About this property

Duck OBX | Panoramic Views, Private Pool & Hot Tub | Steps to Beach

  • Perched on one of Duck's highest dunes in the sought-after Ocean Crest community, How Sweet The Sound delivers something rare on the Outer Banks: genuine panoramic views spanning both the Atlantic Ocean and the Currituck Sound from a single home. This bright, fully updated 4-bedroom retreat sleeps up to 10 and surrounds your group with resort-level amenities — a private pool, hot tub, fire pit, community pickleball and tennis courts, and a private beach access just 705 yards away. One mile from Duck Village's waterfront boardwalk, boutique shops, and award-winning restaurants, this is the OBX getaway that covers every kind of vacation day, from active to completely unplugged.

    Elevated on a high dune at the southern edge of Duck Village, How Sweet The Sound commands sweeping ocean-to-sound views that greet you the moment you step inside. The open-concept main living area is flooded with natural light and features freshly updated coastal-inspired furnishings (2026) along with a wet bar. From the granite countertops and hardwood floors to the fully renovated bathrooms — every detail is designed for modern comfort without sacrificing the relaxed Outer Banks character guests come here for.

    The kitchen is generously stocked with appliances and serving dishes for the whole group. An additional full-size refrigerator in the garage keeps extra groceries, beverages, and the catch of the day perfectly cool.

    Bedrooms and Sleeping
    King Suite 1 — upper level, private renovated en-suite bath with walk-in shower

    King Suite 2 — upper level, private renovated en-suite bath with walk-in shower

    Bedroom 3 — 2 Twins, great for kids or traveling companions

    Bedroom 4 — Pyramid Bunkbed + sleep sofa (new 4" memory foam mattress)

    All bedrooms updated with new mattresses (2025) and hardwood flooring.

    Outdoor Living
    The private pool is the centerpiece of the backyard experience — surrounded by four chaise loungers and open to big sky above. After sunset, gather around the fire pit for s'mores and stargazing, or soak in the hot tub under the stars.

    Steps from the property, your Ocean Crest community membership unlocks a second outdoor pool, dedicated pickleball courts, and tennis courts — an exceptional value for active groups. The private beach access boardwalk is just 705 yards from the front door.

    Location: Duck's Sweet Spot
    Positioned just south of Duck Village in the quiet Ocean Crest subdivision, this home places guests within easy walking or biking distance of everything Duck is known for — without the noise of the town center. The 6-mile Duck multi-use trail runs directly along Duck Road, connecting the neighborhood to boutique shopping, the soundside boardwalk, and 11-acre Duck Town Park (kayak launch, amphitheater, live music events, playground).

We really enjoyed this home. Perched on a hill(!) you can see both the bay and the ocean. The layout worked well for us with “kid” bedrooms on the first level and two masters on upper levels. As a family that loves to cook, we found the kitchen adequate. There were things that we don’t often find in beach houses, but also some things missing (like a kettle for hot water). Not on the property listing (that I noticed) was beach chairs! For others, this may save you packing them in your car. :)

Generally this house was exactly what we needed and were looking for during our stay in OBX. We appreciate the spacious room that the house provided for our large family. The kitchen was a great size, and all of the utensils and dishes that we would have wanted or needed were provided. Plenty of extra blankets were available if and when we needed. We did not rate this property as excellent / 5 stars because the house was not clean 100% when we arrived. Dressers still had personal items in them, things like bandaid wrappers and other trash were located under beds and around nightstands, and the garbage cans outside were overflowing and completely full when we arrived. We had to call twice and they were not emptied until late the second day we were there. Overall, we still had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the property.
