DU201: Life O'Rily

We had an awesome time at Life O'Rily! The house fit 19 people comfortably. It was perfectly placed between a quick walk/bike to the beach and a quick bike to the many shops and boardwalk in Duck. The landscaping offers privacy despite being centrally located in a neighborhood. The house was clean, hot tub was the perfect temperature, even though we didn't get the pool heated it still felt great for the middle of May! My only complaint is I wish the linenes were included, it took more planning and packing due to bringing our own towels and sheets for so many people. Overall a great place to stay and would reccomend it! Thank you Lynn for your help!

- Posted: 5/18/2025

Thanks for being there. We're happy to know the house, community and location was enjoyed and appreciated! I'm sorry you didn't opt in for the available linen package and regretted that. It does make arrival and departure easier and was offered several times. Opting out of adding linen service allows guests to control some of the cost. I thought that was your preference. We want you to have the best experience and value you can! Thanks for sharing your thoughts,L.L.

Village Realty staff

Our stay was amazing. Everything was extremely smooth from the booking, contract signing, emails, check in all the way to check out. Lynn was extremely responsive to my emails and texts. During our stay, the pool wasn’t heating the first day, and she immediately responded and handled it. The house was exactly what it looks like in the pictures and more. Plenty of room for our stay with 10 kids and 8 adults. The location is beautiful- kids were able to scooter around the neighborhood and we were able to walk to dinner in downtown duck. The beach is also a short walk away. Highly recommend this house for your next vacation!

The property was as advertised. Clean, comfortable, sufficiently appointed. Check-in/out was a breeze. Owner communication very good. The Four Seasons community is very nice, with easy beach access. Short walk away to Duck, which is also niceanconvenient

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Life 'o Riley

- Posted: 6/10/2024

we stayed with our 4 sons and families, the house was perfect for our grandkids 1 yr old up to 17 yrs. House was very clean upon arrival, everything was as described. We especially appreciated the large kitchen and pantry storage and dining area. Between the beach, the pool and family games nites its was wonderful time. There were lots of beach chairs, and sand toys and parents appreciated the beach buggy and wagon for short walk to the beach. Highly recommend.

Wonderful working with you to plan a large family vacation. Thanks for choosing Life O'rily and Duck for your destination. Keep us in mind if your travels bring you back this way

Village Realty staff

The place was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed for sleeping, cooking, etc! The kids had a blast in the pool and on the slide. The pool and hot tub were also very clean. It was nice being walking distance from the beach access. I definitely recommend staying here and hopefully in future years we can come back and stay again!

Thanks for choosing Life o'Rily for your family's spring break, Morgan! It was a pleasure working with you and we hope you'll be back too.

Village Realty staff

The house is clean and well maintained. The home is comfortable and accommodating for large groups, and the kitchen is thoughtfully provisioned. Lynn was a pleasure to work with. Four Seasons was perfect for our family, offering activities everyone to enjoy, from the playground to the pickle ball courts. It’s an easy walk to the beach as well as to the town of Duck, which we found to be delightful!

Thanks for your review, E.G. That's some of our reasons for choosing this home too! Our extended family has a good time together - or going our own ways - in Four Season's community, Duck Village and the greater Outer Banks.

Village Realty staff

This was a great house for our yearly family beach vacation. The kids and adults loved the pool, slide and jacuzzi. The location and amenities were perfect for our family. The host was also so amazing. We even left behind a bag and she was so helpful in getting it back. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing!! Can’t rave enough about our time at Life O’Rily!! It was a fantastic week. The house lacks NOTHING… great location… amazing neighborhood … every amenity you can imagine… and so much comfort! If it’s available when you’re thinking of traveling to the area, don’t think twice and book it. Lynn is the most gracious host ever and her house is the best. 10/10!!

- Posted: 5/28/2023

Beautiful house. We had all ages for a family vacation. The owners were accommodating and very easy to reach. Short walk to the beach, the playground was great for the littles, the older kids enjoyed the slide in the pool. Had a great time!

We had a group of 10 that the house accommodated very well. Everyone had their own bedroom and bath. The backyard had pool and hot tub which was made private with all the trees around it. Had everything you needed in kitchen. Close to all the shops/restaurants. We all enjoyed ourselves.

- Posted: 9/12/2022

This was our first time staying in Duck and at this property. Everything was so close to get to. The house was very well equipped with everything one could need. The beds were very comfortable and the we were in the pool everyday! The views from the upper decks were spectacular! I would definitely stay there again. G. Lore

Glad to know you enjoyed your time in Duck and at Life o’Rily so much! We hope to host your family again. Thank you G.L.

Village Realty staff

Great house for a large group - roomy and comfortable. Kitchen was best stocked kitchen we’ve ever been in. We would have anywhere from 9 to 14 at dinner, and there were plenty of place settings, serving dishes , etc. Pool was fabulous - our 3 1/2 yr old granddaughter had a blast on the slide. Thank you, Lynn, for providing such a great home in a beautiful setting!

- Posted: 8/17/2022

Great to know how well Life o'Rily worked for you & yours. I like having a well stocked kitchen. It's too hard to eat out with big groups! Thanks for your review - and our grandkids love that pool slide, too!

Village Realty staff

The entire family agreed that this was one of our best vacations ever. The home is beautiful, well appointed and in a great location. I was concerned as I wanted to rent a beachfront property but though this home was not it was perfect for our group. The Four Seasons community is everything anyone could ask for as well. We will be back

- Posted: 7/26/2022

We work to make our home a great place to stay. Thanks for your review. It was a pleasure hosting your family.

Village Realty staff

Overall, the house is great. Location is ideal, short walk to both beach and into town. Pool was fantastic and enjoyed after afternoon‘s relaxing there. Hot tub was very nice as well, appreciated that it was covered by a trellis. Kitchen was nicely stocked, and appreciated that the drawers and cabinets were labeled.

- Posted: 7/17/2022

So happy to know Life o’Rily fit your family and met expectations so well. We work hard to provide a great vacation home to guests. Thank you for being there

We love knowing that! Thanks for your review; it was a pleasure meeting you.

Village Realty staff

Our family has not been together in 3 years. This house was a perfect place for all of us to come together! The kitchen was well stocked and the dining room table was the perfect gathering spot! Just a short walk to the beach and a great back yard pool. Lynn and Jason were easy to contact and prompt responding to any problems (which were few and minor). Wifi was not great so movies were difficult but we all had a great time and the house was perfect for us!!

- Posted: 6/27/2022

Our family had just lost a young member. We were devastated. We weren’t sure if the vacation was going to happen. Fortunately a majority of us decided to go forward with our OBX plans at Life O’Rily. It was a healing choice for my family where memories will be shared for years to come.

- Posted: 6/14/2022

It's hard to think about 'vacationing' after a tragic loss such as yours. We're glad you found some peaceful time together to reflect, mourn and perhaps begin healing. Thank you for choosing our home to be that place.

Village Realty staff

had an amazing time and the house was perfect for my family and I!

Great house, great location! 8 old guys gathering for a week of golf at the Outer Banks! The house met all of our needs/request. Plenty of room everyone enjoyed their own space, BR/bath. Hot tub was great for before & after golf. Host was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We'll definitely return!

Our goal is to deliver a wonderful home for your enjoyment -Thanks!

Village Realty staff

We celebrated a milestone birthday in OBX, and Life O'Rily was perfect for us! It had plenty of room for the 14 of us, including 4 young children. It is in a great location with just a short walk to the beach. The community it is in is very nice as well, with great amenities. The house itself was very clean upon arrival. The only minor issues we had were maintenance related, but nothing worth writing about. Everyone in our party had an amazing stay and we would all do another stay here in the future!

- Posted: 10/4/2021

Thanks for your Review, M.O., we're glad that Life o'Rily was perfect for the family celebration! Our property manager is always standing by to help. We'd be happy to host you again in the future, too.

Village Realty staff

My college sorority sisters and I booked this trip as a way to all get together with each other and our spouses - we haven't been together in one place since college, and it was the absolutely perfect weeklong getaway! The house has everything you need and more! There were 6 couples, and we had more than enough rooms to accommodate us, plus so many amenities! A pool, hot tub, pool table/game room, and what impressed all of us the most was TWO DISHWASHERS! Anyone who has been on a group vacation knows that dishes pile up fast and those two dishwashers saved SO much time with our clean-up each day! The beach is so close by, we would pack the car in the morning to haul our stuff down and then easily walk it onto the beach. The neighborhood is quaint and safe, and feels very secluded! The location truly could not have been better as we walked into Duck multiple times to grab a coffee at Duck Cottage, and dinner/live music at Cravings. We had a small issue with a fire alarm chirping (likely a battery dying), but Jason the property manager responded/fixed our problem within 10 minutes of notifying him. Overall, our weekend was nothing short of fabulous, and one that we will always remember! Thank you Lynn for providing such quality hospitality!

