Beautiful home with modern amenities, clean rooms, and fantastic location close to the beach and attractions. Great place for family vacations!
10.0 / 10.0
We rented this house last minute, so we didn't have high hopes of a great place going into the rental. I must say, this house was adorable. Super clean, no weird old house smell, and well appointed provisions, with updated kitchenware and thoughtful inclusions in every single room. Also, the decisions the owner made with updates really made a major impact- new light fixtures, butcher block countertops, great sink etc... I appreciated how in every bedroom was a nice laundry basket, there were toothbrush holders in each bathroom, and plenty of very nice dinnerware and coffee cups- all matching, which I also appreciated. The beds were comfortable and the linens were nice- I loved the comforters, as they weren't ugly and could easily be washed and used. We loved the little kitchenette off the pool, such a great addition for drinks and hangout. The only aspects of the house we didn't like were the outdoor elements- the pool area and deck needs a bit of updating, and it was dirty from debris. The pool skimmer was broken, but Shoreline fixed that immediately and had someone come clean the pool. The hot tub was old and yucky - but the kids loved it, I would not go in. The furniture on the deck off the main floor was missing a table, just a bunch of chairs with a random grill cover thrown into the corner of the deck. Also there were fire ants on the deck, we had a hard time trying to sit out there because of the ants. The hammocks were a really nice touch, our kids loved hanging out on the hammocks. Overall this was a great place, and the price point was just right...We would stay here again.

Great house, stocked kitchen and clean! Beds were comfy, basketball net- grill- and foosball table were added bonuses. Close to town. Can ride bikes into Duck. Thanks for sharing your house!!
Some suggestions- the trees and bushes need to be cut back. The pool and pool area was gross and dirty daily bc of the overhang. We had to clean it up daily. By end of week pool was green because of the dirt? No sun? The back path to the "beach" needs to be cleaned up too. It looked like no one had walked thru it all season.
8.0 / 10.0
Very nice floors and upgrade to kitchen. Could use some more kitchen essentials such as crab forks, salt and pepper. Keurig needs replacement. Master bedroom king mattress was very uncomfortable. Needs definite replacement! Hot tub light was out. Reported it but it wasn't fixed by the time we left so couldn't use it at night. Tree over pool and hot tub dumps a lot of leaves into pool. Some doors wouldn't lock from inside. Short walk to beach by street over. Nice dock overlooking sound at end of street. Loved the hammock but need one on deck on main floor outside kitchen for everyone to use! Overall nice upgrades to house. Enjoyed our stay although rained a lot during stay!

The house was very nice but it needs some updating. The AC Filters need to be cleaned. The house had everything we needed. it was the perfect size for our group. The yard needs to be improved. There were ant piles everywhere and the grass was dead so we were not able to use it to play games. Due to the extreme heat while we were there the upstairs AC was unable to keep the temperature cool during the day but by bedtime it was ok. Plenty of refrigerator space upstairs and downstairs. nice views from the deck. easy walk to the ocean. Pool was nice but never used the hot tub due to the extreme heat.
8.0 / 10.0
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house had been newly renovated with new flooring thru out and this was very nice. The location was near the sound a little ways from the Beach. We took our golf cart so the distance wasn't too bad to the beach.
10.0 / 10.0
This home is fantastic, and we keep coming back to spend our family vacations in this gorgeous place. Large group with 6 adults and 5 kids greatly enjoyed our stay, as always. The location is excellent on a very quiet street just minutes to the beach, restaurants, shopping and outdoor activities. Nice private backyard with large pool, hot tub & BBQ. House is very modern, clean with high end appliances, fully loaded kitchen and very comfortable beds. Communications with owners was effortless and quick. 5 star accomodation with great amenities and easy access. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful home!!
8.0 / 10.0
It was very clean when we arrived. The kitchen is on the 3rd floor so you definitely get your legs a work out. Plenty of room for a couple families. Even though the pool is small, the kids enjoyed it. It was a short walk to the sound, where we watched sunsets and I paddle boarded one morning. It’s a quick bike ride to the beach, which we rented our bikes that they drop off at the rental. Then my in laws would drive to the parking spot with all of our beach gear. The mosquitos were bad on the patio, so we purchased some candles which helped. The kids bunk beds were very thin and uncomfortable for the teens. The king bed mattress on the 3rd level was caving in so we had someone come out and look at it, which they quickly responded and did a temporary fix. The supports under the bed look like they could give out any time. The other beds on the 2nd level were fine. Definitely enjoyed our stay!
8.0 / 10.0
Would be excited to stay here again. Cleaning fee and expectations/contract language around cleaning are steep compared that what had been done before we arrived. We had an issue with a dirty grill that also didn’t work but we reached out to property management and they had it resolved within 2 hours.
8.0 / 10.0
The inside of the property was beautiful and clean and met our needs in every aspect. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you would need for a party of 10 people. The bathrooms were clean although there is very little water pressure.
The outside of the property was a bit of a mess. The pool area was pretty dirty (pool itself was clean) and we had to hose out the carport in order to keep tracking dirt and sand inside. There are no door mats, area rugs, or even bath mats throughout the house which would have helped.
Overall a nice property in a nice area of Duck. 4 stars
10.0 / 10.0
The house comfortably accommodated our family (6 adults and 4 children). The pool in the back was lifesaver. It was too hot and windy for the beach so we spend a lot of time in that little pool. It was perfect way to cool down after a morning walk or bike ride and a great way to wind down the kids at the end of the day. The kitchen was little on the small side with 6 active adults who like to cook. It would be helpful to provide a card table to extend the table to seat everyone at the dinner table. Luckily we brought one along for jigsaw puzzles so it worked out for us. The room for the kids worked out perfectly for them. They loved it. Could use another good broom; one is pretty beat. Also appreciated the noodles and toys . We had lots of fun at your house. thanks

