Wonderful stay!

The property was pristine and extremely well-equipped, with so many thoughtful touches. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and the walk to the beach felt very doable. We had a great time.

Perfect getaway

We loved the Sugar Shack! It’s close to shopping and restaurants. The walk to the beach is a short easy one. The house is clean with beautiful decor and the owner went above and beyond to make our stay a wonderful one!

We had a great time at the Sugar Shack! The size was perfect for our family (2 adults, 2 kids under 3). The walk to the beach is about 3-5 minutes, not bad at all. The drive to the heart of Duck is a quick 7-10 minute trip. My only negative complaint, and it really wasn’t a big deal, the list of amenities listed a coffee pot, when we got there we found there was only a Kuerig, so be sure to pack or buy pods. Overall, we had a great time! (This would be a perfect spot for a couple or friend getaway).

Longtime friends get together

The house was very tastefully renovated/decorated. The owners were very responsive and accommodating and we had a great time! The only thing we had to complain about was when we had to leave today!

Wonderful beach cottage in Duck

This lovely cottage was the perfect place for our stay over Labor Day weekend! It is very comfortable and cozy and beautifully decorated. The kitchen also has everything you might need. It's a short walk to the beach and you don't have to cross Route 12, which is great. It's really nice to have a place that isn't huge, too. Lastly, the owner communicated well and provided all the information we needed. We can't wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Crystal Miscio

Host profile image
Hey! I'm based in Northern Virginia, right near the DC metro area, so I get to enjoy the best of both city life and nature. When I’m not hosting, I love exploring new hiking spots or trying out different food spots in the area—there’s so much variety around here! I enjoy hosting because it’s great to meet new people, share recommendations about the area, and make guests feel at home. Whether you’re here for work, play, or just passing through, I want to help you get the most out of your time in this area. Looking forward to connecting!

Why they chose this property

I chose Sound Sea Village in Duck, NC because it’s the perfect blend of peaceful, coastal living with just the right amount of charm. It’s a quiet, laid-back neighborhood with beautiful soundfront views, so the sunsets are absolutely magical. I love how it’s tucked away from the hustle and bustle but still close enough to enjoy everything Duck and the Outer Banks have to offer—like the local shops, fresh seafood, and beach access. It’s a community where you can truly unwind, take in the natural beauty, and feel like you're escaping the ordinary. Plus, there’s always something to do, from kayaking on the sound to strolling along the beach. What I enjoy most is how serene and friendly the vibe is—it’s a place where you can really recharge!

What makes this property unique

What makes my property stand out is the perfect balance between old-school beach charm and modern comfort. It’s an original OBX beach box that’s been thoughtfully renovated—keeping the rustic, cozy vibe but with all the modern amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The open floor plan and natural light make the space feel airy and relaxed, while the updates like a sleek kitchen, stylish bathrooms, and comfortable bedrooms really elevate the experience. It’s got that nostalgic beach feel, but with the convenience of things like high-speed Wi-Fi and updated appliances. Plus, I’ve made sure to keep the little touches that give it personality, like vintage decor and outdoor spaces perfect for lounging after a day at the beach. It’s the kind of place that lets you enjoy the best of both worlds—classic beach vibes with the perks of modern living.
