About this property

OCEANFRONT@ The Lucky Duck- 100% renovated, clean, cozy & well-appointed.

Our place is a super bright, incredibly clean, excellently appointed oceanfront condo with a view you are sure to love! Literally, a 2 minute walk to the beach! This new rental property will be your "go-to" favorite annual trip location. We really wanted to make sure everyone enjoys our special place as much as we do! Enjoy lazy days on the beach and at the pool, drinks on the deck, and exploring the quaint town of Duck. And BYOC (bring your own charcoal) for a nightly cook out in the courtyard area. So much FUN! We know you'll love Colony by the Sea (CBTS) as much as we do. It's a true gem in the Outer Banks! Ours is a first floor, end unit: no elevator, 2 short flights of stairs (building on pilings). We love to cook and entertain so we have a well-stocked kitchen, including basic spices, EVOO, balsamic vinegar and just about every utensil and baking/cooking tool we could think of. BRING YOUR OWN: paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, towels (bath/beach/dish), sheets, pillows, and blankets. There is a coin laundry room for $2 per load (same for wash or dry) under the building if needed (it is kept very clean). TV sets in living room and bedroom with basic cable and streaming capability. Linen packages available upon request and cost varies based on number of guests/beds to be used.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This was our second time staying here and once again, Tracey was a wonderful host and the condo was perfect for our family vacation! This condo is a great location for couples and small families. We had our toddler and our baby with us, and they loved it! Tracey communicated with us quickly and was very responsive. The kitchen was very well-stocked and made meals much easier, and the new king-sized mattress was so comfy. 10/10 recommend!

The Lucky Duck is a very comfortable, well appointed condo that is conveniently located just a few steps away from a great beach and is within easy walking distance of all the wonderful things to do in the town of Duck, NC. We have stayed there on three occasions and have enjoyed our stay more each time. The host is very helpful and gives great directions on what is needed to begin and end your stay. The accommodations are very clean and comfortable, and all of the features provided are kept in great working order. One could not ask for more in a VRBO rental experience.

The place was great. Beautiful beach view and easy access to Duck. Biggest drawback, having to bring sheets, quilts, pillows, beach and bath towels, hair dryer and kitchen towel. In all fairness, that was spelled out in the listing but I failed to notice. Added a great deal to our packing.

Thank you for leaving us a review. I wish we could have worked together in advance to slim down what you had to bring. As our information states, we do offer linen packages as an option for our guests and it sounds like that may have improved your experience. Nevertheless, we are happy you enjoyed your stay and hope you will return.

About the host

Hosted by Tracey & David Naghshineh

Host profile image
We are Tracey & David Naghshineh. We were both born and raised in Northern VA, but moved to NC in 2006. We have always loved the Outer Banks, Duck & Colony by the Sea (CBTS) specifically, and have spent over 25 years making memories here with our two sons, and various combinations of family and friends. Some longtime VA friends of ours purchased a CBTS condo (104A two doors down) in 2013 and we finally decided it was time for us to do the same. We could not be happier with our decision. We are so excited and can't wait to continue making memories here! And we can't wait for YOU to make memories here too!!!

Why they chose this property

We purchased our condo from a lovely, original CBTS owner. She was moving on to her next chapter, and so were we! We completely renovated and refreshed this property. Everything is new: windows, sliding door, kitchen, stove, dishwasher, cabinets, showers, vanities, toilets, floors, front door, furniture, and paint! Lots of planning and sweat equity, but the finished condo is truly amazing. And we hope our guests will enjoy it as much as we do! It's a very special place to us, and we want everyone to feel at home.

Important note: WE DO NOT ALLOW GUESTS TO BRING PETS OF ANY KIND, even service animals. We feel this is the best way to ensure our property and the furnishings/contents stay in the best condition possible. So, please, leave your pets at home. We take this rule very seriously, and will be notified if there is a pet in our condo. This will lead to your vacation being cut short, without a refund. And no one wants all that drama while on vacation.

Full disclosure: We do love dogs and have 2 ourselves, and they will sometimes be at the condo with us, but they do NOT get on the furniture or sleep in the bed with us, even at our home. They stay on the floor and in their own doggie beds. I just wanted to disclose that should anyone have serious allergies and need to know.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this condo and knew its potential from the start. It is a first floor, end unit with a large, extra window in the kitchen that lets in lots of natural light. There is a view of the CBTS swimming pool from the deck, perfect for watching the kids. You can get down on the beach in literally 2 minutes, and the outdoor grill area is right next to our unit. Since it's on the end, it's also out of the regular stairway "traffic pattern" for the other guests staying in building A. It's tucked away at the end on its own. And you can even see your parked car from outside the front door.
