Prepare meals in the beautifully renovated kitchen with an eat-in dining area, or eat outside on the screened-in porch with an outdoor dining table. After a day at the beach, rinse off in the enclosed outside shower and then relax on the sun deck with cocktails and conversation.

Oh Captain, My Captain!

A Captain’s Tale was a fantastic place to stay for our family - top to bottom. The property looked like the photos and was even better. Every detail of the house seemed so well planned and was only minutes from either the beach or grabbing ice cream in town! Highly recommend!

Beautiful quaint home!

Our first stay in Duck was wonderful. This house was very clean, has a well-stocked kitchen, and is tastefully updated. We enjoyed eating breakfast out on the screened in porch listening to the ocean waves. The master bedroom mattress was very comfortable as well. We will definitely consider this house again if we come back to Duck.

Great distance from town and beach.

With a two year old, this property was a great walking distance for us to the beach. The home was clean and the kids loved it. Nice selection of chairs, wagon, and beach toys.

Labor day beach weekend

We loved our stay at this property in Duck. The house is a short walk to the beach. The house was very clean and had all the appliances we needed. It also had some beach chairs, umbrella, and even a few boogie boards you can use. We brought our own beach stuff, but its there if needed. There is also a beach wagon in the laundry room to help you cary your stuff to the beach. We really enjoyed having coffee on the screened in porch in the mornings. The house is located by many restaurants that are a short drive away. We recommend Aqua, Sunset Bar and Grill and Duck Donuts. My family and I all agreed we would definitely stay here again.
