Fantastic Rental

After renting in Duck for years and through various rental companies, we've found this property to be exceptional. The home was clean and well-maintained upon arrival, and it's fully equipped with kitchen essentials. The Sun Reality staff was incredibly helpful throughout the booking process and our stay. The maintenance man, Ken, was very personable and accommodating.This oceanfront property is one of the best we've experienced, offering numerous amenities (e.g., laundry hampers, well organized and plentiful Tupperware drawer) and thoughtful touches... Not to mention comfortable and stylish decor and furnishings. The owners clearly care about the space and its upkeep. We stayed for two weeks and hope to return annually.

Great house! Well appointed and cozy! Convenient to waterfront shops, but sheltered from duck road and right on the beach. Beds were great! Kitchen was perfect for big family meals!

Close to Duck shops. We loved the place! Beds are very comfy and the kitchen was great. The outdoor grill is dated and could use an upgrade. Pool and hot tub are great too!

Perfect location! My mom, 88, could enjoy the beach without having to navigate the steps. The top deck with the overhang allows us to sit and enjoy the ocean during the day. I called and made some requests the week before we came in and they were fulfilled when we arrived.

Perfect location, easy bike ride into town as well as ease of getting to the beach. The house was great for my family of my two sons with their wives and children making this our annual family get together. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. I do suggest the addition of a griddle for making pancakes, would be a nice touch. The beds, and set up of all the bedrooms was comfortable and beautifully designed. My one son who has back issues commented on his bed being more comfortable that his bed at home. One of the highlights of this vacation house is the upstairs living area. The living area with comfortable couch for lounging and large screen tv with lots of games as well as the wet bar complete with ice maker and wine refrigerator exceeded our expectations and was well used. We enjoyed all parts of the house. Everything was perfect for both relaxation and socializing with family. We have already reserved the house for July 2024!

This house was very well equipped. Love the kitchen. Easily accommodate multiple cooks at the same time. Bedrooms comfortable. Loved the movie room right next to kitchen. Children could settle in for quiet time in the afternoon with adults near by. Huge couches are great for snuggling up for a movie. House and property were spectacular!
