This lovely home is appointed with many extras to make your vacation one to remember. From the private Volley Ball court where you can challenge your friends and family to a friendly game to the peaceful Hot Tub area with a park style grill and sitting area.
Tides Inn has been implemented with stainless steel appliances, gorgeous tile floors in the bathrooms, hard wood floors in the living area and carpet in the bedrooms. There are private decks on both levels so you can enjoy some sun, or better yet, do some OBX stargazing by night.
The upper level of our home includes a Great room with vaulted ceiling, flat screen TV/DVD, Surround sound, Wii, and sliding doors to access your large sun deck overlooking mature trees. Dining area with table for 6; kitchen bar seating for 4; Gourmet Kitchen that any cook would love with stainless steel appliances, large pantry and plenty of counter space for prep work. 1 Bedroom (Master with Queen, private bath, TV, DVD, 2 closets and private deck); half bathroom.

The bottom level includes under house parking, dry entry and laundry. This house also features a private outdoor shower and changing area for easy de-sanding when you get back from the beach.
During your well deserved vacation try your luck at surf fishing and crabbing or enjoy just sitting and watching the pelicans fish. Spend the day shopping in Timbuck II or in the town of Duck then enjoy one of the many fine restaurants. Climb the Currituck Light House. Take a drive South on Highway 12 to Hatteras Island and Hatteras Lighthouse and enjoy the over 70 miles of undeveloped National Seashore.
Continue south and ride the ferry to Ocracoke Island. Visit Roanoke Island and the North Carolina Aquarium. Take a chartered fishing trip from Oregon Inlet, known for some of the best fishing along the Atlantic Coastline. Play a round of golf at the Currituck Club.
Tides Inn is a leisurely 10 minute walk to the beach, or if you prefer, a three minute bike ride! Unlike other OBX beach locations, our beach has a lifeguard on duty during the summer season. This vacation home is known for being a great place for a family vacation on a quiet street. Consider this your own private getaway while still being close to the OBX's fun shopping and restaurants.

We are so happy that you and your family enjoyed your vacation at Tides Inn. We love the location too and look forward to your visit in the future!
The house worked well for 3 adult couples. It’s in a nice neighborhood for walking or biking and also to reach the trail along Duck Rd. The parking passes made it very convenient to go to the beach with all our beach supplies. We enjoyed our trip very much. Thank you Carol!

We had a lovely stay at the Tides Inn. The location was excellent -- tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, a short drive from downtown Duck and very close to a lovely beach access point (we found the Hillcrest parking area to be very convenient with very nice facilities) and the sound. The home was as described -- very comfortable, AC worked great, clean, nice kitchen. The hot tub and outdoor shower were excellent. The host was very responsive and replied quickly to messages. We highly recommend a stay in this home!

Cute, clean house located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to the beach and Duck. Definitely enjoyed our stay. Owner was easy to contact and quick to respond. Thanks!
We enjoyed spending our vacation at the Tides Inn! It had all of the wonderful amenities we could ask for and more. We spent time in the hot tub, biked to the beach and all of the local shops, and to the marina to watch the beautiful sunset. The surrounding trees and woods provided solitude on the back deck where we spent several moonlit nights. Thank you for letting us spend our vacation at your beautiful home!

Tides Inn was perfect for our 2 family vacation! The teens loved the ability to go to and from the beach on foot themselves and the parents felt safe enough to allow it. We loved the property and closeness to the beach access and are already making plans to return! Beautiful and fun memories to last a lifetime! Thank You!

This is a beautiful property! It is well maintained and seems like a new property even though it is a few years old. We thoroughly enjoyed the location--close to the beach and the sound. We could walk to the beach, but enjoyed having parking passes when we didn't feel like trekking. Very nice! I would stay here again.

A great place to stay near Duck, a cute town of great restaurants and fun shopping. Can walk safely to beach or a parking permit was provided. Never had a problem parking and access was right at a lifeguard station. A very clean, nicely stocked home with hot tub. Very enjoyable.

Had a wonderful time at the Outer Banks. This was our first time at the Outer Banks and we loved the house and the beach. The property we rented was a great central location. We loved that we did not have to take chairs, boogie boards etc. Also, loved seeing all the deer in our neighborhood. Carol was very easy to work with and always answered any questions in a timely manner. Would definitely rent this property again.

About the host
Hosted by Carol Fox
Dennis and I both grew up in Bucks County, Pa. We both went to the same high school, began dating, and fell in love. We spent every summer with our toes in the sand and knew one day we would purchase a home in the Outer Banks. Last year we did that and built our home in Southern Shores. We enjoy spending time with family and friends.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Southern Shores the very first time we vacationed there. Nothing had ever felt so right, so we closed our eyes and purchased a lot after a couple years of vacationing in the Outer Banks!! We are blessed to have the opportunity to share our home with others the way someone once opened their door and allowed us to be a guest at their beautiful beach house.
Southern Shores offers an amazing beach access parking area at Hillcrest Drive, (right around the corner from Tides Inn), which includes an ocean-front viewing platform with two showers, a pergola over the showers, updated bathrooms and a volleyball court. Nearby is the Sea Oats Park (corner of Sea Oats and Hickory) newly renovated play ground area, a basketball court, soccer field and exercise stations. Three "Little Free Libraries" have been installed and are located at E. Dogwood, Triangle Park and Chicahauk.
What makes this property unique
Key-less Entry Free life guard provided at our beach-(Hillcrest Beach) Access ramp to Hillcrest Beach Several Beach parking lots (2 parking passes provided) Playground with basketball and soccer areas Marinas Boat ramp access All four bedrooms have their own TV with DVD players Free Linens for each bed
Tides Inn has an electronic key-less entry lock. The Tenant will be provided a lock code in a welcome package prior to the check-in date. The lock code will be good for the term of the VACATION RENTAL AGREEMENT. As a reminder, we do provide bed linens for each bed. We also provide a hand towel and wash cloth for each guest. We do not provide beach towels or bath towels. Check-in time is 4PM on the beginning date of your reservation. While we can’t guarantee an early check-in, every effort will be made to get the property ready as early as possible. Tenant can request a text message indicating that the property is ready for them, in case the property is available earlier than 4PM.
This house (and surrounding property) is a true vacation home. It is secluded and peaceful, all the while being in a busy beach town. In fact, it’s a fun stroll to the beach! You pass a turtle pond via the walking/biking paths on your way, and the kids enjoy a nature stroll.
