Where the green trees meet the blue seas! Short walk to the beach & pet friendly

This cheerful Duck cottage is an easy 6 minute walk to our well maintained neighborhood beach. Located on a private tree lined lot, our cottage is surrounded by all things nature. It’s the perfect place to relax and watch birds or to enjoy the sunshine on one of the decks. The upper level living room is filled with natural light and large windows making it a great place for entertaining. The screened in porch is a comfortable place to enjoy your favorite evening beach beverage or coffee in the morning. The lower level features 3 bedrooms and a sitting room. The master bedroom has a king sized bed, private bathroom and access to the back deck. The 2nd bedroom features a queen size bed with access to the back deck as well. The 3rd bedroom offers a twin over full bunk bed. If the beach isn’t enough to entertain you, we have flat screen TVs located in the main living room and sitting room. We also offer free WIFI, games, bikes, corn hole, carts, dog beds/bowls, a bbq and much more! Please take care of our home and we’ll take care of you! Come see all that Duck has to offer!
Cheers to making a lifetime of memories with family and friends.

Wanted more time!

Loved this house and the neighborhood. The uniqueness of the coastal trees surrounding the houses was my favorite part. Great house, easy walk to the beach. All the things we needed in the kitchen, rooms, etc. was right there. Host was quick to respond to a question we had after checking in.

Excellent stay in Outer Banks

We had a wonderful time in the Outer Banks and really enjoyed Carri's house. The booking and follow up were easy as the owner is very responsive and helpful. The house is very comfortable in a great location. It has a well stocked kitchen so cooking is a breeze. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

a week of quiet

We enjoyed a week of quiet days in Duck--walking on deserted beaches, eating sea food and generally taking it easy. Very enjoyable and a well maintained and cosy house.

Best Beach Vacation Ever!

My husband and our two dogs spent a week at Carri’s lovely home! It was our best beach vacation ever! The weather was perfect, the house was perfect & the short walk to the beach was easy! The house had everything that we needed & the kitchen was well-stocked with everything I needed to cook for the week.

Sanctuary with our dogs

We enjoyed this spacious beach retreat with our 2 dogs. I met up with 2 longtime friends for a week of beach relaxation and chance for us to catch up. It was a bonus to be able to bring our pets instead of having to board them. The place was clean and very spacious with more decks and outdoor space than we ever could have asked for.

Spring Break Trip

The house is perfect for a family. In a quiet neighborhood but only a few minute walk to the beach. House is fully equipped with beach chairs, bikes, games and puzzles. Owners are clearly dog lovers which was a huge perk for us.

Wonderful quiet and secluded place close to the beach

We stayed in Aug 2023 with our family and dog. The house was exactly what we were looking for. House was well furnished, had plenty of amenities to keep us busy when we had down time. Walk to the beach was easy thanks to all of the nature trails. Everything about the vacation was great

Awesome house in the woods and a block from the sound.

Nice house, car port, lots of decks and lots of stairs, but we'll worth it all. The beds were comfortable and the inside was very neat and clean. The owners were very willing to help to make your stay as good as possible.

Excellent place to unwind

Property was well maintained and had all the amenities to make a stay uncomplicated. There were many extras around that we weren't expecting and didn't have to use ex- toothbrushes, dog cage...ask Carrie, i bet what you need is around somewhere. 6 minute walk to the beach is thoroughly enjoyable. Saw a doe on the nature trail! Will definitely stay again.

Fabulous vacation home

From beginning, Carri was helpful, responsive, and accommodating. The house was perfectly located near other family, the beach, and the Sanderling pool. The house is perfectly outfitted, including all beach necessities, dog friendly, and included all necessary housewares. We were so happy and comfortable in this home we plan to return next year. Thank you Carri and Jessica for making our week and OBX so wonderful.

Awesome Thanksgiving getaway

My brother met up with my husband and me (and our dogs) at this gorgeous, spacious house for the Thanksgiving weekend. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a full Thanksgiving meal, and they even put out the holiday placemats for us. The house had enough room for us to spread out, we were minutes from the beach (took us a second to figure out the way…nature trails wee a bit confounding), and ten minutes from the Duck town center for donuts and shopping. It was a fantastic, lazy, blustery beach filled weekend with 80’s movies on tv and good wine. Carri is a terrific host.

Awesome Place!

My wife, two kids (newborn and toddler), and dog had an amazing vacation here. Even with the kids and all the beach items the walk to the beach was very easy. The beach was beautiful and was not crowded at all. The street the house is on is very secluded and we felt safe letting our toddler ride her bicycle around. The house has everything you need, from cooking equipment, pack n' plays, and even dog bowls. Carri is an excellent host; always responded quickly and very knowledgeable about the area.

Peaceful

The house is surrounded by live oak trees, feels like you’re in a treehouse. The house was very clean and comfortable. You really feel at home. The house really provides that at home feeling. It was a close up to the beach, and my dogs love the nature trails throughout the community. We will definitely come back again. Thank you for sharing you home with us. L.Delaney
