Our family love this this house and are repeat renters. Short walk to the beach pond and sound. Also the kitchen is well equipped and makes cooking very easy. We can’t wait to go back !

A lot of potential guests do not realize the house is only 600 feet from the beach because it sits inside the canopy of the live oaks. We rent as well, and nothing is more disturbing than a kitchen with plastic glasses and four plates. We want our guests to feel welcome and at their beach house. Look forward to seeing you again.

A perfect beach house

My daughter summarized it well: “These owners really understand what people want in a beach house and deliver it beautifully.” The setting, the amenities, the rooms set-up, furniture, linens, even the neighbors were all wonderful, making even a somewhat rainy week at the beach great.

Great stay!

We enjoyed our week at Duck Forever. The house was very comfortable and cozy, with all of the necessary amenities. The kids loved staying and playing in the bunk room. We made fantastic dinners in the large kitchen. The house is just a quick walk to the beach - where we spent most of our time. Would recommend to others.

Glad the kids enjoyed the bunk room, no one ever talks about it. For some reason a lot of guests envision the beach being further than the short walk it really is. For us renting must have a working kitchen and enough room for all to dine. Happy to hear your group felt at home! Henry

We had a wonderful stay. The home was beautiful and spotless. Henry is extremely organized and very quick at responding to our questions.

I would definitely visit Duck again and stay in this beautiful home.

Tricia, Glad to hear your visit to Duck was a wonderful experience and that our home set the tone for your time here. Having a "spotless" home ready for our guests is our biggest concern because it the first impression and says a lot, once you arrive. Thank you for your kind words on the packet of info and our response to your questions as well, our goal is to make our guests feel comfortable with the choice they have made. Looking forward to your next visit! Henry & Jane

A happy, modern home!!

Our family of four loved the house! There were so many well-lit spaces to read, relax and play. The house was immaculate on arrival and it is well-suited for larger families. We enjoyed the outdoor shower and most importantly not having to frantically search for a house key in the sand. Great place to stay while enjoying the beach and pool!

When designing the home for renovation we wanted areas for people to have private areas to be able to get away for reading, so thank you for noticing! Yes the outdoor shower and outdoor foot wash is a must at the beach, it the best way to cool down and to keep the sand outside. The push button lock on the ground door turned out to be a great choice, it amazes me how many guests don't want to deal with keys!! Regards, Henry & Jane

Large, comfortable home with great location!

Our family visited the Outer Banks for a family wedding. The home was in a very quiet neighborhood, and extremely easy beach access. The home was exactly as pictured … clean, spacious, enough room for us and our grown children and spouses! Would definitely recommend! My only suggestion is to add a Keurig.

Relaxing and Special!

Many thanks for an incredible stay in the OBX! The home was beautiful. It was perfect for three couples and our 12 month old. We had a relaxing time and thoroughly enjoyed the beach -- in early May, we had pretty much the whole beach to ourselves. The neighborhood is gorgeous and perfect for walks or runs. We loved everything about the home and our time. We can't wait to be back again! Thank you!

Great home with everything you could need. Perfect bedrooms accommodated all our needs with room to spare. Close location to the beach and safe quite neighborhood. The only thing we could’ve asked for was that the temperature control could go lower. We are a very hot natured bunch and found it on the warm side.

Duck Fore Ever

We booked the home for a family trip that included 2 small children and 5 adults. The property was very much as described. Wonderful home very near the beach in a quiet area that really could make you forget just how close you were to the busier tourist area and all the amenities that go with it. The hosts were great! Provided an interesting history of the area along many tips on places to eat and things to do that truly helped us make the most of our stay.
