The house is in a great location and was kept very neat and clean. The shower drain in the 3rd floor master bedroom is backed up. I think it has been that way for some time because it already was before we used it the first time. I would stay here again.

Loafing around in Duck
It was a wonderful house loved it!! The only problem was the beach access was difficult trying to get up and down the sand dune . It was probably one of the best houses I’ve stayed in and we have been going down to OBX for past 15 yrs . Very well stocked kitchen etc. Rooms were wonderful . Really enjoyed it .

Excellent Stay
The house was beautiful and very well stocked. The elevator was a huge bonus for my mom and was very helpful for bringing up luggage and groceries. We loved the private pool. The community was wonderful but wish we were just a little closer to the beach.

Great Place for a Family Vacation
We stayed at the property for a week. Total family members were 8, which is the right amount for a house this size. The place was very nice. Kitchen was well appointed, pool was nice size and kept perfectly clean. Our biggest complaint was that we were informed less than a month before our vacation that the elevator was not in operation and wasn't going to be working until December. Our oldest granddaughter (5YO) has CP (cerebral palsy) and we picked this property specifically because it had an elevator. There are three floors in this house with the main floor on top. It made if very hard for her to climb the stairs and made it very hard to unload our cars at the beginning of the stay. I don't understand why the elevator was not able to be repaired in a reasonable time and should have been since it was advertised as a big positive for the house. Big disappointment!!

Great location and property
Loafing around in Duck was a beautiful property. The views from the decks were amazing. The location was perfect with a short 5 minute walk to get to a gorgeous beach. The beach was not over crowded like so many beaches are because there is no public access, it is just for locals or people staying in the area. We were also just a short drive into Duck or even Corolla to the north. Because we arrived in a Saturday our drive into Duck took a lot longer than anticipated because of the amount of traffic though. During the week however, the traffic was less heavy and it was easy to get around.
The house had more than enough space for our party of 8. The 4 children in our party could not get enough of the pool. It was the perfect size and the water started to warm up as the week went on. The adults really enjoyed the hot tub as well.
The one downfall I would say was the lack of commodity items like dish soap, extra toilet paper, paper towel, even seasonings in the kitchen. It would have been great to have a little more of that provided to us, but we were able to buy what we needed from the store. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and dishes though. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our time and would definitely stay here again if we are in the Duck area.

The house was perfect for our family and cleaned well. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Enjoyable experience and good communication with property manager. Our only issue was that the wrong code to get in the house was given to us and we are thankful we arrived before the office closed so we could get the correct code. Other than that everything was wonderful.

Perfect setting
This home was perfect for our large family group. The rooms are laid out so everyone could have their own private spots but living area large enough for everyone to gather together for socializing and meals. The kitchen was nicely stocked with dishes and cookware. The elevator was a plus for getting luggage to different levels without lugging it up the stairs. Great location with easy walk to the beach. Swimming pool area very nice. Would definitely stay here again.
