It would be hard to find a better location in the Village of Duck than DuckAway. This home is located between the beach and the village, with a short walk to the beach on one side and a short walk to the center of town on the other side. It is the perfect place to enjoy a fun and relaxing vacation with the family and the dog while having a variety of options for activities. DuckAway boasts a lagoon-style swimming pool, a large hot tub, a spacious house with many amenities, a wonderful beach, and the fun Town of Duck with shops, restaurants, soundfront boardwalk, park, and other activities.

Our favorite of the 4 houses we've stayed in during the past 30 years at Duck. The location is handy to beach and shopping.

Wonderful location quick walk to beach and shops. We like the location most about this house. It could use some updating, but overall we were pleased. The kitchen had everything we needed. All beds and furniture were comfy.

Great house! This is the 3rd time we rented this house. We love the proximity to the beach as well as the boardwalk. Very comfortable and enough space for our family. Does need a little sprucing up in the kitchen and living room, the most used areas but the kitchen is well equipped for our cooking needs. Beds are adequate for comfort. The house is well equipped for a week or two stay.

Very nice house. The home was nicely furnished and we felt right at home. Nice grounds and the owners should be commended for the large number of games books puzzles etc. We enjoyed eating on the deck and enjoyed the gas grill. Pool and hot tub were used and enjoyed (nice and clean). Nice outdoor and indoor showers. Beds were comfortable and sufficient bathrooms.

Lovely place to "Duckaway"

Duckaway was a lovely home for our family of 5 and four-legged friend to spend some much need family time together. The home is thoughtfully outfitted with the best stocked kitchen books games beach chairs beach wagon comfortable beds and nice views from the upper deck. The heated pool and hot tub were enjoyed by all. The owners have thought of everything to include dog tags for the vacationing pup. We loved our time in this immaculate home and highly recommend it. While the home isn't as "glitzy" as some we actually felt as if we were staying in someone's home and not a high turn-over rental. It was lovely. Only "con" that I can think of is that for elderly or littles the beach distance is a bit further than expected but can be remedied with a quick 5 second drive to drop off at the cul-de-sac. Oh ya - and the beach - it's perfection. Highly recommend this wonderful centrally located home.

Perfect Duck Getaway

Duckaway is a beautiful home that has been lovingly taken care of by its owners! It had the perfect layout for our family was immaculately clean kitchen was well equipped game room had tons of games to keep us occupied on a rainy day heated pool (with nice privacy fence) was a huge plus for swimming at the end of September/beginning of October hot tub was great for relaxing loved laying in the hammock for an afternoon nap & the massive deck on two levels had plenty of seating. The gated deck made it possible for us to let our poochie outside safely. The location was also amazing because we only had to walk three blocks to get to the beach & about four blocks to the center of town. Loved being able to walk to Duck Donuts & to do some shopping without moving our car! We loved it so much we cancelled next year’s reservation (July 2021) for another property so we could stay at Duckaway again for another week in August 2021! Only downside was seeing a few creepy crawlers (waterbugs) in the home but that’s to be expected in Autumn when temps start to drop outside. Called Sun Realty & the response time for the exterminator was impressive (under 2 hours)! BOTTOM LINE IS STAY HERE & YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! Wished we could have stayed longer!

Fabulous Family Retreat

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our week at Duckaway! The property was clean and the kitchen was very well-equip. There was an ample amount of deck/pool furniture. The pool and hot tub are well maintained and our family enjoyed the evening swims. The beds were comfortable and the rooms are of good size. Only one bedroom does not have deck access but there is door to the deck right outside the bedroom. Its just a short walk to the beach and to the town boardwalk and shops. Although we did bring our own beach chairs and buggy the homeowners do provide a beach wagon and lots of beach chairs! There is a walkway to the beach that has stairs so you will need to either carry the wagon down the stairs or lock it at the walkway. The front loading washer does still have a strong odor and the outside grills had not been cleaned. We are looking forward to our next OBX vacation!
