An oceanfront cottage as cozy as a duck's down feathers, “Duck Down” is a perfect spot for families that want to bond and enjoy easy oceanfront access to the beach. This 5 bedroom, 3 bath house includes a hot tub and dog-friendly fenced yard (including a shaded area under the house). Amazing ocean views await you from the great room and decking. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. A huge dining table has room for everyone, big or small, all at the table together for meals! There are actually two walkways all the way to the spacious dune top deck and steps to the beach, one for each level. “Duck Down” is furnished with tasteful coastal décor and appointments, pleasing to the eye for discriminating taste without losing the charm of a traditional Duck beach cottage. Look forward to long, lazy beach days, evenings relaxing in the hot tub, or playing with the kids on the beach or in the yard (with Fido, of course!). The kids will love the loft area just for them, accessed with a ladder, with an LCD TV for games and movies.

Well maintained home. We loved it being dog friendly and fully fenced in area for dogs to run around in. Great deck and location.

Thank you for staying with us at "Duck Down," and for posting this 5-Star review. We are glad the whole family enjoyed the house (including your dog). Please come back again soon!
The views from the deck were amazing. Easy beach access although a lot of steps. The top deck was huge and made a great playground for the grandchildren. Lots of space in the great room for everyone and we all could sit at the dining room table with room to spare.

Thank you for posting this 4-Star review. You picked a great house with "Duck Down." It sounds like you had a great family gathering. Be sure to let us know what we can do next time to make your stay a 5-Star experience!
Hot tub needs to be updated as most of the jets did not work. Great house as location is awesome. My only complaint other than the hot tub needs to updated is that a maintenance person (who was very nice and professional) showed up and let himself in and I only heard him when he was almost up on the third level. He was not aware that someone was renting for the week. I would of appreciated a phone call prior.

Thank you for your 5-Star review of "Duck Down." We apologize the jets on the tub were not to your expectations but we have notified the property owner of your comments and he has promised action. We also apologize for the property owner's technician surprising you during your stay. Our staff did inform the company there was a guest in house, but it was obviously not passed along. It is our practice to shout out "Maintenance" when opening the door. We have advised the property owner of this so he can address it with the technician and it won't happen again. We look forward to having you back.
Great spot on the beach. Great house. Could use a little TLC but didn't affect ability to enjoy the stay. Decks out to the beach and sitting in the hot tub listening to the ocean were wonderful.

Duck Down was clean, well stocked and had amazing, ocean views. It has a wonderful, fenced yard and deck for dogs and the floor plan is perfect for families. We enjoyed being so close to all of the shops and restaurants! Thanks for a great vacation!

Laura-Anne, thank you for leaving us a review! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your Spring stay at Duck Down. It's a gorgeous property with incredible views, and located in such a prime spot. Thank you for choosing Blue, we hope to see you again soon!
The house is a little worn and shows signs of repair work. It needs some tender loving care but was comfortable and right on the beach.

Hi Wade, we are glad to hear you were able to have a nice Christmas in the Outer Banks! We have made a note to check out some of the repairs needed. Thank you for choosing Outer Banks Blue!
Specifically reserved this house as it is in Duck where the pups can run free on the beach. The house was super dog friendly with multiple gates restricting access to the beach from the porch, but giving free access to the dog run. The house had plenty of kitchenware and a huge table to seat everyone or do puzzles! Don't plan to use the grill though!
Property management was awesome as well. We had a few maintenance things that needed to be addressed and they fixed them right away.
Definitely would stay here again!

Taryn,
Thank you for your 5-Star review of "Duck Down." This is a great option for all that you mentioned above. The house is very popular for all the reasons you stated. Just to clarify, the problem with the grill has been rectified, and we are glad we were able to take care of any issue that came up during your stay promptly.
The house was very clean and spacious. Everything worked properly as it should. The elaborate back deck was the best part about the place. It has connected top and bottom levels that go right to the beach. The top level is magnificent for its views (especially at sunrise), and has picnic benches and chairs. There are gates at the top of each set of stairs on the deck, which is helpful if you have dogs or small kids. We had a magnificent stay, and I'd definitely want to go back one day!

Wow. We appreciate the great feedback and your guidance to future guests of this popular property. Thank you for the 5-Stars and we hope you will come back soon as promised. We would love to host you again!
Had a great stay at Duck Down! Location is fantastic and close to everything—and enjoyed having our dog! Property Manager is engaged and responsive—Thank you!
We really enjoyed our trip and time at Duck Downs. The convenience to bring our dog and have a family friendly house right on the water was unbeatable. To walk down and back to the beach throughout the day made it so much easier than packing and loading up everything. The house itself is clean and has what you need for your vacation, though it feels a little weathered.
