Area Description

The picturesque resort of Duck has a split personality. On one hand it's a sleepy hamlet ideal for families craving a quiet beach vacation. Delightful cottages fill the village from sea to sound; there are no hotels and only one B & B. Duck's lively side also boasts activities galore. The soundside waterfront area features parasailing, kayak and jet ski rentals, plus sailing and windsurfing outfitters. The bike path running the length of the village is traveled with early morning exercisers, tots on bikes and inline skaters. The entire area is a fisherman's paradise from convenient shoreline fishing to full day ocean excursions out to the Gulf Stream for the really big ones. Take in some serious crabbing from the sound pier adjacent to your home, visit the famous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse or see the site of the Wright brothers first flight. You may want to take in the Lost Colony outdoor drama under the stars. You can set off in search of the wild Spanish mustangs of Corolla sometimes spotted frolicking on the shore or maybe take the free ferry to Ocracoke Island to hunt down Blackbeard's pirates. Here on the Outer Banks, there's something to do for everyone. Or if you prefer, do nothing at all but kick back, relax and enjoy that glorious Outer Banks sunset!

 Great!, August 4, 2007
By A renter (Illinois)
We thought it was great that there were tons of patio furniture. We could all sit at the pool & relax or have dinner, sit on the upstairs rockers & picnic table for coffee in the morning, etc! Thank-you for all your help in making our vacation such a success! Courtney Schroeder
 
 Thank-you!, August 1, 2007
By A renter (New York)
A huge thank you for providing such a wonderful place for us to spend our family vacation. The house was absolutely perfect - we had plenty of space, and everyone fully enjoyed all decks and the pool. It was really a perfect place for everyone, and we wanted you to know how much we appreciated it really fitting all of our needs (close to Duck, beach, pool, etc). Thanks again, and we will keep the house in mind for future vacations! Katherine Shea
