DU100: Duck Side of the Moon
Amenities / Description
Nestled among the treetops on a hill, Duck Side of the Moon is a six-bedroom home with a perfect location in Duck – a 5-minute walk east to the beach, and an easy stroll west to some of the best dining and shopping anywhere in the Outer Banks in one of the "Best Small Towns in the South", according to Travel & Leisure magazine. Sit on the breezy decks and enjoy the beautiful views of the ocean horizon or take a dip or swim a few laps in the large private saltwater pool. Enjoy the serene enclosed outdoor space with plenty of room to soak up the sun, or spend the afternoon under one of the pergolas with a good book and your favorite beverage.
Duck Side of the Moon is beautifully furnished and decorated, with photographs of the Outer Banks by local and visiting artists. Bedrooms and common areas feature Roku TVs, with cable and DVD players as well in common areas. Duck Side of the Moon’s top level has vaulted ceilings and features a kitchen, a sunlit living room, and large dining area that open to wide decks, as well as a bathroom with a relaxing steam shower, a king bedroom with separate deck access, and an enclosed screen porch. The entry-level, just below, has a full bath and 3 bedrooms - one with king bed, one with two full beds, and a perfect room for kids with bunk beds that sleeps four. The lower level -- with direct access to the beautiful pool and outdoor dining and lounging areas -- has an indoor sitting/TV area and separate small kitchen (with dishwasher and an icemaker), plus two queen bedrooms and a full bath. An external freight elevator means that you can take luggage and groceries out of your car and send them up, saving your knees and back the hassle of lugging them up the steps. If you can’t be totally on vacation and need to work or go to school remotely there is high-bandwidth WiFi.
At Duck Side of the Moon, you have plenty of options of how to spend your day: Start the day with a short walk over to Duck Donuts or Tullio’s Bakery and grab fresh donuts or bagels for your gang to enjoy with coffee for breakfast. Then pass the hours with friends and family lounging poolside, listening to music on the outdoor speakers and enjoying al fresco meals in the covered outdoor dining area. Or spend the day playing in the surf at the beach, just a short walk down Plover Drive. For a change of pace, take a stroll over to the upscale shops at Scarborough Faire and other nearby shopping and grab an ice cream or spend the afternoon browsing. Later, you can head over to top restaurants such as Aqua, NC Coast, or Blue Point Grill, all just a short walk away, for a sunset cocktail and fine dining or a casual bite with the best views around. And then come back home and enjoy the evening around the firepit. The wide range of options and spaces at Duck Side of the Moon offer something to please everyone in your group.

Mike from Belmont, OHMy family of 7 and my parents stayed in Duck for the first time. We absolutely loved the home! You cannot beat the location. 5 minute walk to the beach or town. The house was perfect ….it was clean, modern and comfortable. We spent a great deal of time by the pool listening to our favorite tunes through the Bluetooth speakers. The house was equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen and for the pool. We would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Suzanne from Richmond, VirginiaDuck Side of the Moon has been lovingly restored! We choose Duck over and over again for it's natural beauty, privacy, and the village experience. This house is a reflection of all that -- close to the beach with an easy walk to town and brand new decks that allow you take in the ocean and the live oaks. The house is is well-appointed and features all new flooring from top to bottom. We cooked the whole week and the kitchen provided everything we needed. The real gem of this house is the pool. It is an old-school tiled pool that is very big for beach standards. There are two pergolas that are tripped out in lights for the evening and plenty of lounge and adirondack chairs plus an outdoor dining area. We used the firepit and the grill during our stay -- I'd recommend a grill tray to deal with the ashes -- it's a charcoal park grill. You will need to bring everything you need for the beach -- we donated six beach chairs to the house but hard to say if they'll still be on site. We were surprised to find kayaks but the weather was not cooperative during our stay -- we did rent beach cruisers for the week and used them constantly to make a quick ride to the beach or to town. Great house - great location - great poolside!

I recommend this Beach House to anyone who is vacationing in Duck. We had 16 of us fit comfortably for our much needed week of vacation the end of July! The outside space is even better than what the photos show. There is penty of outdoor furniture for everyone to sit outside and relax. The two pergolas have some kind of mesh cover on them, so you can go in the shade if you wish, or in our case were so amazing to have because it rained and drizzled a couple of days. It doesn’t fully protect from the rain, but it sure helped! Plus, there are beautiful lights to have on outside at night. Be sure to bring Firewood, as there is a total separate fire pit area with plenty of chairs, that was so nice to sit and relax by. The inside had everything we needed, so we were able to spend time inside comfortably as well. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need to make meals. There is a Charcoal grill, that we got plenty of use out of, as well. Also plenty of room there as well for everyone to sit comfortably! There are lots of stairs to go up and down. However, the downstairs has a kitchen set up, that you can use while outside hanging out. The location of this home is the best! The access to the beach is right down the road ( there is limited parking spots if you wish to drive and drop off your stuff). Easy walk into town for plenty of shopping and fabulous food! The views and the food at the AQUA restaurant, right within walking distance, are unbelieveable! I also appreciated that the owners really took the time to send us a welcome basket while we were there and followed up with us after our stay. Those little things mean alot!
