    We had the good fortune of staying at this awesome property during a family trip with our new granddaughter. The home was the perfect size for our family, with plenty of amenities, a well-stocked kitchen and excellent layout. The pool was clean and refreshing, a welcome site since the ocean was too rough to swim in while we were there. The owner communication was also excellent, answering any questions we had and attending to any issue without hesitation. She also provided recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Location was decent (even though it's on a main road), close to both Duck and Kitty Hawk, although you'll want to drive through the Southern Shores neighborhood to get to the property instead of on Duck Rd on Saturday and Sunday afternoons because of the traffic. All in all, a 5-star experience for us. We'll be back!

    We had such a lovely week. The house was exceedingly comfortable and clean, the kids enjoyed their rooms and the pool so much. The beach was not too far of a walk, and the beach cart and other supplies were super helpful. Any questions we had were answered almost immediately.

    The property was awesome, everything was very clean and just as pictured. We enjoyed the pool everyday that we were there and the location is super close to shops and beach access! Would stay again!

    This property was exactly as it was stated in the ad. It was extremely clean, cleanest I have ever stayed in. We have vacationed to the Outer Banks for over 50 years and this cottage is by far my most favorite of any we have stayed in. The owner is very welcoming and accessible for any needs and questions, which were few because the house accommodated us with all we needed. Can’t wait to return

    We had a short and sweet getaway, long weekend at this beach house. It was lovely with the pool and quick access to the beach. Everything we wanted and needed. The listing discusses how well stocked the kitchen is in regards to equipment and they weren’t kidding. It has anything and everything you might need for meal prep.

    We visited over our daughter's spring break and we loved everything about this house! The location is great, as it is just a few minutes away from the main road into OBX. There are grocery stores and other retail nearby and it is a quick bike ride away from Duck. While it is located on a busy road, we spent much of our time in the back yard at the pool so road noise was not an issue. The house was perfect for our group of 6 and the property manager was very responsive. We were there in April and while it was too windy and cool to be at the beach, the backyard is protected and we spent so much time by the beautiful pool. The pool area is protected by trees and it was so nice to spend time outside. The kitchen sink has filtered water (big bonus in my eyes) and the house is well stocked. We would definitely stay here again!

    We had a great time staying at “About Dune Time.” The house was clean and had all the amenities we needed for a week at the beach. The location was convenient to Kitty Hawk and the Duck areas.

    Great house for our group of 2 adult couples. House was clean and roomy, pool area was great. House is 2.3 miles from downtown Duck, easy to get to most of the time. Duck Rd is very busy and the sidewalk/bike trail is across the street, have to be very careful crossing. That’s the only drawback. Having a green light bulb in the front lamp was a genius move, making it easy to see the driveway when coming back at night. Would definitely stay there again!

    This house had a great set-up for a small family, and we enjoyed the added benefit of having the pool for a quick dip in the afternoons if we didn’t feel like going to the beach.

    We stayed for a week and had a lovely time! It was the cleanest rental we’ve stayed in, and it provided plenty of space for 5 adults. It is on the main road so turning out of the driveway could be tricky at the busier times of day. The beach access with the provided HOA parking pass wasn’t crowded and has port-a-potties, trash/recycling bins, and showers to wash your feet off. The only downside to the house was that there isn’t much green space to roam if you choose to bring your pet. We would definitely visit again!

    Wonderful week long stay. The house was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the pool and walked daily to the beach. We enjoyed being close to both the beach, Duck and the amenities. The only downside is the location on a busy road, although you can't hear the traffic noise when inside the house. The owners were extremely attentive and responsive when we had a question or concern. I wound definitely rebook and recommend to those looking for a place to stay in OBX.
