We had a wonderful time staying here! It’s a fabulous location, and the house had plenty of space for everyone. The pool and hot tub were a perfect way to end the day after the beach! We hope we can come back soon!

Location was great, short easy walk both into town and to the beach. The host was very communicative. Very well stocked kitchen. The property had just changed to county water when we arrived & the owner indicated they were considering a full house titration system. I’d recommend that as the water in the showers didn’t smell great & we had to cook with bottled water due to taste.The number of bedrooms was great for all for of our kids to have their own space and having the hot tub and pool was great too. The outdoor shower was really useful & there were well stocked beach supply bins with boogie boards & beach chairs. We added to the boogie board collection. Beds were very firm, which wasn’t our preference, but the pillows were comfy & couches snd chairs were very comfortable.All in all, it was an enjoyable stay and good value for the price, especially in Duck - which is the best town in the outer banks in our opinion. We would come back.

Location was wonderful. Pool and hot tub were very nice and clean. House and decor could use some TLC. A bit hard use in the house. Rooms are TINY. May sleep 10 but couldn’t imagine hosting 10 people in the living area. No view of ocean. Owners will need to step it up in comparison to other rentals. But we did enjoy our stay.
