Waterfront vacation rentals in Duck

Great quiet space and ideal location right next to Jockey’s Ridge that’s walkable to the Sound, would definitely stay here again!

This is a fantastic unit for a couple (or best friends!) retreat. The location is perfect - directly across the street from beach entrance, walking distance to great coffee shops, local ice cream, surf shops, brewery, food, convenience stores, and more! I liked the house was at the end of a cul-de-sac so no traffic on the street. The host is very friendly and responsive with great directions. Check in/out was hassle free. I will definitely be coming back for a long weekend getaway!

We spent this past week here for our honeymoon. Beautiful space, very clean, amazing view. Plenty of things to do in the area as well. Very clear check in and out instructions. We would definitely come back and stay again (maybe this time when it’s a little warmer and the pool is open)

Beautiful condo. We enjoyed our stay and will be booking again in the future. Host is always responsive in a timely fashion. Becky Revere, Hartfield, Va.

The home was clean and instructions were very easy to follow. Since we were looking for a peaceful location on this trip, it fit the bill. The view was worth the cost. We knew there would be others around, as it was described accurately and clearly as a condo community. Supplies were very sufficient for us, and the owners were responsive. Enjoyed this trip!

The view over the water from the deck was amazing on the non-rainy days! The place was easy to find after our first attempt (which was at night during the rain). The second bedroom was a bit small but since it was only needed for sleeping, it was ok. It was quiet and peaceful and the people we saw occasionally were very friendly. The location is great, equally spaced between downtown Manteo and Nags Head. We wish we could have spent more time there aside from the conference we were attending.

My partner and I spent a peaceful week in this cozy spot. Very clean and well equipped for cooking and relaxing :) We especially enjoyed hanging out on the dock by the water and eating meals in the screened-in outdoor space. The surrounding neighborhood was very friendly as well. Rob was an excellent host and addressed any and all inquiries in a timely manner. Would definitely stay here again if you're looking for a quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle of the more "quintessential" obx beach towns. Not a bad drive to Duck / Kitty Hawk either.

Beautiful sunsets from the balcony! My daughters loved having bunkbeds, we appreciated the pool towels, easy check-in, and little snacks. Thank you!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this lovely beach house! The inside of the home was very clean. This location is only a short walk to private sound and private beach access. They provide beach chairs, wagons, and umbrellas which were extremely useful for our trip. Emily was very responsive to any of our concerns and stayed in communication with us throughout our stay.

We had a great three night stay, my three adult children and I. The beach was surprisingly almost ours to ourselves. For an older traditional OBX house, it was well updated and very well appointed. The central floor plan is very open. I love it when you can be in the kitchen cooking while talking to everybody in the living area and those around the dinner table at the same time. Awesome view of the ocean off the back deck. We sat in the hot tub and still see the ocean. Im sometimes leary of hot tubs at the beach, a lot of times they are not well maintained. Danielle's was spotless and the water chemistry was perfect and safe. There was absolutely nothing we needed or any place where we needed to go that was not within a 5-minute drive. All of my family are fisherman. if you like to fish, there's not a better place to stay. getting from the house to the beach to surf fish takes less than a minute. we walked up to the OBX Pier several times to fish, probably less than a 5 minute walk.

This was our second year at Serene Retreat. It’s just such a wonderful place for young children to enjoy the beach. The fenced in yard is great for their outdoor play. We enjoy cooking in the fabulous kitchen and feasting at the table with a view. Better than any restaurant around! Thank you again.

We had such a great stay. The place had everything we needed, and the location was great- super close to everything but still nice and quiet at night. Definitely recommend staying here!”

My family came here for spring break and spent 4 nights at the house. The house was clean and inviting and my kids loved that they had the upstairs bedrooms to themselves. Dan was extremely responsive when I messaged him with questions and the hot tub was perfect due to the spotty weather we experienced. We had a great time!

We had a wonderful stay… the OBX is now our favorite vacations spot! Sounds Groovy was Awesome with wonderful and responsive hosts.

Wonderful views and easy access to the water. Good place with young children. (We had a toddler and a baby as part of our group.) The sitting area in the master suite was a great place to play board games and chat in the evenings without disturbing the little ones sleep. Great deck with sturdy chairs of the correct height to see the ocean over the railing. Lots of restaurants nearby and grocery stores and even a Target less than 2 miles away.

What a wonderful gem of a home! We love all the extra touches! The views and sunsets are amazing. The owners thought of everything. We enjoyed kayaking/paddle boarding (with the provided equipment) from the private pier as well as the use of the bikes. We loved our long morning walks and close proximity to the beach. Host was responsive and more than accommodating! We come to Duck/Corolla every year and have for over 20 years. We would absolutely stay in this house again! Thank you so much for everything.

The condo was very charming with new appointments and has a beautiful view of the ocean. We enjoyed sunrise each morning and the sound of the waves crashing each night. The kitchen was well equipped and had sufficient space for the two of us. It was also nice to have both a full and half bath as well as a door between the sink area and toilet/shower in the full bath. Having several options for coffee with espresso, drip, and a Keurig was a big plus A few observations we want to share. It would be very tight to fit 6 people in the place but you could comfortably have two couples or a couple with two kids with the second pair on the sleeper sofa. Overall it was a great stay for our anniversary weekend!!!

This condo was absolutely perfect! Beautifully renovated, spotless, and full of thoughtful touches. The ocean views from the living room and master bedroom were stunning, and the location—just steps from the beach and a short walk to Duck’s shops and restaurants—couldn’t be better. The kitchen was fully stocked and a joy to cook in, and the beds (with Kingsdown mattresses!) were incredibly comfortable. We loved the added amenities like sound machines, board games, a washer/dryer, and access to pools and a hot tub. Check-in was easy with keyless entry, and the host was responsive and welcoming. Every detail was considered to make our stay feel like home. Highly recommend for families, couples, or anyone looking for a relaxing Outer Banks getaway. We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful condo that is right on the water. The view from the balcony is worth staying at this condo. There is easy beach access and the condo is clean. It is the perfect size and location for a beach getaway. Gene is extremely friendly and responsive as well.

Our stay was Perfect! We enjoyed having the everything we needed right there! They make you feel right at home! The extra things like the beach chairs & neso tent was so perfect for our days at the beach. The pool was so clean! The entire house was so clean! We enjoyed being able to watch the Dolphins right from the observation deck! 🐬

Great location within steps to the beautiful Outer Banks beaches. Steve's place is comfortable, stylishly decorated, and so close to the ocean that you can fall asleep to the waves crashing upon the beach at night!

I really appreciated the communication I had with Dave as we definitely walked to the local grill next-door and had an amazing dinner! I thought it was a great location, could see the ocean and sunrises and public access to the beach was just a short walk! It was great. Thanks Dave!

Had a wonderful stay! Perfect for a small family. Katie was very easy to communicate with she answered all my questions in a timely manner. Will definitely be back.

This is a wonderful condo! Gorgeous views and very quiet. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back!
