the host is very friendly and helpful. the hose was nice and love that it's pet friendly! very easy walk to the beach. there's a wagon, beach chairs, and umbrella you can use on the beach too!
Our family and family friends loved our stay. The house is super close to the beach while also walkable to town! There was room for everyone. Great stay, thank you!
Perfect property and location for 3 generations of family! Catch sunrises from the ocean on one end of the street and sunsets from the marsh on the other end of the street. The layout allowed us all to hang out together, but also to come and go in our own time and space when needed. Easy drive or walk to most of the shops and restaurants. Suzanne, the host, was very attentive and easy to communicate with.
We enjoyed the proximity to Duck, the beach, and the wealth of amenities at this property. The hosts were communicative throughout the booking process and provided clear instructions.
We loved our stay at Suzanne’s beach home. The house is perfectly located for easy walking access to the beach and town. The kids loved the loft and the pool. The outdoor shower was perfect for a rinse-off after pool or beach. Quite relaxing and enjoyable!
We had a wonderful time at this home. It was within walking distance of the beach and the boardwalk. The property was clean and we really enjoyed the hot tub. The owner was easy to reach with any questions or concerns. We would definitely stay at this location again.
We thank the renter for their review. I checked in with them as I do all renters, the day after they checked in and they said "Everything was good, thanks!" When they say "needs TLC" we're assuming they are referring to the exterior.
We purchased this property in August of 2021 and have already made several updates that allow for our renters to enjoy a clean, well-maintained, modern and beachy home in an ideal location with ample space and extra accommodations you won't find everywhere. The exterior of the home needs attention and we fully intend to replace but this is quite an exorbitant expense and will take time.
Great location to the Village of Duck. The owner, Suzanne is an excellent communicator.
Rooms not quite as large as we would have liked. Overall, everyone had a wonderful time.
We had a great stay. The keurig machine was broken, but owner offered to replace it, or get coffee with us. Good communication.

Location was wonderful. Pool and hot tub were very nice and clean. House and decor could use some TLC. A bit hard use in the house. Rooms are TINY. May sleep 10 but couldn’t imagine hosting 10 people in the living area. No view of ocean. Owners will need to step it up in comparison to other rentals. But we did enjoy our stay.
This house was prefect for our family and I was surprised by the quality of the kitchen items. Most rentals have really cheap old stuff but not here. Really good quality.
We would stay again! The location was great-owners were very easy to communicate with when needed. I will say, the cleaning people could do a better job. But the isn’t a reflection of the owners or the house.
My daughter and I loved the house. It allowed our family to get together as a large group, with enough smaller spaces if some need to just have less activity.
We were within walking distance to beach, sound, and shopping. On 07/04, fireworks were visible from Kill Devil Hills to Duck.
Owner had labeled kitchen, book rack with local dining, copy of house operational items, like TVs, pool, hot tub, outdoor shower, and grill. After 5 of family went back to their locations, the 9 staying here slept soundly.
We want to go back.

Week at Duck
House was in a good location … 8 houses from beach ! Family loved the pool area … comfortable with lots of seating . Kids loved the loft area . Kitchen well stocked. Deck furnished well . Outside wood of deck in need of refurbishing / replacing . Bedroom floor bath sink drain not working . Lower level queen bed mattress needs replacing . Front grill was in horrible shape, but was replaced the day we left . All in all the owner was very responsive and we had a great week !

Thank you for the feedback. We found out the box spring was broken from previous guests jumping on the bed. This has been replaced. Sink has been fixed and outdoor grill has been replaced. Thank you again for staying with us!
About the host
Hosted by Suzanne Elms
We are the Elms family and we live just a few hours north west in Richmond VA with our two teenagers. Suzanne grew up in Va Beach VA and has always loved and missed the beach. So when the opportunity presented itself, we took the plunge and finally a dream has come true of owning our own beach house...a house that we are happy to share with other families to create memories to last a lifetime. Hope you all enjoy your time here and fall in love with Duck like we have. Greg and Suzanne Elms
Why they chose this property
We have vacationed in Duck for several years with other friends and we just love the low key, quieter, family feel of the area. Each of the other neighborhoods in OBX has its own draw but Duck has become our favorite. This house is perfectly located in that you can literally walk to the beach OR to downtown Duck in minutes. Wee Winks Market and Deli, Blue Point restaurant and the ABC store are all a half mile away or less!
What makes this property unique
Nice quiet street that dead ends at the ocean front so no through traffic, lovely pool, picnic and hot tub area. Five bedrooms are well laid out so that everyone has there space. 3 full bathrooms plus an outdoor shower.
