Great place to stay for a trip to the beach. Although the walk to the beach was not that long, the golf cart was a great benefit. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the stay and would do it again.

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!

We loved the house. It is beautiful. The grandkids loved the pool. We have been to this area before and your house has been the best. I would definitely recommend staying there.
House was great! Loved having the gold cart to beach. It was clean and plenty of room for multiple families. Ryan was always very quick to respond to questions. Would stay again and recommend to anyone!

Thanks so much for your great review! I’m glad you enjoyed the house, the golf cart, and had plenty of space for everyone. I appreciate your recommendation and would be happy to host you again anytime!
We really enjoyed this house. It’s beautiful and we especially loved the pool, the Jacuzzi and the golf cart for a short ride to the beach. The rooftop was a nice view as well. We loved Duck and the area . Beautiful sunsets and sunrises !!

My family and I loved everything about it. The location was awesome, the house was such a great space to come back to after a long day at the beach! The property manager was beyond excellent! Recommend this property over and over to anyone wanting to stay in the Outer Banks!! Five stars for sure!
Our family had an amazing week! The house was clean and Ryan was an incredible host! Great location to the beach, the golf cart was amazing for our family with small kids and we loved walking into town to eat and get coffee. We will definitely be back!
This was a exceptional vacation home. Great location. Close to downtown, shopping, restaurants but still quiet and homey. The home was very comfortable with modern appliances and thoughtful touches. Ryan was a very attentive and friendly host. My questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. I would definitely stay here again.
The place was SUPER CLEAN! The amenities were great! My family and I really enjoyed taking the golf cart to the beach. Ryan the host was excellent to communicate with.
We've been renting in OBX for several years, and the Duck Tree House has been THE nicest home we have stayed in thus far. Beautiful decor and amenities, great location, and an owner who is responsive, friendly, and has thought of literally everything to ensure your stay is just perfect. We would stay here again without any reservation. We loved it!
The house was fantastic! So many great upgrades. Working with Ryan was a true pleasure. If you’re looking for a great house very close to the beach, this is the one. I highly recommend!!
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.
We just spent a fantastic week at the Duck Beach Tree House! The house was beautiful, clean, exactly as described and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The owner was very responsive, provided great information, and was easy to work with and eager to make sure we had everything we needed for a great vacation. The beach is a short walk away and the golf cart provided even quicker/easier access. Thank you for such a great vacation!!