Loved reading your review! - so glad you're college frieds and spouses could reunite and have fun again. Cheers & Thank you, CH

Lots of comfortable space for everyone. This has has most everything you need - the pool and especially the slide was a hit with the kids (ages 4-14). Easy walk to the beautiful beach - lots of beach chairs and pool toys available with the house. We would definitely come back to stay at Life o’Rily.

Thank you M, so glad Life o’Rily was a good fit for you! We would be pleased if you stayed again. Happy Travels

- Posted: 7/3/2021

Thanks for letting us know Life o’Rily suited your family well. We enjoy knowing your family had a good vacation there.

Village Realty staff

Life O’Riley was perfect for our family gathering. We had 9 adults(sons and spouses) and 4 granddaughters(6, 3, 18months, and 6 months). Close enough to the beach early in the day and fun to spend the late afternoons in the pool.(very glad we had it heated) Everyone loved having their own rooms, comfy beds, and private bathrooms. The kitchen was well-equipped for our meals. Also enjoyed some local restaurants for a few lunches/dinners out. Great room for family time was just right. Enjoyed being able to sit at one big table together. Appreciated all the prompt communication with Lynn Hoffmann and all the attention to the details of what a family needs on a vacation. Highly recommend.

- Posted: 6/12/2021

Thanks for your Review. Our goal is to make Life o’Rily comfortable for guests & a place for memories to be made. It’s good to know your family had all the space and time to be as together just as you wanted

Village Realty staff

What a beautiful home and location for our family get away. The beach and the village of Duck are both a short walk away from this house. The house was very clean and beds were all very comfortable. The kitchen and dining area had more then enough room for all 9 of us. We spent countless hours in the hot tub and pool enjoying our family. I highly recommend this place.

- Posted: 5/28/2021

Thanks for your Review. We chose Life o'Rily for the community, its convenient location to Duck and how well the house works for vacationing!

Village Realty staff

Our family had a mini family reunion in Duck at Life O'Riley. Most of us live in Utah so it was a big trip to get us all there and we loved every minute of it We were there at the beginning of May and the weather was mostly 70 degrees with 1 day at 80. The home was very comfortable and spacious to accommodate our group. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes, pots & pans, silverware...etc, We loved the pool and our grandkids got to be better swimmers with so much time spent in the pool. The 5 minute walk to the beach was nice. We brought a game called Cross Net and played it for hours on the beach. The sunrise on the Atlantic was beautiful and the sunset on the sound was very picturesque . Our host, Lynn Hoffman was great to respond and answer questions. We would love to go back there someday!

- Posted: 5/24/2021

It was a pleasure working with you, Susan, and we'd be honored if your family returns to Life o'Rily. We're glad your family reunion joyous and wish you well on your travels! The weather was a pleasant plus for late April / early May. Thanks for your detailed Review; we're grateful for your comments

Village Realty staff

This house was spectacular. We hosted a family reunion with 13 people and could not have picked a better house. Walking distance to Duck and the beach make this an ideal location, but you don't even need to leave the house. The pool, the pool table, the kitchen / living room area all make for a perfect place to gather as a family, but the 8-bedrooms make it easy to get some separation as well. The house was clean and I love how everything was labeled and easy to find. Lynn and her team have thought of everything that you need in a vacation rental. Two dishwashers were a wonderful luxury and the house has every utensil that you could imagine for cooking just the right meal (even a sushi roller - which we used one night). After about 24-hours, we were already planning our next stay at Life O'Rily.

- Posted: 4/20/2021

Good to know your family reunion went so well! Thanks for taking good care of Life o'Rily, S.S., its was great working with you. Happy Travels

Village Realty staff

We've been traveling to OBX for 30+ years, ever since I was a kid. This house was the cleanest house we every checked into and we are clean freaks. That made our week! The house is a bit older overall, but does have some updates. The furniture has some age to it for sure, but the location, amenities were outstanding. The beds were extremely comfortable - everyone commented on that. The rooms almost all have their own bathrooms, the house layout was absolutely perfect. It's a place we would love to stay again!

- Posted: 4/13/2021

So glad you enjoyed Life o' Rily and noticed how clean it is. The layout is family friendly. Life o'Rily, and the entire Four Seasons community, was built in the early 2000s and is one of the newer subdivisions in Duck. Good to know you liked the location and amenities. Thanks for your Review, MM!

Village Realty staff

Could not ask for better accommodations. Kids had plenty to do and all kids of games, bikes, tennis equipment.. Great time, everyone wished we could have stayed longer.

That's just the way we wanted you to feel! Glad you had a great time with the family in Duck & Life o'Rily - thanks for being there!

So glad you could gather here for some family fun & work! It was great working with you. Thanks for being wonderful guests.

Village Realty staff

We had one of the best family vacations at Life O’Rily!!!! This was our first beach vacation and trip to Duck for myself, my husband, and our children (ages 7, 2, & 11 months)! My in-laws joined in as well! We had a ton of room and it was very clean upon arrival! The beds were comfortable and the location was wonderful! The owners were so friendly to deal with and answered any and all questions promptly! Our kids had an amazing time swimming in the heated pool (totally worth the extra $...pay it seriously!!!!!), and the adults very much enjoyed the super clean hot tub!!! We all slept like angels at night due to being so exhausted from all the fun (that rarely happens at home!)!!!! I would highly recommend this property!!!!

- Posted: 10/1/2020

It is so easy to provide a great vacation home experience to guests that come to enjoy themselves and have fun! Thanks for being so pleasant to work with and discovering how much the Outer Banks and Duck has to offer.

Village Realty staff

Homeowners were very accommodating with questions, home is Lovely and close to the beach, shopping and restaurants. A great home away from home.

Village Realty staff

We really enjoyed our time in Duck. The house was in great shape and the neighborhood was wonderful. It's a short walk to the beach, which was in very good condition. It's a quick walk into town as well, and there is a lot to do and see. We had keyless entry, which was really efficient. Lots of rooms and a great upstairs with an open living/dining room area along with the kitchen, which had everything that we needed. Patios are off of most of the rooms, which was fun to have in the mornings and evenings. Thanks so much for a great family vacation.

- Posted: 8/8/2020

Glad to know Life o’Rily suited you well. Thanks for your review!

Village Realty staff

Our time at Life O’Reilly was amazing! From the beach ( within walking distance ) to Duck, we had everything we needed and were able to stay socially distant. The slide on the pool was a huge hit from the youngest to the oldest! The kitchen is VERY well stocked with anything you could possibly need! We'll be back!!

- Posted: 7/18/2020

Thank you T & J! So glad you took a chance on Duck & Life o’Rily & loved it (especially this year 😷). It’s a pleasure working with you and we hope Life o’Rily can host you again.

Village Realty staff

I was a bit nervous about going through with our vacation plan during the pandemic and reached out to Lynn, the owner, right away. She responded immediately and over two months we corresponded back and forth to get a feel for what the Outer Banks was like. She went above and beyond to share details about the condition of the beaches, stores and answered any other paranoid question that I had. Ultimately, we decided to go and I am glad we did! Our group had a wonderful time! This house was perfect! It was a great location to the beach, we didn't even have to drive to get to the access point and a quick walk to the sound boardwalk. Essentially, you can watch the sun rise on the ocean side and the sunset on the sound! The house had all of the items we needed for outdoor fun! We had enough bikes for my family so it saved us the rental fee. There were also beach chairs and an umbrella which we took full advantage of. My kids really enjoyed the slide in the pool and we spent a lot of time outside enjoying the hot tub! The house was very clean, we had spent the previous week in Corolla and the housekeeper reached out to let me know that the house was available sooner than the check in time so that we could move our refrigerated items and get settled in. I highly recommend this property and can't wait to stay here again!!!

- Posted: 6/29/2020

Thank you, T. We’re so glad you had the vacation you dreamed of. It’s been a crazy, unpredictable year and we all need a break! Thankfully, Duck has remained a safe zone & Life o’Rily is a good place for a getaway.

Village Realty staff

House was very nice and the pictures in the listing are very accurate. The location was great. It was our first time in OBX and having been there we really like the Four Seasons community. It is a gated community and once you are there, it is very safe for kids to ride bikes and explore. We liked that a lot compared to just having a house on a normal street. We had a few issues but the management team taking care of the house was very responsive. Kids enjoyed the pool and the slide was a big hit!

- Posted: 6/21/2020

Thanks for making our home and Duck your first stop for an Outer Banks visit. It was a pleasure working with you . We hope you'll be back!

Village Realty staff

Life O’ Riley is a beautiful property that has great amenities that are exactly as described. The location is phenomenal as it is a short walk to the beach and a short drive/bike ride to the restaurants in Duck. Lynn and the property manager were very responsive throughout the entire process.

