This shot was taken from the town's boardwalk while looking West over the sounds. It is advisable to visit the location in Winter as that is off season - so you can spend more time taking in the beauty of the North Carolina coastline and also sunsets are usually much more picturesque around the time owing to the cooler temperatures and lower amount of atmospheric haze. Plenty of things around Duck to see. Further north, there is the Currituck Lighthouse where you can climb the steps to the top of the lighthouse. North of Corolla, there is an area where you can drive along the coast on the sand - 4X4s a must. Here you can spot some Spanish Mustangs, horses out in the wild. If you're lucky, you can spot them running along the beach in the surf. I'd recommend taking a tour through the Corolla Wild Horse Fund - the money from the tours is used to help the wild horses in every which way possible and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you for stopping by and for the support. #colorful #goldenhour #weekend #waterlust #bestof5 ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6924/81a4b2b5-e4f9-4c93-9451-2d46cb0fefb1.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Duck Boardwalk 9 min walk \- 0.5 miles - ![Beachfront real estate in Corolla Beach North Carolina outer banks](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635979819890/d4d3d06b-150f-4f8e-be50-d3e0455542b7.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Corolla Beach 17 min drive \- 11.7 miles - ![Jennette\'s Pier showing general coastal views](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6250741/dce5ecdd-464b-42b0-9979-bfc80b12bf43.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Jennette's Pier 38 min drive \- 23.1 miles - ![Masts of yachts parked in marina at dusk in Pirate's Cove Marina, Manteo, North Carolina criss cross the sky. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6250735/2e047917-b6c9-43e3-8ba3-6062c8a2603a.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Pirate's Cove Marina 42 min drive \- 26.4 miles - Scarborough Lane Shoppes 11 min walk \- 0.6 miles ### Getting around - Manteo, NC (MEO-Dare County Regional) 45 min drive ### Restaurants - Duck Donuts 2 min drive - Sunset Grille & Raw Bar 3 min drive - Coastal Cravings 2 min drive - Donutz On a Stick 2 min drive - NC Coast Grill & Bar 11 min walk ## Frequently asked questions ### Does new listing, OCEANSIDE, Saltwater Pool, Family Friendly - Quiet cul-de-sac have a pool? ### Is new listing, OCEANSIDE, Saltwater Pool, Family Friendly - Quiet cul-de-sac pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at new listing, OCEANSIDE, Saltwater Pool, Family Friendly - Quiet cul-de-sac ? ### What time is check-in at new listing, OCEANSIDE, Saltwater Pool, Family Friendly - Quiet cul-de-sac ? ### What time is check-out at new listing, OCEANSIDE, Saltwater Pool, Family Friendly - Quiet cul-de-sac ? ### Where is new listing, OCEANSIDE, Saltwater Pool, Family Friendly - Quiet cul-de-sac located? ## Have a question?

The location was perfect for an easy walk to the beach and to the Duck village. Bikes are definitely the way to get around. The house had everything we needed for our stay. The pool was great and the outdoor shower was perfect for when you get back from the beach. Cleanliness of the house was really good, but I would recommend a different style rug throughout the house as the current type is very messy for socks, blankets, anything that may touch them. Would certainly stay again when we return to the OBX. ##### Christina B.

The house is laid out nicely, cozy yet felt roomy. Loved the kitchen, which was well equipped and, as the hub of activity, set up well. Downstairs entertainment area was great. Bit of a walk to the ocean but we rented a golf cart which I recommend if making multiple daily trips with beach supplies, plus a blast for shopping and errands in Duck; we never used our vehicles. The outdoor shower was wonderful, we hardly used the bathroom showers. Our hostess was amazing to deal with, all in all we had a lovely week. ##### Michael D. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine M. 18 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Place-with some critters The location was perfect for our family! We walked everywhere! This was our first stay in Duck. We didn’t realize how busy/crowded the beaches are in Duck. The beach chairs and wagon saved us with the walk to the beach! The pool was a perfect place to cool off. The portable vacuums on each floor were perfect for sand. I wished there were some cleaning products for spot checks in kitchen. We went to the store. The large, black ants were bad. There were many crawling on the floor, wall or ceiling throughout our stay. Although the place was very clean, I think it’s just part of the experience of being surrounded by beautiful, big trees providing shade and privacy! ##### Catherine M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Leslie C. 14 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house for a small group This house was great for a small group of 4\. The location to the shopping and restaurants in Duck is great. We rented a golf cart to haul our things to the beach which was really helpful. If is a bit of a walk which might be a pain with a cooler, tent etc. the beach is great with a life guard right at the access point. Overall the house was great for us. The downsides are that the spiral staircase makes carrying things up and down a bit challenging, but you can use the outside stairs for larger items. The pool and the chairs in the main floor were a bit worn and could be refreshed. The doors to the king bedroom which is on the ground floor stick and make a very loud noise when opened and closed. Not ideal if you are trying to sleep and your partner is an early riser. ##### Leslie C. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jordan R. 24 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bungalow as advertised. Good stay! Very nice place in a good location in Duck. House was clean and as advertised. Property manager was responsive and very friendly. I would stay here again, but there is one thing to note. Distance to beach is quite a walk in the heat or with chairs/coolers. I would not recommend for older adults or anyone with disabilities. This was not a problem for us since we rented a golf cart for the week, but without that, it would have been a struggle. There is limited parking available at the beach entrance, so it is possible to load and unload if you get there early enough. Highly recommend renting a golf cart for this and to cruise around the town and sight see the Duck community. That said, I was very happy with the host and rental. We would definitely stay here again. 4 stars. ##### Jordan R.

