About this property

Surround Sound is the only name that makes sense once you walk in the front door of this unique home. We have sound and canal views from every room. A highlight is watching the dazzling sunset while crabbing and fishing from the 100 ft. private dock. Or watching the sun or a full moon reflect off of the water like diamonds from the comfort of bed or the couch! Custom pool (closed from November to May) and swim spa (heated at your request for a heat fee typically 4-5 hours a day available rear round). We even have a 4 person paddle boat for your enjoyment along with a couple rentable single person kayaks! This wooded, waterfront, private home is 20 minute peaceful walk to the OBX beaches. We have a parking permit to the "homeowner's only" beach access with bathrooms and showers.

If the beach and the sound are not enough, we are a bike ride or 5 minute car ride to Duck's boardwalk shopping, restaurants, concerts and other activities. My kids love to bike for a snow cone or Duck Donuts. Biking is very safe as it is either residential or paved sidewalk. We have 2 bikes for your use. Additionally, any golfers can enjoy Duck Woods Country Club which is just down Dogwood Lane.

Inside of the home we have 3 large bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The "boat house" sits on the canal-side of the house with an additional bedroom, full bath and medium pool table. This is detached from the main house and is a favorite spot for teens or light sleepers! At night, enjoy the sound of the waves crashing ashore from the beach and the owls chatting from tree to tree.

Vacation Paradise

Surround Sound has become our family's favorite vacation spot. It is a beautiful home surrounded by water and we instantly feel relaxed. We especially enjoy our evenings on the screened porch watching the sun set over the sound. During the day, we enjoy the wonderful pool, beach, bike riding, kayaking, tennis, and nearby golf. The house is very clean and comfortable and we appreciate that Tara makes it feel like home for her guests. Thanks Tara for being such a responsive host and for allowing our family to enjoy another week in paradise!

Wonderful family getaway!

The property is in a really beautiful setting in Southern Shores with amazing views over the sound -- mornings and evenings well spent watching nature's show from the fully screened-in porch or the end of the dock. The house worked really well for our group of 5 adults, 5 kids (ranging in age from 3-10) and dog. Plenty of room for all 5 kids in the bunk room, two great-sized bedrooms in the house for the adults, and the added benefit of privacy in the separate boathouse accommodation. The pool was ideal for us, as it has a very wide, shallow step, which allowed the 3 yo to play confidently while her older sisters/cousins swam in the main part of the pool. We alternated mornings at the pool with afternoons at the beach -- parking permits for beach access included -- or other nearby activities (water park, dolphin cruise etc.) OBX has much to offer for a family vacation, and Surround Sound was a fantastic base. Owner was really communicative, attentive and available. We would happily return.

Fantastic home and location

Excellent host and exactly as described. The screened in porch was situated next to the pool with a great view of the sound. It was a great gathering place. The pool is a good size that we could all enjoy. We had the master bedroom on the main floor which was great. The 4 kids were in an upstairs bedroom with the the parents in the upstairs master. We never heard them. My daughter and granddaughter were in the boathouse and they loved the privacy. Kitchen was well stocked with spices, utensils and pots and pans. Tara, the host had a welcome basket with goodies and fun prizes for the kids which was very thoughtful. There was great communication and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended!

A Great Getaway for Families of All Ages

I cannot say enough about this amazing rental property . The owners have truly thought of everything. The home was accessible for my elderly grandparents but had more than enough to keep the teenagers busy. From the kayaks and bicycles to the cornhole games, we were busy the entire week and we barely had to leave the house. It was clean and so peaceful, we loved enjoying family meals on the screened in porch. Our Great Dane also had the best week lounging in the yard and watching the wildlife. We truly cannot say enough about this place and are already planning a trip back. Thank you, Tara, for our best family vacation yet.