- Posted: 9/10/2019

Thank you, Jordan. We hope you'll return to Duck again!

Village Realty staff

We have been vacationing in Duck for the last 3 years and this property was perfect for our large group. This home is located in the desired Four Seasons community that offers many more amenities than most other communities. We enjoyed the playground and indoor pool. Had a short 5 minute walk to the beach, took our bikes into town and rode the bike trails. The house had plenty of room and each bedroom has their own bathroom which is very convenient. Kitchen was well stocked with all we needed to make breakfasts and a few lunches. The pool with the slide was a huge hit with the kids while the adults enjoyed the hot tub. We enjoyed various nearby restaurants for dinners each night and overall enjoyed our stay in Life O’Reily. Thanks so much for allowing us to stay in this beautiful home that helped make lasting memories with our family and friends. Till next year!

We're happy to know that Life o' Rily was everything you hoped for and Duck, Four Seasons and your vacation met ( or exceeded) your expectations. We hope you'll be back next year too. Thanks for your review!

Village Realty staff

This is the second summer we have stayed at Life O Riley and we still love it. There is enough space for 6 adults and 6 children to live together for a week without getting under each other's feet. The pool is fantastic (the slide is a hit with our special needs grandchildren!) and the ability to walk to the beach, the neighborhood playground and pool, and Duck Donuts (of course!) is a plus. You can't go wrong with this house!

Thank you! It was a pleasure to have your family back at Life o’Rily. We hope you’ll enjoy our home again in the future

Village Realty staff

We just love this property for our multi generational vacations! The bath-for-every-bedroom is just so nice. Our third year was just as enjoyable as the first. The location is excellent - we did our morning walk into Duck on the boardwalk every day. The beach is a short walk and the pool and slide were again a huge hit. The grandkids were up and down the slide a thousand times! Lynn is super easy and friendly to deal with. Thanks again!

Our pleasure to welcome you & yours back to Life o’Rily. The Soundfront boardwalk is also our favorite place to walk. Thanks for your Review post and for being pleasant, thoughtful guests.

Village Realty staff

Our family (18 people - 13 adults / 5 children) just completed our vacation at Life O'Rily. The house is big and comfortable for such a large group. We especially appreciated that each bedroom had its own bathroom. The location of the house is perfect. Walking distance to everything, from beach to shops. The kids loved the pool and hot tub, the slide was a big hit! Everything is well appointed and we were lacking for nothing. There were even bikes, body boards and pool / beach toys. We enjoyed playing pool in the game room and there were several Jenga competitions thanks to the board games that are on loan in the home. Communication with Lynn and the entire staff was super - proactive and thoughtful. Overall a great holiday thanks to everyone at Life O'Rily!

- Posted: 8/6/2019

Thanks for your thoughtful Review. We have a big family too and enjoy the Life o' Rily's layout, conveinences and location just as much. Glad you liked it! Please visit again sometime, it is a pleasure working with you & W.

Village Realty staff

The house is wonderful- plenty of room for our large family! We all had a great time- the only problem was the extremely hot weather which made our feet burn as we walked on the beach but we were all be together and had a great time! The management company and Lynn were great and responded to remedy the few problems we had, in record time. It was the best vacation I’ve had in a long time!!

- Posted: 7/24/2019

Thanks so much for your thoughtful review....We're always happy when the sun shines and our vacations aren't rained on! Next time we'll try to turn down the heat! It was great working with you.

Village Realty staff

Great communication with managment before and during the stay. Well-maintained property with perfect-sized pool for our group. This was our first trip to the outer banks, and we loved it!

- Posted: 7/16/2019

The house was spacious, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the community was gorgeous. The pool and hot tub were clean and well-maintained. While we initially had some issues with the toilets, the property manager addressed it promptly. We especially loved that you could walk to the restaurants and shops in Duck. Overall, we had an amazing vacation with family and friends. Thank you!

- Posted: 7/13/2019

Thank you for your feedback and review.. We’re glad to know you enjoyed Duck, Four Seasons, and Life O’ Rily so much. Your thoughtful comments are greatly appreciated! It was a pleasure working with you.

Had a wonderful time!! House was great! Kitchen fully equipped!! Pool was heavenly!!

- Posted: 6/23/2019

Thanks for letting us know Life o’ Rily fit you & yours so well

Village Realty staff

A great place to stay if vacationing with a large family or group. There are many bedrooms and bathrooms for all. This house has everything for everyone (tv's, many kitchen items, games, pak-n-play, bunk beds, pool, bikes, etc...) A five minute walk, if that, to the beach, a short walk to the clubhouse, trolley service and a mile walk to Duck are among the great options in this very nice neighborhood. We would definitely recommend this home!

- Posted: 6/3/2019

Great location, accommodating, convenient. House was perfect for our family vacation/reunion. All amenities you could ask for,

- Posted: 5/27/2019

Thanks for bringing your family to Life o' Rily for your first vacation together in the Outer Banks. It was great working with you. We're happy to know it was a great week for your group. Please remember Life o' Rily for a future visit!

It is such a warm and welcoming atmosphere we adore our time there

We're honored that Life o' Rily has been a winter retrear for you. We hope things go well for you in 2019 and you'll visit again Thanks for your thoughtful review.

The home was perfect for our girl’s trip. Lynn was very responsive. Felt right at home. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

- Posted: 10/15/2018

That's how we want Life o' Rily's guests to feel - comfortable & right at home! Thanks for being great guests, Jean. Hope you'll be back soon...

Village Realty staff

We loved staying at Life O’Rily. Unfortunately our stay was cut short due to hurricane Florence, but for the 3 days we were there we LOVED it. The kitchen is excellently equipped...there want anything we couldn’t find. Pool with the slide was a big hit. Made our not being able to be in the ocean bearable. Lots of beach chairs, bikes were a plus, and inflatable pool toys. Lots of bedrooms for everyone! Lynn was super to work with and as was the management company. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a great house for their obx vacation.

- Posted: 10/1/2018

This is our second stay at Life O’Rily and we were not disappointed!!! The property is wonderfully maintained and allows us to enjoy time as a family. Several families came together to build memories with the grand children! The pool and slide are always a hit!! I love this property and owner-I know that when I book with Lynn and Rich, that I have a peace of mind that there will be no hassles or headaches!! The families are already asking to come back for 2019 for the annual family vacation. Thank you for sharing your amazing home with us!!

- Posted: 9/10/2018

It’s a joy to know you’ve enjoyed your vacations at Life o’ Rily and a pleasure working with you. We take good care of our homes and value that. Thank you!

Village Realty staff

We loved the house - the layout was perfect for our group of 8 adults and 6 kids. The kids loved the pool, especially the slide part, and spent lots of time there. The beach was a short walk away and the sand is pristine - zero seaweed or any debris. The town of Duck can be walked to and we sometimes drove, sometimes walked. We used a local chef to bring dinners or make them at the house and that worked out very well. All told we had a great time and the kids had a blast. D.S Fairfield, CT

- Posted: 8/20/2018

Seems like you made the best of all Duck and Life o' Rily had to offer! I'll have to get the name of the private chef from you - great idea for making it 100% vacation!! Thanks for your review, D. greatly appreciated!

Village Realty staff

This is the second summer we stayed here. My three daughters, their husbands and my ten grandchildren loved the proximity to the beach and all of the wonderful amenities at the resort. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. Highly recommend!

- Posted: 7/29/2018

Thanks for coming to Life o’Rily again -Its nice when a place is familiar and everyone knows where stuff is!

Village Realty staff

Can’t say enough how Lynn & hubby worked with us from start to finish & already looking forward to next years vacation!! Sorry for the brief overview but I have nothing to add to what has already been complemented on the beautiful house & area. You will enjoy your time!!

- Posted: 6/26/2018

I think you said it all, short & sweet, Thank you, Rod.

Village Realty staff

Life O' Riley was the perfect place for our vacation this year. There were 13 of us – 7 adults with 6 children, 8 years old and under. The house was clean, well furnished, and had the right amount of space. The owner and property manager answered all our questions in a timely manner and were extremely easy to work with. This was the third year we've rented a house in the Four Seasons neighborhood, and so far this was our favorite. We hope to return next year!

- Posted: 6/23/2018

We like being #1! Thanks for letting us know Life o' Rily worked so well for your group and has been your favorite home yet in Four Seasons. We'd love for you to return - we appreciate your Review!

Village Realty staff

Awesome location! Beautiful house and pool. Water slide and water basketball hoop was a hit.