Great stay in Duck!
Had a great first time trip to Duck. The house has everything you need including a nice pool and hot tub. Rooms were well-suited for a large gathering of family. Some things to note, the decks are not sanded so my little ones got splinters in their feet so wear shoes when out on the decks. Lots of leaves on the outdoor table and chairs which is due to the overhanging trees. The house is within walking distance to beach that has a life-guard and parking was easy with the provided pass.

House was well kept and had everything we needed. It was a nice short walk to the beach. When we arrived, the pool was cloudy. I emailed property maintenance and they sent someone out promptly and the issue was resolved. We enjoyed our stay. The only recommendations I would have are to replace the mattresses as they were worn-out and the pool area could have been cleaned up a little better. There were lots of leaves in the fence corners. Great vacation, nice home.

Duck house review
House was in excellent condition and kitchen had everything we needed and then some. Living room furniture and pool area was excellent. Sheets and towels were old and worn. TVs were way too small especially in the living room for viewing and outdated. Master bedroom frame was loose and made too much noise. The queen size mattresses need replaced.

Very good
Overall very good. Everyone enjoyed the pool. easy walk to the ocean. the house was clean. My only complaint was the microwave was way too high for a shorty like me. I also had trouble reaching the kitchen cabinets. I would suggest including a step stool un the kitchen.

Perfect Birthday Week
Location Location Location!!! This spot is perfect. We come to Outer Banks every summer and this house was in the perfect location. Easy to get to the shops in Duck. Kids rode the bike there every day. Beach access across the street. House has been remodeled and it was nice. Pool and hot tub was great. Big tree in the back yard which made nice for shade but we were constantly having to clean leaves out the pool. Pool furniture wasn’t the cleanest but that didn’t deter us. Kids room stayed warmer than the rest of the house and their tv didn’t work.

Great house, wonderful location
Just a short mile from the main restaurants and shops. You can easily walk or ride your bike there. My family loved the house. Communication with the management company was spot on. Beds were okay, but nothing compares to home. Everything was BRAND NEW. It was a pleasure. I’ve already told family and friends to check it out for their vacation!

The house is quite basic and outdated in many regards. The house wasn't cleaned very well prior to our arrival and there were lots of aspects that needed to be fixed (chairs on deck, kitchen table chairs, dirty duvet covers on couches). The yard leaves much to be desired but it is fine with the exception that there was trash on it. Additionally, there was old food discarded on the lawn (i.e. buns and tomatoes) and our dog almost ate some of it. Thank god I saw it first because tomatoes are poisonous to our pup. I guess you can't expect perfection when you're bringing your dog but this was a little too basic for us to recommend it or stay there again.

Good rental but needs Lil bit of TLC updates
Nice place to stay but overdue for few updates & carpet needs replaced b/c very old run down & worn out areas in home (at minimum carpets need shampooed w/good cleaning scrub). Also many windows don't lock so felt a little unsafe at night.
6.0 / 10.0
Disappointed
The neighborhood and location were great. The house was very disappointing. Trash outside in sand pit, beer cans and bottles in side yard and on some of the decks. Lots of chairs on decks and lounge chairs by pool but many were broken. The house smelled of mold on the entire middle floor to the point where it triggered asthma symptoms in one guest. There were water stains on the wall of one bathroom. There was blood stains (large) on one of the comforters! Mattresses saggy and in bad shape.
We have stayed in OBX for many years and this house was truly disappointing and not worth the money.

