SALTY BREEZES - Vacation rental home in Duck, NC

At the end of a quiet street in Duck Ridge Shores, where the pavement gives way to sand, Salty Breezes puts the village of Duck within walking distance of your own oceanfront doorstep. This six-bedroom Carolina Designs home pairs a private dune deck and a 29 x 14 pool with a rec room built for rainy afternoons, plus four king suites with private baths just upstairs.

Overview

Relax and unwind at Salty Breezes, an oceanfront escape in the heart of Duck. Located directly on the beach with a private dune deck, this Outer Banks home delivers seemingly endless ocean views from practically every vantage point, from the great room sofa to the media room windows to the pillow of a king bed. Modern coastal decor carries through all three levels, and with six bedrooms, six full baths, and two half baths, there is plenty of space for large or multi-family vacations.

Outside, a 29 x 14 private pool, a hot tub, a gas grill, and two outdoor showers turn the back of the house into its own resort, while the private walkway leads over the dune and straight to the sand. Two dogs are welcome with an additional fee, seven parking spaces keep the whole group covered, and free high-speed wireless internet keeps everyone connected. Best of all, the village of Duck and its shops, restaurants, and activities are a short walk away, making this an OBX vacation rental you can enjoy without ever moving the car.

The Duck, NC Area

Duck is one of the most beloved villages on the Outer Banks, drawing guests back year after year for its small-village atmosphere and easy access to everything the barrier islands offer. Vacation homes here span a lovely 7-mile coastline, and the beach is known for crystal clear water and miles of soft rolling surf.

From the sound to the ocean, families and friends enjoy swimming, surfing, fishing, jet skiing, parasailing, crabbing, and kayaking. The village itself offers an impressive array of small shops and restaurants, with dining that ranges from a-la-carte to formal and boutiques specializing in clothing, books, toys, gourmet food, groceries, antiques, and artwork. A walking and bicycling trail runs the entire length of Duck, and the Duck Town Park sits on 11 acres of maritime forest along the Currituck Sound with a playground, soundside walkway, designated canoe and kayak launch areas, a gazebo and picnic shelter, and an amphitheater that hosts complimentary music, theatre, and children's events all summer long.

With Saturday check-in, seven parking spaces, and a location central to it all, Salty Breezes makes it easy to see why Duck is such a treasured Outer Banks destination.
