Tucked into the quiet Carolina Dunes community in Duck, Mess’n Around is a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath oceanside retreat made for slow mornings, salty air, and easy coastal living. This is the kind of place where shoes come off at the door, mornings start with coffee and sea breezes, and every day ends with a sunset worth remembering. Wake up early and head just 1,039 feet to the beach for sunrise over the Atlantic, where the sky glows soft pink and gold and the only sounds are waves and seabirds. Spend your afternoons floating in the private pool, approximately 12’ x 25’, letting the kids splash while you relax nearby with a book and cold drink in hand. As the day winds down, head up to the rooftop deck for sweeping sunset views over the sound, or settle into the screened-in porch and watch the colors fade from the sky. The home itself is bright, comfortable, and thoughtfully updated, featuring refreshed bathrooms, luxury vinyl plank flooring, granite countertops, and updated furniture and décor that feels easy and coastal without trying too hard. Every bedroom has its own TV with streaming devices, so everyone can unwind their own way after a full day of sun and sand. A Keurig makes mornings simple, on-site laundry keeps life effortless, and a charcoal grill is ready for fresh Outer Banks seafood nights. The fully fenced backyard makes Mess’n Around a favorite for families traveling with dogs (no cats, please). After a day at the beach, your pup can safely stretch their legs while you fire up the grill and enjoy dinner under the open sky. As part of the Carolina Dunes community, you also have soundside access with a pier just about 1,600 feet away on the west side of Canvasback Drive - perfect for evening walks, kayaking, or watching the sun melt into the water. You’re only about two miles from Duck Town Park, scenic nature trails, and the beloved Duck Boardwalk, a mile-long stretch of shops, waterfront dining, and sunset views that captures everything people love about the Outer Banks. Between quiet beach mornings, poolside afternoons, soundside sunsets, and evenings under the stars, Mess’n Around isn’t just a place to stay - it’s the setting for your next favorite Duck memories on the Outer Banks. Pack a little lighter as Mess'n Around provides linens! This property is pet-friendly (dogs only please, NO cats). There is an additional charge for guests bringing pets, which will be added and collected after booking. Pet fees range from $161-231 depending on the property, and will be assessed state and local taxes.

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. Thank you for stopping by and for the support. #colorful #goldenhour #weekend #waterlust #bestof5 ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6924/81a4b2b5-e4f9-4c93-9451-2d46cb0fefb1.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Duck Boardwalk 4 min drive \- 3.7 km - ![Beachfront real estate in Corolla Beach North Carolina outer banks](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635979819890/d4d3d06b-150f-4f8e-be50-d3e0455542b7.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Corolla Beach 12 min drive \- 12.9 km - ![Wright Brothers National Memorial which includes a statue or sculpture](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6066265/3480b2d9-f7dc-4911-a568-cdd6da374537.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Wright Brothers National Memorial 28 min drive \- 26.6 km - ![Jennette\'s Pier featuring general coastal views](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6250741/dce5ecdd-464b-42b0-9979-bfc80b12bf43.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Jennette's Pier 43 min drive \- 42.7 km - Nor'Banks Sailing 2 min drive \- 1.4 km ### Getting around - Manteo, NC (MEO-Dare County Regional) 47 min drive ### Restaurants - Duck Donuts 4 min drive - Sunset Grille & Raw Bar 3 min drive - Coastal Cravings 4 min drive - Donutz On a Stick 5 min drive - NC Coast Grill & Bar 5 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Ocean and sunrise views from the rooftop deck at Mess'n Around! pet-friendly? ### What time is check-in at Ocean and sunrise views from the rooftop deck at Mess'n Around!? ### What time is check-out at Ocean and sunrise views from the rooftop deck at Mess'n Around!? ### Where is Ocean and sunrise views from the rooftop deck at Mess'n Around! located? ## Have a question?
