Hear that? Your next Outer Banks vacation is calling... How Sweet the Sound is perched on one of the highest elevations in Duck's Ocean Crest neighborhood with incredible ocean-to-sound views for enjoying breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. This timeless coastal retreat boasts fresh updates throughout and provides guests with a private saltwater pool, community beach access and a prime location just south of Duck Village. The top-level living area's casual, open-concept design is anchored by a unique three-sided fireplace, available to use during the off-season for staying cozy on cooler Spring and Fall evenings. Hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings with exposed beams add to the character of this one-of-a-kind home. The great room opens up onto an expansive wrap-around deck with pergola and built-in seating for effortless indoor/outdoor living. Bask in the sun on the luxurious half-moon outdoor sofa and ottoman set, or relax with a drink in hand while watching the sunset over the sound. Back inside, the well-equipped kitchen has been recently remodeled with granite countertops and subway tile backsplash.

Both of the primary suites are located away from the other bedrooms for plenty of privacy - one on the top floor and the second by itself on the mid-level. They each include a king bed, deck access and ensuite bath with jetted tub. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are situated on the ground level, along with a laundry room and direct access to the backyard pool area. After a day at the beach or exploring Duck, this is where the fun can continue well into the evening. Splash in the saltwater pool or take a soak in the bubbly hot tub. The pool can be heated certain times of the year, ideal for off-season getaways. A grilling area and horseshoe pit round out the amenities in this family-friendly outdoor space.

How Sweet the Sound is part of the Ocean Crest neighborhood, a private community featuring an outdoor pool, tennis court and beach access with parking exclusively for Ocean Crest guests. Use the town's multi-use path to ride bikes to downtown Duck, just a mile north of the house, where you can browse a variety of eclectic, locally-owned boutiques, galleries and eateries. Take a stroll down the boardwalk through the Waterfront Shops for unique shopping and dining experiences with a fabulous view. The Town of Duck amphitheater hosts yoga classes, concerts, children's activities and annual events including the Fourth of July Parade and Duck Jazz Festival.
