This magical spot offers a private courtyard garden with many birds and pollinators, multiple spots for relaxing, a mermaid fountain, and a dreamy outdoor shower, all within walking distance to the heart of Duck's 5-star restaurants and shopping! The beach and private access steps are only 3 houses away...Sunsets over the sound on the Duck boardwalk (loaded with water fowl) are within a short walk to the end of this street. Perfect for solo retreats, couples get away or for introverts that do not want to stay in the larger homes with 60 of their family members! This is an ideal spot to start that book or finish that painting! It lends itself to being at peace and letting wordly cares drift out to sea. RELAX at this unique and tranquil getaway. Bikes, beach chairs, beach cart, coolers, towels and boogie boards provided,just bring flip-flops! This is the downstairs unit of my private home, so NO STEPS, yay, however one may hear foot or paw steps, but we are very respectful. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchenette - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 1 accessible parking space - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Electric car charging station - Garden ## Similar properties ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115260000/115257200/115257122/f80c3edc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 1BR Condo w/ Pool & Beach Access Kitty Hawk - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 6.0 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-17&endDate=2025-12-18&selected=115257122&PinnedHotelID=115257122&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Indoor pool, outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/2000000/1980000/1973100/1973020/24cb1c1d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Barrier Island Station Kitty Hawk - Pool - Hot tub - Washer - Dryer 7.8 Good 305 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-17&endDate=2025-12-18&selected=1973020&PinnedHotelID=1973020&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76890000/76887200/76887117/7128dafa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A quiet retreat and perfect for your getaway to the Outer Banks!
