It would be hard to find a better location in the Village of Duck than DuckAway. This home is located between the beach and the village, with a short walk to the beach on one side and a short walk to the center of town on the other side. It is the perfect place to enjoy a fun and relaxing vacation with the family and the dog while having a variety of options for activities. DuckAway boasts a lagoon-style swimming pool (approximately 26'x12), a large hot tub, a spacious house with many amenities, a wonderful beach, and the fun Town of Duck with shops, restaurants, soundfront boardwalk, park, and other activities.

DuckAway is located a short three-block walk from the neighborhood beach access with a view of the ocean from the top level. It is on quiet Poteskeet Drive, which is a central street leading into the center of the Village of Duck and the nearby acclaimed shops and restaurants along Duck Road. Poteskeet Drive also leads directly into the Duck Park on the Sound, which hosts many scheduled summer entertainments, the Fall Duck Jazz Festival, and the Town’s extensive soundfront boardwalk.

On the ground level, DuckAway has a lagoon-style pool with salt chlorination and pool lights, a poolside hot tub, a large airy outdoor shower, a grilling area, and a backyard with a lawn. Most of the lower level of the house is enclosed and includes a large recreation room with TV, DVD, and cable, and various games and puzzles. The lower level also includes a bathroom, a utility room with a washer and dryer, a refrigerator, and a microwave. The mid-level consists of three king bedrooms, one single and double bedroom, and two bathrooms. Each of the four bedrooms has a TV, DVD, cable, ceiling fan, and memory foam mattresses. Three bedrooms have doors leading out to the mid-level deck. The top level features an updated kitchen with extensive countertops and cabinets, including a pantry cabinet for your provisions, a dining area, and a great room with two sliding door sets leading out to the deck. There is also a king bedroom with TV, DVD, cable, ceiling fan, memory foam mattress, and a door to the deck, and a bathroom. The great room has a large TV, Blu-ray player, cable, a stereo with CD and Bluetooth connectivity, and a ceiling fan.

We love this house- it's a good size for the family(ies) and reasonably priced. Loved the short walk to the beach and the ability to walk to many businesses and restaurants.

Beds are wonderful. Well-equipped kitchen, could use some food storage containers for leftovers. Some areas are showing their age but for the most part this house is well-maintained and comfortable. Things we enjoyed the most about this property was the walking distance to Duck and the beach, it's a comfortable home, great pool, and well stocked kitchen. And you can't beat the location of this property! It's within walking distance to much of Duck.

This house was close enough to walk to shops and restaurants in Duck. Quick access to town and close to beach! Kitchen well equipped; an exhaust fan would be good especially for cooking seafood. Beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the new Hot Tub!

Great house! This is the 3rd time we rented this house. We love the proximity to the beach as well as the boardwalk. Very comfortable and enough space for our family. Does need a little sprucing up in the kitchen and living room, the most used areas but the kitchen is well equipped for our cooking needs. Beds are adequate for comfort. The house is well equipped for a week or two stay.

Very nice house. The home was nicely furnished and we felt right at home. Nice grounds and the owners should be commended for the large number of games books puzzles etc. We enjoyed eating on the deck and enjoyed the gas grill. Pool and hot tub were used and enjoyed (nice and clean). Nice outdoor and indoor showers. Beds were comfortable and sufficient bathrooms.

Lovely place to "Duckaway"

Reviewed on 2022-05-27 by Julie Nagle

Duckaway was a lovely home for our family of 5 and four-legged friend to spend some much need family time together. The home is thoughtfully outfitted with the best stocked kitchen books games beach chairs beach wagon comfortable beds and nice views from the upper deck. The heated pool and hot tub were enjoyed by all. The owners have thought of everything to include dog tags for the vacationing pup. We loved our time in this immaculate home and highly recommend it. While the home isn't as "glitzy" as some we actually felt as if we were staying in someone's home and not a high turn-over rental. It was lovely. Only "con" that I can think of is that for elderly or littles the beach distance is a bit further than expected but can be remedied with a quick 5 second drive to drop off at the cul-de-sac. Oh ya - and the beach - it's perfection. Highly recommend this wonderful centrally located home.

Perfect Duck Getaway

Duckaway is a beautiful home that has been lovingly taken care of by its owners! It had the perfect layout for our family was immaculately clean kitchen was well equipped game room had tons of games to keep us occupied on a rainy day heated pool (with nice privacy fence) was a huge plus for swimming at the end of September/beginning of October hot tub was great for relaxing loved laying in the hammock for an afternoon nap & the massive deck on two levels had plenty of seating. The gated deck made it possible for us to let our poochie outside safely. The location was also amazing because we only had to walk three blocks to get to the beach & about four blocks to the center of town. Loved being able to walk to Duck Donuts & to do some shopping without moving our car! We loved it so much we cancelled next year’s reservation (July 2021) for another property so we could stay at Duckaway again for another week in August 2021! Only downside was seeing a few creepy crawlers (waterbugs) in the home but that’s to be expected in Autumn when temps start to drop outside. Called Sun Realty & the response time for the exterminator was impressive (under 2 hours)! BOTTOM LINE IS STAY HERE & YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! Wished we could have stayed longer!

Fabulous Family Retreat

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our week at Duckaway! The property was clean and the kitchen was very well-equip. There was an ample amount of deck/pool furniture. The pool and hot tub are well maintained and our family enjoyed the evening swims. The beds were comfortable and the rooms are of good size. Only one bedroom does not have deck access but there is door to the deck right outside the bedroom. Its just a short walk to the beach and to the town boardwalk and shops. Although we did bring our own beach chairs and buggy the homeowners do provide a beach wagon and lots of beach chairs! There is a walkway to the beach that has stairs so you will need to either carry the wagon down the stairs or lock it at the walkway. The front loading washer does still have a strong odor and the outside grills had not been cleaned. We are looking forward to our next OBX vacation!
