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 4 min drive \- 2.3 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 12 min drive \- 8.0 miles - ![Wright Brothers National Memorial featuring a statue or sculpture](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6066265/3480b2d9-f7dc-4911-a568-cdd6da374537.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Wright Brothers National Memorial 28 min drive \- 16.6 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 43 min drive \- 26.5 miles - Nor'Banks Sailing 20 min walk \- 1.1 miles ### Getting around - Manteo, NC (MEO-Dare County Regional) 51 min drive ### Restaurants - Duck Donuts 4 min drive - Sunset Grille & Raw Bar 3 min drive - Coastal Cravings 4 min drive - Donutz On a Stick 5 min drive - NC Coast Grill & Bar 5 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Ocean + sound views | Soooo close to the beach! pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Ocean + sound views | Soooo close to the beach!? ### What time is check-in at Ocean + sound views | Soooo close to the beach!? ### What time is check-out at Ocean + sound views | Soooo close to the beach!? ### Where is Ocean + sound views | Soooo close to the beach! located? ## Have a question?

We really loved the layout of the house with the open kitchen and living space and plenty of counter space for food prep and hanging out as a family. House is kid friendly, we were able to block off the stairs for our 18month old to keep her in the main living area upstairs. The rooms were comfy and all had bathrooms. The downstairs mini fridge was great for pool beverages and the bathroom downstairs was easy access from the pool. We did have a little issue with the pool “shocking” us and I worried for my littles. But none the less, the pool was very used and the shocks seemed harmless. The location to the beach was awesome and the wagon was so helpful for carrying stuff and little ones down! We really did enjoy our stay overall and would consider coming back, just wish the pool wasn’t an issue. ##### Haley C.

We enjoyed time both at the beach and in downtown village. The house is perfectly located on a quiet street with a few minutes walk to the beach. The access to the beach is on the same street as the house so very easy. Morning and evening strolls on the beach were quiet and relaxing. A nice touch was the bicycles included at the house when we wanted to go into Duck's downtown on the sound side. The bike ride is less than 15 minutes and the downtown area is very bike friendly. The house had plenty of room for the six of us (two adults, four older kids). The kitchen has a great set-up for cooking and there are plenty of utensils. We used both the stove and the outdoor charcoal grill for meals. TV set up was easy to add our Netflix and Amazon accounts when the kids wanted to watch something. My favorite feature of the house was all the decks for maximum outdoor relaxing. You can see both the sound and the ocean from the decks out front. What a great way to start the day with a coffee and a view of the sunrise from the beach and then back to the decks for happy hour and a sundown view from the sound side. What else do you need? ##### Vic C. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan B. 7 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Lovely!!

The only negative was that there was an occasional tiny electric shock getting in/out of the pool, but we’ve experienced that at other houses in OBX, too, and we all got used to it (even a 3yo!) - just be aware if anyone in your party uses a pacemaker, etc. Other than that, excellent! The location and beach access were perfect, the pool was a good size for our group (and saltwater, which we loved), the house was clean, kitchen equipment was nice (and new appliances!) … really just great overall - would certainly stay here again. ##### Zenide R.

It was such a nice place to stay for my extended family, including my 10 and 7 year old grandchildren who suggested the house yet to be named house be called the “The Flip-Flops Stop” or “The Duck Stops Here!” The walk to the clean wide beach was only 3 minutes, and is where lifeguards are on duty. We have been coming to Duck for 30 years; 118 Sprigtail is one of the nicest places to stay, and the new owners are very responsive and helpful to the only few questions we had. We plan to return here. Dr. Horn from Virginia ##### Charles H.

Everyone had their on space. However no kitchen linens and not enough washcloths. Also a concern we had was electrical shocks around the pool & hot tub. We also found 2 fans from the house that were packed up mistakenly. Please send me a mailing address and I will return them. ##### Barbara C.

The house had plenty of room for our family to claim their own space. The walk to the beach was super fast and located very close to a private access location. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need for cooking full meals if you don’t feel like driving out every day. The house, pool, and hot tub were clean and enough supplies were provided to get us through our shorter stay. I can’t say enough good things about the house and our hostess, Kristin was available with quick responses to any questions we had. We would love to stay here again! ##### Jacquie B.

A few months ago, we were notified that the previous owner had sold the home but our reservation would still be honored. We were a bit concerned about the changes but Kristen kept our same rate and the house had been updated! There's new appliances and the kitchen has been upgraded. The wifi and phone service on the second and bottom floors are still spotty. The biggest concern we had this year was that we all felt an electrical shock the first few days as we were going into the pool and the hot tub. I do not remember experiencing this at all. My friend said she may have felt a tiny one last year now thinking back on it. I immediately contacted Kristen. One of the biggest draws to this home is the proximity to the beach and also the pool/hot tub. We used the pool and hot tub everyday last year after the beach so we couldn't just let the issue go. Kristen responded quickly and said that it is normal to feel that shock and sent some links to obx rental companies that have the warning in their rental agreements. Nevertheless, she did contact the pool management company and had someone come out the next day. The pool guy came out the next morning and said this is a problem specifically with this house, apparently there are a couple of high voltage power lines that run underground on either side of the house. It's also why the rubber matting is placed all around the pool. When it gets really hot like it has been the last couple of days and people running their AC more it creates more of a ground transfer and you get more of a shock He said they've had Dominion come by and look and everything is properly grounded and bonded, so nothing they can do. They've been having this problem and questions for 15 years. We were still skeptical of using the pool and hot tub for the rest of our stay as we have young children. I'm thankful Kristen and the pool person responded ASAP. I'm just not sure if we will come back to the property due to the pool/hot tub issue, which seems to be out of everyone's control now. ##### Ginly H.
