"Good Tides" Oceanside beach house with private heated pool & hot tub, Duck, NC

Come explore the private beach, restaurants, and shops in Duck, NC while staying at this spacious, bright retreat we call "Good Tides." You'll find paradise in this wonderful home surrounded by live oak trees for privacy while you sip sweet tea (or margaritas!) from the porch swings. The open and airy living space is perfect for that special family get together. There is also room to spread out, with extra space in the sunroom upstairs and game room downstairs with wet bar and foosball. Three story decks face the east and west to catch ocean breezes, sunrises, and sunsets. A private pool, outside shower, and hot tub are just outside the back door. Your whole family will enjoy this beautiful home.

Sound access is also close by (<2 min walk), so pack your crab trap, kayak, and windsurfing gear. Bring your bikes and jump on the bike path for a quick ride to the quaint village of Duck, where you’ll find fabulous dining and shopping.

Great Stay

The location of this house is great for families. Just a short walk to the beach and added plus that all beach chairs, umbrella, toys and wagon were all provided. The house was big enough for our family of 11 and the pool kept the kids occupied for hours. The owner, Gary, was super responsive and helped with a minor issue. Overall we had a great time and would definitely rent again!

Good Tides was a wonderful home to rent. The sheets, towels, beach equipment were so much appreciated the home and beds comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. We had 11 on this trip and there was plenty of room. The location was quiet, neighbors wonderful and it was about a1/4 mile walk to the beach ( sounds long but it took like 5-10 minutes) and close to shops and restaurants. If and when we go back, Good Tides would be where we would stay.

It’s a short walk to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. The owner was very responsive to our questions. The pool and the hot tub were a highlight! Would definitely recommend.

We loved the property and all its amenities: close to the beach, great backyard pool, jacuzzi, and more balconies than we even had time to use! All of our kids got their own room and pretty much their own bathrooms too. Quiet, private, clean and Gary and his family were just amazing hosts with impeccable communications. Their check-in process and facilities were perfect. 10 out of 10 - no notes.

Great host, location and home for a getaway

Overall we had a wonderful stay. Gary is so communicative and helpful to ensure your visit is top notch. Everything in the kitchen you’d need to cook meals, lots of places to hangout and relax. Plenty of beach gear came in handy. Hot tub was clean, too cold for the pool. Only reason for a 4/5 stars is the price was a bit high relative to other places we’ve stayed and it wasn’t as updated, smaller home, less outdoor space for little ones to play, deck run down with some nails up, etc. Would still recommend it for a family trip to Duck!

It was wonderful to be able to stay with our entire family of 10, ages 4 to 65, in one house, enjoying family dinners and playing in the pool. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We really appreciated all the small conveniences provided by the owner (not always supplied by other owners) such as toilet paper, laundry & dishwasher soap, beach towels, etc. We had no problems while we were there. If we ever get back to the Outer Banks, this is the place we'll stay.

Great property; great owners!

We had a great time at this home. There was plenty of space for everyone. We rented bikes (they were delivered and waiting for us when we got there) and it was a perfect distance ride into Duck for breakfast or dinner. The house is a 5 minute walk to the beach and there is a handy rolling cart to pack everything in. We also spent a good deal of time in the pool and the hot tub. Finally, Gary was responsive, helpful and great to work with. Great vacation, we will be back.
