Rustic and cozy OBX cottage "The Cozy Duck" 4 bd 2 ba, only 500 ft from beach

Welcome to "The Cozy Duck", a charming 4 bedroom 2 bath cottage in beautiful Duck surrounded by live oaks and with a ground floor outdoor shower. Wake up early and walk 500 feet straight to a direct private street beach access (only for residents and guests on this street; there is no public access) to enjoy that amazing sunrise over the ocean. Downtown Duck is less than 1 mile away, making for a quick walk or bike ride to the famous Duck Donuts, outstanding restaurants, excellent boutique shops, and enjoy the beautiful sunset on the boardwalk on the sound.

Once you enter the house you will instantly be transported to vintage OBX with the rustic charm of beautiful knotty pine paneling. The living, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms are all on one level with a bonus loft upstairs. There is a TV with Roku in the living room as well as in the loft area (where there are an assortment of boardgames and children's toys). There are plenty of restaurants in Duck if you wish to avoid cooking entirely during your stay, but the kitchen is stocked for your culinary activities including pots, pans, baking sheets, flatware, glasses, a toaster oven, microwave, coffee maker (bring your k-cups or ground) and dishes. We also have wireless internet to keep everyone connected to school or work.

Our home offers 1 queen bed (firm), 1 full bed (soft), 2 twins and 2 sets of bunks. All updated mattresses, quilts, and linens! It is best suited for small families or groups, but our beds offer flexible sleeping arrangements. Please note the top bunks are for young children only and not adult use.

Enjoy some peace and quiet on the top deck, or chill out in the shade in the porch on the main level. In the front driveway is a basketball hoop and plenty of greenspace for tossing around a football. We do have two Weber charcoal kettle grills and picnic table available as well.

We love our dog and welcome your dogs too (pet fee extra of $150). Sorry, no kitties or any other animals since our children are highly allergic to felines. We do limit to a maximum of 2 well behaved pups and ask that you try to keep them off the beds and furniture. We want our guests to enjoy the lawn, so please also scoop the poop!

Duck is one of the dog-friendlier beach towns in OBX. Dogs are allowed on the beach year-round in Duck as long as they are leashed.

This home is strictly for NONSMOKERS (vaping is also not permitted).

There is also a washer and dryer on the ground floor. We also provide a beach buggy, a tent, a shade umbrella and 8 new beach chairs.

Please let us know if you notice anything broken or missing.

Freshly laundered linens and towels are always provided!

Thank you for checking out our home. We hope to host you soon!

***Please make sure to bring your own supply of personal items such as soaps, shampoo, k cups, laundry pods, dishwashing liquid, trash bags, or ziplock bags.

Great spot!
They so s a nice house with a smart layout. Very clean considering it is pet friendly. Sure some things could use a little updating but overall is in great shape and an awesome location just off the beach. Beach chairs and toys included made packing easier, the kitchen had tons of pots and dishes, way more than we have at home. Highly recommend if you're ok with a comfy home rather a modern brand new option.

Beach fun
We loved the proximity to the beautiful, private beach. The house had plenty of room for us and having two bathrooms made things easy. The town of Duck was convenient too. We enjoyed checking out the shops. Definitely get a boil dinner and cook yourself some redfish (also called drum). It’s easy and very tasty.

Just what we needed
This was a perfect little spot for our family of 7, plus furbaby. It's not huge or fancy but had the space we needed, was clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and the location was ideal. The host was A++ in every way!

Great beach house for our family!
We enjoyed our stay at this house and I loved being able to enjoy my morning coffee on the screen porch while listening to the waves crashing. It was like being in a tree house! That said, there are a lot of stairs. Ok for us but it could be a struggle for others. I liked the bedroom and bathroom split also - my husband and I slept on one side of house while my son and his family slept on the other.

Great place in Duck!
We had a great time at the cozy duck over Labor Day weekend! The check in/check out process was very easy. Thought it was the right amount of space for 4-6 adults to stay. Loved that we were a short walk from the beach! And if you enjoy walking a bit more, you can easily walk to shops and food in town. Overall great experience, would recommend!

What a week...start to finish
Family vacation... we needed to be together, but have our own space too as we all have our own lives. Cozy duck was as advertised with multiple decks, porches and rooms to make it comfortable for both. House was clean, modern, upkeep of property was obvious. Cute little plusses such as extra blankets, games and suggestion made it more comfortable. Owners absolutely amazing from start to finish. Organized, friendly and quick to answer any issues. At the end of our stay we were hit with tail end of hurricane. Susan checked in and kept us updated. Check in and out ckean and efficient. GREAT location to beach, which was clean and friendly. Town of Duck was close, amazing and low key. Had everything needed in a compact space. Highly recommend, just go !!!

Great location!
The Cozy Duck is a quaint little cottage in the most perfect location! So close to the beach and town. It was perfect for our family of 4 and could accommodate even more. This was our first visit to Duck and we would definitely return!!
