The Space:
The Salty Duck is the kind of house that makes people want to come back. It's been thoughtfully renovated — clean lines, modern updates, and a layout that gives a family of 8 room to spread out without losing each other. Three king bedrooms, a bunk room for the kids, three full bathrooms, and two separate levels of entertaining space inside and out.
The backyard is where most of the magic happens. The private saltwater pool and hot tub are set alongside a bar area with lighting, outdoor games, and deck seating. When you're ready for sunsets, the sound is a 5-minute walk. When you're ready for the beach, access is 8 minutes on foot — you'll cross Rt. 12, but it's a quick, easy crossing that guests do daily without a second thought.
Duck village is about a mile away — walkable or a short drive — with restaurants, coffee shops, yoga, boutique shopping, and the Duck boardwalk right on the sound. It's one of the most charming towns on the OBX, and it's essentially at your doorstep. Shore Roasters coffee shop, Southern Shores Pizza, Steamers, and much more are just a short drive!
What guests say:
"The house was beautiful, very clean, and had 3 great gathering spaces which served our group well. They had beach chairs and pool floats, which we also appreciated. Beds were comfortable too." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Liz
"We had a great experience renting this home! The house was exactly as described. They had many thoughtful touches that made it very easy to just show up and enjoy the house. We liked that they provided beach chairs and offered many kid-friendly extras in the house. We would definitely recommend!" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Kerri
"The house is even nicer than expected. Most Airbnbs are more dated than you can tell from the pictures. This one felt brand new inside. Absolutely no clutter, but stocked with what we needed. So much space! There were 3 different indoor sitting areas and plenty outside as well. Perfect house and so close to everything!" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Angela
