Just steps away from the beach access, enjoy the sound of the ocean and salt-kissed breezes. Relax in the hammock with a book and your daydreams, or on the wrap-around deck at Starfish Cottage -- a classic Carolina beach cottage in Duck.

Feel right at home in this affordable, family-friendly, comfortable retreat, featuring four bedrooms, two full baths, full kitchen, children’s swings, a grilling area, enclosed outdoor shower and more. On those occasional rainy days you will enjoy the Roku TVs in the living room and queen en suite.

Only a quick (300ft) walk to the lifeguarded beach access, Starfish Cottage offers a wagon to help haul your beach gear. Enjoy a nearby-by 6-mile jogging and bike trail, as well as two water sport centers a half-a mile away, where you can rent a kayak, sailboat or paddle board, jet ski or pontoon and cruise the Currituck Sound. For a more relaxed pace enjoy the boardwalk and trail meandering around Duck and take in the lush maritime forest setting. The charming town of Duck offers shopping, nightlife, superior dining, a boardwalk and Town Park with morning yoga and exercise classes, many children's activities, movies and free concerts.

A sampling of what vacationers at Starfish Cottage have said in their own words: wonderful, large outdoor shower; peaceful decks on two levels; a wonderful home that is comfortable for adults and kids alike; a treasure so close to the sea; evening walks to the sound; dolphin watching; surf fishing, sand bars and warm sea water; tuna on the grill; naps in the hammocks.

Starfish Cottage is pet-friendly for the fall season only. Smoke free.

This cottage may accept mini and freestyle bookings in the off-season. Please contact the Duck office for more information.

Our 2-week stay at the lovely Starfish Cottage

We just returned from a terrific 2-week stay at the lovely Starfish Cottage. We decided to vacation in the Outer Banks during September, when the weather is still summer-like but the crowds have diminished. Upon arrival we were greeted by a doe standing in the driveway, a welcoming sight as we began our vacation in this comfortable house nestled in natural surroundings, just outside the adorable town of Duck. The house is inviting and cozy, perfect for a family with kids or in our case, two retired folks looking for a get-away. Large decks wrap around the house, equipped with Adirondack chairs and views of both the ocean and the sound. Great place to watch a sunrise or sunset, or to look at the stars at night. We loved the outdoor shower, the storage area under the house for our beach equipment, and the ample parking. Four bedrooms with comfortable beds and plenty of dressers and closets can accommodate a good-sized family or several friends. The huge Master Bedroom has its own deck, with even better views of the water and the gorgeous setting. The kitchen is very well-equipped, with all the dinnerware, serving ware, or appliances you could hardly need for your stay. The home is nestled just north of the vibrant town of Duck and in a quiet neighborhood just a few hundred yards from the ocean lies this lovely beach home, located within walking distance of the beach to the east and the sound to the west. We watched the sun rise in the morning over the crashing waves of the ocean, and witnessed the same sun set over the sound in the evening on the community pier, just a short walk from the cottage. We made several day trips to Corolla to the north, and to Nags Head and the untouched beaches to the south, all within driving distance for exploration. Perfect location, with so much to explore!

There is nothing better than hearing the night's ocean waves as you drift off to sleep in Starfish Cottage's comfortable beds while relaxing in a hammock on the front deck or enjoying happy hour as you watch the sunset from the upper deck. These are a few of the memories I have taken with me from Starfish Cottage. Aside from the peaceful solace and rest we found plenty of adventures here as well. It took less than 5 minutes to walk to the beach where we found ample room to spread out while having enough distance for a sense of privacy yet with a lifeguard to watch over the entire family which proved to be real plus. We also enjoyed the sound and relished the calm water and tranquility--and it was less than a 10 minute walk in the other direction. Starfish Cottage was roomy had a fully stocked kitchen internet cable TV and even swings nd toys for the kids I am sure you will enjoy your stay as much as we did--can't wait to return. In the tides! -- Melanie August 2019

My family enjoyed a lovely week at the Starfish Cottage. We divided our days between the lovely and quieter small beach on the sound side and time on the ocean side. The house is such a short walk to the beach that we could enjoy early morning walks on the beach and then go later in the day when there were fewer people. We loved having the outdoor shower to do some clean up before going back into the house. The children loved the swings and the many other toys and beach items that were there for them. And one of my favorite parts of staying at the cottage is hanging out on the wrap around deck. There is always a nice breeze and it is perfect for just hanging out when the beach is too hot. And the sound side dock is excellent for sunset viewing. The house is well equipped and comfortable for a family visit! I am a repeat visitor!
