House and neighborhood was perfect! Host responsive and friendly with a house that had everything. We walked on the beach daily despite storm Debbie looming! Duck has the perfect amount of restaurants and shops! Allowed for time with family which is always the best!!

This home is nice and steps to the ocean. That is fabulous. The beach is absolutely stunning! The kitchen is fully stocked and the property manager is very responsive as we had a few problems and they worked to resolve them quickly. The pool is a community pool and quite a distance from the home. They have a lot of rules so the pool was not much fun. Our beach wagon broke two days into the trip.causing us to try and carry everything to the beach. On our last day, two maintenance men came and brought a new one for the next customers. That was disheartening. They also assembled a new grill and said , the grill we used was in terrible condition. We knew that, yet used it the whole week. We had a wonderful time in OBX yet the cost of the house, approximately 5,000.00 for the week was a lot for the older home and its amenities.

We enjoyed our stay at Writer's Refuge. This home is clean, comfortable and well equipped. Location to the town of Duck and beach access is very convenient for guests interested in sunbathing or shopping and dining out. There are some things needing a little TLC. Some outdoor equipment and furniture requires maintenance or replacement, ie: rusty/ torn beach cabanas and umbrella stands/ table and chairs on upper deck. Bedroom space is tight for 10 people, we had 7 adults, 2 small children. Sliding door to small "writer's deck" is difficult to open and close. Several table lamps needed light bulbs replaced. There is no controlling the weather and it was rainy before and during our stay. The nearby parking lot next to the house was a pond the entire week due to inadequate drainage/grading and that extended into the side/ backyard of this property. We did not take advantage sitting on the first floor deck due to high mosquito activity there. Screen door on the upper deck is flapping loosely letting in flies/ mosquitos.

Stayed here with my Wife's family, we were comfortable, great location next to the beach. Really enjoyed the screen porch, listening to the rain fall.

Had a great time staying here - a very quick walk to the beach, not too far from amenities. Lots of beach gear in great shape, stocked kitchen, quiet at night. We could not have asked for more!

We loved our stay at Pineapple by the Sea! We loved the community and being steps away from the beach! This house was perfect for our party of 5 adults and 3 teenagers, incredibly spacious and equipped with every thing imaginable! We look forward to renting here again in the future!

We really enjoyed our stay at Patty and Lane’s home in Duck. Their house was impeccably clean upon arrival and was exactly like the listing. It has everything you need for a relaxing week at the OBX. The beach is a short walk from the house which was fantastic especially since we had our 3 month old granddaughter with us. I definitely recommend their home to anyone looking for a great place to stay. One note: Don’t follow Google Map’s directions to get to the place. It takes you down the wrong street that does not have access to the property.