- Posted: 6/4/2018

We aim to please! We’re happy to know we hit the mark. Thanks A & S

Village Realty staff

We took 5 teenagers for spring break to this wonderful home and our first time in Outer Banks. The community in which it’s located is wonderful, so much to do just there. The town of Duck is right around the corner and the shops and eateries satisfied us all. Communication prior to our arrival with Lynn was so pleasant, with emails suggesting activities and recommendations in the local area. The home was perfect for all 7 of us, well maintained and furnished, clean and inviting. Of the areas and homes we had to choose from, this was the best choice by far.

- Posted: 4/8/2018

It was a pleasure working with you. Rich and I are so pleased that Life o' Rily was a welcoming headquarters and the perfect ambassador for your first visit to Duck and the Outer Banks. We hope you'll be back to Duck and Life o' Rily again or try out one of our homes in Corolla. When Spring Break comes later in the spring and the pool is open there's even more to do at the house! Thanks for your thoughtful review, K.C., we greatly appreciate it.

Village Realty staff

After over 20 years (we should have bought that first year:), of visits we have stayed at some amazing and some not so amazing homes. This was clearly in the great places category. We loved the location, central to both club house (key for those like us who stay in the non-beach swimming months and still close enough to walk to the beach with a cool breeze and sunshine. The owners and support folks were very helpful and in contact and engaged in making sure our stay was great.

- Posted: 3/5/2018

It was a treat to working with you too! Thanks for your considerate comments. We work hard to make Life o’ Rily a “Great Place”. So glad you thought so and enjoyed Duck 😎

Village Realty staff

Life o' Rily was the perfect choice for our extended family of 18 - from a 2 year old to her 84 year old grandmother! With 8 bedrooms and private baths for all, the large, light-filled great room on the top floor, multiple decks with tables and seating, the game room and pool area, Life o' Rily gave us plenty of room to stretch out comfortably. Everything was spotlessly clean upon our arrival and the wifi worked well. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to cook for our large gang and 2 dishwashers made clean up easy. We were happy we followed your recommendation to heat the pool for our early October stay- we all spent a lot of time jumping (and sliding) between the hot tubs and pool. The closet with bikes, beach chairs and pool toys was a plus. The Four Seasons Community fitness center and pool, convenient access to the beach and the easy bike ride to Duck gave us lots of options to keep everyone happy! Working with Lynn via email was easy, pleasant and prompt. It was a perfect week in OBX celebrating our son's wedding - topped off with spectacular weather, a full moon and the best accommodations! :-) Thanks so much! We hope to be back!

- Posted: 10/14/2017

Life o' Rily was everything we had hoped to enable our large family to make our vacation a wonderful memory. It had been years since we could get schedules planned together (ages 73 to 2 -- all 18 of us) and we were not disappointed. The home was clean and homey and well supplied -- in fact, we have never stayed in a rental with so many kitchen items and the 2 dishwashers made life easy for dinner cleanup. There were activities for all of us -- beach, kayak touring, jet skiis, swimming inside and out, restaurants, and local entertainment nearby. Any of our wishes or needs were met PROMPTLY by the staff we were assigned to. Just can't say enough about the convenience of "Four Seasons Community" being located in the center of Duck and one of our family members summed it up with "this vacation home couldn't be any more perfect for a large family"!!

- Posted: 8/29/2017

We aim for perfection! Great to know we hit the mark for You & Yours. We feel the same way about the Four Seasons community and its location, it the best place in Duck. Thanks for being there - L & R

Village Realty staff

It was clean, organized and had everything for the entire family to enjoy. Kitchen was all labeled to make finding things even easier. Kids enjoyed the slide and adults the hot tubs. Had two hicups during our stay but were quickly resolved once we called. Loved the responsiveness at all times (before, during and after our stay). Would definitely recommend without hesitation. Very close to town too

- Posted: 8/27/2017

Good to know you had a good time at Life o' Rily and all ages were satisfied. We work hard trying not to "hiccups' but things can happen anyways. I'm glad our property manager answered your call promptly took good care of you. Hiccups are one thing - indigestion is completely unacceptable!!! Thanks for your review, M., please come again.

Village Realty staff

Our four-generation group returned to Life O'Rily for a second year in early August for another wonderful week. We noticed some added touches and investments in the property since last year which show the TLC that owner Lynn puts into it. Once again, we loved the place (and the bathrooms for every bedroom - so nice!!) and found ourselves hanging at the pool and hot tubs (two of them which is awesome) and watching the whole family from great-grandpa to the two 3-year olds on the slide and having a great time. Golf at Kilmarlic, Duck Donuts, walks on the beach all filled our days. We have a conflict for 2018 but have already booked our return visit for 2019! Thanks, Lynn, for another fabulous week in Duck!

- Posted: 8/24/2017

I wish I saw Great Grandpa go down the slide!! Thanks for your review - It's a true joy to us to have extended families getting together and having a great time at Life o' Rily. It's the incentive and the reward for putting a lot of time & effort into annual off season maintenace & upgrades and having a local team that helps us keep things in shape during the busy rental season. Our family is scattered all over the USA; our annual vacation week is the only time we're all together....it's got to be good!

Village Realty staff

We had an amazing week at Life O' Riley. The house was absolutely beautiful. There were 16 of us in the house and there was plenty of room and you never felt congested. The kids loved the water slide at the pool and loved the pool table in the basement game room. Each bedroom had its own bathroom which was quite convenient. Loved sitting on the top deck in the mornings enjoying my coffee and in the evenings enjoying a cocktail. The owners were amazing. Very quick to reply to emails or phone calls with any questions we had. They also offered helpful advice to which golf courses to play. Don't forget to go to Duck Donuts and enjoy those wonderful creations. Thank you again for letting us stay in your beautiful home.

- Posted: 8/8/2017

You hit some of our favorite highlights, too....we love those Donuts, hahaha. And the golf, And being able to fit our family of 16, And Duck Village & community. It was a pleasure to share our home with you. You are wonderful guests and pleasant to work with. We hope you'll return to Life o' Rily. Thanks, Tim!

Village Realty staff

We spent our first week in the Outer Banks at this wonderful home and had one of our best vacation stays EVER! We have a large extended family (18) and the accommodations were perfect. The home was immaculate when we arrived. The Wi Fi was fast and worked for all of our devices. The pool was just the right size and the kids loved the slide! We liked that it was a short walk or shuttle to the beach and the community pool was also very nice. We decided after just a few days to rent the home for next year!

- Posted: 7/30/2017

We love Happy Campers and we're happy to have You & Yours returning! All kidding aside, we feel great satisfaction when Life o' Rily earns a review like yours. We feel a sincere clear sense of responsibility to our guests to make our vacation home, and your experience there, a high quality one. Thank you, M.

Village Realty staff

We recently rented Life O'Rily to accommodate family traveling to the area for a wedding in Duck. The house was perfect!! Family ranging in age from 6 months to 80 years old. The rooms are all decorated very nicely, the beds are so comfortable and the house is equipped with all needed supplies , plus some. The downstairs game room and bedrooms are perfect for those staying up later at night. We also took advantage of the bicycles, the club house gym and the membership at the Kilmaric Golf Club. It was absolutely perfect!!! Thank you Lynn for all, it was a pleasure and great experience.

- Posted: 11/27/2016

Thanks for choosing Life o' Rily for your family's headquarters. We're happy our home worked so well for you & yours and you enjoyed all the amenities of the Four Seasons community. Cheers!

Village Realty staff

This house was a great first try for us and our friends 1st annual trip to the OBX. The house fit all the adults and kids perfect- it was a plus for everyone to have their own bathroom. It was a clean house all around. The pool was a hit with everyone, especially the slide. The house was equipped with all we needed- towels, bedding, beach equipment, kitchen gadgets and cooking utensils. It's was nice being so close to Duck. Lynn, the owner was so pleasant and responsive. I recommend this house as a must.

- Posted: 9/7/2016

Life o' Rily was your first visit to the Outer Banks & Duck?!? We're honored and hope we set the bar high! Thanks for trusting Life o' Rily to be the right place.

Village Realty staff

Life O'Riley was the perfect place for our four-generation family getaway. Others have touted how well-equipped it is and what a wonderful development Four Seasons is, and we can only echo the same. What we loved: 1. Private baths for each of the eight bedrooms. We were five couples, four young grandkids, great grandpa, an aunt and niece. So nice to have mini suites for everyone! Plus a spare "public" half-bath off the upstairs kitchen / dining / living area if you needed it. 2. Pool, slide and two hot tubs. Everyone loved the slide including great grandpa. We spent more time here than at the beach which is a short walk away - and the beach is super. Lifeguards, great sand and miles of it! 3. Duck. The town is adorable and an easy walk. Four Seasons is the last turn before you arrive at Duck so you're really right there. Duck Donuts were a multi-day hit and we took advantage of the shops and restaurants. Recommend the boardwalk, then The Blue Point for dinner! 4. Condition - on arrival, the place was truly spotless. We gave it a good going over when we left, but I know the team would really make it shine for the next guests based on what we experienced. With four generations, we did en masse beach time or split up for golf at Kilmarlic, others going into town and others hanging out poolside and rejoin for dinner then hot tub & more pool time or shooting-pool time later on. Relaxing, fun and over far too soon! Lynn and team are on top of any feedback you give them. Super easy to work with - so much so that we've already booked our week for 2017! Can't wait to get back! Thanks, Lynn!

