Welcome to Moon and Back, a coastal retreat located on the eastside of Duck Road, in the Sea Hawk community. This modern OBX vacation rental is designed for relaxation, convenience, and effortless living while being perfectly positioned between a peaceful stretch of beach (a 370-yard, less than 5-minute stroll along the quiet community street) and the lively shops and restaurants in downtown Duck. Moon and Back ensures every day can be exactly what you want, whether you prefer a laid-back vibe, adventure-filled moments, or a mix of both. In the backyard, you'll find a 28' x 12' private heated pool (with FREE pool heat) and a soothing poolside hot tub. The pool area is ideal for lounging in the sun, grilling a tasty meal, and outdoor fun all day long. With decks on both sides of the home, guests will enjoy the sunshine and a sea breeze from morning through sunset. Make your way inside to find a large open-concept top floor designed to comfortably host your vacation crew, a ground floor rec room with a smart TV to keep everyone entertained, and six bedrooms (five with private baths) that are sure to provide comfort and privacy for families and groups. An elevator carries luggage, groceries, and guests between levels, eight TVs are spread throughout the house, free high-speed wireless internet keeps everyone connected, and six parking spaces mean the whole group has room to arrive. And since two dogs are welcome with a fee, even the four-legged family members can get in on the fun.
Just a short walk or bike ride from the heart of Duck, guests of Moon and Back can easily explore shops, enjoy restaurants, walk the Soundfront boardwalk, and attend seasonal events. Stroll or pedal the trail that runs the length of the village, spend an afternoon at Duck Town Park on the Currituck Sound, or head out for swimming, surfing, fishing, crabbing, and kayaking. Between the welcoming layout and the thoughtful amenities throughout, this home offers everything you need to unwind and make unforgettable Outer Banks memories.
