Beautiful house, nice walk to beach, super close to community pool which was empty most everyday we went, love Duck! Everything was so nice, love the new kitchen and downstairs king bed was super comfortable, enjoyed having breakfast on the enclosed porch and loved coffee and evening sits on the upper deck with ocean views! Hated to leave, can’t wait to come back!
