About this property

"Good Tides" Oceanside beach house with private heated pool & hot tub, Duck, NC

Come explore the private beach, restaurants, and shops in Duck, NC while staying at this spacious, bright retreat we call "Good Tides." You'll find paradise in this wonderful home surrounded by live oak trees for privacy while you sip sweet tea (or margaritas!) from the porch swings. The open and airy living space is perfect for that special family get together. There is also room to spread out, with extra space in the sunroom upstairs and game room downstairs with wet bar and foosball. Three story decks face the east and west to catch ocean breezes, sunrises, and sunsets. A private pool, outside shower, and hot tub are just outside the back door. Your whole family will enjoy this beautiful home.

The beach access is just a short walk along a private road (<5 min with kids and wagon in tow) and we provide a beach caddy and wagon to carry all your beach gear, cooler, and kiddos. Sound access is also close by (<2 min walk), so pack your crab trap, kayak, and windsurfing gear. Bring your bikes and jump on the bike path for a quick ride to the quaint village of Duck, where you’ll find fabulous dining and shopping. Catch a sunset on the Currituck Sound at the waterfront shops while you mingle in and out of the stores.

The second floor has two more suites, each with a queen bed, and then a jack-n-jill bath shared by two rooms, one with a queen and one with double bunk beds.

Good Tides was a wonderful home to rent. The sheets, towels, beach equipment were so much appreciated the home and beds comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. We had 11 on this trip and there was plenty of room. The location was quiet, neighbors wonderful and it was about a1/4 mile walk to the beach ( sounds long but it took like 5-10 minutes) and close to shops and restaurants. If and when we go back, Good Tides would be where we would stay.

Good Tides for a Great Vacation!

We loved the property and all its amenities: close to the beach, great backyard pool, jacuzzi, and more balconies than we even had time to use! All of our kids got their own room and pretty much their own bathrooms too. Quiet, private, clean and Gary and his family were just amazing hosts with impeccable communications. Their check-in process and facilities were perfect. 10 out of 10 - no notes.

Perfect House!

We had a wonderful stay in this house! Great amount of space and was well stocked with items we usually have to supply. Great assortment of beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards with a short walk to the beach. Gary was very quick with responses to questions and concerns. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Stay

The location of this house is great for families. Just a short walk to the beach and added plus that all beach chairs, umbrella, toys and wagon were all provided. The house was big enough for our family of 11 and the pool kept the kids occupied for hours. The owner, Gary, was super responsive and helped with a minor issue. Overall we had a great time and would definitely rent again!

Great home and great location

Our family had a wonderful stay at Good Tides. The listing is very accurate - the house is very clean and well stocked with soaps etc - which is very convenient when visiting from far. It’s a short walk to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. The owner was very responsive to our questions. The pool and the hot tub were a highlight! Would definitely recommend.

Great host, location and home for a getaway

Overall we had a wonderful stay. Gary is so communicative and helpful to ensure your visit is top notch. Everything in the kitchen you’d need to cook meals, lots of places to hangout and relax. Plenty of beach gear came in handy. Hot tub was clean, too cold for the pool. Only reason for a 4/5 stars is the price was a bit high relative to other places we’ve stayed and it wasn’t as updated, smaller home, less outdoor space for little ones to play, deck run down with some nails up, etc. Would still recommend it for a family trip to Duck!

Wonderful family vacation

It was wonderful to be able to stay with our entire family of 10, ages 4 to 65, in one house, enjoying family dinners and playing in the pool. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We really appreciated all the small conveniences provided by the owner (not always supplied by other owners) such as toilet paper, laundry & dishwasher soap, beach towels, etc. We had no problems while we were there. If we ever get back to the Outer Banks, this is the place we'll stay.

Found property as advertised. Our group was overall happy with house. Short walk to the beach, quiet area. Internet service could have been better. There was an electrical issue with pool but was addressed. Did not impact our stay. Would consider property on next visit to OBX.

Family Vacation

Everything was great for our family of 10 adults, enough room to spread out and still be together. The house was well appointed and clean. The only downside was our 85 year old mom couldn’t get safely into the shower. My fault for not checking on that. She did however enjoy the outdoor shower and goes with the flow so all in all 10 out of 10 for us!

We have been looking for a special beach home to share memories with our family and friends and we instantly saw the fun in this house. There are several great spots where the whole group can be together. There are also a handful of spots to sneak away to as well if you want to spread out. We truly enjoy coming to "Good Tides" with our kids and hope you will get as much out of staying here as we do.