Good to know we've got the right house and the right town for You & Yours. Thanks for an informative review. We really appreciate and other travelers will too. Glad you're returning next year. Thanks!

Village Realty staff

Just returned from a week at Life O'Riley with three generations of our family and loved the house. I have been renting in NC, DE or MD beaches for the past 20 summers and have never found a home so well equipped. I usually bring my own kitchen gadgets and cooking utensils, no need. The kitchen had everything you could need including a roaster, crock pot, waffle iron and griddle to make feeding a crowd easy. The well stocked guest closet with beech chairs, bikes for adults and kids and just about everything else you need for the beach/pool was great. The beds were very comfortable as were the couches. The kids loved having their own pool/game/living room and the adults appreciated that the home has two hot tubs, a large pool and slide and that each bedroom had its own bathroom, flat screen TV and access to a deck (except one that is about 20 feet from the sliders to the pool). The location was great, especially for being able to walk or bike to just about everything. We really enjoyed spending time at the beach and the Duck shops/boardwalk, both were an easy walk from the house. In the afternoon when the kids were to tired for the walk, the community offers a shuttle around the complex to the beach and main road. Lynn was very easy to book with, her manager was great at coordinating our check in and kept in regular contact with us. We of course were one of those families who broke something, the lock to the sliding glass door, but maintenance replied to us immediately, making the repair in about an hour. Overall it was a great house that allowed for a great week at the beach, we will stay at Life O'Riley again and are looking forward to it. A note about the check in and check out. Your paperwork will ask you nicely not to go directly to the house to try to check in early and to call the manager instead.....this will be a benefit to you at check out....I have rented at other houses and been asked to wipe down all the surfaces, vacuum, sweep/mop and so on at check out before the cleaners come in, that is not the case at Life O'Riley and I loved that....you have a minimal check list and are on your way back home. The reason you don't have a lot to do at check out is because of how meticulous the cleaning crew is after you leave...... don't interrupt the cleaning crew.

We have been coming this week to outer banks for 7 years. We (ladies family) oldest is 75 youngest is 8. Your house has everything. The best equipped ever. I can see why this development has won awards. Beach side, indoor poo,l outdoor pool, playground , gym, sound side park. most importantly was the ease of renting from lynn. specifically Life O'Riley , bikes beach equipment (new) 7 houses to the beach. Beds were comfortable life was great at your house thank you again.

We couldn't be happier about your happy experience at Life o' Rily or your Wonderful review. We need to start having a ladies family week too! Great idea. - Thank you,

Village Realty staff

We just got back from a week at the Life O'Riley (6/4/16 - 6/11/16). Thirteen family members of three generations stayed together for a week and the only squabbles heard were when it was time to go home. With eight bedrooms, 8 1/2 bathrooms, a private pool with slide, a pool table, and much more no one ever felt squeezed for space. It is an easy walk to the beach. This is the only house we rented in the past eight years that include a variety of bikes for kids and adults. No need to pack boogie boards or sand toys....there was plenty there for a big crowd. Another thing all the adults commented about was the privacy of the back side of the house where the pool and hot tubs (2) are located. We were in the pool and hot tubs a lot and with all the mature bushes and trees it seemed like we were on a private oasis. We hope to get a large family group together again for another trip to the Life O'Riley. Thanks Lynn for all your hospitality.

- Posted: 6/15/2016

We're so glad your family felt they were in a home that provided the privacy, comfort and amenities that make a vacation home top quality. The bikes and beach equipment are a must have to us! Thanks for your post

Village Realty staff

My family and I spent a week at Life o' Riley and enjoyed our time there immensely. The home is warm and inviting, as well as spacious. There are two dishwashers in the kitchen, and that was so nice. It made cleanup much easier. We also appreciated the bikes that were available to us. We had brought some, but the extra ones came in handy. It is conveniently located near the beach entrance, and biking distance from the shops. Most of all, Lynn was so enjoyable to deal with in making our plans. We would definitely stay there again.

- Posted: 6/8/2016

Our pleasuring working with you as well, Mary! Thanks for your thoughtful comments. We hope you'll bring the family back again.

Village Realty staff

We stayed for a week in Life o'Riley and loved it! The four seasons community was welcoming and had all the amenities promised in the advertisement. The house itself was in great shape and all the new furnishings really made a difference. The house had a nice modern feel to it. The house was clean when we arrived. One of the perks that we really enjoyed was that they provided bicycles for us to use to go around the community. It was also helpful to get back and forth from the beach as its about a 5 min walk. This trip was a low key bachelor party for me and my friends. We enjoyed every minute of it! Thanks Life O' Riley for the memories!!

- Posted: 5/25/2016

Glad you were having a low key batchelor party, Thanks for that!!! I heard from the Four Seasons Clubhouse staff that you guys were really nice and they were happy you had a good time there. So are we, Thank you for staying at Life o' Rily & Congratulations.

Village Realty staff

When gathering family from five states and great distances, the destination has to be good and Life 0'Rily did not disappoint. We ranged in age from 4months to 70+, filled every bed and enjoyed every moment of our 50th wedding anniversary celebration there. Vacation rentals are rarely as well equipped, comfortable and attractive as Life o'Rily. The Four Seasons Community was likewise unusually attractive, well planned and maintained, with many family friendly amenities. Our week there flew by far too quickly in spite of poor weather and when Saturday morning arrived we all hated to leave. The owners were a pleasure to work with, gracious and tirelessly helpful with all our questions. They have put a great deal of thought into making their house as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

- Posted: 10/1/2015

Thanks for celebrating a delightful family milestone and a significant personal accomplishment at Life o' Rily. We're proud & honored that our home played a part in your family's celebration.

Village Realty staff

Our group of 7 adults and 6 young kids spent a week here and had a great time! The house was very clean! The pool was in the sun all day and stayed at a comfortable temperature. Adult and kids had fun going down the water slide. It is a short walk to the beach and it is an easy walk with sidewalks and the speed bumps throughout the neighborhood keep the cars going slow. There is also a trolley that comes around quite often and will stop to pick you up anywhere which was very helpful at the end of a long day with the kids. There were several beach chairs, beach toys and bikes provided for our use. The extra fridge in the basement made it so we didn't have to go to the grocery story everyday because there was room for food for our group of 14 for the whole week. There were many dishes for use and two dishwashers which made cleanup easy. We had a great time and look forward to coming back again!

- Posted: 9/6/2015

It's very rewarding for us to receive a review like yours - Thank you all. We work diligently to maintain and upgrade Life o' Rily so our guests have a high quality vacation home to call 'home' during your time in the Outer Banks. We hope you'll be coming back in the future!

Village Realty staff

This was our family's first time in Duck and we loved it! This home was lovely and very well equipped. All of us, from the oldest at 80 years old to the youngest at 3 enjoyed the pool and hot tubs. We rode the bikes into town, played pool, used the beach chairs provided and slept well in the comfortable beds. Nick and the owners are so nice and very informative.

- Posted: 8/28/2015

Duck, and the Outer Banks, is a special place. We strive to make a strong first impression and meet our guests expectations for a wonderful home too

Village Realty staff

We had the best vacation ever at Life O'Rily! Such a beautiful house, comfortable throughout, with plenty of space in the kitchen/great room for everyone to be together to visit and have fun. We all love to cook, so we found the well-equipped, spacious kitchen a delight to work in. I thought the kids would especially enjoy the pool, but the adults all took a turn trying to get the basketball through the hoop while going down the slide, too! It's an easy walk to the beach, but sometimes we used the trolley, which was a lovely convenience. The boardwalk was also a lot of fun, with shopping, restaurants (great seafood at Aqua), and the best doughnuts (Duck Donuts) I have ever eaten! We had one small maintenance issue that was addressed promptly. Overall, Life O'Rily is a five-star experience!

- Posted: 8/25/2015

We want You & Yours to have the best vacation ever at Life o' Rily - Mission Accomplished! Thanks for letting us know - it makes our day.

