Our charming comfortable five bedroom /five bathroom beach house with large in-ground pool (un-heated) and hot tub is located semi-ocean front (just one house back from the beach) from the beach in Duck. It is only 100 steps from the driveway to the dune (OK...I have long legs, so it may take you 125!!). We are only a 10 minute walk to the quaint village of Duck, Outer Banks North Carolina, right opposite Duck Donuts! Our spacious ocean side outdoor decks and seating, the tiki bar and pool entertaining area around our large in-ground pool, coupled with our large lot and semi-ocean front location, makes this one of the nicest homes in Duck.

Inside our home we have three levels. The ground level has a Twin/twin bedroom, bath and TV room with glass sliding doors that open to the swimming pool entertaining area with tiki bar, hot tub, outdoor shower, spacious pool deck, and covered porch seating. The laundry area with full sized washer and dryer are also located on the ground level.

The mid-level area has our fully renovated kitchen with all new appliances, living room with new sofa and matching chairs with large flat-screen, full sized tv. Our dining room seats 10. Bedrooms on this level are a queen bedroom with private bath and one King bedroom with hall bath. The top level has a loft reading/office open area overlooking the lower living room/dining area with glass sliders leading out to our top deck with spectacular views of the ocean, sunrises and lovely sunsets. There is one king bedroom with private bath and one queen bedroom with hall bath.

Note: No elevator. Stairs to main living area and to second story bedrooms. Linens and towels are NOT included in our rental, but can be rented by guests directly with a linen rental company to help guests keep their costs down. Or guests may bring their own linens and towels. Pillows, blankets and quilts are provided.

The village of Duck is quaint, beautiful and welcoming with wonderful local unique shops, cozy cafes, grocery stores, delicious restaurants and water sports entertainment. Duck also has a unique sound side coastal boardwalk that provides great bird watching over the Sound and beautiful sunset vistas, dining, shopping, and dog-walking. Kayakers float by adding to the scenery. Great for families and couples who wish to walk around Duck after a fantastic day on the beach.

For car trips and sight seeing during rainy days, you are spoiled for choice: lighthouses, shopping, and a must visit to Jockey's Ridge, the east coast's largest sand dune and site of the Wright brothers first flight! Visit the Wright Brothers national monument and museum nearby and learn about our country's aviation history and first flight. Head north to Corolla for tours to visit the wild banker ponies, protected and wild. Year round the town of Duck is full of wonderful things to see, places to shop, eat, and enjoy beach time.

The home was clean, with no strange odors or noticable stains. The home had everything we needed, trash bags, toilet paper, beach chairs, hand soap etc. We greatly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this location to everyone!

    Amazing home close to the beach we watched many sunrises!!! Great pool and hot tub! Make sure you bring all paper goods and linens. Very comfortable and accommodating. Only glitch was we couldn’t get in until 4:30 and the cleaners were still there (they did a great job getting it ready for us).

    We enjoyed an amazing long weekend at OBX Box. The house was fantastic. The layout was perfect for our group of 6 adults, but would have been equally great had we had children with us. The house has a lot of spaces to enjoy inside and out! Our communication with the hosts was great as well. We loved our stay!

    It was a lovely space for our big family. Lots of seating, fun decor, appreciated the ice cream puzzle, equipped kitchen, and close proximity to the beach and Scarborough Faire. The only thing unpreferable was having to bring all the linens, towels, paper products (paper towels, toilet paper), bathroom soaps, etc for all 5 bathrooms and bedrooms and kitchen. Otherwise, it was perfect!

    Our family just had our second vacation trip to the OBX Box Cottage and it was again just perfect in every way. This cottage is just the right size for large families, and we love that everyone has their own bedroom and bathroom. Beautifully decorated, the cottage is inviting and comfortable. Just a few steps to the ocean, the location is incredible. This home is by far the best Vrbo experience we have ever had, and we can’t wait to return next year. We love that it is pet-friendly so we can bring the furry member of our family. If you’re looking for the best cottage in Duck, with the absolute best hosts, this is it. The owners are amazing to work with, so kind and quick responses to any question you may have. They treated us like family, and we’re so grateful to them.Look no further - this is your vacation dream home.

    The hosts were great at communication and really helpful when I asked questions. The property was perfect for our 4 adult couples. The location couldn't be better; we walked everywhere for the most part. The best part-the beach was a 1 minute walk away! The house has all the chairs and fun beach things you could need. The pool and hot tub were wonderful and clean. The kitchen was well stocked too. It was weird not having linens provided, however, that seems to be common around here while I was searching rentals. The rental process was easy. We really enjoyed our stay and had a great time. Thank you for sharing your home with us! It was perfect.

    What we loved- the three floors, space, pool, hot tub, and location to the beach.What was something we had not planned on: having to bring out own sheets and towels for all guests, paper products, and dish soap, having to vacuum the entire house before we leave and of course strip all of the beds and repack the sheets and towels. The stay was still amazing but what I mentioned above was disappointing and made out last morning difficult.

    I’ve been coming to the outer banks every summer for almost 20 years & this fall trip was by far my favorite trip in all those years! The locals are gatekeeping the OBX in the fall & I’m sad I haven’t found this specific house sooner! Host was very easy to communicate with & was very prompt in responding. Upon arrival to the house, check in with the keyless entry was efficient. The house smelled so clean and was literally spotless! I’ve stayed in ALOT of different places & this one by far surpassed cleaning perfection. The house was equipped with everything in terms of the kitchen. The house even had odds & ends things that you usually end up buying while there (salt and pepper, handsoap, cleaning supplies, foil, paper towels, etc of things that were left over from prior guests). The house is beautiful & the location couldn’t be anymore convenient in distance to the beach if it were ocean front itself. You can see the waves from the top floor and hear it throughout the house. The pool/hot tub area is perfect! It’s lit up with lights, all outdoor furniture was very nice and abundant. Outdoor showering area is very private & convenient as well! The feel of the house is very well thought out and perfect for any family! Duck is the cutest little town as well. There is plenty of cute shops & eats within walking distance to the house, it’s only about a half mile down the road. The boardwalk is also cool just in town! WILL BE BACK! :)

    Loved having bathrooms for every bedroom. We had six to eight people in the house at any time and we were never cramped. Lots of space to hide away and read a book.
