About this property

The Spice Rack | Pet-Friendly, Hot Tub, Community Indoor Pool/Tennis | Duck

New for 2025: New Adirondack chairs and porch swing. Private pool (15' x 25') coming soon! Installation begins in April and is scheduled to be completed by June.

The Spice Rack is a charming coastal cottage nestled in the tranquil North Point neighborhood of Duck, where both the ocean and sound are a short stroll away. The bright yellow exterior puts a smile on your face, and freshly updated coastal décor welcomes you inside. The spacious kitchen and dining area, featuring tile floors and granite countertops, make a great space for family meals. Multilevel decks provide plenty of space to relax outdoors, whether you're soaking up the sun or enjoying the breeze with a morning coffee. Cozy and comfortable bedrooms ensure restful nights for every member of the family, including dogs.

The outdoor spaces at The Spice Rack make it a true retreat. A covered hot tub lets you unwind in any weather, while the home's proximity to the community center means the heated indoor pool, tennis courts, and other amenities are right next door. Whether you're lounging on the deck, walking to the private beach access, or heading across the street to the soundfront pier, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Located in quiet north Duck, North Point offers a retreat from the town's hustle and bustle. The sea-to-sound setup ensures easy access to both the ocean and sound, while Duck's walking and biking trail makes it easy to explore the area's shops and restaurants. The 100' soundfront pier is great for crabbing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, or just relaxing and watching the sunset. The great amenities in a wonderfully serene location make this inviting beach house an ideal destination for your next Outer Banks vacation.

Memorable stay at the Spice Rack

Stayed at OBX for the long weekend on Labor day with family and friends. The Spice Rack was a great house to spend our time. Just a few minutes walk to the beach and house was very comfortable. Decent size rooms with King, Queen sized beds and comfortable mattresses. Located right next to tennis courts and indoor pool which the kids enjoyed. Had a really great time.

Spice Rack

We had a great time and house was as expected. We were all comfortable and it had plenty of room. I only gave 4 stars for location because when I booked it, the "location" appeared closer to the beach but it was actually the last house on the street away from the beach. I would have preferred closer to the beach since we had little ones. One thing I did not like was that there were 2 ant traps and a bunch of dead ants on the kitchen window sill and in the sink. I realize it is the beach and there are bugs but not really the first thing I want to see when checking in. No big deal for us however. We just cleared it away. Overall, a great house and a great trip.

Nice house and good location but a few things need fixed.

We liked the house location and the pool next door was great. But the one bedroom was missing a tv (online when we booked there was one pictured) The bedroom upstairs tv did not work at all and the tv in the living room didn’t get normal stations. The tv right inside the door didn’t work either. The toilet in the bedroom next to the bunk bed room moves and does not alway shut off. The drain was very slow in the bunk bed room bathroom. There is a trash can under the main steps near the hot tub that has no lid and there is was trash in it when we arrived. The dishwasher had a load of dish in it. There is some nails sticking up on the deck and some of the deck steps and a piece of the railing is hanging down on the side of the house towards the pool. The fridge had a red light on saying it needs a new filter and some of the door shelves are cracked. We just didn’t put anything in them. There was dust under the beds and tv stands and cob webs in several corners. Overall it is a very nice house but these things should be fixed.

A great family vacation place

We stayed the week with my adult children and two grandchildren. The place was perfect. Well take care of and clean. The kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking pans and tools. The beach was a few blocks away and close enough to walk. We enjoyed the pool right next door in the evenings. Duck is a great town to visit. Highly recommend.
