Over a mile of uninterrupted, rolling dunes unfolds north of Rainbow Connection, a Carolina Designs vacation home perched on a high dune in Duck's Sandy Ridge community. Bordering Army Corps of Engineers land, the view sweeps from ocean to sound, framed by the Duck Research Pier, with beach access 254 yards away.

Overview
Because the land to the north remains undeveloped, the shoreline here stays spacious and uncrowded, and the elevated setting delivers a view from seemingly every standpoint. A quick walk to the end of the street leads to the Sandy Ridge community pool, open to guests of Rainbow Connection. At the other end of this quiet road you will find the community beach access.
Draped in decks, this cottage appeals to the vacationer who likes to spend time outdoors as much as relaxing at home. Classically decorated in Outer Banks style, the home offers four spacious bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath, making it ideal for a single family or smaller group seeking an easygoing OBX vacation rental. The end of the rainbow is located in Sandy Ridge in Duck.

The Village of Duck
Duck is known for its small village atmosphere and a walking and bicycling trail that runs the length of town, connecting shops, boutiques and restaurants ranging from casual to formal. Duck Town Park sits along the Currituck Sound. From swimming and surfing to fishing, crabbing and kayaking, the ocean and sound are both within easy reach of this Duck retreat.
