"Good Tides" Oceanside beach house with private heated pool & hot tub, Duck, NC

Come explore the private beach, restaurants, and shops in Duck, NC while staying at this spacious, bright retreat we call "Good Tides." You'll find paradise in this wonderful home surrounded by live oak trees for privacy while you sip sweet tea (or margaritas!) from the porch swings. The open and airy living space is perfect for that special family get together. There is also room to spread out, with extra space in the sunroom upstairs and game room downstairs with wet bar and foosball. Three story decks face the east and west to catch ocean breezes, sunrises, and sunsets. A private pool, outside shower, and hot tub are just outside the back door. Your whole family will enjoy this beautiful home.

The beach access is just a short walk along a private road (<5 min with kids and wagon in tow) and we provide a beach caddy and wagon to carry all your beach gear, cooler, and kiddos. Sound access is also close by (<2 min walk), so pack your crab trap, kayak, and windsurfing gear. Bring your bikes and jump on the bike path for a quick ride to the quaint village of Duck, where you’ll find fabulous dining and shopping. Catch a sunset on the Currituck Sound at the waterfront shops while you mingle in and out of the stores.

“Good Tides” has 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 2 half baths. The master suite (king bed) is on the top floor with an open floorplan for kitchen, living space, extra half bath, and sunroom. The second floor has two more suites, each with a queen bed, and then a jack-n-jill bath shared by two rooms, one with a queen and one with double bunk beds. The first floor has the game room and wet bar, sleeper sofa, extra fridge/freezer, another half bath, and the washer and dryer. Just move in and hit the beach.

Great home and great location

Our family had a wonderful stay at Good Tides. The listing is very accurate - the house is very clean and well stocked with soaps etc - which is very convenient when visiting from far. It’s a short walk to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. The owner was very responsive to our questions. The pool and the hot tub were a highlight! Would definitely recommend.

Great host, location and home for a getaway

Overall we had a wonderful stay. Gary is so communicative and helpful to ensure your visit is top notch. Everything in the kitchen you’d need to cook meals, lots of places to hangout and relax. Plenty of beach gear came in handy. Hot tub was clean, too cold for the pool. Only reason for a 4/5 stars is the price was a bit high relative to other places we’ve stayed and it wasn’t as updated, smaller home, less outdoor space for little ones to play, deck run down with some nails up, etc. Would still recommend it for a family trip to Duck!

Family Vacation

Everything was great for our family of 10 adults, enough room to spread out and still be together. The house was well appointed and clean. The only downside was our 85 year old mom couldn’t get safely into the shower. My fault for not checking on that. She did however enjoy the outdoor shower and goes with the flow so all in all 10 out of 10 for us!

Found property as advertised. Our group was overall happy with house. Short walk to the beach, quiet area. Internet service could have been better. There was an electrical issue with pool but was addressed. Did not impact our stay. Would consider property on next visit to OBX.

Great review for Good Tides

This was our first trip to OBX and we enjoyed our stay at Good Tides. For the past decade we have vacationed at Ocean City, MD. This property was a blend of the solitude of the mountains, including deer in the back yard, and the serenity of the ocean, a few blocks away. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub along with a very spacious living area. We did rent a golf cart because the walk to the beach was a bit far for some members of our family. Gary, the owner, was very responsive and accommodating. We had a fabulous week.

Wonderful, comfortable stay

We had a fantastic time at Good Tides. It was the perfect size and setup for a multi-generational family gathering. The first floor foosball and TV room was a great place for kids to hang out while adults were upstairs, and the upstairs had plenty of space for everyone to be together, while doing different things and not stepping on anyone's toes. Four spacious decks were lovely for morning and evening, and the two mid-level decks were covered so you could be outside even when it rained. The walk to the beach was very manageable. Gary was very responsive and kind in the run up to our stay and during our stay, and helpful with even small logistical tips. The house and kitchen were very generously stocked with all the beach gear you could need (including towels!), paper goods, and games, etc. It was the perfect fit for our family, and we would love to stay again.

