About this property

This Cozy Cottage by the Sea will steal your Heart and calm your Soul.

Gentle Breezes is family owned cottage of 30 years and is located in the heart of Duck. It is Oceanside but not on the ocean front. The house does not not have a view of the ocean but you can hear the ocean especially at night. Our house is located in a safe area for walking to the beach and it only is a few minutes walk from the house with no busy streets to cross. Only neighbors and their guest are allowed to use the beach in front of our neighborhood. There are life guard stands placed in strategic places along this stretch of the beach with lifeguards on 4 wheelers observing the activity on the beach as well in the water. No fires are allowed on the beach at any time. There is a charcoal grill which you can use downstairs on the patio. No grills are allowed on the upper decks.
You will find that our cottage is very clean as our cleaners do a thorough job sanitizing between guest stays.
The bedrooms consist of 3 Queen beds and twin bunk beds. with a pull out twin
new mattress under the bed. Sheets and towels are provided for a small fee There is an open lot on the deck side of our house belongs to our neighbors and has been designated as a Sanctuary for animals such as deer and rabbits, and to protect the plants that grow there. Please do not trespass on their lot. There are no houses close behind us making for more privacy. We recently put new floors all throughout the whole house and there are freshly painted bathrooms as well as in the downstairs area in the laundry area. ,There are new light fixtures and new ceiling fans as well as other upgrades that are in process. There are new kitchen cabinets and new mattresses on the beds. The exterior of the house is being replaced sometime this year and we will be replacing the deck if time permits. We have kept our rental prices down by being conservative with doing repairs with the cost of materials going up. Our house is in a great location for getting to the beach and the town of Duck . The ocean can get rough at times so please beware of rip currents and keep a close eye on children and pets. You can also let your dogs off leash on the beach as long as they stay with you. There are sand stickers mostly in the grass so beware with pets and small children walking in the grass and tracking them into the house. You can also rent chairs and umbrellas at Atlantic rentals which is close. There is a rental bike place as well as a rental spot for golf karts. We hope you have an enjoyable and safe stay. There are many things to do in Duck as well as Corolla Beach town 15 minutes north of Duck. Lots of wonderful restaurants but they are much cheaper at lunch time than at dinner . Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help make your stay in our home as pleasant as possible.

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I are self employed and have lived in Currituck for 25 years. I am the Director of the Currituck SPCA and he has a contract with the State Department and travels all over the world. treating drinking water in American Embassies. We bought the house as an investment and fell in love with it and Duck. We have 2 sons and 6 grandchildren that we have made many wonderful memories with at the beach. We hope that you can do the same.

Why they chose this property

Our location in the Town of Duck is its best attribute. It is a 5 minute walk to the ocean . It does not have an ocean view but is located on the ocean side and you can certainly hear the ocean. You can walk to all the downtown shops and restaurants. Duck is very kid and fur baby friendly. Some of its restaurants are the best in the Outer Banks. It is a 20 minute drive to Corolla where there are more things to do and places to eat. The Infamous wild horses can be seen there on the 4 wheel drive parts or the northern beaches. The Historic Currituck Lighthouse is there which you can climb to the top of for a beautiful view. Last but not least we have a family of deer that like to hang out behind the house. They look forward to seeing your friendly faces.

What makes this property unique

We prefer Sunday to Sunday checkout where the traffic is not as heavy.
Lots of privacy because of the size of the lot .
Close to everything including it being 1 hour from Hatteras.
Duck has a one mile long boardwalk, within walking distance from the house, along the Albemarle Sound where you can access shops and restaurants while you are taking in all the wildlife that calls its home there. Sunsets are spectacular from there. Duck Donuts is accessible from the boardwalk as is the park where there is something going on most of the Spring , Summer, and Fall. Checkout the Town of Duck Facebook page or its website for listing of events as well as the weather and conditions of the ocean. Duck is very pet friendly and kid friendly. There are a couple of rental places in Duck where you can rent most items you might need, as in bikes, kayaks, umbrellas and chairs. There are sidewalks, bike paths, and crosswalks for your safety.
