Duck Road Central Location🐶Dog Friendly🎾Parking &Tennis Pass⛱Walk to the Beach

Henry's Castle is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath "beach box" type cottage centrally located on Duck Rd. in the community of Southern Shores. Close to everything in Duck and Kitty Hawk, but with a "tucked away" feel on a large wooded lot. Newly decorated and furnished, with a Boho style retro feel, tile floors, wrap-around deck with screened in porch and picnic table, and a crows nest.

The house is an approximately 1/3 mile walk to the nearest beach access. Beach accesses in the community of Southern Shores are only for residents and guests and most do not provide parking of any kind, so our walkable accesses and the beaches are remarkably uncrowded even in the peak of summer.

If you would like to drive to an access, we provide a parking pass for the Southern Shores Civic Association beach access at Hillcrest Drive. The site has 2 showers, toilets, a gazebo, benches, and a viewing platform. The beach and viewing platform are wheelchair accessible. A volleyball court has been constructed at this site, as well. We are members of the Tennis Club, so a pass for the courts on Hillcrest Drive is also provided.

The cottage has an open concept living room and (fully stocked) kitchen/dining area area, with tile floors throughout the house, a wraparound deck with a gas grill, screened porch with a picnic table for outdoor dining, and a crows nest for relaxing outdoors above the treetops of the wooded lot and an outdoor shower for rinsing after the beach.

The master bedroom features a queen size bed and en-suite bathroom.
The second bedroom features a queen size bed.
The third bedroom features a single over double bunkbed set.
All bedrooms have memory foam mattresses, high quality cotton sheets, and Roku streaming TVs.


We also have converted our workshop/storage room on the ground level (not attached from the inside) to a "Game Room" with a full-size refrigerator, foosball, ping pong, and darts. Under the house, we provide a hammock, cornhole, and ladder ball games for outside, and for cooler nights there is a fire pit in the backyard.


The cottage is located just 2 miles from the Village of Duck with its wide selection of walkable restaurants and shopping options and 4 miles from the Harris Teeter and Food Lion grocery stores and Wal-Mart shopping center.

We provide a beach cart and some limited beach gear for your use as well.

We supply the first roll of toilet paper and paper towels, but guests are responsible for needs after that.

Propane for the gas grill is on a "pay it forward" system - if you use the last of the tank, please exchange it at a local grocery store, Wal-mart, 7-11, or Ace Hardware. Also, please clean the grill for the next guest before you checkout.

Beach gear - if you use it, please rinse it and put it back as you found it before you check-out. If you break something, please replace it with something equivalent.

Loss of Tennis Club or Parking Passes will result in a $100 fee for replacement.
