Five Lucky Ducks | 400 ft from the beach | Dog Friendly, Private Pool, Hot Tub | Duck

Host was very communicative and the check in/out process was very easy. The property was great for our family with plenty of beds and bathrooms! They had a variety of games available which was great as we had little kids. It is a very short walk to the beach and the private road is nice and quiet. We reached out to the host twice with minor issues and they were addressed immediately, which was appreciated. There was a lot of dog hair and sand on the furniture and floors when we got there, a lot of dishes had been put away dirty and the coffee pot was not cleaned. So the cleaning crew did not do a great job. Wasn't a huge deal for us as we just got out the vacuum and rewashed the few items that needed it. But it something to note if you are a neat freak. There are also no seasonings or spices or really anything at all condiment wise available in the kitchen. So if you are planning on dinner after you check in, you'll either need to bring everything with you or stop on the way for routine items (salt, pepper, olive oil, etc)Overall it was great and we had a wondeful time!! Would stay here again

Great location, lots of space and on site activities. Walking distance to Duck Village and the beach and so many decks with views. Would definitely stay again!

House was nice. Hot tub wasn’t working but they came and fixed it so we only really lost one day. Great location

The house, pool and hot tub were all clean and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils. Quiet neighborhood.

Through no fault of the owners, the cleaning company should do a better job. It wasn’t super dirty but we were a group of women who notice little things. I communicated with the property company and they thanked me for letting them know about the things we saw. I believe it will be brought to the cleaning company’s attention and will be taken care of. It was a great long weekend!

We really enjoyed this spacious property because we were able enjoy our time together using all of the “play areas” and cooking meals together in the well supported kitchen within a community that is in and around a classic OBX town. We sure felt like ten lucky ducks in this house.

This property does not look like what is advertised. When we arrived there was a dead ROACH at the door greeting us. We made our way to the main level of the house where the kitchen/living room is located and immediately were disappointed. The floors are old and were dirty, the cabinets have probably never been cleaned (thick layer of gross grease, food and dust caked on them) ROACH droppings all over the window ledge, behind sink, on the sink etc... Dead ROACHES in utensil drawer and LOTS of dead ROACHES in the cabinets with pots and pans. Screens ripped and hanging out on back porch, clogged shower drains (they had to come unclog the 2nd day there and the maintenance man even said they were badly clogged) sofa had crumbs and dirt on it. Just gross! But to top it all off we actually had to leave early, we only stayed 3 days, we were supposed to be there for a week. There was no mention on VRBO about a camper not being aloud in HUGE driveway and when we received the contract there was no mention of this either. (My cousin travelled from Montana in her beautiful camper to come vacation with us). We were contacted on the 3rd day and told to move the camper due to HOA rules (never received a copy of HOA rules) when I explained to the management company they stated that the owners would not budge and that they were within their rights to have the camper towed if we did not move it elsewhere. I asked where we could move it to? They said a shopping center parking lot, but the camper had all of my cousins stuff in it and she was not comfortable leaving it unattended in a parking lot for 5 days. I asked why this information was not disclosed or posted anywhere and they stated, that it was in the questions and answers section of an email they sent, but my response was, that we had no questions, clearly the driveway was large enough to hold the camper and 3 large trucks, so why would I have questions when nowhere had it mentioned no campers, RVs etc.... Owners would not even give us a refund for time not spent....5 days! We had to leave and travel elsewhere. Complete ripoff!! We were so nice in regards to uncleanliness of the property, we had to clean it ourselves, they should have paid us for how we left the place. I would never rent here again and DO NOT recommend this as a place to stay. I will also NEVER rent from a VRBO management company again either. Also, the hot tub was also yucky and cloudy (supposedly was cleaned prior to our checkin)

I have several pictures of items that were not clean, and the pool area was filled with debris and no tables cleaned… grill was disgustingly dirty… couldn’t use the screened porch because several screens were broken and flies were everywhere… outdoor furniture had never been wiped down or cleaned from previous tenants… We still had a wonderful time being with family.. however, we would not rent this house again due to the lack of cleanliness… I have the pics if you are interested

Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay at Five Lucky Ducks. Everything was wonderful. The location was awesome, close to the beach, and an easy walk to downtown Duck shops/bars/restaurants. Cannot say thank you enough!

This was a great property to stay at with kids! Lots to do! Pool was still closed but utilized the hot tub. Everything was very clean. The house was 2 houses away from the beach entrance. Felt comfortable with kids walking the dog on the beach every morning. Lovely! For other dog owners, you can contain your pet on the top floor by keeping at least one of the screened doors closed and letting them roam to the living room slider. But no enclosed gate for the yard which would have been nice to know. The bathroom and outdoor showers by the pool were super convenient. Putting green, volleyball, cornhole, horseshoes...fabulous! The only thing missing was a firepit! The kids loved having their own rooms and especially not having to share a bathroom! We would definitely stay again. Thanks!
