It was great location and place was clean. Wish internet could have been stable as it was only working for 10 mins or so after restarting the router.

Hi, glad you all had a great stay! Not sure what was going on with the internet during your stay and sorry about that. The wifi mesh system typically provides lightening fast speeds on all floors and even outside. I will reach out to the cable company and get a new modem next week.
Stayed here for 2 nights for my son’s birthday with my family. Host was very helpful as this was my first time ever using any kind of booking service. House was well stocked, and in a fabulous location! Close to everything we could need and will definitely be back!
Great home and had a great time. Pool was heated and felt great. Hot tub was awesome. The outdoor grill was an added positive!

Hi Landon, glad you all had a great stay! Yes the pool heat is really nice on those cooler shoulder seasons. We use it all the time when we are down there in the spring and fall.
The house was extremely clean and the pool towels, beach chairs, and beach equipment were most helpful. Gary was very responsive during the stay and let us check in earlier than we expected. Everyone enjoyed themselves and had a great vacation.
The location of this house is great for families. Just a short walk to the beach and added plus that all beach chairs, umbrella, toys and wagon were all provided. The house was big enough for our family of 11 and the pool kept the kids occupied for hours. The owner, Gary, was super responsive and helped with a minor issue. Overall we had a great time and would definitely rent again!
Good Tides was a wonderful home to rent. The sheets, towels, beach equipment were so much appreciated the home and beds comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. We had 11 on this trip and there was plenty of room. The location was quiet, neighbors wonderful and it was about a1/4 mile walk to the beach ( sounds long but it took like 5-10 minutes) and close to shops and restaurants. If and when we go back, Good Tides would be where we would stay.
We had a wonderful stay in this house! Great amount of space and was well stocked with items we usually have to supply. Great assortment of beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards with a short walk to the beach. Gary was very quick with responses to questions and concerns. Would definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful week in Duck at Good Tides! Property owner Gary was a pleasure to rent from, he was on top of everything and checked in to make sure everything was great for our trip. I would definitely recommend renting this property and would happily rent this property again

Great place for a family vacation! Beach was not crowded at all, quiet neighborhood, beautiful home. Plenty of room for the whole family, and we really appreciated all the beach equipment available for use! Thanks for allowing us to use your home for our trip!

Thanks for the great review Caitlin, we are so happy everyone enjoys and uses all the beach gear and sand toys!
We enjoyed our time at Good tides, however the house needs a good deep cleaning and repairs of the decks and the door locks.

Hi Bonnie, glad you enjoyed your stay. We do a thorough deep clean every spring and usually get rave reviews on how clean the house is. We always strive to make it perfect for everyone.
Our family had a wonderful stay at Good Tides. The listing is very accurate - the house is very clean and well stocked with soaps etc - which is very convenient when visiting from far. It’s a short walk to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. The owner was very responsive to our questions. The pool and the hot tub were a highlight! Would definitely recommend.

Thanks for the great review Matt. We are so happy you all had an amazing vacation!
We had a great time at this house. It was perfect and had everything we needed. Recommend renting a golf cart to get to beach and back if you have a lot of stuff to bring there.

Glad you had a great time on your vacation! Hope you come back and stay again.
We loved the property and all its amenities: close to the beach, great backyard pool, jacuzzi, and more balconies than we even had time to use! All of our kids got their own room and pretty much their own bathrooms too. Quiet, private, clean and Gary and his family were just amazing hosts with impeccable communications. Their check-in process and facilities were perfect. 10 out of 10 - no notes.
Great property, very short walk to the beach, well appointed, kid friendly, perfect location to everything. The owner is very responsive and accomodating.
Gary is super responsive. The property was clean- we have stayed at so many places where we have to clean some areas that aren’t up to our standards and that was not the case here. Great property and a great host. Highly recommend!!
Good Times at Good Tides!We had an awesome family vacation at Good Times! The house was so perfect for our family. Each couple had their own tastefully decorated, spacious private room. The gathering area was large and open so that we could all be together while preparing a meal or while the children played with toys or played a video game. We appreciated that the listing was quite accurate and that the house delivered on its promise!What I loved most was that the house was immaculately clean, putting us all immediately at ease. It felt like we were in our own home. The kitchen was well stocked. The ample cookware and tableware was high quality and made meal prep a breeze. Another plus was the extra fridge in the game room, which came in very handy for keeping beverages cold. My grandson loved the bunk beds and wanted to sleep there by himself. The location of the property was super convenient to access either the beach or sound side, both of which were lovely. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors were friendly and helpful. The hot tub was relaxing and soothing after a day of sightseeing and exploring. We enjoyed that very much! Communication with our host, Gary, was totally easy. He was always accessible and quick to respond and as friendly and accommodating as could be. He was a wonderful host! We would highly recommend a stay at Good Tides. Our family hopes to return again for more good times!

Gary was terrific in all communications and help in making our first stay at Duck a fantastic one! The house was very clean. Our family and extended family enjoyed the beach, pool, hot tub, foosball table and house! We all had a fun time at Duck! Thank you very much Gary!!

Thanks for all the kind words James! Glad you all had a great time. See you next year.
Overall we had a wonderful stay. Gary is so communicative and helpful to ensure your visit is top notch. Everything in the kitchen you’d need to cook meals, lots of places to hangout and relax. Plenty of beach gear came in handy. Hot tub was clean, too cold for the pool. Only reason for a 4/5 stars is the price was a bit high relative to other places we’ve stayed and it wasn’t as updated, smaller home, less outdoor space for little ones to play, deck run down with some nails up, etc. Would still recommend it for a family trip to Duck!

Hi Melanie, glad you had a great vacation! Sorry about the nail pops on the deck. We were actually in the process of gathering quotes for the top decks and both of them are being replaced with composite decking next week!
The house was equipped with everything that we needed and the owner was quick to help with a small issue we had. We even forgot a few items and he arranged to have them shipped to us!

Thanks Kim, happy you had a great 2 week vacation and no problem at all getting your things mailed back to you.
It was wonderful to be able to stay with our entire family of 10, ages 4 to 65, in one house, enjoying family dinners and playing in the pool. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We really appreciated all the small conveniences provided by the owner (not always supplied by other owners) such as toilet paper, laundry & dishwasher soap, beach towels, etc. We had no problems while we were there. If we ever get back to the Outer Banks, this is the place we'll stay.
