Idyllic Oceanside Cottage in Duck Nestled in the quiet, tree-lined Port Trinitie neighborhood of Duck, between the sound and the sea, you'll find this beautiful 4-Bedroom, 3-Bathroom oceanside home that is sure to delight. This home is tucked just off the main road that winds through the town of Duck, offering vacationers plenty of privacy coupled with easy access to everything you'll need during your vacation, including the beach! Enjoy a quick 5-minute walk to the water or a dip in the warm, bubbly Hot Tub out on the Furnished Sun Deck before taking advantage of the wonderful amenities that come with staying in Port Trinitie including the nearby tennis courts or the community swimming pools. With a stay at The Grateful Duck, you can't go wrong!
On the Ground Level, rinse off in the Outdoor Shower after a day at the beach. Get some sleep in the privacy of the ground level in the tastefully-decorated Queen Bedroom or Bedroom with 2 Twins on this level. A Shared Full Bathroom completes the floor.
Upstairs on the Middle Level, enjoy family movie night or evening conversation cuddled up on the cozy furniture in the Living Area which has plenty of natural light that filters in through the glass sliders out onto the Furnished Sun Deck and plentiful windows. Impress the family out on the Gas Grill or in the modern Kitchen where you can whip up some delicious fresh, local NC seafood to enjoy in the Dining Area, at the Breakfast Bar, or out on the covered portion of the Deck with a picnic table.
Head upstairs to the Top Level which has a Pyramid Bunk room for the kiddos as well as the Laundry and a Full Bathroom. Take the steps up to the Loft Area where you'll find the privacy of the King Master Bedroom with a Jacuzzi Tub and access to a Private Deck Area where you can relax with a cup of coffee in the morning or find some peace and quiet as you watch the stars appear in the brilliant blue sky of an Outer Banks evening.
If you think Grateful Duck's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean is its main attraction, you haven't seen the spectacular sunsets that take place over the nearby Currituck Sound. The Port Trinitie neighborhood features a community dock and gazebo on the nearby shoreline of the sound, where you can capture some of the most stunning sunsets on the entire Outer Banks. Here you'll also find a launch site for kayaks, so you can journey out into the shallow waters of the sound for an afternoon of scenic adventure and a little peace and quiet during your stay.
Hit the bubbly Hot Tub for some rest and relaxation after spending the day surfing, kayaking, or standup paddleboarding. Or, grab a glass of wine and some great company, and have a seat on one of Grateful Duck's spacious decks, which boast privacy from the neighbors and serve as an excellent spot to watch the sun sink slowly into the still waters of the sound as evening falls. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better view of the thousands of stars that dot the sky than the one from the deck of this one-of-a-kind rental.
If you're looking for a little more action during your escape to the beach, hit the community tennis courts, which are just around the corner from Grateful Duck. Or take a dip in one of the community's two swimming pools—one on the ocean side of the island and one on the sound side—where you can cool off after time spent lounging on the sandy beaches or splashing in the surf. This vacation rental home also offers a basketball goal on the property for family and friends who want to engage in a little friendly competition during their stay, as well as an Xbox game system.
A Short Drive to Dozens of Restaurants and Attractions In addition to its prime location just a short walk down the street from the pristine beaches of the Outer Banks, The Grateful Duck is also conveniently located just a 6-minute drive from downtown Duck. Known for being one of the most family-friendly spots on the entire Outer Banks, this charming coastal community is home to a wide array of delicious dining establishments, unique boutiques and retail shops, and water sport rental companies—as well as an 11-acre park complete with nature trails, kayak launches, a picnic shelter, a playground and an amphitheater where dozens of outdoor family-friendly events and activities are held throughout the year.
Downtown Duck also features the popular Duck Town Boardwalk, which runs along the edge of the waters of the Currituck Sound. This mile-long wooden boardwalk connects to an assortment of waterfront shops and restaurants, and it also offers spectacular views of the shallow waterway that separates the island from the North Carolina mainland to the west. Stop by the boardwalk in the early evening to capture an incredible display of colors in the sky as the sun sinks into the sound at sunset. There's no better place in Duck to witness a better view! With its amazing location just steps from the seashore, its assortment of on-site amenities, and its close proximity to dozens of Outer Banks restaurants and attractions, you can't go wrong when you choose The Grateful Duck for your next escape to the barrier islands.
