About this property

Where the green trees meet the blue seas! Short walk to the beach & pet friendly

This cheerful Duck cottage is an easy 6 minute walk to our well maintained neighborhood beach. Located on a private tree lined lot, our cottage is surrounded by all things nature. It’s the perfect place to relax and watch birds or to enjoy the sunshine on one of the decks. The upper level living room is filled with natural light and large windows making it a great place for entertaining. The screened in porch is a comfortable place to enjoy your favorite evening beach beverage or coffee in the morning. The lower level features 3 bedrooms and a sitting room. The master bedroom has a king sized bed, private bathroom and access to the back deck. The 2nd bedroom features a queen size bed with access to the back deck as well. The 3rd bedroom offers a twin over full bunk bed. If the beach isn’t enough to entertain you, we have flat screen TVs located in the main living room and sitting room. We also offer free WIFI, games, bikes, corn hole, carts, dog beds/bowls, a bbq and much more! Please take care of our home and we’ll take care of you! Come see all that Duck has to offer!
Cheers to making a lifetime of memories with family and friends.
Your gracious hostesses,
Carri and Jessica

Excellent stay in Outer Banks
We had a wonderful time in the Outer Banks and really enjoyed Carri's house. The booking and follow up were easy as the owner is very responsive and helpful. The house is very comfortable in a great location. It has a well stocked kitchen so cooking is a breeze. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

a week of quiet
We enjoyed a week of quiet days in Duck--walking on deserted beaches, eating sea food and generally taking it easy. Very enjoyable and a well maintained and cosy house.

Sanctuary with our dogs
We enjoyed this spacious beach retreat with our 2 dogs. I met up with 2 longtime friends for a week of beach relaxation and chance for us to catch up. It was a bonus to be able to bring our pets instead of having to board them. The place was clean and very spacious with more decks and outdoor space than we ever could have asked for.

Best Beach Vacation Ever!
My husband and our two dogs spent a week at Carri’s lovely home! It was our best beach vacation ever! The weather was perfect, the house was perfect & the short walk to the beach was easy! The house had everything that we needed & the kitchen was well-stocked with everything I needed to cook for the week.

Awesome Thanksgiving getaway
My brother met up with my husband and me (and our dogs) at this gorgeous, spacious house for the Thanksgiving weekend. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a full Thanksgiving meal, and they even put out the holiday placemats for us. The house had enough room for us to spread out, we were minutes from the beach (took us a second to figure out the way…nature trails wee a bit confounding), and ten minutes from the Duck town center for donuts and shopping. It was a fantastic, lazy, blustery beach filled weekend with 80’s movies on tv and good wine. Carri is a terrific host.

A perfect relaxing weekend
A couple of childhood friends, now in our 50s, just wanted to spend some time catching up. The house was perfect, more than enough room for the two of us, near the beach while still tucked away in the trees. We were close to the beach as well as a number of nature preserves. We had a wonderful, relaxing time.

Lovely, quiet place near the beach
Really happy with this location. In a very quiet cul de sac with trees that provided nice shade. Plenty of room in the house with nice sized bedrooms and open plan living/kitchen area. Kitchen was well stocked with necessities. Comfortable lounge area with large tv. Easy walk to the beach (once you know the shortcut) and I liked that it was near a more private beach so not as busy as nearby beaches in Kitty Hawk or Kill Devil Hills. The nearest beach access bridge was closed but easy enough to find the next one over. Only complaint is that a lot of the lights inside weren’t working either because bulbs missing or were burnt out. Also lots of cobwebs inside the house that could use some cleaning. Overall great place but slightly overpriced for what you get.

Excellent place to unwind
Property was well maintained and had all the amenities to make a stay uncomplicated. There were many extras around that we weren't expecting and didn't have to use ex- toothbrushes, dog cage...ask Carrie, i bet what you need is around somewhere. 6 minute walk to the beach is thoroughly enjoyable. Saw a doe on the nature trail! Will definitely stay again.

Wonderful quiet and secluded place close to the beach
We stayed in Aug 2023 with our family and dog. The house was exactly what we were looking for. House was well furnished, had plenty of amenities to keep us busy when we had down time. Walk to the beach was easy thanks to all of the nature trails. Everything about the vacation was great

Peaceful
The house is surrounded by live oak trees, feels like you’re in a treehouse. The house was very clean and comfortable. You really feel at home. The house really provides that at home feeling. It was a close up to the beach, and my dogs love the nature trails throughout the community. We will definitely come back again. Thank you for sharing you home with us. L.Delaney

Spring Break Trip
The house is perfect for a family. In a quiet neighborhood but only a few minute walk to the beach. House is fully equipped with beach chairs, bikes, games and puzzles. Owners are clearly dog lovers which was a huge perk for us.