Our family recently enjoyed vacationing at this beach home. It was quite tastefully decorated throughout. We had younger children and older teenagers in our group. The layout is well thought out and met our needs very well. Having a bathroom with all the eight bedrooms was huge! Access to the plentiful decks from most of the rooms was a plus. The kitchen was well equipped with every appliance we needed. Our teenagers enjoyed the 4 bicycles provided. The most used pool toy by children as well as adults was the basketball set. They all loved it! We are all avid basketball fans anyway!! The pool slide was also enjoyed. Lynn, the owner, was wonderful to work with and her response time was always prompt. We would highly recommend this Life O'Rily beach home for a fun filled family vacation! You're sure to make good memories there...we did!!

Every three years our family of 18 takes a week to celebrate our family. Three years ago I found this home on VRBO. We really enjoyed the home, amenities, beach and Duck in general. While planning our trip for this year, our family asked to return to the same house. We have found that we enjoy the location, the house layout and especially the pool. The house is set up for a family group to have everything they need for a relaxing week of fun and sun. We had an issue with the clothes dryer. As soon as I called, they were on site to repair it and get it working again. I found the owners to be great to work with us and the managers response time great. Next time we are booking a vacation we will definitely look here again.

- Posted: 6/28/2015

We were a group of 10 adults and 8 children ranging from 6-16. We all had a fabulous time in this home. It was a short walk to beach and close enough to the boardwalk in Duck. There are four bikes that made our trip a lot of fun and plenty of beach chairs in the outside cliset. We are planning to return next year and we can't wait!

- Posted: 6/6/2015

Come One, Come All! Thanks for your review. So glad you had great weather Mother Nature was good to you!

Life o'Reilly was a nice home with comfortable beds & a good layout to the home. Spring in Four Seasons is always a nice getaway. This is our 1st time renting by owner. Definitely a positive experience. The owners take great pride in their home & try to make it comfy for renters and remain accessible if a need arises. Will definitely consider it again for Duck vacations.

Duck in the spring is a great getaway spot. The Outer Banks "shoulder seasons" are becoming the new seasons to explore in the spring and the fall. Thanks for trying out VRBO and our home, in particular. We take great pride in both!

I can't say enough great things about this house. It had everything we needed for a wonderful family beach vacation with 10 adults and 4 kids! The pools was the perfect size for the little ones, and the slide was a great hit. Everything was clean when we arrived and the house has just about every kitchen appliance that you can think of, which definitely makes cooking for a large crowd a lot easier. The house was definitely kid friendly, with lots of place for the kids to play where we could keep an eye on them. And the beach was only a short walk away. The house is also very well built, making the rooms very quiet and easier for afternoon naps for the little ones. Our only complaint was that the vacuum cleaners needed a little cleaning themselves before we used them. And Lynn, Rich & Nick were all extremely helpful and attentive both leading up to our vacation and during our vacation. I would definitely recommend this for any family or group looking to have a nice beach vacation in the Outer Banks for a great price.

We had such an enjoyable stay at Life O Rily! The house was spacious and comfortable for all. Our kids especially loved the slide, pool and hot tubs..The amenities were a great bonus! We would highly recommend Life O Rily:)

Thank you, one & all Port Jeff families, for choosing Life o' Rily for your Outer Banks headquarters. It was a pleasure!

Village Realty staff

We stayed at this house for one week, and what a great week it was!! Very neat and clean, lots of space for all 16 of us. Having the trolley stop right out front, bonus! But you really didn't need, it was a short maybe 10 minute walk, another bonus! The house was everything we expected it to be, and more. The kids could not get enough of the slide, and the two hot tubs were a big hit. Also very convenient, the back bedrooms with their own decks and them opening up to be able to get to the pool. We used the upstairs outside large deck off the family room quite a bit, great location to hangout. It was really great vacation at a fantastic house, we hated to leave. Til next time OBX!!!!

- Posted: 8/16/2014

Till next time!! We'll keep on working to make Life o' Rily a place you'll be excited to return to. Thank you all for coming :)

Life O'Rily is a fantastic beach house in a beautiful area! It was clean upon arrival (including all fresh linens in sealed plastic in every room), well maintained, had lots of updates (like appliances and furniture), had a great layout, and was very nicely decorated. It was centrally located in the Four Seasons community - walking distance to the recreation center, community pool, and beach - and for those who didn't want to walk, the trolley went by frequently to get you to wherever you wanted to go. The town of Duck was also in walking distance with plenty to do and see there. The kitchen was well appointed with all the cabinets, lights, etc. being labeled, making it very easy to find everything. We cooked every night and there was always room for everyone to sit and eat together. The two dishwashers were great - we had them both filled daily! The entertainment choices in the house were fantastic: two living rooms with big screen TV's/Blu-ray/DVD players with access to the owner's Netflix, pool table, big pool with slide, and two jacuzzis. We brought some of our own board games, but there were also games/cards available. The storage room had everything you needed for a beach vacation: plenty of beach chairs, beach toys, umbrella, and a cart to carry everything to the beach (a HUGE help!), bikes, fishing gear, tennis racquets, and pool toys. The many decks were great for relaxing and enjoying the mornings and beautiful sunsets. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and do different things OR be all together! We had a few minor maintenance issues, but the handyman, Nick, was quick to respond and fix them. We had a GREAT time and would definitely return to Life O'Rily!

- Posted: 8/16/2014

Thanks for the informative response, we couldn't explain it better! And thank you just for visiting and enjoying yourselves.

Village Realty staff

With 16 of us we were worried we might feel crowded, but that was not the case. The property was roomy and well equipped, and the kids could be in the game room and pool/slide while the old goats were preparing meals, having happy hour(s), etc. The owners were very helpful and responsive, clearly wanting to make sure everyone had a good time. It was our third time in Duck, and the best we experienced. Everything was conveniently at hand, and the OB is always great. Would recommend to anyone.

- Posted: 7/23/2014

We like knowing that Life o' Rily suited you & yours perfectly. Duck and the Outer Banks is always a pleasure to us too. Thanks.

Village Realty staff

Our family group of 10 adults and 4 children just loved this house - it had everything we needed for a perfect vacation! The house was clean, nicely decorated and everything was in working order. Plenty of space for everyone to be together for meals or gathering to enjoy the spacious decks for morning coffee or afternoon drinks. Enough bedrooms & bathrooms for everyone to have their own...the double bunk room was a big hit with the grandchildren. The kitchen was very well equipped - we cooked big meals almost every night and had everything we needed - 2 dishwashers were nice! The guest storage room was filled with beach chairs, toys, bikes, fishing poles, umbrella, and more - definitely the best I've ever seen. There was plenty of parking; we had 5 cars and everyone could come and go easily without moving cars around. We especially enjoyed the K Club membership the owner provided and golfed at Kilmaric for a great rate! The owner Lynn was wonderful to deal with, even contacting us when Hurricane Arthur stopped in for a brief visit. If you're looking for a great home in Four Seasons, check out Life o' Rily - you won't be disappointed.

- Posted: 7/10/2014

Life o' Rily and we try to make it everything a family could hope for. We're glad you made good use of it all and came home with happy memories. Thanks for your review.

Village Realty staff

My family and I spent a fabulous week at Life O'Riley and it was wonderful!! The house had everything one would need and extra.. It was clean, spacious, beautiful, and had a peaceful family atmosphere to it. The week we stayed, the weather was in the 80s, sunny, and the breeze from the beach was just breath taking.. The advertisement and pictures of property were so accurate. The owners were terrific, helpful, answered all our questions before arrival. Lynn kept in touch to make sure everything was to our satisfactory. Our contact person Nick was helpful as well and very pleasant. I would definitely recommend this property to families or just a group get away.

- Posted: 6/11/2014

Thanks for letting us know you all had a great stay. May & early June are blessed with great weather. Glad you were pleased with the service that Nick & I provided too!

Village Realty staff

We just spent the most enjoyable week of our lives here with 13 family members for a long overdue family reunion. They came from far and wide and just wanted a place to relax---this house has it all. Over 3 floors you have all 8 bedrooms - one of them being a double bunk bed room which was great for the younger ones. The large kitchen and great room accomodate your family with plenty of seating in the dining area. We loved cooking in and sitting around the table reconnecting. Afternoons were spent in the back in the pool and using the hottubs. This house has it all - furnished very nicely. It was a pleasure to enjoy Lynn & Richard's beautiful home for our vacation! The Duck area is easily accessible and so is the beach. Wonderful location in Four Seasons!

- Posted: 6/5/2014

Family reunions are one of favorite occasions. We think the house is well suited to different ages, tastes and interests. So glad it worked out for you - and the golf, too!

Village Realty staff

My family and I rented the house for the week before Memorial Day. We varied in age from 20-65. The house is quaint enough to where we could find each other but large enough that we all had our own space. 2 hot tubs and heated pool were perfect. The pool table on the 1st floor was extremely well placed. Each bedroom was very comfortable. Very clean, great amenities, close to everything, well maintained, smartTV was a huge plus, great kitchen, decks, hammocks... I could go on forever but you must experience it for yourself.

