Duck, NC: The OBX Hub for Water Sports, Shopping, and Dining
The small town of Duck has quite a large list of things to do! Water sports are in high demand here and are very accessible from the Currituck Sound! The three main businesses of Nor' Banks, Kitty Hawk Kites, and Duck Parasail sell equipment and tours for a variety of water sports, including jet-skiing, sailing, parasailing, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and more. When it's a nice day in Duck, out on the water is where you want to be!

But what are you supposed to do if you're vacationing in Duck and it rains? This small, local OBX town has you covered with a variety of dining and shopping options! You can try a famous “Chef's Board” from Chef Wes Stepp in his one-of-kind fine dining experience at NC Coast Bar & Grill. For a sweet treat, don't forget to stop in Duck Donuts -- an Outer Banks must-try with multiple locations, but the name comes from the original location in Duck!

Check out the half-mile strip of independently-owned Duck boutiques! You won't find any chains here, but you'll stumble across some of the coolest, unique styles and designs of the Outer Banks. Just make sure to let your jealous friends know they can only be found in Duck, before they spend hours on a fruitless Google search for your one-of-a-kind treasures! Some can't-miss shops include Carilpoha Bamboo, a Caribbean-style fabric store with threads made from bamboo, and Carolina Moon, a beautiful vintage clothing and jewelry shop.

If you're staying in Duck, you're guaranteed to have a good time, rain or shine!

Enjoyable

We met several neighbors, very helpful and friendly. Renting bikes was a big plus! Getting to and from the beach was easy. The neighborhood was mostly quiet. The house was the perfect size and accommodations we were looking for. We’d definitely book this house again!

Great for obx on a budget

We normally stay at a higher end place for a week but this year we downgraded the house for the luxury of staying two weeks. The place has some warts but the location was good and we’re grateful for an option that enabled us to stay in our favorite vacation spot for twice as long.

Great house

The house was great. The tv system (Roku)was horrible. No instructions were left and we did not get to watch hardly anything. I would rent again but not with that tv.

Hi Cheryl, Thank you for letting us know about the tv. I will let our maintenance department be aware and seeing if it is an easy fix. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and the home. We hope you have you all come back! Thank you, Your Friends of Seaside

Just Ducky

The house is a nice little house with some aged decks but a nice view. Showed up and the house was never cleaned form the previous tenant. Unfortunately you can't get into the house until 5pm, the same time SeaSide Vacations office closes, no answer on the phone. We went out and bought all of our own cleaning supplies and spent 2 hours cleaning the house, not a great start to vacation. The next morning the office was called and the cleaners were sent over, but we refused as we had already cleaned the house and unpacked. Seaside did send over more sheets and clean towels. They also offered us a late checkout for free. Small peanuts in the grand scheme. The location is nice and everyone is dog friendly. Would stay again, but not with SeaSide vacation rental.
