BookSmart Properties presents: Fade Away Cay! This serene retreat, nestled in a quiet seaside neighborhood, accommodates up to 12 guests with sleeping options on all levels. Enjoy a stocked kitchen, bright living area, multiple bedrooms, game room, private heated pool (for a fee), and hot tub. Just a short walk to the beach and within biking distance to both Duck Village and the Sanderling, this home offers a peaceful stay with easy access to nearby dining, shopping, and activities.

The Space:
Welcome to Fade Away Cay, a spacious retreat in Duck that perfectly blends comfort, entertainment, and convenience for families or groups up to 12 guests. From the beautiful outdoor amenities like the heated pool & screened in porch to the well appointed interior, you will love your time in this home.

Starting from the top level, you will enjoy the bright and airy coastal atmosphere. Beach decor perfectly sets the ambience for a relaxing stay. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything that the chef in your family needs to whip up delicious meals, and the dining room offers space to enjoy them together. Relax in the living room with a good book or movie, and then head to bed in the master king suite that rounds out this level.

On the mid-level, you'll find a king bedroom, a cozy queen room, a bedroom with two twin beds, and a den with a pull-out sofa, creating versatile sleeping options for everyone. There is also laundry conveniently located on this level.

Downstairs, the fun really begins with a fully equipped game room featuring a foosball table, Wii console, and TV setup—perfect for movie nights or friendly tournaments. This level also offers an additional pull-out sofa bed, extending your sleeping options even further.

Step outside to enjoy stunning views of the sound from the crow’s nest, enjoy the fresh air in the shade with new screened porch, and dip into the fenced-in pool, (pool heat available by advance request for a fee of $75/night or $500/week). Unwind in the hot tub, fire up the propane grill for family cookouts, and make the most of the outdoor games and beach gear (available based on condition).

Great place to stay for a trip to the beach. Although the walk to the beach was not that long, the golf cart was a great benefit. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the stay and would do it again.

Wonderful stay between ocean and sound

Our family had a great time during our fall getaway. We loved the heated pool and hot tub on cool nights, star gazing from the rooftop deck, and taking the golf cart to the beach. The home is immaculate. The layout and all the deck space were great for spreading out. We had amazing experiences at both Jockey's Ridge and the lighthouse in Corolla and enjoyed eating and shopping at the Duck boardwalk.
