Vintage & cozy OBX cottage "The Cozy Duck" 4 bd 2 ba, 500 ft from beach

Welcome to "The Cozy Duck OBX", a 4 bedroom 2 bath cottage in beautiful Duck surrounded by live oaks and with a ground floor outdoor shower. Wake up early and walk 500 feet straight to a direct private street beach access (only for residents and guests on this street; there is no public access) to enjoy that amazing sunrise over the ocean. Downtown Duck is less than 1 mile away, making for a quick walk or bike ride to the famous Duck Donuts, outstanding restaurants, excellent boutique shops, and enjoy the beautiful sunset on the boardwalk on the sound.

Once you enter the house you will instantly be transported to vintage OBX with the rustic charm of beautiful knotty pine paneling. The living, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms are all on one level with a bonus loft upstairs. There is a TV with Roku in the living room as well as in the loft area (where there are an assortment of boardgames and children's toys). There are plenty of restaurants in Duck if you wish to avoid cooking entirely during your stay, but the kitchen is stocked for your culinary activities including pots, pans, baking sheets, flatware, glasses, a toaster oven, microwave, coffee maker (bring your k-cups or ground) and dishes. We also have wireless internet to keep everyone connected to school or work.

Our home offers 1 queen bed (firm), 1 full bed (soft), 2 twins and 2 sets of bunks. All updated mattresses, quilts, and linens! It is best suited for small families or groups, but our beds offer flexible sleeping arrangements. Please note the top bunks are for young children only and not adult use.

Enjoy some peace and quiet on the top deck, or chill out in the shade in the porch on the main level. In the front driveway is a basketball hoop and plenty of greenspace for tossing around a football. We do have two Weber charcoal kettle grills and picnic table available as well.

We love our dog and welcome your dogs too (pet fee extra of $150). Sorry, no kitties or any other animals since our children are highly allergic to felines. We do limit to a maximum of 2 well behaved pups and ask that you try to keep them off the beds and furniture. We want our guests to enjoy the lawn, so please also scoop the poop!

Duck is one of the best dog friendly beach towns in OBX. Dogs are allowed on the beach year-round in Duck as long as they are leashed.

This home is strictly for NONSMOKERS (vaping is also not permitted).

There is also a washer and dryer on the ground floor. We also provide a beach buggy, a tent, a shade umbrella and 8 new beach chairs.

Please let us know if you notice anything broken or missing.

Freshly laundered linens and towels are always provided!

Thank you for checking out our home. We hope to host you soon!

***A separate signed rental agreement along with a copy of government issued identification of all guests age 21 and over are required within 48 hrs of booking.

***Please make sure to bring your own supply of personal items such as soaps, shampoo, k cups, laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, trash bags, or ziplock bags.

***We may occasionally have maintenance and lawn care at the property during your stay.

wonderful cottage, perfect location!
Visited for 7 nights with my boyfriend and dog. Quick walk to the beach and short easy walk to Duck town center. the cottage was more than we needed in size and could easily accommodate two small families. My dog enjoyed relaxing on the porch as well as the dog friendly beach!

Just what we needed
This was a perfect little spot for our family of 7, plus furbaby. It's not huge or fancy but had the space we needed, was clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and the location was ideal. The host was A++ in every way!

The Cozy Duck
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Cozy Duck. It was very clean and comfortable, and has one of the best stocked kitchens of any beach house I’ve stayed at. Susan is a wonderful host and was very accommodating. We’ll definitely plan to return!

Beach fun
We loved the proximity to the beautiful, private beach. The house had plenty of room for us and having two bathrooms made things easy. The town of Duck was convenient too. We enjoyed checking out the shops. Definitely get a boil dinner and cook yourself some redfish (also called drum). It’s easy and very tasty.

Great place in Duck!
We had a great time at the cozy duck over Labor Day weekend! The check in/check out process was very easy. Thought it was the right amount of space for 4-6 adults to stay. Loved that we were a short walk from the beach! And if you enjoy walking a bit more, you can easily walk to shops and food in town. Overall great experience, would recommend!

Very easy getaway.
The cottage was exactly as it was described. Cozy and clean. Loved the location to the beach and to the town of Duck. Grandsons liked the basketball hoop…and grown ups liked walking into the town of Duck. Very easy check in and check out. Would definitely stay here again.

Great spot!
They so s a nice house with a smart layout. Very clean considering it is pet friendly. Sure some things could use a little updating but overall is in great shape and an awesome location just off the beach. Beach chairs and toys included made packing easier, the kitchen had tons of pots and dishes, way more than we have at home. Highly recommend if you're ok with a comfy home rather a modern brand new option.

Great place to relax
This is a great place to go, park the car, and not get back in it for a week. The beach is a two minute walk and the restaurants and shops in Duck a pleasant walk away. The house is comfortable with several decks and a screened-in porch. Everything in it is pretty well-worn, but it’s all comfortable. Wi-fi and smart tv worked perfectly. Duck is the most dog-friendly beach in OBX and the house is dog friendly too-the outdoor shower is perfect for washing up after the beach.

Great little beach house
The location couldnt have been better for us, quick walk to the beach. Although the weather didnt completely cooperate we can't wait to stay here again when the ocean is more comfortable. This was perfect for a family of 4 and could easily accomodate a couple more people for a couple days. Owner was a dream to work with. Thank you!

Clean, good location and great host
The property was on a great street with a very short walk to the beautiful beach and short walk into the town of Duck. Great location if you don’t want to get in your car after arriving. The host was very accommodating and responsive. The only things that weren’t top notch was the house was in desperate need of some updates and repairs. Some of the deck railing was loose, the ceiling inside was peeling and stained and the rugs, couches need a deep cleaning and the beds aren’t very comfortable. It is such a gem just needing a little refresh. Overall great stay.

Great beach house for our family!
We enjoyed our stay at this house and I loved being able to enjoy my morning coffee on the screen porch while listening to the waves crashing. It was like being in a tree house! That said, there are a lot of stairs. Ok for us but it could be a struggle for others. I liked the bedroom and bathroom split also - my husband and I slept on one side of house while my son and his family slept on the other.

Fantastic house and location
The Cozy Duck was absolutely perfect in size and location to the beach and shops. We loved that we could walk to the beach and walk or a quick car ride to the downtown shops and boardwalk. We loved Duck! The house was perfect. Often when a house indicates 2 bathrooms, one of those is for the master bedroom only. This is not the case for this house. There are 4 bedrooms and 1set of bathrooms per 2 bedrooms. I really liked how the rooms were split up on either side of the house. It created space for everyone. The house was cozy and has a great screened in porch where we enjoyed fresh steamed crab and shrimp. We would definitely stay here again!
