Duck Haven is a Great House.

We have used Duck Haven for our last two Outer Banks vacations. It is a wonderful house very comfortable and large enough for privacy for the three families who meet for fun every year. You can tell the owner really loves the house, it has everything you can think of and could need. We hope to use Duck Haven again.

Instructions and labels abounded, making it very easy to work and find things. Though we didn't need, the house was equipped to be very child friendly. Between the beach and pool at the house my vacation was complete. Would definitely recommend this property.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had another great vacation at Duck Haven. The weather was very warm so the pool was utilized every day!!! We also took the short walk to the beach where everyone enjoyed themselves. The house was big enough for the 12 of us, which includes 2 small children. The baby gates and crib/pack n play were a blessing. This was our 2nd trip to this house in 5 years, and both were wonderful family vacations.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was everything we could ask for. It had a pool, hot tub, and 5 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms. The kitchen was furnished with everything you would need. The house also had a grocery/ luggage elevator so you did not have to carry these items to the third floor. Perfect house for a perfect get away. I highly would recommend it.

Great spot, decent rental

The location of the home is great! The beach is a five minute walk and the town of Duck is totally walkable. The house itself has some drawbacks. The kitchen is VERY small which did not work well for my family of 13. Some of the mattresses were terrible and dipped in the middle. The pool was small and the beach chairs were broken. We were able to make everything work but for the price I was hoping for more.

A perfect Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Duck Haven met all our family's expectations and more. The house was just as described. Clean with every amenitiy one might want. Lots of space for all members of the family from child to adult. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed having the pool to cool off whenever we chose to. We appreciated the go to sheets with information for the area since this was our first time in Duck. The location on a cul de sac was perfect and very quiet sitting outside in the eveing on the decks was what a vacation time should be like. Thank you for an unforgetable setting for our family's 2018 July 4th celebration!!!Linda

House & Location Good - Cleanliness Not Good

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 1. No one ever contacted us that it was ok to go in, we did go in a few minutes before 6pm. 2. Two of the three bathrooms were dirty, one toilet was not flushed after someone went to the bathroom. Kitchen was not cleaned. However, after reading and completing our check list before leaving, it appears to me you have the renters doing the cleaning of the bathrooms and kitchen. I was charged a cleaning fee, as I'm sure the guests a head of me were. I was very disappointed in the cleanliness!

Comfortable Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The size and location fit our family needs. The king/queen size beds plus 2 bunk beds provided comfortable sleeping arrangements. The kitchen had a large assortment of dishes, pots and pans plus many appliances allowing us to prepare large meals easily. The pool was a nice size and was clean with ample chairs, tables and some inflatable toys. We enjoyed the easy access to the beach, sound and town of Duck. The house and furnishings were well maintained, but appeared to be cleaned quickly before turn over from the last group of visitors. Having sheets and towels provided was a plus, unfortunately the dish towels were missing and there was no toilet paper when we arrived. The shaded top balcony was our favorite. The traffic noise from route 12 could be heard outside, but was something we got used to hearing. The neighborhood itself was very quiet and friendly - even the deer that visited daily! I'd recommend this property to families wanting a casual, comfortable stay close to the beach and town of Duck.

Pride in Ownership

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was obvious this owner really cares about their guests. The house was the cleanest of all the houses I've stayed in over the last 15 years of OBX vacations. The decks were immaculate, which literally never happens. The outdoor furniture and hammocks were clean and web free. The pool was perfect. The kitchen was very well stocked and everything is labeled which really helps. The kitchen and bathrooms aren't fancy but are well maintained. Each bathroom had extra hooks for towels and swimsuits. Instructions for the TV's and internet are provided. The cargo lift was a back saver. The only issue we had at all was that the blinds had taken a beating. I'm not sure of the solution but finding a more durable option might be beneficial long term. I personally would put a King bed in the top floor Master. You have the space and most adults prefer a bigger bed when they're on vacation. The walk to the beach wasn't bad at all but might be a little long for someone with mobility issues. The private beach didn't have a lifeguard. We had a very calm ocean, had the surf been rougher I'm not sure I'd be comfortable without lifeguards in sight. The location just south of town was perfection. This was the furthest south we've stayed and I can't imagine being north now. The convenience to Kitty Hawk and larger stores makes a huge difference. We ate at Barefoot Bernie's and it was amazing. Bernie's Brother, not so amazing. The all grass mini-golf in Corolla was really fun for teens-boomers.(Spray with bug spray before you go)Overall, a really great stay. I would absolutely recommend the house and will stay again depending on who was in the travel party. Unfortunately the stairs that come with most of these properties have become difficult for my aging parents, so our next trip with them may require a kitchen and bedroom on the first floor.

This place has become very special to us and we will definitely return!

Wonderful Experience!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Duck Haven! The house was very clean, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the layout worked very well with our group of three families. The pool was a good size for younger kids (one- to seven- year-olds in our group) and the hot tub was brand new and fit six adults comfortably. We also enjoyed having the sand portion in the back yard. The decorations were a fun touch too. In the words of my 7 y/o, Duck Haven was “SUPER EPIC!” 🤩

The pool was fantastic, the hammocks provided outdoor relaxation and the location was great! The Cartwright's provided a great informational binder with instructions and recommendations which were so helpful! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our first time in the Outer Banks!

A delightful home for a Family Retreat!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 10 had a wonderful stay. The two decks, pool and sandy outdoor game area provided plenty of extra space for everyone to spread out. Just a ten minute walk to the beach and 15 minute walk into town made Duck Haven an ideal location. Day trips to the Currituck Lighthouse in Corolla; the Wright Brothers Memorial in Kitty Hawk and Bodie Lighthouse in Nags Head proved to be fun and informative excursions as well. The house was well organized and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. Expandable toddler gates at the top of each set of stairs was greatly appreciated to keep our little ones safe. Our family also enjoyed shady morning runs, tennis matches and bike rides. A shout out to "Tree House Coffee and Rope Ladder Kitchen" for wonderful breakfasts! Thank you Cartwright family for taking such good care of your guests. We are already looking forward to a return visit!

Great for a Large Family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was in great shape and could accommodate a lot of people. It was nice having the game room downstairs so the kids could stay up after everyone else went to bed. Although blocked from view because of trees, it was located next to Duck Rd which experiences a lot of traffic, so if you are a light sleeper that may be an issue. Our only negative about the property was a third floor railing fell off the outside porch when a child was leaning on it. It looked like it was held in with a couple of staples, and those were rusted. Luckily, no one was hurt, and we just kept smaller children off the balcony for the remainder of the trip. It was a very easy walk to the beach, and crabbing on the sound was a fun experience!