- Posted: 5/25/2014

Fantastic! We do the best we can and it's great to know how much you enjoyed Life O' Rily. Thank you

Village Realty staff

We were a group of 12 adults who had so much fun at this house. The kitchen was very well stocked and labeled and the "common space" was perfect. The owner was very nice. We would definitely come back again to this house.

- Posted: 1/8/2014

We had such a wonderful time staying at Life O' Riley in Duck this year. Everything was clean and inviting with plenty of room for our family to spread out! All the outside deck areas were so pleasant with nice private places to sit and relax. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and pool area! The pool was heated to a perfect temperature. Another benefit is the house's proximity to the sound where we could put in our kayaks...very close! Lynn was so helpful and accommodating! We can't wait to come back next year!

- Posted: 10/28/2013

We're glad that kayaking in Currituck Sound was fun and easy for you & yours. We'll add that suggestion to the 'close & easy ocean access' that we like to emphasize. We look forward to your return, Thank you!

Village Realty staff

The only thing missing in this vacation was our two sons, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren. We were very impressed on how well the home was maintained. It provided us with comfortable furniture and all the appliances you will ever need and then some. There were enough TV's and games to make everybody happy. With the amount of people we had, the eight and a half baths and two hot tubs delighted everybody. Basically the home was beautiful and made everybody feel at home. Can't wait for next year.

- Posted: 9/18/2013

There's room for more -We hope the whole family makes it next year!

Village Realty staff

We had a wonderful trip and wonderful stay! The house is amazing. The owners were a pleasure to deal with! The house is within walking distance of shops and beach. Highly recommend this place to future travelers!

- Posted: 9/12/2013

Thanks Heather - we love the walkability of Duck, too. There's not many places this pleasant and scenic left!

Village Realty staff

Our family just spent a wonderful week at Life O Rily. There were 17 of us, and we had plenty of space for everyone without ever feeling crowded. The two dishwashers in the kitchen were greatly appreciated. We also made great use of the large capacity washer and dryer in the laundry room. The grandkids loved the freedom of riding their bikes to one of the two recreation centers within the Four Seasons community. The fact that the town of Duck is within walking distance is a big plus. The pool with the slide was also a big hit! Lynn, the owner, was very easy to work with in getting everything set up for our stay. We would definitely consider renting this house again in the future!

- Posted: 8/28/2013

We'd love to have your & yours return! We always work on improvements off season to make Life o' Rily better every year... send us some ideas. Thanks for visiting Four Seasons in Duck, NC

Village Realty staff

We had three families stay together for a wonderfully relaxing vacation at this house. It was spacious, clean and met all of our needs. The pool is a good size and helped to entertain our teenagers after the beach. The community is located within walking distance of many nice restaurants, shops and water sports. The owners were wonderful to deal with and made our visit very turnkey. It was our first experience in the Outer Banks as a family and we will definitely be back!

- Posted: 8/15/2013

It's our mission to ensure "first timers" to Duck and the Outer Banks have a great experience. We want you back!

Village Realty staff

The house was great for our family- there were 18 of us (6 kids; 12 adults) and we never felt crowded. The beds were esp. comfortable and the bathrooms also very nice. The pool w/slide was a big hit with our grandkids (not many pools have this) and the hot tubs were also great though we could have survived easily with one. The kitchen was roomy and bright ( we used it a lot ); two dishwashers are a lifesaver! A great location - near the beach w/a very nice playground area and larger pool midway between the house and beach. It was a short walk to the clubhouse where we enjoyed the tennis courts which were very nice and accessible. Also near by (walking distance) were many shops and restaurants in Duck. Enjoyed the bike/walking/running path too. Good wifi and tv reception and wonderful large capacity washer and dryer - THANK YOU!! All in all a great place for a large family to spend a week together!

- Posted: 8/12/2013

Our family had a wonderful time staying here. Everything was perfect. There was plenty of space for all 13 of us. The house had great amenities and met all of our needs. The furniture and beds were comfortable and there was plenty of outdoor furniture. Everything was very clean. the owners were very helpful in answering all of our questions. We highly recommend staying here. You won't be disappointed.

- Posted: 7/10/2013

It's our goal to have something for everyone to enjoy and plenty of space to do it. We like knowing the house was perfect! Thank you.

Village Realty staff

My husband and I, along with a couple of our children, spent the week at Life O'Rily to celebrate our 30th Anniversary and my birthday. Prior to our stay, we did contact the owner and she was most helpful in answering our questions and working with our schedule. The house was clean, very well maintained, and located within walking distance to the beach. We would definitely try to stay here again, and highly recommend this property to anyone interested. Blue Point Bar and Grill is our favorite restaurant down that way -- we frequent the Duck/Corolla area in the summer and fall. Tried Aura for the first time, and also enjoyed our fare there. Prefer Red Sky for lunch. I also enjoy the shops at Scarborough Faire, especially The Urban Cottage. Love the beach in the Duck area -- spent a lot of time just sunning. Should you choose to stay at Life O'Rily -- enjoy all the area has to offer!

- Posted: 5/30/2013

Duck is a good place for a celebration. Thanks for the suggestions - and we'd add the deceptively located Coastal Provisions for lunch, dinner & catering, Duck Deli for carryout BarBQue & Breakfast, a table in the Bar area at Roadside and TexMex at Coastal Cantina on the Soundfront Walk. Duck Donuts in the morning and a bike ride, Mmmmm.....

Village Realty staff

I stayed at Life O'Rily over Thanksgiving week with my children, my siblings and their families. We had a wonderful time and having the house as a comfortable home base was key. The layout is great, the upstairs great room and game room on the first floor provide plenty of space for different activities. We all took advantage of the hot tubs (there are two)...a great way to get in the water on a cold day. The house is well equipped...with everything we needed to cook and serve Thanksgiving dinner. We even made use of the beach chairs for a warm afternoon visit to the beach. I've been to many houses on the Outer Banks and can say this is one of the best values that we've found. Beautiful house and well located location.!

- Posted: 12/4/2012

A review like yours from a seasoned Outer Banks visitor makes the Life o' Rily team very proud and happy. Thanks for your generous remarks - And Many More Happy Holidays!

Village Realty staff

The house is beautiful - nicely updated and well kept! This is the nicest property we've stayed at in the Four Seasons community in Duck. Lots of bedrooms and ktichen supplies. Main living area/kitchen area is a nice size and has all the amenities. Nice short walk to beach and to town. Lynn was great to work with and answered all questions promptly. Highly recommended.

- Posted: 9/18/2012

Thanks Laura, we really appreciate your review and hope you'll consider a return to Life o' Rily.

Village Realty staff

This 8 bedroom 81/2 bath house easily accommodated our large family,5 adults and 8 children. The house was perfectly situated within walking distance of the beach and town. The children loved playing in the pool with the slide and spent more time in the 2 hot tubs than the adults. What impressed us most was when we had some minor problems such as how to work that DVD,help was instantaneously on the way!Nick,our "go to" handy man was always available and kept the pool area spotless. The greatest compliment we could pay is to say that our grandchildren who have spent a number of years at Kiawah Island, said they would far prefer to return to Duck and this house. So would we!!!A final word-Lynn, the owner, was wonderful to deal with and couldn't have been nicer.

- Posted: 9/4/2012

Thank you all. It was a pleasure working with you. A special thanks to your dicriminating grandkids! We can't be more tickled to know they like Duck and Life o' Rily better than our sKiawah Island - and a shorter drive for you, too.

Village Realty staff

We starated our trip with an injuried party member and it turned out to be the best place to rest up and heal. My husband was hit be a car a week before we were to arrive at Life O Rily. He spent the entire week in the hospital and then we shipped off to our vacation. We arrived at the front gate a bit early for check in and the man behind the desk could not be more accommodating as far as making my husband comfortable in the rec center before our home was ready. From the moment we got out of the car until the day we pulled out we could not be more pleased. The house itself was lovely. We were especially happy to each have our own bathrooms. The hot tubs were a huge hit with my husband who would venture out in the middle of the night when he could not sleep. They were a Godsend. The kitchen was well equiped and we never wanted for anything. There were plenty of utensils and at first I thought to myself why do we need two dishwashers. Well, it became very clear why the second dishwasher was necessary and we used it regularly. The short walk to the beach was not an issue even with the small children. There was a trolly that you could take if you wanted. There were plenty of extra chairs and an umbrella for the beach as well. The pool was wonderful to have right out back. If I have any complaints at all it was not about the house or the community it was situated in. My only complaint was the amount of traffic and crowds in town. But I do also understand when it rains the only thing to do is go into town. We did have two and a half days of rain but no one can control the weather. We would return to Life O Rily at any moment and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

- Posted: 8/31/2012

Good to know Life o' Rily was a good place to heal as well as a Blast! Thanks for choosing our home for your family's vacation - we hope you return in the future and that everyone's strong and healthy now.

