Load up your stand-up-paddle board or kayak and head over to your Sound-side community pier for a calm-water paddle. After a day at the beach relax, drink in hand, in your private salt-water pool or somewhere on the 1,000 square feet of deck space.

Throw some surf 'n turf on the grill, grab a beverage, and head up to the deck to catch the sunset view over Albermarle Sound.

This shot was taken from the town's boardwalk while looking West over the sounds. It is advisable to visit the location in Winter as that is off season - so you can spend more time taking in the beauty of the North Carolina coastline and also sunsets are usually much more picturesque around the time owing to the cooler temperatures and lower amount of atmospheric haze. Plenty of things around Duck to see. Further north, there is the Currituck Lighthouse where you can climb the steps to the top of the lighthouse. North of Corolla, there is an area where you can drive along the coast on the sand - 4X4s a must. Here you can spot some Spanish Mustangs, horses out in the wild. If you're lucky, you can spot them running along the beach in the surf. I'd recommend taking a tour through the Corolla Wild Horse Fund - the money from the tours is used to help the wild horses in every which way possible and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

Very responsive before our stay and during our stay. The house was very clean and updated. They also provided the basics for us (hand soaps, dish soaps, dishwasher pods, few trash bags, laundry pods, TP, paper towels, etc) so that we didn’t have to rush off to the store right away. The house was also stocked with tons of beach chairs, beach towels, umbrellas, toys, etc all of our use! The neighborhood was so quiet and close to everything, we felt so safe here. We found multiple public beach access points a short drive away. Most beach houses you rent come BARE with buy or bring everything with you vibes but not when you stay here! The house came with so much already I wish we had packed less!! Thank you so much to the Benes family for making our beach vacation so spectacular!

The elevator is perfect for guests in a wheelchair or for bringing up a large load of groceries. The home has everything you could need, from a fully stocked kitchen to plenty of extras for fun and comfort. The owners have truly thought of everything, including a fridge in the garage to keep your poolside drinks cold and two different coffee machines to suit everyone’s preferences.For fun, there’s ping pong, a foosball table, life jackets, pool floats, and even cornhole boards—though fair warning, they’re Chicago Bears boards (don’t worry, you can still win even if the Bears can’t!).The location is ideal, close to many restaurants, including two that are an easy walk away. The outdoor decks reach up to a third-floor crow’s nest, offering the best views in the development. The owners are extremely responsive and wonderful to work with.If you’re planning an OBX vacation, this is a must-stay! ##### Nick M. Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristen R. Jul 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing home, fantastic vacation! This rental was stunning! The house was clean, beautifully decorated, and came with everything we needed/could want to enjoy our OBX vacation. The property was very well taken care of, amenities were top notch, and the hosts were outstanding to work with. The pool/yard was fabulous for kids of all ages. There was plenty of space inside and out for everyone to relax after long, sunny days at the beach. One week wasn’t enough time for our family of six to enjoy everything Life Off The Leash had to offer. 10/10 would recommend! ##### Kristen R.

Our stay at Life Off The Leash was absolutely wonderful! The house is absolutely gorgeous and looks just like the pictures. It was very clean! Carter was absolutely wonderful with communication and answered all questions we had while we were there. The pool and views were great. Quiet community! I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in OBX. We will definitely be booking again! Thanks again Benes family for sharing your home with us! We look forward to our trip next year! ##### Crystal G. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristen M. Aug 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! From the moment we booked this home, we have had nothing short of great communication with Carter and Kristen. They made the check in/check out process very easy, and were in contact during the week to ensure we were having a great stay and always responded promptly to any questions we asked. Their home is beautifully decorated and in a fabulous location close to lots of beaches, shopping, ice cream places, mini-golf spots and even escape rooms. The house is filled with just about anything you could ever need (and more!) and was perfect for our family of 6 (including an infant.) I have already recommended staying at Life Off The Leash to many of our friends looking to stay in OBX! ##### Kristen M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janell R. Aug 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We've been coming to the OBX for over 40 years, and our time at this stunning home was the best family vacation ever. It was seamless from beginning to end. Our spectacular hosts replied to every message quickly and provided everything a family would need for a beach vacation, including luscious beach towels. The gated community was perfect for our three grandchildren under three. We took walks, they rode their balance bikes, and going to the beach in the early morning hours was the perfect way to begin the day. Most of our time was spent in the pool! We all agreed that this home offered so many quiet spots to be: the hammock swing off the Master, the sunset-facing balcony porch, the huge windows that afforded watching oncoming storms in safety. With small children, we used the fully-stocked kitchen for every meal. The hosts even provided a "kettle" for our Belgium-based oldest daughter and family. The huge dining table was the hub of meals and games and afforded us such a peaceful place to "sobremesa" and reconnect. I can't say enough good things about this immaculate, beautifully decorated, and very clean home. The saddest part was leaving! We will be back! ![Floats for our three-year](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ffc7964f-03b7-433b-877d-df0a7ca76c85-1754067742574.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The incredible soundside pier that is a walk away.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5fc8d598-c3a6-4aa3-bcc6-e88073d08361-1754067750797.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![This swing!

Jul 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our stay at Life Off The Leash Our stay at this beach house was wonderful. From the time we got there to the time we left the owners were there every step of the way with any questions that we had. There was a book there that listed places to see and eat, if you have never been to the area. The house was beautiful and very clean. The huge pool was wonderful for the kids. I could not have asked for a better place to stay. You can drive or walk to the beach. We did both. The walk was about 15 minutes, not bad at all. The house is a 5-minute walk to ice cream shops, restaurants, etc. It is the perfect place to go to get away and has plenty of room. You can ride bikes down to the shops or around the neighborhood. It was very relaxing. Golfing, go kart racing and ziplining are right down the street. There is also a theatre to go to during a rainy day. The aquarium is only a 30-minute ride down in Manteo. There is also a water slide park 20 minutes down the road as well. The bay is the other direction and walking distance as well. It is by far the best vacation rental ever. It is the perfect distance to everything. Thank you for letting us stay at your beach house. ##### Erin G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teah D.

We highly recommend this house and its location. We were able to walk to restaurants and there were so many shops and groceries that were right around the corner. There’s a walking/biking trail that was 1/2 mile away that went on forever-we loved using that trail every morning! Thank you for a beautiful home! ##### Teah D.
