Ships Watch! Affordable 4 BR Sound Front in Duck! Sunday check in June- August

Our family has been staying at Croatoan since our grandkids were babies. The single floor layout and deck with the view of the sound makes it a perfect location for all ages. Every year we come it feels like home and the beautiful sunsets are right where we left them.

This property checks every box! Plenty of room and everything you need to cook, relax, watch movies and visit. Close to a lovely pool area and beach across the street. The hosts are very accommodating and prompt to respond to any questions, concerns. Highly recommend!!

This was our second stay in the Croatoan house and it was better than the last time. We used more of the amenities that were available to us, such as kayaks on the sound, the wagon to bring our things to the beach, and access to the pool and the tennis courts across the street. The lawn outside and the driveway were great places to use the pickle ball and badminton sets we brought with us. We ate every dinner on the in the screened in porch.We loved watching the sunrise from the deck every night. The living room was perfect for our family hang outs. The fully stocked kitchen made cooking at home and serving a breeze.In the location, close to the boardwalk and Duck, is ideal!

I great vacation! I enjoyed our visit so much and it was a great location. The sunsets on the porch are phenomenal!

exactly what we needed !!...this is by far the best rental we've experienced in duck in over a decade...the perks are abundant...the owners and management are excellent in addressing any questions/issues that may arise, at least in our case...you can tell it's a place that has been well-loved by a family...lucky ducks !...if you're looking for something sparkly and new with all of the bells and whistles, this is not the place for you...it's a place that's lived-in, has many great features and toys, is extremely well-situated, and will linger in your memories...we will most certainly return again and again...thank you so much, ella !

Very comfortable house for 7 adulys and a 9 year old. Weather unfortunately was not good for us either day we were there. Would have loved yo use the kayaks etc. Ocean access was easy however the nor-easter was not beach friendly and the pool looked great! Will plan on coming back to Croatoan house for sure! Towels and bedding was extremely nice too!

Location is 10/10. This house has everything you need to enjoy your stay. We will be booking this one again. :)

Lovely house sits right on the sound so view is wonderful! Location to Duck Town is easy. Kitchen extremely well stocked, beautiful wood paneling & vaulted ceiling in open space.. large deck. Comfortable beds. Our favorite house to date at OBX! Thank you!

The perfect location in Duck! Our family had a great stay - we loved having the ability to walk into town and to the beach. We enjoyed having our morning coffee on the deck with a beautiful view of the sound, and the sunsets were incredible! The house was clean and comfortable. We would definitely like to stay here again if visiting the outer banks.

Peaceful and very relaxing! The kitchen had everything we needed! Being on the sound is simply amazing and relaxing, easy access to the beach. We love the pool.

We absolutely loved our time at Croatoan! The home was absolutely spotless, roomy, and had everything we needed. We had a cracked toilet seat and the screened porch screen was ripped, within hours both were fixed. The sunset views at night were unmatched. Loved having the pool access and close proximity to walk to Sunset Grille or shops in Duck.

This property is a gem that I only wish we would’ve discovered sooner!!! Our family has been vacationing here for over 20 years and this hit as the all-time favorite! The pictures don’t even do it justice! The views are something out of a magazine! Everything has been thought of and provided! My kids loved paddle boarding & kayaking at sunset! Beds are comfy and everything was so easy to use! We will definitely book again! THANK YOU to the hosts!!! Such special memories!

Great location on the sound with amazing sunsets! The family gathered on the deck every night to watch the sun slip away. While there was a heat wave this week, the beach was exceptional. The water was crystal clear, temp around 73-76 which cooled you off. Rays, dolphins, fish everywhere. Our grandkids loved it!The only negative is the deck furniture is ready for replacement. Hopefully, we will be back again next year to make more family memories.

What a special, memorable (as always!) stay at Ship’s Watch! It has become our home away from home. Each of us 6 ladies loves to cook and the kitchen is not only well stocked, the beautiful dishes make meals feel special! The comfort and charm is perfect! All 6 of us can watch movies comfortably and we have plenty of space in the bedrooms and baths as well. We will return every year we can! My husband spoils us with this treat each year!

Exceptional sound view and location within a short walk to Duck shops. The house and amenities provided by the hosts are top drawer. The hosts have provided their guests with every amenity they could possibly need or want to ensure their guests have a relaxing, comfortable, and enjoyable stay. Five Star without question.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home! The view was breathtaking! We plan to rent there again next year.

Property was very clean and comfortable. Owner answered emails promptly. Would stay again. If you are a stargazer, light pollution all night (!) from the nearby Sunset Grill pier is an issue. Location is very convenient to all things Duck!

Another great stay in Duck. Thanks Ella
