We want to give you a preview of our beach house located just north of Duck, North Carolina. We're excited that you're thinking about renting the place, and we hope you'll have a great visit to the Outer Banks! Our cute little place is soundfront. There's a bench swing in the tree behind the house where you can swing by the water's edge, and there is a set of stairs that lead from the back yard down into the water. The beach is a short walk away on the other side of the island - it's a 5 minute walk. There's a wide, paved bike path that passes in front of our place and leads into the little town of Duck, about two miles away. The house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms connected by a jack-and-jill bathroom. One of the bedrooms has two twin beds, and the other bedroom has a queen size bed and a sitting area with a television and dvd player. There is also a balcony that is only accessible from the large upstairs bedroom. There is also a master bedroom on the main level. On the main level, there is a great room. There is a dining table that seats six, and there is an island with seating for two between the kitchen and the dining area. In the living area, there is a love seat, a couch, and a chair in addition to a television and dvd player. There is also a non-working fireplace for ambiance in cooler months. There is also a master bedroom and bathroom on the main level. There are three sliding glass doors that lead out from the great room onto the deck that wraps around two sides of the house. The deck faces the Currituck Sound, so you can see the sun set over the water each evening. There is also an additional extension to the deck that holds a hot tub. A door leads from the kitchen out to a screened in porch where you can enjoy outdoor dining, and the porch exits to the deck. Under the house, there is a laundry room and an enclosed outdoor shower. There is also space to park under the house if you want. The kitchen is fully stocked with nearly any dish or cooking equipment you might need. We leave some things in the refrigerator and freezer empty, such as condiments. You'll find that there is a cabinet with some oil and spices, and there may be another shelf with pantry items that we leave at the house. You are welcome to use anything you find in the refrigerator or cabinets; we'll just ask that you replace anything that you use up. This is atypical with beach house rentals, but this way you don't have to remember to bring your own salt shaker, and we don't have to clean out every speck of evidence that we spend time here, too. We also have an extra closet with a lock on in the master bedroom on the main floor where we our clothes and toys for our visits. Nothing interesting really, just our personal stuff. We have several board games and puzzles that are available for you to use, and you're welcome to use any of the beach toys and chairs in the storage room. There are two kayaks and a surfboard on the rack under the deck; you are welcome to use those. Please don't attempt to use the sailboats unless you are an experienced sailor and have checked with us ahead of time about using them. One of the best things about the location of our house is experiencing sunset over the Currituck Sound! We hope you have a great vacation! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Freezer - Ice maker - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shower ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,200 square feet ## Similar properties ![Indoor pool, outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31440000/31430900/31430865/ad61c0cb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beachfront Home with Outdoor Pool and New Indoor Pool/Hot Tub/Sauna/Rec Center Duck - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.2 Wonderful 94 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=31430865&PinnedHotelID=31430865&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/48000000/47090000/47084000/47083932/c2ca5427.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 300 YARDS from the OCEAN FRONT!!!

Overall, the property is nice, although it definitely needs a good cleaning, particularly the outside. There were spiderwebs and spiders everywhere outside all over the furniture side of the house the doorways, especially the screened in porch was basically unusable. Host was very helpful and attentive when it came to checking in and communicating even allowed us to check in a little bit early, which was great. Only suggestion would be to give the house a good exterior cleaning and things would’ve been a lot better. Would recommend however, location was good. Also, the grass was not mowed when we got there. It was ankle tall. They did end up mowing it a couple of days after we got there and it looked a lot better. ##### Benjamin C. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven P.

