Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was obvious this owner really cares about their guests. The house was the cleanest of all the houses I've stayed in over the last 15 years of OBX vacations. The decks were immaculate, which literally never happens. The outdoor furniture and hammocks were clean and web free. The pool was perfect. The kitchen was very well stocked and everything is labeled which really helps. The kitchen and bathrooms aren't fancy but are well maintained. Each bathroom had extra hooks for towels and swimsuits. Instructions for the TV's and internet are provided. The cargo lift was a back saver. The only issue we had at all was that the blinds had taken a beating. I'm not sure of the solution but finding a more durable option might be beneficial long term. I personally would put a King bed in the top floor Master. You have the space and most adults prefer a bigger bed when they're on vacation. The walk to the beach wasn't bad at all but might be a little long for someone with mobility issues. The private beach didn't have a lifeguard. We had a very calm ocean, had the surf been rougher I'm not sure I'd be comfortable without lifeguards in sight. The location just south of town was perfection. This was the furthest south we've stayed and I can't imagine being north now. The convenience to Kitty Hawk and larger stores makes a huge difference. We ate at Barefoot Bernie's and it was amazing. Bernie's Brother, not so amazing. The all grass mini-golf in Corolla was really fun for teens-boomers.(Spray with bug spray before you go)Overall, a really great stay. I would absolutely recommend the house and will stay again depending on who was in the travel party. Unfortunately the stairs that come with most of these properties have become difficult for my aging parents, so our next trip with them may require a kitchen and bedroom on the first floor.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second time staying at Duck Haven, and it was just as beautiful as it was 2 years ago. The house was spotless and in perfect condition when we arrived. Our family loves the layout of the house and the proximity to both the beach and the sound (both are about a 5-8 minute walk). This place has become very special to us and we will definitely return!

We loved the house, the pool, the location, and ease of getting to the beach. Everything you need was included in this property. Would recommend it 100%. Our family had an awesome vacation at Duck Haven!

The location of the home is great! The beach is a five minute walk and the town of Duck is totally walkable. The house itself has some drawbacks. The kitchen is VERY small which did not work well for my family of 13. Some of the mattresses were terrible and dipped in the middle. The pool was small and the beach chairs were broken. We were able to make everything work but for the price I was hoping for more.

Everyone enjoyed their stay. Owner replaced charcoal grill that was reported as broken right away. Check out needs a little work on explaining the locking of the doors. Other then that it was a great time.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 1. No one ever contacted us that it was ok to go in, we did go in a few minutes before 6pm. 2. Two of the three bathrooms were dirty, one toilet was not flushed after someone went to the bathroom. Kitchen was not cleaned. However, after reading and completing our check list before leaving, it appears to me you have the renters doing the cleaning of the bathrooms and kitchen. I was charged a cleaning fee, as I'm sure the guests a head of me were. I was very disappointed in the cleanliness!
