Tar Valier | 1775 ft from the beach | Dog Friendly, Private Pool, Hot Tub | Duck
Welcome to Tar-Valier A beautiful oceanside, dog-friendly, property with a fenced yard and tons of extras for the people too! Enjoy the convenience of your own golf cart (no drivers under 21 please) for easy access to the beach, or strap on a helmet and ride bikes (bring your own or rent with the $250 in-season credit) into Duck Village for shopping, water sports or just relaxing on a sound side deck with a drink.
Designed with Comfort in Mind The entire family, Fido included, will love the coastal charm and comfortable interior layout! The tower room offers incredible views from the ocean to sound to watch the sunrise and set, spend quality time with your family while enjoying the moon over the Atlantic Ocean, or just relax with a book. The kitchen is set up for the most discriminating gourmet with a gas cooktop, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of workspaces.
Indoor & Outdoor Fun Soak up the sun watching the little ones in the pool, while those with a red back and face recover in the media/rec room with a large, wide-screen Smart TV/DVD/stereo surround sound, pool table, and wet bar. Is the rec room getting too loud? Retire to the comfortable den or privacy of your bedroom to take in a movie (all bedrooms have Roku internet TV with Netflix). The hot tub is high on the deck to provide breathtaking views of the stars while the crew relaxes, or for just the two of you to enjoy a romantic evening beneath the sky!
Room to Run... or Relax Your four-legged friends will be thrilled that they can walk with you on jogging/bike paths through Duck and meet new friends along the way! They will also love going to the beach, or just relaxing outside on a shaded deck. The fenced-in yard with dog gates at the decks gives you pup freedom to play while you are lounging by the pool. Everyone will find the perfect vacation at Tar-Valier, no matter how different you are!

Christmas at the Beach
Property was as described. We spent Christmas weekend at the house with our extended family (10 people). Plenty of space for us all to spread out. Big kitchen so we could all eat meals together. The kitchen felt small and there wasn't a lot of space to store food. Short 5 minute walk to the beach. It was a very cold weekend so we didn't get a chance to use the outside decks but there was a lot of space outside to gather and enjoy the outside. Fenced in pool area and a separate fenced in yard so the dogs could run around.

Beautiful town… very quaint, lovely boardwalk with great shops.
House was nice… use of golf cart to get to beach was an added bonus
Concerning was the black mold around the air conditioning vents. Owners have reminders for guests to keep windows closed as mold will develop. We also found moldy shower curtains in a few of the bathrooms. We luckily didn’t need to use the air as the weather was cool. Overall a good trip… I would inquire about the cleaning of vents should I stay again in the area.

Spring Break
A good time with our family at a good place. It was a very pleasant 8 day week. Only problem was very cool weather as temperatures were near 60 or below. We have been on the OBX many times mostly at winter break with temperatures 10-15 degrees warmer sometimes, but weather is beyond the control of anyone. We enjoyed our time together very much and Tar Valier was a good fit for us.

Amazing stay, great location, super dog friendly!
We loved Tar Valier! My husband and I wanted a quick getaway after our wedding as our honeymoon is a couple of months out. It was more than enough space for two adults and even more fun for our pup! Huge kitchen, great outdoor space and having the golf cart for a quick ride down to the beach was key!
Lots of wasps outside around the house and inside the screened in porch, but that was the only downfall. Happy they were outside:) otherwise we would definitely rent this home again in a heartbeat, especially with a large group!

House was awesome
Only reason this stay was not excellent was due to pool being closed when promised it would be open (main reason we rented this house) and the tvs in the bedrooms only have Netflix and they continue to search for service about every 5 minutes making watching tv in bed not a thing!!
Other than that…The owner was awesome the staff was awesome and we had a great time. This is a great house to go too!!
Would rent again for sure.

Great Location and Spacious
The house was clean, spacious for two families with small kids (lots of stairs, FYI). Location was great - 6 min walk to the beach and the use of the golf cart for transporting people and beach gear was a huge bonus! Kitchen was great and had all we needed for cooking. If staying with a big group and for longer than a few days, you will need to bring or purchase things like garbage bags, toilet paper and DW detergent. Overall, great stay for us.
