pool area is sunny and bright, with tons of space to enjoy your morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail. Downstairs is a huge pool area, perfect for those days when you want a break from the beach. We’ve also added a new bar area downstairs in the shade of the deck for an additional spot to enjoy drinks and conversation.

Favorite Place
This property was exactly as it was stated in the ad. It was extremely clean, cleanest I have ever stayed in. We have vacationed to the Outer Banks for over 50 years and this cottage is by far my most favorite of any we have stayed in. The owner is very welcoming and accessible for any needs and questions, which were few because the house accommodated us with all we needed. Can’t wait to return

Great getaway
We had a short and sweet getaway, long weekend at this beach house. It was lovely with the pool and quick access to the beach. Everything we wanted and needed. The listing discusses how well stocked the kitchen is in regards to equipment and they weren’t kidding. It has anything and everything you might need for meal prep.

A great stay!
We visited over our daughter's spring break and we loved everything about this house! The location is great, as it is just a few minutes away from the main road into OBX. There are grocery stores and other retail nearby and it is a quick bike ride away from Duck. While it is located on a busy road, we spent much of our time in the back yard at the pool so road noise was not an issue. The house was perfect for our group of 6 and the property manager was very responsive. We were there in April and while it was too windy and cool to be at the beach, the backyard is protected and we spent so much time by the beautiful pool. The pool area is protected by trees and it was so nice to spend time outside. The kitchen sink has filtered water (big bonus in my eyes) and the house is well stocked. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a great time staying at “About Dune Time.” The house was clean and had all the amenities we needed for a week at the beach. The location was convenient to Kitty Hawk and the Duck areas.

Great Property
Great house for our group of 2 adult couples. House was clean and roomy, pool area was great. House is 2.3 miles from downtown Duck, easy to get to most of the time. Duck Rd is very busy and the sidewalk/bike trail is across the street, have to be very careful crossing. That’s the only drawback.
Having a green light bulb in the front lamp was a genius move, making it easy to see the driveway when coming back at night.
Would definitely stay there again!

Great rental for a family!
This house had a great set-up for a small family, and we enjoyed the added benefit of having the pool for a quick dip in the afternoons if we didn’t feel like going to the beach.

Clean and comfortable!
We stayed for a week and had a lovely time! It was the cleanest rental we’ve stayed in, and it provided plenty of space for 5 adults. It is on the main road so turning out of the driveway could be tricky at the busier times of day. The beach access with the provided HOA parking pass wasn’t crowded and has port-a-potties, trash/recycling bins, and showers to wash your feet off. The only downside to the house was that there isn’t much green space to roam if you choose to bring your pet. We would definitely visit again!

Beautiful Home, Close to the beach and Duck!
Wonderful week long stay. The house was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the pool and walked daily to the beach. We enjoyed being close to both the beach, Duck and the amenities. The only downside is the location on a busy road, although you can't hear the traffic noise when inside the house. The owners were extremely attentive and responsive when we had a question or concern. I wound definitely rebook and recommend to those looking for a place to stay in OBX.

Incredibly Relaxing
The house was lovely! And the pool allowed us to relax and enjoy time together beyond the beach! We never thought of having a pool at the beach, but it made our time together even better!
I don’t know how you can make it more obvious to your customers, but the folks before us must have missed putting trash out on Friday - there were 3 full trash bins when we arrived. No problem - my son put them out for Monday pick-up, but don’t think that anyone could have accumulated that much trash in 2 days!
Thanks so much for making your home available. We would love to come back in the future!

Friends vacation with two dogs
We had a great time at the outer banks. This location is about two blocks from the beach. It comes with chairs and a wagon to bring what is needed to the beach and back. Our dogs really enjoyed staying here. The pool was nice. The kitchen was adequate for cooking and we had the firehouse boil company come and cook for use one night which was wonderful. The owner/management was responsive and kind. Would recommend staying here to others!

The property exceeded all expectations. Exemplary cleanliness, coupled with first rate amenities and features made this vacation an absolute joy. The house was perfect and everything just worked. Contact with the host was easy, pleasant and appropriate. Local information was readily available and the beach was an easy, short walk with the beautiful town of Duck a 5 minute drive away. The saltwater pool was fantastic (even in early April....brrrr!). This property is a gem!
