Fun at Fun in the Sun!

The property was great. Plenty of room, nice furnishings, comfortable beds, and a very nice kitchen that was stocked well. We enjoyed the pool very much, and the walk to the beach was quick. The only issue I had was that the glass tables were not wiped down very well, and the counter behind the kitchen table was very dusty. Everything else was great. The owner is very kind and full of information about the area and we listened to his suggestions for dining out and were happy with those choices. We had a very enjoyable week at Fun in the Sun!

Dad's 80th birthday reunion

Our very large family loved everything about this large clean well maintained home. The 8 bedrooms were very spacious and each had it's own bathroom. There were nice extras like 2 ice machines, 3 refridgerators, fully carpeted, TV's in the rooms with DVD players, plenty of deck space with lots of chairs...I could go on and on. This was perfect. The location couldn't be any better. Walking distance to the beach, community center and to town with lots of stores, etc. We would definitely stay there again! The price is very fair! The rental place right down the street was great for bikes and kayaks. Bike paths are everywhere, definitely plenty to do even on rainy days.

Fun in The Sun is Perfect

If your looking for a place that has it all. Stop looking. Fun In The Sun is perfect. It has everything you need and more. It's a great place to gather with friends and family as it has plenty of space, tons of bathrooms ,pool, hot tub, TV, games and Wi-fi. They have thought of everything! The kitchen is s fully stocked with plenty of pots and pans for whatever you want to cook. Plus they offered two free standing ice maker,s which was awesome! We had plenty of ice for drinks and coolers and we weren't filling ice trays! The location is perfect in Duck as well. It is walking distance to restaurants, boutique shopping ,sports rentals and the duck town park. I loved riding my bike in the neighborhood and adjacent trails. The Schooner ridge amenities contribute to make this a well deserved five star rating with a ocean side pool, showers, and full recreation center which offers a indoor pool,game room and tennis courts. Our family had a great time and we definitely will be back. Mark was great to work with and we look forward to our return.

Best Vacation Ever

My family has been vacationing at the Outer Banks for at least a decade. We've stayed in multiple houses and, while each house has its unique features and charms, Fun in the Sun is by far the best property I've encountered. The house is exceptional, featuring many amenities and a prime location. Fun in the Sun is located in the Schooner Ridge neighborhood of Duck. That means that you are in the heart of Duck and a short bike ride or walk to the beach, the sound, shops, restaurants and the boardwalk. In addition, Schooner Ridge offers multiple amenities including an oceanfront outdoor pool and a community center with a gym, indoor and outdoor pool. The house itself is magnificent. Decks for days, a pool and hot tub, 8 incredible bedrooms, a wonderful kitchen and living area on the top floor plus a spacious living area on the bottom floor. In addition, the owner is incredibly gracious, ensuring that your visit meets/ exceeds your expectations. I took this trip with family and friends following a year of significant transitions and this was just what I needed. My guests were all equally impressed. I'm looking forward to staying at Fun in the Sun again. It was an incredible experience. Can't say enough good things. Thank you Mark!

Hi Mark & Kathy,Unfortuna...

Hi Mark & Kathy,Unfortunately my wife and I had to cut our terrific vacation one day short and leave on Friday night, 8/24 one day early. After the craziness of packing our things up I'm not certain anyone in our family remembered to sign your guest book during the week while we were vacationing in your lovely home from 8/18 to 8/25/07. “Fun in the Sun” was perfect for us. Your homes has it all… it was quiet, clean, only a very short walk to the beach; it’s so close to the community center and the walk down Schooner Ridge drive leaves you right in the heart of Duck proper. You have most accommodating accommodations, it seems like you thought of nearly everything. Your pool, hot tub, “super” decks and Tiki bar were wonderful, and that screened-in porch on the third floor was our late-night refuge. The sea breeze and the night stars were so incredibly relaxing that I thought about just sleeping there (the wife wouldn't have it, though). I have always booked our family vacation homes in Whalehead Beach, Corolla or Ocean Sands. Never again!!! We are now tried and true Duck converts. With a little luck we hope to get the family back together again next year for some more “Fun in the Sun”. Thank you so much for everything. Best Regards, Ryan and Candice Smith

Fun in the Sun Schooner Ridge

My large family, 11 adults and 7 children thoroughly enjoyed ourselves during our stay at Fun in the Sun!!! There is absolutely ample space with 8 bedrooms and 8 1/2 baths, with each room having it's own private bath. The short walk to the beach was very convenient and family members came and went as they pleased. This home has a pool and hot tub which were a huge hit with the kids and some of the adults. We took advantage of the sand volleyball court on a couple nights while there with 12 or 13 of us playing. Even attracted one of the neighbors children while playing. Some of the adults and all the kids also enjoyed the basketball hoop on the large driveway Duck is a wonderful vacation town with many places to eat and stores to shop, all within walking distance of Fun in the Sun. I think my car moved twice during our week long stay. Mark and Kathy, the owners, are beyond excellent hosts. Mark and was hands on with support. We spoke several times via text or by phone over the course of the week. He was sincere with wanting to know if we needed anything and answering any questions we had. If all hosts were this concerned not only about their property, but about their guests, your vacations would be more fun than they are. Can't say enough good things about our hosts. When we have need for such a large house on the Outer Banks again, Mark and Kathy with Fun in the Sun, will be our first call.

Great spot in Duck

What a great property in Duck, a short walk or bike ride to the beach or town, with a great volleyball court, pool and massive deck! The pictures don’t do this property justice, upgraded TVs, new super comfortable beds and never ending amenities! Mark was excellent, with quick and very useful information about Duck and the property. This property and its owners truly are great!

Absolutely Wonderful, 5 STARS

House is beautiful, & the kitchen is absolutely stocked with things you wouldn't even think of. You definitely wouldn't need to pack anything unless you have favorites of your own. The house has 2 high chairs (1 sits on a chair, the other attaches to the counter), a playpen, multiples of some kitchen household items. We didn't have any issue with the beds or the house. Mark is wonderful & will answer any/all your questions you may have before & during your stay. You can walk to the beach if you wanted or you can park closer at a designated area. We loved our stay & would absolutely do it again! Thank you Mark!! 😁🏖

Great Owner!

House was well appointed and Mark was great.. Hands down one of the most communicative and easiest owners to work with that I've seen.

Perfect for large family

Fun In The Sun property was perfect for our large family vacation. The neighborhood was extremely quiet with the community center and beach access within walking distance. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for all. We spent every evening on the decks or in the screened porch while the kids enjoyed the swimming pool and hot tub. The kitchen was beautiful and extremely complete (even a crockpot)! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

I've had an amazing time staying at this house. We were close to the beach and we had easy access to different shops and restaurants. The house was clean when we got there too. Nothing was broken or disfuncational. I will definitely come again.

We designed our beach home, Fun in the Sun, with family in mind.

The home features a large pool, relaxing hot tub, and an incredible screened-in porch on the third floor that quickly became our favorite late-night retreat. The sea breeze and starry skies are so peaceful, I even considered sleeping under the stars on the private upper-level deck, perfect for stargazing.

After exploring many neighborhoods in Duck and the wider OBX area, we knew Schooner Ridge was the perfect spot.
