Perfect getaway

The house was comfortable, clean and well stocked for beach activities. The golf cart was a big help carrying the chairs and cabana along with the kids and their sand toys. The house was conveniently located. It was a quick walk to the beach and a quick drive to restaurants and stores. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Overall, it was the perfect getaway.

Tree House is an amazing getaway

My family and I enjoyed everything about the tree house. The house is beautifully decorated and very clean. The pool, hot tub and golf cart was a big hit with my grandchildren. We are already planning another trip to the Tree House next year. Ryan is a wonderful host. He checked in a couple of times throughout our stay to ensure we had everything needed to make our vacation more enjoyable. I'm looking forward to making more memories at the Tree House.

Exceptional Vacation at the Duck Beach Tree House

This vacation was outstanding due to the exceptional property we rented for our family. The accommodations provided everything we needed from well maintained cooking facilities and games to utilize during our stay. Particularly we enjoyed the pool facilities and the use of a golf cart to travel the short distance to the beach. This home was surrounded by trees providing a break from the hot sun. This property is superbly maintained and exceeded our expectations. We had a great vacation here and must give credit to the owner for the care given to the property and the communication was more than adequate and very personable.

Amazing beach house!

This house is fantastic! Everything about it was wonderful - clean, modern, close to the town of Duck and a very short walk or ride in the golf cart to the beach. Ryan is so accommodating and was checking in frequently to ensure we had everything we need. The beds are comfortable and the linens are NICE - not the cheap Walmart sheets and towels I’ve come to expect at rental properties. The house is outfitted with everything you could need, including nice beach chairs and a ton of kitchen equipment. The appliances are top of the line and the views of the sound from the top sundeck are beautiful. The pool and hot tub were clean and we loved how private everything is. Would definitely book again!!

Best family vacation rental

My family had the best time here and we will definitely come back. The house is beautifully decorated and you can tell that they really take care of the property. The beds were really comfortable, kitchen had updated appliances with everything you needed. I like the fact that all the pots/pans were in great condition. The pool was awesome and the kids never wanted to get out. Most importantly it was easy to communicate with Ryan and he was very accommodating. He genuinely wanted to make sure we had a good time and had everything we needed. You will not be disappointed.

Beyond Expectations

This home was exactly as advertised…and more. Ryan, the owner, was so easy to communicate with. Virtually instantaneous response! Extremely clean! Great kitchen setup. So much silverware and dishes! Most we’ve ever seen in a rental. Made life so easy! Beautifully appointed house. Great pool. Quiet neighborhood. The golf cart is priceless. And the beach is perfect. So much more than 5 stars!

You Can't Do Better in the Outer Banks

I'm convinced you can't do better in the Outer Banks. This is an absolute gem of a property and a fantastic host. The property itself is big, the pool is well maintained, the golf cart is so convenient to get you onto the private beach quickly. There are tons of nice additions to the property as well, all captured in the listing of course. The real differentiator here, though is that you can tell that Ryan, the host, truly cares to provide an amazing experience for his guests. From his responsiveness to requests all the way down to the little details that he's put into the property to make it way nicer and more convenient for his guests. He is someone that actually works hard to make this a perfect destination. Honestly, you can't go wrong with the Duck Tree House property.

A great house!

We had the most wonderful week. This house is absolutely gorgeous and the photos don't lie! The house is beautifully updated and clean and we loved the hardwood floors especially during COVID. Ryan checked with us throughout the week about our stay and was so attentive and responsive. He was just a text or phone call away. He also provided us with events happening during the week we were there. He went above and beyond! The location is great! The sunset from the sound on the rooftop deck was amazing! Just a short walk to the beach but an even quicker trip in the golf cart. Not having to walk with all of our beach stuff was so nice. It was great to be close to the beach and to also have the private pool and hot tub when we were done at the beach or just wanted a change of scenery. Our family would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Beach House!

My husband and I (the grandparents) and my daughter's family of five returned to this property again this year, knowing that the house would be perfect for our needs. The layout provides many areas for privacy and for family gatherings. I am again so impressed with the beautiful decor that adds to the relaxing atmosphere. It is not "cheesy beachy," but "classy beachy," with beautiful artwork and furnishings in every room (even the bathrooms)! The kitchen is well stocked and there is an extra fridge in the ground level room to accommodate beverages or extra ice, etc. The foosball table is always a hit with the grandkids, but the pool and hot tub rank right up there with the beach itself. Also a golf cart is provided to shuttle beach chairs and tent, etc. down to the beach. This was truly a lifesaver! The large cooler was also great to have for lunches on the beach. All equipment was in great shape. Ryan has thought about everything and is extremely responsive with immediate answers to any questions or concerns. I could go on and on about this property, but everything in the description is genuinely true. If you love sunsets, you will love this house. Every night our family took a pause from whatever we were doing to walk upstairs to the viewing area (with seating) at the top of the house and soak up the spectacular sunsets together. Beyond special. We have already booked our third year return visit to this property. Without reservations, I say, "Book it!!" You won't regret it!

We enjoyed a lovely week on Duck at Fade Away Cay. There were 2 families with kids aged 10-15. The house was clean, updated and well situated, walking distance to the beach and a short distance from town. The owner was accessible and helpful. We will be back!

This one was just right

Everything about this vacation house felt like a treat. The quality of the furnishings and kitchen items were more like a goal at home instead of a rental property. There was enough room set aside for our stuff that we could move in and not have food items or bags cluttering up. Ryan was quick to answer questions, was accessible and considerate (we ended up arriving late at night and he turned on the lights for us so we had a welcoming house instead of darkness). The proximity to the beach and the gold cart to move all our stuff was on point. The stargazing from the 3rd level deck was a complete bonus and you could hear the crash of the waves in the background. We would hands down rent again and look forward to working with Ryan in the future.

Wonderful stay between ocean and sound

Our family had a great time during our fall getaway. We loved the heated pool and hot tub on cool nights, star gazing from the rooftop deck, and taking the golf cart to the beach. The home is immaculate. The layout and all the deck space were great for spreading out. We had amazing experiences at both Jockey's Ridge and the lighthouse in Corolla and enjoyed eating and shopping at the Duck boardwalk.
