What's nearby

  • One of the northernmost towns along the coast in North Carolina, Duck is an idyllic town on the shores of the Currituck Sound. 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

Great time had by all

The house was packed with beach toys, house toys and games for the kids. There were kid and adult snacks ready when we arrived. We’ve rented houses before and this was the best stocked rental we’ve ever had. The property manager was super responsive and friendly. We loved it!

Amazing place to stay

The home is in a great location in Duck, easily accessing the shops and restaurants in one direction and the beach in the other. The home was in great condition, with the exterior freshly updated with a great outdoor shower. There’s also a large selection of bikes, boogie boards, tents and a cart to transport it all to the beach. Inside the home is beautiful, with 4 bedrooms on the second floor and another bedroom and bath on the third. All the furniture is very comfortable and in great shape. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need if you don’t feel like eating out. Communication with the management is great, quick replies and very helpful. We will definitely come back, even in the off season!

Did not stay

Upon arrival we noticed that the house was not very clean. Hairs in the bathroom, dirt on the floors, spiderwebs all over the porches. The house had a strange smell that was being covered up by air fresheners that were overwhelming. We decided to leave when we saw several cockroaches. We reached out to the owner and she said she just had the house sprayed for bugs the week before and she was actually there herself and inspected the house and it was clean. I guess our standards are just different. She refunded half of the money that we had paid which was extremely disappointing. We have stayed in several VRBO‘s and have never left one before.