They’re minutes away from downtown duck. Downside is it’s right on the road so you hear cars going by. There are also a ton of bugs that get in the house every time you open the doors. But they’ve got kayaks, crab traps and corn hole so we had ourselves a fun time. And the inside of the property was clean. Bring your own sheets and towels. ##### Christina F. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jennifer T. Jun 29, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location #### ? Upon arrival, the house was right on the main road and was noticeably easy to find. We were able to check in early after an 11 hour drive. When we arrived the house was your topical waterside beach house, beautiful view of the sound and a hot tub. When entering our rooms the beds only had mattress covers and some pillows. We luckily brought some of our own from home but we didn’t realize we were supposed to bring our own sheets and blankets as well for 5 people. Then when we wanted to take a shower after being in the hot air and car for such a long time we also were told we were supposed to bring our own towels. Back in the car we had to go to find a Walmart to be able to go furnish our home for the next week. My child has a disability and requires internet and Bluetooth capabilities etc. Logged into DSL but it too was not working even after rebooting etc. I understand that it’s an island but this was never resolved so every night I had to worry was my child ok and was she going to have an emergency in her sleep and so I’ll just say I didn’t get much rest on my only vacation I was able to get away for this year. The bedrooms had transparent curtains so if you love being woken up at the crack of dawn with sun blaring in your face after finally getting to sleep with car lights passing in your windows until 2am, have fun. The house AC works well at night but struggles during the hot days and even though you have it set to 74 the house will go up to 86.Spiders everywhere ##### Jennifer T.

Sep 24, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Can't beat the view Nice house, right on the sound that offers a beautiful sunset view. The house is close to the beach (about a .3 mile walk) and offers plenty of toys -- from kayaks to bikes, etc. The hot tub offered a relaxing place to hang out at night. The location is on a busy road and at night the lights from traffic come streaming in the master bedroom. It's very annoying and could be easily fixed with black out shades or curtains. The house could use a deep cleaning inside and out. There were lots of spiders but not sure if its just because of the time of year or not. ##### Beverly S. Stayed 11 nights in Sep 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Carolyn O. Sep 8, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Family Vaca Pictures are not accurate for the house. You cannot see the water unless you’re standing in one particular corner of the deck only and house was filthy. Spiders and ants were constant. We were always having to put food away and clean countertops. House was not dusted windows were filthy and on top of that customers are asked to vacuum the house before they leave so obviously no one’s cleaning it. Could not enjoy eating outside on the deck, because the road noise was awful-no restful sleep the entire time we stayed because of the road noise. Pay very close attention to reviews. ##### Carolyn O. Stayed 12 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### David C. Jul 7, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### 4th of July stay The property is a great location. On the sound for fishing,crabbing, kayaking etc., short walk to the beach as advertised. Short drive to cute little town of Duck. The bedrooms would benefit from some kind of black out shades. Can see headlights from the street traffic throughout the night and the sun shines through first thing in the morning. Would also benefit from fans to decrease the noise of the street, some ceiling fans in the home are cause more squeaking old noise then being beneficial to use. Would also be beneficial for all if the house was cleaner. The air ducts are full of dust which decreases the air flow throughout the house decreasing the efficiency of the central air. Utensil tray was very dirty…had to wash all utensils and leave on the side during the stay. With some low cost upgrades and cleaning this place would be wonderful. Being charged a cleaning fee is fine with me if the place is clean and I’m not asked to vacuum at the end of my stay. ##### David C. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lyndsey G. Jul 9, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### OBX Everything was pretty nice, we loved the location, & the layout of the house was good. The wi-fi password was incorrect in the info provided by the host- therefore we could not watch tv or use anything requiring wi-fi which was NOT what we came expecting. The host COMPLETELY ignored us AND VRBO when we contacted the host directly & VRBO could not get the host to respond either. The microwave also isn’t working either. I don’t appreciate having to make videos to prove things aren’t working that should be-while I’m on vacation. VRBO isn’t for me-there’s too much lack of accountability when something goes wrong. No refund- if the host & info is incorrect, they’ve got your $$ & no one really cares! Still a nice place-I suspect the internet got cut off by the provider & that’s why they refused to communicate with us or VRBO- but it’s a nice place you just better be prepared the wi-fi & microwave might not really work. ##### Lyndsey G.

The house was clean and fit all of our needs. The road noise, mentioned by others, was almost non-existent thanks to the white noise generators. We really liked the location since it was a short drive to Corolla as well as Kitty Hawk and the main areas on Hwy 158. The hot tub was fantastic in the frigid upper 20s temperatures! Since it was so cold and because of the 6 inches of snow we received we did not get to enjoy the pier but in warmer weather, I'm sure it would be a wonderful place to hang out. The ONLY issue, and it would have been a non-issue had we known in advance, was that towels and bedsheets are not provided. Out of 20+ stays at VRBO's and, the other company I can't mention in this review, we had never encountered this. There were a few towels but we didn't realize we needed sheets until we got ready to go to bed the first night. The next day we drove to Belk's, a short 15-minute drive, and bought some sheets and towels. Problem solved. Communication was quick. We would definitely stay at this location again. ##### Buddy A.

