500 ft from beach! Vintage & charming OBX cottage "The Cozy Duck" 4 bd/2 ba
Welcome to "The Cozy Duck OBX", a secluded 4 bedroom 2 bath cottage in beautiful Duck surrounded by live oaks and with a ground floor outdoor shower. Wake up early and walk 500 feet straight to a direct private street beach access (only for residents and guests on this street; there is no public access) to enjoy that amazing sunrise over the ocean. Downtown Duck is less than 1 mile away, making for a quick walk or bike ride to the famous Duck Donuts, outstanding restaurants, excellent boutique shops, and enjoy the beautiful sunset on the boardwalk on the sound.
Once you enter the house you will instantly be transported to vintage OBX with the rustic charm of beautiful knotty pine paneling. The living, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms are all on one level with a bonus loft upstairs. There is a TV with Roku in the living room as well as in the loft area (where there are an assortment of boardgames and children's toys). There are plenty of restaurants in Duck if you wish to avoid cooking entirely during your stay, but the kitchen is stocked for your culinary activities including pots, pans, baking sheets, flatware, glasses, a toaster oven, microwave, coffee maker (bring your k-cups or ground) and dishes. We also have 500 mbps wireless internet to keep everyone connected to school or work.
Our home offers 1 queen bed (firm), 1 full bed (soft), 2 twins and 2 sets of bunks. All updated mattresses, quilts, and linens! It is best suited for small families or groups, but our beds offer flexible sleeping arrangements. Please note the top bunks are for young children only and not adult use.
Enjoy some peace and quiet on the top deck or chill out in the shade in the porch on the main level. In the front driveway is a basketball hoop and plenty of greenspace for tossing around a football. We do have two Weber charcoal kettle grills and picnic table available as well.
We love our dog and welcome your dogs too (pet fee extra of $150). Sorry, no kitties or any other animals since our children are highly allergic to felines. We do limit to a maximum of 2 well behaved pups and ask that you try to keep them off the beds and furniture. We want our guests to enjoy the lawn, so please also scoop the poop!
Duck is one of the best dog friendly beach towns in OBX. Dogs are even allowed unleashed on the beach year-round in Duck.
This home is strictly for NONSMOKERS (vaping is also not permitted). Up to $500 fines to pay for ozone cleaning.
There is also a washer and dryer on the ground floor. We also provide a beach buggy, a tent, a shade umbrella and an assortment of beach chairs.
Please let us know if you notice anything broken or missing.
Freshly laundered linens and towels are always provided!
Thank you for checking out our home. We hope to host you soon!

The Cozy Duck is a very charming place! There was enough space for us as a family of six with a dog. We absolutely loved the location, just 3 minutes down the road to get to the beach and Duck is also in easy walking distance. We had a great time!
We loved this house, especially the location. Everything was exactly as described, with a super short walk to the beach. My family had a wonderful week in Duck!
The property was great super clean and great for a larger group (we had 6 people). Location is perfect right next to the beach and minutes from Duck shops. Definitely recommend.

Thanks for a great review! We hope to host you again!
We had a wonderful week! The location of this property was just perfect. My daughters loved walking down the road to the beach every day - a short 2 minute walk!! We were able to check in earliwe than expected, which was a very nice surprise!
Overall impression was very good! Clean, great appliances, comfortable beds and furniture. Easy check in and easy check out. We would stay at the Cozy Duck again, but I would ask that the trees next to the decks be trimmed back. We had to duck to avoid the over hanging branches going up the steps to the entrance, which didn’t feel very welcoming. The interior of the house is lovely.
The Cozy Duck is a quaint little cottage in the most perfect location! So close to the beach and town. It was perfect for our family of 4 and could accommodate even more. This was our first visit to Duck and we would definitely return!!
Great quiet beach house just a super short walk from the beach
We had a wonderful time at the Cozy Duck! The house is very well stocked and on a very quiet street just a 2-minute walk from the beach. We had a wonderful time!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for being The Cozy Duck's 1st ever guests! You will always have a place in our hearts and a place to stay whenever you are down here in the OBX!
The Cozy Duck was a great place for our family for our twin teens' milestone birthdays/Mother's Day weekend. The location was GREAT for beach, shopping and dining. We would definitely stay again and recommend the cottage to other families.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Cozy Duck. It was very clean and comfortable, and has one of the best stocked kitchens of any beach house I’ve stayed at. Susan is a wonderful host and was very accommodating. We’ll definitely plan to return!

Thank you for your kind words! Hope to host you again!
Visited for 7 nights with my boyfriend and dog. Quick walk to the beach and short easy walk to Duck town center. the cottage was more than we needed in size and could easily accommodate two small families. My dog enjoyed relaxing on the porch as well as the dog friendly beach!

I am so glad you enjoyed staying at the cottage! We hope to host you again in the future!
The property was in a great location. We enjoyed walking to the duck shops and walking to the beach. The host was easy to communicate with and the property is well maintained. We were very comfortable.
The cottage is ideally located to the beach. And while ‘cozy’ there is plenty of room for each person to find a nook for themselves.The cottage is a throwback to the late’80s - early ‘90s, but totally functional.The boardwalk is within walking/biking distance, but not easily doable during our week.The house gave us what we needed for our heatwave week.

About the host
Hosted by Susan Jones
We are the Joneses from Virginia! We are a busy family of five, with 3 kiddos. We love the beach and love sharing the cottage with you!
Why they chose this property
The first time our family traveled to Duck, we fell in love with the town. We knew we wanted a small comfortable cottage for our family of five that was also within 3 minutes walk to the beach.
What makes this property unique
We love how quiet the street is and how the town of Duck is within biking or walking distance. Having three young kids, we knew that we wanted easy access to the beach, making it easy for any trips back to the house from the beach.