Dirty and run down
I don't think the listing accurately portrayed this property. The coffeemaker looked like it had NEVER been cleaned, we found a roach in one of the bedrooms, there was mold/mildew on the bathroom wall, there were cooked french fries in the drawer below the oven, and the bunk bed mattress had clearly been urinated on, none of the TVs worked upon check in, the comforters had stains (looked like blood but could've been juice), and the toilet wouldn't stop running and later overflowed for no real reason. The property management employees were super responsive and really nice. Braxton fixed everything quickly, and they did send out a mold remediation person for the bathroom. But they also said that they would call me back about a refund and never did. The pool was super clean, the game room was perfect for the kids, and the water pressure in the showers was good. We wound up having fun, but the place was pretty gross.

Nice but needs a little TLC
House is as advertised. Private pool and hot tub areas are spacious and relaxing. The upper level and kitchen facilities are a great gathering place for family. The game room is crowded with all equipment not functioning properly. The house does need attention in some areas. Several loose electrical outlets, latches on screen doors need tightening, dining room chair legs loose etc. Multiple remotes required for each television was frustrating as well. None of these are deal breakers but with attention could make this a five star property. Property manager was excellent to work with.

Our visit to Duck Tales was overall pleasant. We did have a problem with the washer as it broke during our stay, the washer was replaced however the communication from property management was lacking. No one call to stay when we should expect a new washer or how long it would take. We had to reach and found out the details. The flooring near the kitchen was coming around an a sharp staple was sticking out of the floor. Our check in was for 4pm, we didn't arrive to the house until almost 6pm and the cleaning crew was still at the house. I would recommend if you know you will be on time for your arrival to call the property management team ahead to ensure to house is cleaned and ready so you don't run into this surprise. The house location from the beach was in perfecting walking distance (you do have to cross a street but definitely worth the 10 minute walk). The beach rentals were exactly what we requested and worked out well.

Reviewer Comments:
The biggest problem that I had with the place was the outside area. There is no drainage the shower that is outside which caused the water to stay there and near the doors plus when it rained the water formed puddles near both doors that lead to the pool. Doors were hard to open and the outside area was dirty and messy with lint from the dryer laying on the ground. Bugs are expected but it could have been sprayed down to reduce the amount of bugs. Table, grill, and chairs all dirty plus spider webs. I would have expected the outside area to be a clean as the inside area considering you will spend time in the pool and hot tub. Pet friendly place and inside was clean minutes the pillows so bring ur own. Overall would only give a three rating as the outside was not what I expected. Staff is very friendly and maintenace was very quick to respond to any issues. I would recommend for those with pets but be aware of the outside area of the house. I rented this place as my friend had pets but would not rent again if going without pets.

The house was exactly what we expected, and I was concerned given all the negative reviews. Clean, lots of space for two families with kids plus a babysitter, and well laid out. We had called in advance to voice our concerns about the cleanliness because we were traveling with two infants, and when I walked it it was spotless. The pool was great to enjoy after a day at the beach. The rental company was extremely responsive when we had some issues with the gas grill - it was fixed within an hour on our second day. Two drawbacks worth noting when planning your trip. The house needs new pots and pans - we went through lots and lots of cooking spray. Also, if you look on a map, you can see that this house is far away from the beach (.4 miles), so plan accordingly. We used the beach supply credit to rent beach carts which came in handy, as did the cooler on wheels. This wouldn't be my first choice of a place to stay next year only because I prefer something a little closer to the beach, but Duck Tales was fantastic!!!!!!

Reviewer Comments:
Overall house stay was pleasant. Positives-lots of room for 2 families with kids. Pool and hot tub not large, but pleasant. New furniture in living room. Kitchen well equipped, but could use some replacements of some items as not non stick anymore. Loved all the deck space and hammock. Loved having basketball hoop. Negatives-did not like main road you have to cross to get to beach access. Very busy and would not let kids do it alone. Lots of ants around pool and pool area could use new furniture and umbrella. Need some rugs around entrance points around pool. Dryer needs replaced, took a long time for towels. Maintenance man was prompt and nice, but never did fix all the small things we pointed out on arrival. Air hockey table did not blow much air. Surrounding houses on that street are a mixed bag. Some nice, redone homes. Others with a lot of junk laying around the yards and run down. Check in and out super easy.
