You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
The Mayor's Nest: Oceanside | Shared Walkway to Beach
"The Mayor's Nest" was designed and built by the Keller family in the early 1980s. Paul Keller eventually retired here and was instrumental in establishing Duck as an official town through the North Carolina legislature, culminating in the incorporation of Duck on May 1, 2002. Paul Keller served as the first Mayor. As the third owners, we are working to update the home but preserve the original intent of "Keller's Beach House": to "delight all generations of congenial vacationers with its sprawling comfort, cheerful decor, relaxed atmosphere and easy access to Poteskeet's uncrowded private beach.” In addition, guests can walk to the town of Duck with its Soundside Boardwalk, many shops and restaurants. Come relax and enjoy The Mayor’s Nest. “You'll want to return again and again!”
This two-level home features a ground level where you'll discover a media room equipped with a large TV, board games, a sofa, loveseat, and a Lovesac. There's also a full-size fridge for extra storage, a laundry area with hooks for your beach towels, and a convenient half bath.
Upstairs, the top level features a spacious family room with a sectional, swivel recliner chair, and a smart TV. The open-concept design leads you to a kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops, an island with seating for two, an undercounter beverage fridge, coffee bar, dishwasher, and garbage disposal. Enjoy meals around the long dining room table and dry bar.
Also on the top level are 4 bedrooms, one being a king bedroom with a private bathroom and three others sharing access to two hall bathrooms. This property offers ample space for a fun-filled family beach getaway!
Please note that the fireplace is not available for guest use.
Pets allowed. No smoking/ vaping.
