Welcome to Afterdune Delight (formerly Quackin' Up), a well-cared-for, five bedroom beach house in the community of Duck Ridge Shores right in the heart of Duck, NC. With the beach access being a mere 200 yards away and Duck Rd less than a 1/2 a mile, this house is the perfect location. Want to go kayaking in the sound? No problem! The neighborhood provides access to launch kayaks and SUPs. The home is very well laid out over three levels so no one feels like they're on top of one another. Five bedrooms and 3 full baths plus an outdoor shower. Enjoy the private pool or relax in the hot tub. Bring your bikes and enjoy an easy bike ride to the shops, restaurants, and the Duck boardwalk. A pet-friendly home for well behaved dogs, Afterdune Delight is the perfect spot for the family dog to enjoy beach time as well. (One dog maximum)

There's nothing like watching a colorful sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean from the large decks boasting ocean views. There's plenty of room for sunbathing and enjoying sea breezes both on the decks and by the pool. All decks are gated - perfect for little ones and to keep your fur-babies from exploring too far!

Relaxed beach getaway

We loved our stay at Suzanne’s beach home. The house is perfectly located for easy walking access to the beach and town. The kids loved the loft and the pool. The outdoor shower was perfect for a rinse-off after pool or beach. Quite relaxing and enjoyable!

We would stay again! The location was great-owners were very easy to communicate with when needed. I will say, the cleaning people could do a better job. But the isn’t a reflection of the owners or the house.

Joy

My daughter and I loved the house. It allowed our family to get together as a large group, with enough smaller spaces if some need to just have less activity. We were within walking distance to beach, sound, and shopping. On 07/04, fireworks were visible from Kill Devil Hills to Duck. Owner had labeled kitchen, book rack with local dining, copy of house operational items, like TVs, pool, hot tub, outdoor shower, and grill. After 5 of family went back to their locations, the 9 staying here slept soundly. We want to go back.

Outside wood of deck in need of refurbishing / replacing . Bedroom floor bath sink drain not working . Lower level queen bed mattress needs replacing .

Outstanding OBX Stay

Great location (near but not too near attractions and restaurants) only a 1/4 mile from the beach. We watched a sunrise every day and enjoyed using the well resourced kitchen. Tons of space. Pool and hot tub were great to hang out in the evening. Beach furniture and wagon also came in handy!

Great Stay

Very clean property. The Host was extremely responsive, responding within an hour to any questions. This property is only a 5 to 8 minute walk to the beach and about a 15 minute walk to restaurants and shops. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you need and then some. The pool was clean and well maintained and the hot tub worked great. Plenty of room for larger families. Lots of new décor in the property with several TVs. Wi-Fi was fast enough for several users with no lag. Duck, NC is a great location with plenty to do from going to the beach, eating at some nice restaurants, getting super fresh seafood to cook up, renting fishing charters, going to the Wright Brothers National Park, and it is close to Corolla, NC where you can view the wild horses. We would stay at this property again.

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Elms

Host profile image
We are the Elms family and we live just a few hours north west in Richmond VA with our 14 year old son and 12 year old daughter. Suzanne grew up in Va Beach VA and has always loved and missed the beach. So when the opportunity presented itself, we took the plunge and finally a dream has come true of owning our own beach house...a house that we are happy to share with other families to create memories to last a lifetime. Hope you all enjoy your time here and fall in love with Duck like we have. Greg and Suzanne Elms

Why they chose this property

We have vacationed in Duck for several years with other friends and we just love the low key, quieter, family feel of the area. Each of the other neighborhoods in OBX has its own draw but Duck has become our favorite. This house is perfectly located in that you can literally walk to the beach OR to downtown Duck in minutes. Wee Winks Market and Deli, Blue Point restaurant and the ABC store are all a half mile away or less! We also own a house at Lake Anna (VRBO.com/510981) and have managed it ourselves since 2013. Check out our many 5 star reviews!

What makes this property unique

Nice quiet street that dead ends at the ocean front so no through traffic, lovely pool, picnic and hot tub area. Five bedrooms are well laid out so that everyone has there space. 3 full bathrooms plus an outdoor shower.
