About this property
Fabulous sunsets!
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!

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.

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.

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.
Had a great time at this location - Loved the Bay access (kayaking, crabbing) and the Sunsets. Carrie was also very responsive when we ran into Wifi connectivity issues. Close to the beach (10 min walk) and easy bike ride to and from Duck. Thanks Carrie!
It wasn't a very good stay. The house itself didn't have any TVs that worked. No toilet paper, no essentials, nothing. Also, there's a tree out front that blocks the entire view of the sound. So if you want to rent a house to see the Hassan it's impossible to do that because of the gigantic tree blocking your.
The house had NO running water, the AC did NOT work and it was over 80 degrees inside the house, very dirty inside including a bad odor, outside was covered with spiders, and the landscape was not well maintained. Given those immediate observations, we chose not to inspect the hot tub as there is no way the hot tub had been maintained either. It was a surprise trip for our children for Easter weekend and had to turn around and drive 5 hours home in the middle of the night.
We had a great New Years’s vacation at this place. Hands down the best part is the hot tub overlooking the sound - hot tub sunsets are a must! But the rest of the house was great too. Jamie was super responsive every time we had a question and that helped a lot. We did experience some WiFi issues - it was shotty most of the time but really only impacted us when we couldn’t watch a movie on TV. Our phones worked just fine. The house came equipped with everything we needed for staying in, cooking meals, and being comfortable. We will def be coming back!
Thank you for a great week!! We had a wonderful time. The views are beautiful any time of the day and we loved the the house. I definitely recommend staying here. We look forward to visiting again.

Sunsets are amazing!
Beautiful, cozy house sound front. Osprey sightings every day. Close to downtown Duck. We will be back.
Many things to recommend this rental -- location on sound and near beach, well-maintained hot tub, deck, general coziness. Although many other houses are gargantuan, this one is perfect for our small family. Have appreciated the opportunity to use the Sunfish sailboat (with permission!).
Awesome house in the perfect location. We enjoyed sunsets every night from the hot tub at the house or on the dock. Walk 5 min to the beach or kayak right from the house. Very dog friendly, including dog life vests and toys. House is as described and in pictures - deck and dock are very new. Great place to stay for our first trip to the outer banks!
The property was wonderful and we loved staying here. They have a brand new dock and a great deck. 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.
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.
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.
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.
