Sep 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Labor day beach weekend We loved our stay at this property in Duck. The house is a short walk to the beach. The house was very clean and had all the appliances we needed. It also had some beach chairs, umbrella, and even a few boogie boards you can use. We brought our own beach stuff, but its there if needed. There is also a beach wagon in the laundry room to help you cary your stuff to the beach. We really enjoyed having coffee on the screened in porch in the mornings. The house is located by many restaurants that are a short drive away. We recommend Aqua, Sunset Bar and Grill and Duck Donuts. My family and I all agreed we would definitely stay here again. ##### Jason R.
