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 2 min drive \- 0.7 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 37 min drive \- 22.7 miles - Scarborough Lane Shoppes 2 min drive \- 0.9 miles - Aqua Spa 2 min drive \- 0.9 miles - Greenleaf Gallery 2 min drive \- 0.9 miles ### Getting around - Manteo, NC (MEO-Dare County Regional) 42 min drive ### Restaurants - Duck Donuts 4 min drive - Sunset Grille & Raw Bar 4 min drive - Coastal Cravings 3 min drive - Donutz On a Stick 4 min drive - NC Coast Grill & Bar 3 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Does How Sweet The Sound: Pool | Walk to Duck Village have a pool? ### Is How Sweet The Sound: Pool | Walk to Duck Village pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at How Sweet The Sound: Pool | Walk to Duck Village? ### What time is check-in at How Sweet The Sound: Pool | Walk to Duck Village? ### What time is check-out at How Sweet The Sound: Pool | Walk to Duck Village? ### Where is How Sweet The Sound: Pool | Walk to Duck Village located? ## Have a question?

We appreciate the spacious room that the house provided for our large family. The kitchen was a great size, and all of the utensils and dishes that we would have wanted or needed were provided. Plenty of extra blankets were available if and when we needed. We did not rate this property as excellent / 5 stars because the house was not clean 100% when we arrived. Dressers still had personal items in them, things like bandaid wrappers and other trash were located under beds and around nightstands, and the garbage cans outside were overflowing and completely full when we arrived. We had to call twice and they were not emptied until late the second day we were there. Overall, we still had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the property. ##### Nicole C.
