Simple Gifts by the Sea - Vacation rental home in Duck, NC

This award-winning, custom-designed home sits high atop a natural dune in Duck, offering sweeping ocean and sound views that captivate from sunrise to sunset. Guests have raved about their stays, sharing memories of morning coffee on the deck, evening BBQs under the stars, and the cozy, thoughtful touches found throughout the home.

With private community access to both the beach (just 500 feet away, no stairs!) and the sound, you’re perfectly positioned for days spent kayaking, crabbing, fishing—or simply soaking in the scenery. The spacious wraparound decks on two levels, including private decks off the master bedrooms, provide ideal spots for sunbathing, dining, or relaxing with a good book from the extensive library.

Inside, the home is beautifully furnished and decorated with a blend of historical charm and modern convenience. The gourmet kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a wine fridge, and everything you need to prepare a feast. The top deck is fully furnished for dining with ocean-to-sound views, while the ground-level patio includes a covered park grill, picnic table, and 14x30 private pool with mood lighting.
