Stayed Sep 27, 2025The Baby Duck Cottage was a perfect second week retreat on the OBX for my wife and me. Fortunately we arrived just before Hurricane Imelda and the ferry shutting down and enjoyed watching the changing weather and exploring Ocracoke Island. My wife was able to comfortably work from the cottage which is located close to town and the lighthouse. We were able to Jeep and ride our e-bikes on the beach. Cottage was perfect!

Stayed Aug 16, 2025Through obviously no fault of the property owner, a hurricane forced our evacuation after only two days. However, we had an idyllic brief holiday.

Stayed Jun 21, 2025This is truly a beautiful little cottage. Impeccably clean!! The owners were very accessible and responsive. We normally rent places on the water so it was a bit different for us to be this closed in, however the coziness and proximity to the village was very nice. Everything was within walking or biking distance. We would definitely consider staying here again!

Stayed Jun 22, 2024Very clean, plenty of room. The house is close to restaurants and shops. We rented bikes and were able to bike to almost everything. We really enjoyed our stay!

Stayed Aug 27, 2022Charming and beautifully appointed, Baby Duck is one of the nicest & definitely the cleanest house our family has ever rented; anywhere! The screened porch is even nicer than depicted, with a large daybed and the sounds of waves coming through the marshes. While tucked within a group of family owned cottages, there is a complete respect for privacy & even a sense of solitude about Baby Duck. Five plus stars.

Stayed Apr 11, 2021Second time was even more than a charm! I actually look for friends and reasons to come to Ocracoke just so I can stay at Baby Duck! Hosts, Sara and Bert are so helpful and pleasant! It was a great way to celebrate my 70th birthday! Nancy McMath. Virginia Beach

Stayed Mar 20, 2021Baby Duck was an adorable cottage; tastefully done, charming and spotlessly clean. Bert and Sara were helpful and communicative.