Apr 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An early Spring Break We were desperate for a break from world and national events and this place provided the perfect remedy. Late March is not the time to head to Duck if you are planning to spend your days lounging on the beach soaking up the sun. The beach is an easy 10 minute walk (quicker if you don't have a dog that needs to smell every blade of grass he passes). Max really enjoyed his daily beach time off leash! The house suited us perfectly, very casual and comfortable. Although the hot tub was not working during our stay, the gas fireplace (no durolog necessary) was a delightful surprise! Being retired we are able to avoid places during the high season so I can't really speak to a lot of traffic noise. I think it is more noticeable when you first arrive, but it soon fades into the background and is replaced by the beautiful views of the sound. The well supplied kitchen was very helpful and made provisioning much easier. Loved the location and access to Duck and Corolla. We had a great Wild Horse Adventure tour and it was a treat touring the 4 wheel drive beach. A huge plus for us was the fully enclosed deck that allowed the dog to wander safely. We had a great time and I would not hesitate to return. ##### Sylvia B. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### kenneth e. Sep 22, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### NOT AS IN PICTURES We were quite alarmed to walk into a warm house with an upright air conditioner BENTED out the sliding glass door ( closure of said door was black duct tape. The air conditioner window unit in downstairs bedroom was held in place with painters tape. The upstairs bedroom same. The WiFi password did not work. There was no written indication of beach access ( finally found a magnet on the side of the fridge that said we were Sound Sea subdivision) called the number for Jaime that was Lin the “ book” it went straight to “ the mailbox is full” sent a text to said number. Front great room very hot ( stand up thing does nothing and while downstairs bedroom DID get cold eventually, it was not enough to cool the front room) After no response from property manager, we called VRBO and they put us on hold while THEY tried to call property manger, to no avail. Spiders, atwo cockroaches. Yes we could have lived w a few bugs but the ac and no wifi was definitely an issue. House looks great in the pictures but IT NO LONGER LOOKS like that! It’s a shame because pier was nice and deck was nice and was close to the beach but until the Owner invests in REAL AC and does a good cleaning and insect treatment and gets blackout blinds for the window ( not bamboo shades and painters tape) I would not rent this. ##### kenneth e.

This house has great potential, but the upkeep and cleanliness are bad. Since the newer reviews did not mention uncleanliness I thought perhaps, the owners had taken the advice of previous reviews and deep cleaned their property. I was wrong! The decks are dirty and the screened in porch where the grill is, is so bad it’s unusable! Cobwebs, dust, spiders in almost every corner. Ceiling fans black with dust. Walls, lamps, chair rails covered in dust. Windows dirty. Porches covered in cobwebs, spiders and tree debris. Had to clean the deck chairs and a corner of the deck before we could even sit down. No linens at all in the house so I had to clean with the paper towels I brought. Washer and dryer are not in the house but underneath in a small storage area which is covered in cobwebs. Had to wear a baseball cap in there to keep the cobwebs out of my hair. Nothing about the checkout procedure here on the VRBO app, but when you get to the house and look at their book, they ask you to vacuum the house before you leave. Really?? After I had to practically clean it before I could even start vacation. Beware folks, the owners are not paying attention to the reviews. Way too expensive! The cleanliness of the property overshadowed anything good here. If the property owners decide to deep clean please post a response here so other folks will know you’ve cleaned up. It’s really such a shame. ##### Elizabeth D. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Suzanne L. Nov 9, 2022 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Nice getaway in OBX The property had everything we needed: great location, beautiful sunsets over the sound, short bike ride to the beach (they offer one bike), pet friendly, and an amazing hot tub! The house was comfortable and well lived in. I felt the communication with the owner was slow, although eventually all questions and requests were answered. The house needs some deep cleaning inside and out. A few updates would go a long way to improve the feel of the house because it does have a great layout. Relaxing and watching TV was complicated and reception was spotty. Overall, it was a good experience and we appreciate the hospitality. ##### Suzanne L.

Limited entertainment options, insects a problem, advertised nightly rate is not close to the actual nightly cost. ##### Richard H.