Carol was an amazing host! We were her first renters of the season and she went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed in the house. We rented bikes for the week from Duck Cycle (highly recommended) and biked everywhere! The girls (ages 12-14) were able to explore the town on their own as the bike path makes it very safe for riding! The house had the perfect layout for our group. The girls enjoyed having their own space downstairs. Carol's hospitality was much appreciated. She offered great recommendations to her favorite local restaurants. Be sure to check out Coastal Cravings (behind the BP gas station)! Their food was awesome and there's a beer garden out back with yard games and live music in the evenings). We look forward to our next visit to Duck! ##### Julie S.

There is a set of stairs up and down leading to the beach for those that have beach carts. It's a two person job to transverse the steps with a load. The house with pool was clean and well laid out for our family. Evening breezes from the 2nd floor deck were enjoyed by all. We even saw the neighborhood deer behind the property. My complaint and my fault was not reading the listing close enough. No washer/dryer. Other than that, your family will have a great time. ##### Michael B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Jul 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic Week We really enjoyed this house and it far exceeded our expectations. This cottage is nestled in the live oaks and gives you the sense of privacy. We spent a lot of time outdoors enjoying the decks, pool, seating areas, and the outdoor shower. The pool stayed half shaded for most of the day keeping the water cool and refreshing. The use of the exterior spaces has been well thought out and made this house most pleasurable. The kitchen was well equipped and the cabinetry and appliances have been recently upgraded making good use of the available space. This is a smaller, older cottage and not to be confused with a mega house. We were a group of 5 adults and a toddler, the living space was fine for us and not cramped. Its apparent that the owner has made many sensible upgrades to this house and I’m certain there will be more to come. With all that being said, I do recommend this house and we would rent it again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Rachel G. 14 Jan 2023 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Disappointed House was way smaller than expected, spiral staircase was unusually small as well. Not too big of an issue. The area is no where near as quaint and private as described, all of the houses are very close together and the street it’s off of is so busy, especially to walk on with kids. The bathrooms were dirty, downstairs bathroom shower not even usable..basically like an open spurting hose with no handle, floor peeling up in basement, had to vacuum up the couches.. they were filled with crumbs, grill unusable..vines growing throughout and spiders, it was old and needs replacing as well as awkwardly placed to where no one would want to even use it. \*Biggest issue for me was the spiders and ear wigs in the basement, after unpacking completely we realized there was a spider or ear wig on the floor in the bedroom, bathroom, or recreation area at least twice a day..eventually my husband and I had to gather all our belongings to move upstairs and have my eldest son stay downstairs with the bugs. And we could not hang out down there at all. Finally, the worst part of this trip was I asked the owner the size of the pool before booking, she wasn’t sure so she had her pool people check.. they were mistaken of the size..two of my sons are 6’3, we could not swim in this pool due to it being too small. This was a detriment to the trip, as I made sure to book a house with a pool for a reason.. sure enough the beach was closed every day due to dangerous riptides.. on top of this we told the owner the pool was dirty at the beginning of our stay, the pool people were supposed to come clean and check it like anywhere else you’d stay that has a pool..and no one came once…even after I notified the owner. My 4 year old ended up with a UTI.. we spent an entire day of vacation at the urgent care.. the doctor suggested that the dirty pool was more than likely the culprit. UTI’s are not normal for boys his age and he’s never had an issue and hasn’t since..he was put on antibiotics. Owner notified of issues at first and said they’d be addressed..when I notified her of issues further into the stay, she stopped responding. All in all our vacation was ruined. We really don’t have an income to be going anywhere but because I was pregnant at the time decided to go on one last trip with the kids, and decided to just put the trip on credit, now we continue to pay off this disappointment of a trip, when we would’ve been better off going nowhere. Kitchen was nice. ##### Rachel G. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022 ---
