About this property
OCEANFRONT@ The Lucky Duck- 100% renovated, clean, cozy & well-appointed.
Our place is a super bright, incredibly clean, excellently appointed oceanfront condo with a view you are sure to love! Literally, a 2 minute walk to the beach! This new rental property will be your "go-to" favorite annual trip location. We really wanted to make sure everyone enjoys our special place as much as we do! Enjoy lazy days on the beach and at the pool, drinks on the deck, and exploring the quaint town of Duck. And BYOC (bring your own charcoal) for a nightly cook out in the courtyard area. So much FUN! We know you'll love Colony by the Sea (CBTS) as much as we do. It's a true gem in the Outer Banks! Ours is a first floor, end unit: no elevator, 2 short flights of stairs (building on pilings). We love to cook and entertain so we have a well-stocked kitchen, including basic spices, EVOO, balsamic vinegar and just about every utensil and baking/cooking tool we could think of. BRING YOUR OWN: paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, towels (bath/beach/dish), sheets, pillows, and blankets. There is a coin laundry room for $2 per load (same for wash or dry) under the building if needed (it is kept very clean). TV sets in living room and bedroom with basic cable and streaming capability.

The perfect place to spend a couple of days away. The view from the deck was fantastic, the condo was immaculate. We really appreciated how well stocked and organized everything is, even down to the blue folder with all of the information we could ever need! Communication was fantastic, we will definitely be staying here again. Thank you for your hospitality!

Thank you for the high praise! You were a joy to host and we hope you’ll visit again.
There are not enough superlatives to describe our weekend stay at the Lucky Duck! The condo was immaculate, very cozy, perfectly appointed, and Tracey and Dave were consummate hosts. It was our anniversary and they treated us like royalty…. but I’m sure they make all of their guests feel that way. We are already planning our next visit. What are you waiting for…. book a stay at the Lucky Duck!! You will be very glad you did.

The Lucky Duck is clean, comfortable and conveniently located for walks on the beach, boardwalk and into town. The beach is beautiful and was relatively uncrowded the week we went. We had great weather and enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed our stay in this clean and well-appointed beach condo. We could see the ocean from the deck and walk to town in 15 minutes.

Thank you so much! You all were wonderful guests. And so cool Sparky visited you on the deck! He is the best kitty ever! Come back anytime. Have a great summer.
My wife and I had a lovely time in Duck and your place was perfect for us. We used the well-stocked kitchen for a few great dinners (fresh fish!). We also enjoyed happy hour on the deck with the ever changing coastal colors. Very convenient to the beach for long walks and close to Duck village. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for including The Lucky Duck in your travel plan! We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay, and we hope you make it back for a future visit and more exploration and relaxation.
Tracey was wonderful to communicate with. She graciously allowed us an early check-in as we were traveling with our one year old. The condo, beach, and pool were magnificent. The kitchen was extremely well appointed with pots, pans, knives, dishes, tupperware that were actually enjoyable to cook with and use. It felt like staying in a well taken care of home, not a rental unit. It would be a no brainer for us to stay here again if we return to OBX in the future.
Really enjoyed our stay at the property. It was just where we wanted to be. Good accommodations. Very nice amenities in the condo. Would definitely stay again.

Short and sweet and to the point! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us and others considering a stay at The Lucky Duck! Come back anytime!
We had a fantastic stay at this beachfront condo in Duck, NC. The location is unbeatable and there is direct beach access just steps away. The condo itself was well-maintained and clean, making it a comfortable home base for our vacation. The kitchen was a standout—exceptionally organized, with everything neatly arranged and well-stocked with all the essentials, from cookware to utensils, making meal prep a breeze. The place is exactly as described by the owners and photographs are accurate. Overall, this condo met our expectations, blending coastal charm with practical amenities for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Highly recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Tracey & David Naghshineh
We are Tracey & David Naghshineh. We were both born and raised in Northern VA, but moved to NC in 2006. We have always loved the Outer Banks, Duck & Colony by the Sea (CBTS) specifically, and have spent over 25 years making memories here with our two sons, and various combinations of family and friends. Some longtime VA friends of ours purchased a CBTS condo (104A two doors down) in 2013 and we finally decided it was time for us to do the same. We could not be happier with our decision. We are so excited and can't wait to continue making memories here! And we can't wait for YOU to make memories here too!!!
Why they chose this property
We purchased our condo from a lovely, original CBTS owner. She was moving on to her next chapter, and so were we! We completely renovated and refreshed this property. Everything is new: windows, sliding door, kitchen, stove, dishwasher, cabinets, showers, vanities, toilets, floors, front door, furniture, and paint! Lots of planning and sweat equity, but the finished condo is truly amazing. And we hope our guests will enjoy it as much as we do! It's a very special place to us, and we want everyone to feel at home.
Important note: WE DO NOT ALLOW GUESTS TO BRING PETS OF ANY KIND, even service animals. We feel this is the best way to ensure our property and the furnishings/contents stay in the best condition possible. So, please, leave your pets at home. We take this rule very seriously, and will be notified if there is a pet in our condo. This will lead to your vacation being cut short, without a refund. And no one wants all that drama while on vacation.
Full disclosure: We do love dogs and have 2 ourselves, and they will sometimes be at the condo with us, but they do NOT get on the furniture or sleep in the bed with us, even at our home. They stay on the floor and in their own doggie beds. I just wanted to disclose that should anyone have serious allergies and need to know.
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with this condo and knew its potential from the start. It is a first floor, end unit with a large, extra window in the kitchen that lets in lots of natural light. There is a view of the CBTS swimming pool from the deck, perfect for watching the kids. You can get down on the beach in literally 2 minutes, and the outdoor grill area is right next to our unit. Since it's on the end, it's also out of the regular stairway "traffic pattern" for the other guests staying in building A. It's tucked away at the end on its own. And you can even see your parked car from outside the front door.
