Duck Side of the Moon: Oceanside home, great backyard, saltwater pool and pergol

Nestled among the treetops on a hill, Duck Side of the Moon is a six-bedroom home with a perfect location in Duck – a 5-minute walk east to the beach, and an easy stroll west to some of the best dining and shopping anywhere in the Outer Banks in one of the "Best Small Towns in the South", according to Travel & Leisure magazine. Sit on the breezy decks and enjoy the beautiful views of the ocean horizon or take a dip or swim a few laps in the large private saltwater pool. Enjoy the serene enclosed outdoor space with plenty of room to soak up the sun, or spend the afternoon under one of the pergolas with a good book and your favorite beverage.

Duck Side of the Moon is beautifully furnished and decorated, with photographs of the Outer Banks by local and visiting artists. Bedrooms and common areas feature Roku TVs, with cable and DVD players as well in common areas. Duck Side of the Moon’s top level has vaulted ceilings and features a kitchen, a sunlit living room, and large dining area that open to wide decks, as well as a bathroom with a relaxing steam shower, a king bedroom with separate deck access, and an enclosed screen porch. The entry-level, just below, has a full bath and 3 bedrooms - one with king bed, one with two full beds, and a perfect room for kids with bunk beds that sleeps four. The lower level -- with direct access to the beautiful pool and outdoor dining and lounging areas -- has an indoor sitting/TV area and separate small kitchen (with dishwasher and an icemaker), plus two queen bedrooms and a full bath. An external freight elevator means that you can take luggage and groceries out of your car and send them up, saving your knees and back the hassle of lugging them up the steps. If you can’t be totally on vacation and need to work or go to school remotely there is high-bandwidth WiFi.

Then pass the hours with friends and family lounging poolside, listening to music on the outdoor speakers and enjoying al fresco meals in the covered outdoor dining area. Or spend the day playing in the surf at the beach, just a short walk down Plover Drive. For a change of pace, take a stroll over to the upscale shops at Scarborough Faire and other nearby shopping and grab an ice cream or spend the afternoon browsing. Later, you can head over to top restaurants such as Aqua, NC Coast, or Blue Point Grill, all just a short walk away, for a sunset cocktail and fine dining or a casual bite with the best views around.
