Vacation Rental Description
Spectacular Ocean and Sound views await you in this charming
waterfront vacation get-a-way in Duck. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac
and only steps from the Currituck Sound, "Life's A Joy!" is perched
on one of the highest dunes in the area offering breathtaking ocean
and sound views. Your own pool, which can be heated in the off
season, features whirlpool jets and color changing lights that will
refresh and delight the whole family. Just a stroll up the
road,exactly 1 mile to be exact,is the picturesque coastal village of
Duck, a shopper's paradise featuring many one of a kind
shops,boutiques,and exceptional restaurants, some of which are waterfront.
The picturesque resort village of Duck has a split personality. On
one hand it's a sleepy hamlet ideal for families craving a quiet
beach vacation. Delightful cottages fill the village from sea to
sound; there are no hotels and only one B & B. Duck's lively side
also boasts activities galore. The sound side waterfront area
features para sailing, kayak and jet ski rentals, plus sailing and
windsurfing outfitters. The bike path running the length of the
village is traveled with early morning exercisers, tots on bikes, and
inline skaters and provides a scenic trail on the easy trek to and
from the village.
The entire area is a fisherman's paradise from convenient shoreline
fishing to full day ocean excursions out to the Gulf Stream for the
really big ones. Take in some serious crabbing from the sound pier
adjacent to your home, visit the famous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse or
the even closer Currituck Lighthouse. Take a short drive down the
road to see the site of the Wright brother's first flight, or
experience Manteo Island's unforgettable live performance of the Lost
Colony outdoor drama under the stars. For golfers, there are four
public courses nearby.
If adventure's your game, you can set off in search of the wild
Spanish mustangs of Corolla often seen frolicking on the secluded
northern beaches or ride the free ferry to Ocracoke Island to hunt
down Blackbeard's ferocious pirates. Here on the Outer Banks,
there's something to do for everyone. Or if you prefer, do nothing
at all but kick back, relax by the pool, and enjoy that
glorious OBX sunset!
