Reviewer Comments:
We (wife, pre-school-aged child, and I) stayed in Duck Diamond for a week in September and we loved it so much, our daughter didn't want to leave and now wants to go back. The interior of the property is very well-maintained and cared for by the owner, and it shows. In a nutshell - beautiful property with close beach access in a quiet, pretty neighborhood and plenty of activities in the house. Property was just as shown in pictures, but outdoor areas needed a deeper clean. A few pros and cons for potential renters: Pros:- only a few houses down from the beach--about a two minute walk to the steps that take you the beach. BUT, due to the dunes, you have to go up and then down a good amount of steps, so just be warned in terms of hauling beach supplies. I don't think this is specific to this property. - in a residential neighborhood in Sanderling, so it was a very quiet and exclusive-feeling neighborhood- while not walking distance to Duck's shops and restaurants, you could bike there and it is halfway between downtown Duck and Corolla, which is nice. Closest grocery is Harris Teeter in Corolla.- very well-maintained and updated interiors--bathrooms, floors, kitchens, TVs, etc. Just beautiful. daughter loved the little elephant chairs in kids' room. - Nice outdoor decks with partial ocean views- Great activities - cornhole, beach umbrellas, beach toys, bikes, etc.Cons: - house backs up to the main road (NC 12), and there were a lot of trucks/4x4s. it didn't disturb us, but you can definitely hear. - outside areas, when inspected immediately upon arrival, were full of spiderwebs and critters, which resulted in them being unusable (especially the screened deck, which we had hoped to use). Property company did send out someone to clean it but that was 4 days into our trip and right before we got cold, rainy weather. Would definitely recommend, though, and look forward to another visit.