Village Realty staff

We stayed at Life o'Rily for one week in August 2012 and it was the perfect vacation house for us! We traveled with a total of 6 families (12 adults and 9 children - all under the age of 5!). We arrived early on Sunday and was able to check into the clubhouse immediately. Since the house wasn't to be ready until 4pm, we grabbed a quick bite to eat at Fishbones (less than one mile away) and planned to go swimming at the community pool. Much to our surprise, the house was ready by 3pm and we were able to use our private pool instead! The pool was the biggest attraction for the kids. We were a little nervous about the slide, but it's the perfect size and our little ones had a BLAST with it. The upstairs kitchen/living room/dining room had plenty of space and was great for entertaining our large group. There are two grills (gas and charcoal) in the pool area which we used for BBQing lunches and our huge seafood feast! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked (we cooked every night) and the entertainment area on the ground floor was a hit with everyone. Lynn and Rich provides guests with beach chairs, umbrellas, fishing equipment and a beach caddy for carrying all your gear. The beach is about a 7 minute walk away. There is also parking at the outdoor pool (which is directly across from the beach access) or the community trolly comes around quite frequently to bring you back and forth. There are also 4 cruiser bikes which we used to ride to the beach as well as various stores/restaurants. Everything you need (food, ice cream, shopping, entertainment, boardwalk, etc) is all within walking distance. For those looking to stay active during your stay, there is a clubhouse at the community entrance with a gym, indoor pool and tennis courts. There is also a running/biking path that begins right outside the community and runs along the main road. Lynn and Rich have decorated the house tastefully and comfortably. There was plenty of storage and space for our crew! We couldn't have asked for a better place to start our annual OBX tradition! Lynn is an ABSOLUTE sweetheart and a pleasure to work with. She is prompt in responding to any questions or concerns you have ahead of time. I HIGHLY recommend this property to anyone looking for a vacation house in Duck.

Thank you for a perfect review - I promise anyone reading this it's entirely from Jenn and I didn't have a thing to do with this informative, comprehensive and flattering review! It's very satisfying for us to know you had such a great time. What a great group of friends you have....wonder how many kids there will be next year!? :) We hope to hear from you again if this becomes a tradition.

Village Realty staff

This was a first for our family and we all had a great time at Life o' Riley. With six youngsters 6 and under, it was great to have the pool with a slide for the ones who didn't nap, or for a quick dip before dinner. With every family having their own bedroom and bath, and even the kids being able to sleep in separate rooms, we enjoyed all the Four Seasons amenities well rested. The sons-in-law loved the hot tubs, and the kitchen and family room layout was great. Thanks, Lynn and Richard, for a fun family beach week.

- Posted: 8/9/2012

We 're glad this was a successful family first and hope you'll do it again in the future. Duck and Four Seasons are great communities for family vacations There's nothing like the Outer Banks! It was our pleasure to provide a home to you and yours.

Village Realty staff

We have been to the Outer Banks before and wanted to revisit with our huge extended family (23 and counting!). I searched through dozens of houses before settling on this one and was a little nervous. When you have 4 sisters-in-law and a mother-in-law to please, who knew what they would find wrong?? Turns out, not one thing! Everything single person in the family praised everything about the house--location (just a short walk to the beach), safe family neighborhood, ease of walking to restaurants and stores, variety of activities to do including pools, basketball, bike paths, loved the house pool with slides, two hot tubs, luxurious bedrooms with a separate bath for each, and a family room and a kitchen that actually accomodated everyone at one time. This house was perfect for our needs and the owner thought of everything that would make our stay pleasant. If you're looking for the perfect location, look no farther, this is it.

- Posted: 7/5/2012

Thanks for such a happy review from your family. We loved it!

Village Realty staff

We found this house to be very comfortable for our family and had it everything that we wanted: quick access to the beach, a great pool and hot tubs, close to shopping in Duck, well-equipped with recreational equipment (4 bikes, fishing equipment, kid toys, beach umbrella, chairs and boogie boards!) and in one of the best communities in Duck. The house itself is laid out well, with the top floor kitchen, dining and gathering place for large families, and a game room and theatre on the ground level, with bedrooms on the floor in between. The community resources are also first class with both indoor and outdoor pools, fishing dock, tennis and basketball courts, a great clubhouse with weight and cardio rooms, and a kids playground. We made good use of all of it, including the community trolley that travels around the community to transport guests. Lynn was great in communicating to us both before and after our visit, and was very easy to work with. We highly recommend this house for a great beach vacation in the Outer Banks!

- Posted: 7/5/2012

Thanks Eric for a great summary on the Four Seasons Community and the conveniences and amenities. Glad to see that Life o' Rily fit your family's needs and expectations. Your family was active!

Village Realty staff

We hosted my kids and grandkids for a week of family fun. The 17 of us including nine children 12 and younger all felt this house was well laid out for our size family. Each bedroom having its own bath was a very big plus. The labels all around the house made it very convenient to quickly organize and find what we needed. The pool and spas were very well suited to many hours of family fun. When we arrived, we found the house cleaned and ready for us to occupy. The coupon for free Duck Donuts was a very nice touch. When we came up with one issue, Nick was quick to respond. Lynn was easy to work with before our arrival. We have a family vacation every three years. It is too early to determine, but this would be on our list of places to revisit.

- Posted: 6/12/2012

Mmmm....Donuts! And we love Family Reunions too! Thanks for making Life o' Rily part of your vacation plan. You can never have enough bathrooms with 9 grandkids under 12. :)

Village Realty staff

We had a large group of 21 including 7 couples and 7 kids (6 under 2). The house was a perfect fit with the 7 king or queen bed rooms. Lynn (the owner) was very accommodating, responsive and nice. The house is well within walking distance to the beach and we all had plenty of room to stretch our legs inside. The pool area is very nice, including 2 Jacuzzis and plenty of pool furniture for all. We had two very minor maintenance issues and their handy man Nick was at the house promptly to fix. We had a wonderful experience and would certainly stay at this house again. As a group we have been visiting the OBX for over a decade (several stays in Four Seasons) and this house is on the top of our list for next year.

Thanks for the great comments, Ben. We appreciate your post.It's gratifying to know you're planning to return next year and another stay in Life o' Rily in Duck may be part of your plans.

My family stayed here for the week and had a wonderful time. The house was great for families and the kids loved the pool. We would love to stay here again!

Village Realty staff

Beautiful, well equipped house. Kitchen has everything you need, all the bedrooms are generous in size with private bathrooms and t.v.'s, and we had a blast playing pool and enjoying the two hot tubs. Lots of updates and very well maintained. Perfect location - walk to beach, clubhouse, and Duck shops. Owners were super helpful and gracious. Would definitely recommend this house to family and friends and hope to go back again!

- Posted: 4/12/2012

Thanks for the great comments - you're the first to enjoy the newly remodeled deck and second hot tub...and we'll update the pictures! We also hope you have an opportunity to return.

Village Realty staff

There were 5 couples, all friends for years, getting together for some quality time together as we do every couple of years. Even the rain couldn't dampen our spirits and the house had everything we could possibly have needed. Four Seasons community had wonderful amenities that were all still open in September. It was just great to relax in the hot tub and catch up with everyone. We biked to the beach, which we could've easily walked to, but the bikes were there so we used them. And when it rained, Duck was practically within walking distance so we went shopping! We highly recommend Life'O'Riley!

- Posted: 10/11/2011

We bought a home in the Four Seasons neighborhood for all the reasons you named above and we're glad you were able to make good use of the community's great location and amenities. We just bought a few more bikes for next season and replaced some beach chairs too for future guests. Four Seasons in Duck was just voted the 2011 N.C. Resort Community of the Year!! It was a pleasure working with you and our thanks for your review, Phil. Hope you'll be back!

Village Realty staff

Life O' Riley is a very nice home in a great, convenient neighborhood! Close to everything in Duck! The house is decorated nicely with great upgraded, newer touches inside.Comfy mattresses too! Very clean, and nice layout for multiple people with the two separate living rooms. The kitchen was stocked well with eqipment and labled drawers were really helpful! Would def. recommend this home! The owners were so helpful and responsive. Recommend renters bring bath mats to step out of shower stalls.I would suggest upgrading outdoor furniture/deck/poolside. Thanks for a great time in a beautiful home!

- Posted: 10/8/2011

Thanks for submitting a review. It gives us a real sense of satisfaction to know you had a good time and enjoyed our home. We really appreciate the comment on the bathmats and will be sure they're included in the future. The new chaise lounges for the pool deck and some additional upper deck furniture is in the budget for the spring. We hope you come back to check them out in 2012. Thank you, ladies!
