Welcome to Afterdune Delight (formerly Quackin' Up), a well-cared-for, five bedroom beach house in the community of Duck Ridge Shores right in the heart of Duck, NC. With the beach access being a mere 200 yards away and Duck Rd less than a 1/2 a mile, this house is the perfect location. Want to go kayaking in the sound? No problem! The neighborhood provides access to launch kayaks and SUPs. The home is very well laid out over three levels so no one feels like they're on top of one another. Five bedrooms and 3 full baths plus an outdoor shower. Enjoy the private pool or relax in the hot tub. Bring your bikes and enjoy an easy bike ride to the shops, restaurants, and the Duck boardwalk. A pet-friendly home for well behaved dogs, Afterdune Delight is the perfect spot for the family dog to enjoy beach time as well. (One dog maximum)
There's nothing like watching a colorful sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean from the large decks boasting ocean views. There's plenty of room for sunbathing and enjoying sea breezes both on the decks and by the pool. All decks are gated - perfect for little ones and to keep your fur-babies from exploring too far! Inside the home, WiFi internet access, PlayStation 2 in the loft, many games, and a rec room with a Foosball table are available for your enjoyment. A fully-equipped kitchen and large dining table provide the perfect setting for your family meals.

About the host
Hosted by Suzanne Elms
We are the Elms family and we live just a few hours north west in Richmond VA with our 14 year old son and 12 year old daughter. Suzanne grew up in Va Beach VA and has always loved and missed the beach. So when the opportunity presented itself, we took the plunge and finally a dream has come true of owning our own beach house...a house that we are happy to share with other families to create memories to last a lifetime. Hope you all enjoy your time here and fall in love with Duck like we have. Greg and Suzanne Elms
Why they chose this property
We have vacationed in Duck for several years with other friends and we just love the low key, quieter, family feel of the area. Each of the other neighborhoods in OBX has its own draw but Duck has become our favorite. This house is perfectly located in that you can literally walk to the beach OR to downtown Duck in minutes. Wee Winks Market and Deli, Blue Point restaurant and the ABC store are all a half mile away or less! We also own a house at Lake Anna (VRBO.com/510981) and have managed it ourselves since 2013. Check out our many 5 star reviews!
What makes this property unique
Nice quiet street that dead ends at the ocean front so no through traffic, lovely pool, picnic and hot tub area. Five bedrooms are well laid out so that everyone has there space. 3 full bathrooms plus an outdoor shower.