Duck doesn’t disappoint

Had a family of 10 adults and two children with more than enough space to enjoy. Very clean and great location to walk to beach or short drive to the town. Peaceful and beautiful location. All pool and home amenities you can think of. We had rented a golf cart to get items to/fro beach and that was great to use- made it all so easy! Full time neighbors friendly. Must see- Corolla light house, wild horses on the beaches, walking the boardwalk, rented kayaks and went scuba diving( there is a tanker sunk off coast of Killl Devil Hill.) Would definitely recommend this place! Manager Gary great and always answered quickly!

Duck, Nc

Overall this house was great! The owner was extremely helpful and responsive. Every question I had was answered and dealt with immediately. A few cons-some safety strips in the bathtub, possibly some extra bar ware (shaker, on the rocks glasses). Pros-plenty of dishes, glasses, coffee cups, kitchen well furnished. The beds were extremely comfortable. The house felt very open and uncrowded for our family of 11. Plenty of room for everyone to sit. The kids loved the pool, the many games available to them and the goose ball. The walk to the beach was easy. The town of Duck a short drive as well as Corolla. We all had an absolutely wonderful time and would recommend this house to everyone.

Good Tides has Good Vibes

Perfect house to get away with the extended family. We had 5 adults and 2 kids under 10, with plenty of room to spread out (and could easily have fit a few more adults/kids). Pool is a perfect size for relaxing for our size group, and the heater (extra charge) was clutch on what ended up being a chilly Mother's Day weekend. Dining room and living room both have good seating space for everyone which isn't always the case! Other reviews mention the gravel walk to the beach as a negative, but it is a well-maintained/packed gravel, and an easy walk in flip flops, <5min. Adorable family of 6 deer seems to live nearby, too! Owner was exceptionally responsive. Only very minor negative is that you need to make the beds upon arrival and strip them when checking out, which is a minor pet peeve for me, BUT you at least know they've been changed. :) Would absolutely stay here again. My 9 year old declared "Good Tides had Good Vibes," and that is high praise!

Would give this 10 stars if possible!!

Our family had a vacation planned in Marco Island for this week. With all the rain, flooding, and State of Emergency in southern Florida we needed to pivot and FAST!! Thankfully was able to cancel other trip on FRIDAY and start looking for a place for my family of 5 and my FIL and SIL. We booked this the day before coming!! Communication was fantastic and everything about this place was wonderful. The host is very thoughtful in providing all that you can imagine you'd need. I packed so many things that weren't necessary because it was all there!! The location is great, just a short walk to the beach. We made many meals at the house and all you'd need is there. We all really enjoyed ourselves. The fact that most adults had their own bathrooms attached to their bedrooms was such a bonus and the extra 2 half baths were so great to have so no one had their space taken over. We had such a wonderful relaxing time. We will definitely be back! Kuddos to a fabulous host!

Great stay for us first timers in Outerbanks!

First off, Gary is a phenomenal host who made us feel very welcomed and was great at keeping in contact to meet any needs or answer any questions. I had messaged Gary about the empty propane tank for the grill,and if it is the guests’ responsibility to get it refilled, which was no big deal. Gary did respond back to let me know where to locate the filled ones, but my phone had died and I didn’t read it in time, which was my fault. He offered to reimburse me and did. I appreciate how attentive he is. The house was great! It was very clean, had a comfortable and cozy living room and kitchen area for our group to come together, but also is spacious and offered so many other areas for people to just hang out separately or kids to play. If you have toddlers, this is the place to stay. House had enough board games and toys that my 2 year old loved playing with where I didn’t even need to bring any of his toys from home, which was practically half of my suitcase. The beach chairs, beach toys, and wagon were such an added bonus, especially since sometimes that can be forgotten/take too much room. All the wives of our group definitely appreciated the number of bathrooms, especially with many rooms having their own private one, as well as the massive fridge. If we plan to visit again, we definitely have a go to place. You can tell they take care of their property and make sure you are taken care of as well.

Wonderful family vacation

It was wonderful to be able to stay with our entire family of 10, ages 4 to 65, in one house, enjoying family dinners and playing in the pool. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We really appreciated all the small conveniences provided by the owner (not always supplied by other owners) such as toilet paper, laundry & dishwasher soap, beach towels, etc. We had no problems while we were there. If we ever get back to the Outer Banks, this is the place we'll stay.
