About this property

Clean & Cozy Beach Cottage Close to the Beach

  • The Wave Den is a quaint 4-bedroom recently renovated cottage tucked away in a private cul-de-sac surrounded by live oaks in the charming Sound and Sea Village of Duck. With only a 5-minute walk (1,000 ft) to one of the best (and most dog friendly) beaches in the Outer Banks, you will be sure to make lots of great memories. There is ample outdoor space to savor the warm sunlight and cool ocean breezes during the spring, summer and fall months. And, if it gets too warm there is a shady area under the house for the kids to play and the family to gather around the grill to dine al fresco. The screened-in porch is the perfect place to quietly enjoy a cup of coffee every morning or sip a glass of wine in the evening. The Sound (beautiful sunsets) is only a short walk away. The nearby bike/walking path are great for exercising, walking the dog, or biking into the town of Duck. It’s the ideal ocean-side retreat to refresh and unwind.

Lovely Cottage

We loved this cute cottage ! Plenty of space, clean, nice size bedrooms, big decks and we loved the screened in deck. Great space to enjoy your morning coffee and playing games in the evenings. And a GREAT location, a short walk to the beach and the sound. We absolutely loved it. We definitely will be back !

Loved it

We had a wonderful time here. The house has everything you’d need for the beach, sports equipment, a peaceful screened porch, and a very cozy feeling overall. The beach is a quick walk down a private road, and we really enjoyed our time in Duck, which is quieter than other parts of the OBX but with lots of great restaurants, shops, and a terrific boardwalk on the sound.

Family beach week

We all enjoyed this cozy cottage, especially the screened porch. Room enough for all. The beach was close enough and the beach cart made taking the gear easy. Taylor, the manager was quick to help with questions we had. Nice place.

Cozy Cottage

It was our second year at the house. It is cozy and as described. Nice, private neighborhood and beach. It could use new appliances and a more thorough cleaning but we had a great stay overall. We will be back next year!

Wonderful house with amazing screened-in porch!

Even though our week coincided with a tropical storm, I treasured the time with my two teenagers and our two dogs, particular since my son is about to go to boarding school for his last two years of high school. The host was very communicative and friendly. I asked for suggestions of how we could celebrate my son’s 17th birthday and Taylor gave me quite a few options. The house is clean and adorable. We had no problem walking to the beach and so appreciated the covered space underneath to let our things dry. The hose and outdoor shower were so convenient! Our favorite place to be (especially in the rain) was in the screened in porch!! The house is right in Duck. We would definitely return!

The Wave Den is a Gem!

Our family has never been to OBX. I was toying around with the idea when the Wave Den happen to pop up across my screen from VRBO. It was such a cute little place online, though the pictures do not do it justice at all! We were at home from the moment we walked in. It’s much bigger than you think, especially underneath the house. There’s a spot for everything! Coffee is perfect on the front porch in the early am - with a gorgeous breeze. We will truly miss our pineapple whiskey nightcaps on the back deck with music. The side and front decks are amazing for the night sky after coming off the beautiful beach - especially when you turn off all the lights for the full effect! We cooked at home many nights (but ate out a lot too at all the fabulous nearby places in Duck, Corolla, Kitty Hawk) and the Wave Den has everything you need to make it all perfect - just like home. Keurig, large coffee pot, dishwasher, toaster oven, pots/pans, utensils, grilling tools, washer, dryer, nice sized bathrooms. The bookcases in the living room give it an extra comfy feel, too. The little notes, tips and recommendations on the fridge from the owners were greatly appreciated. Thank you for being so inviting and sharing the Wave Den with others. Our family will never forget this trip and will be back “for shore”!

We had a great time at this house, the location was perfect for our needs (e.g., short walk to an excellent beach); the features of the house were great (able to cook meals and dine on the screened in porch); nice quiet spot and only a short drive or bike ride to Duck proper for dinner or ice cream or walking the boardwalk. Fun taking the bike trails north to explore as well.

Very clean and quiet place. A bit dated in the bedroom furnishings and the price was reflective of needing some updates. I would absolutely stay here again. The beach wasnt crowded and most of the street are residents vs rentals.
