Duck, North Carolina
Welcome to our Duck Vacation beach house! We appreciate that more than 65% of our guests come back year after year. We want to make sure the house is updated and well maintained for each season. This is not just a rental property but our home that we enjoy in the off season.
We are located in the community of Colony By the Sea which is within walking distance of the charming village of Duck and a short (less than 8 minute) walk through the dunes (on a private road) to the beach. Colony By the Sea offers amenities including a large seaside pool, tennis courts, basketball court, and playground.
Here you'll find a well maintained, well equipped comfortable property that is ready for your beach vacation. 4 bedrooms (3 queen, 2 twin) and 2 baths are located on the first floor. Our home can sleep up to 8 . The great room, kitchen and dining room are located on the 2nd floor. The spa is located on a private deck on the ground floor along with an outdoor shower and recently remodeled laundry room. Wireless internet is provided. We utilize a linen and towel service.
Colony by the Sea is a wonderful family oriented beach community. We know you will be happy you’ve chosen "After Dune Delight” for your vacation!!
Excellent location, wonderful home, perfectly location to the beach, pool, nearby restaurants and stores! Owners were great to work with. Worked perfectly well for our family of adults and young children!
Excellent property, close to everything, nice amenities, and the owner was extremely pleasant to deal with. 10/10 would recommend!
Couldn’t have been a more glorious week! The house and location was perfect. Now we see why over half of the renters are repeat customers. There is nothing we lacked and are grateful for the time we spent in Duck! Hope to return again soon.
Great overall stay. Only complaint regarding cottage was the chains on the ceiling fans were to short for someone vertically challenged ! Owner thought of everything to make for a fun stay for myself and my family. It was a great experience! Thank you!!
Let me begin by saying we loved our vacation in this home ! We loved the town of Duck and all that it had to offer. The house was immaculate and well kept. My family loved every moment and we are so happy that we were able to spend our vacation in this home !
House was very nice! Good setup for family with 4 equal size rooms and 2 large bathrooms. Great size kitchen for cooking and well appointed. We drove to the parking lot at the condos with no issues for parking and making it easier to haul our stuff to the beach. Loved the pool access. Had kind of a rainy week, was nice to have space to play family games and be comfortable.
We had a great stay - house was super clean and comfortable. Hot tub was great and it was easy to walk or drive to the beach / community pool.
Pros: Very clean Walking distance to beach and pool (8 minutes) Had access to tennis courts, playground Dog friendly with access to multiple grassy areas Walking distance to the village area and the Duck boardwalk with multiple shops and restaurants Kitchen was incredibly well stocked. Included linens, towels, even beach towels , beach toys/chairs/umbrella Hot tub is clean and large Plenty of hot water for showers Cons: Needs a place to hang up jackets by door (hooks, etc) Deck sliding door —hard to open/close Have to run and empty dishwasher before checking out (prefer to just set it to run)
We had a wonderful and relaxing stay. The property is in a great location, short walk from the beach and convenient to the shops. We really enjoyed the sunrise walks along the coast and evening dips in the hot tub. Kitchen was well equipped. Only drawback was the bed sizes; not sure if I misread the listing or if the listing needs to be revised. I was expecting queen beds and they were full-size beds. Over all, we had a wonderful stay.
Lovely beach house is 5 minute walk to the beach. A minor issue upon check-in was swiftly dealt with by the gracious home owner. We will definitely return.
Loved that this rental provided linens and allowed us to use their towels as well. Hot tub is a nice bonus. We did not realize until we arrived that we shared the pool with the condo complex at end of road. Thought this would bother me more than it actually did as the pool was never filled up any day we were there. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay.
We loved everything about this beach house! We are a family of 6 & had a wonderful stay. We even brought our frenchie. It was very clean & you could tell the home is well taken care of & loved. We love the natural wood beams & high ceilings in the main living area. It was nice having everything we needed as the house is thoughtfully stocked! We enjoyed the community pool & the community events of the town of Duck. Very close to town. We look forward to returning again.
Two major issues: they replaced the dishwasher in the middle of our stay. We also had to rewash a set of sheets because the bed was sandy. Several minor issues: at least two broken chairs and a broken boogie board among the beach supplies. Grill was dirty. The kitchen only had four table spoons so we had to rely on soup spoons. While they provide towels, you may want to bring one or two of your own. To get the full security deposit back, you need to wash and dry any towels you use before you leave.
Had a great stay here with our small pups. Very quiet and private road with a short walk to the beach or shopping and restaurants in Duck. Very clean and bright house with everything we needed, including great internet! Enjoyed or evenings in the hot tub. Can't wait to go back!
