OCEANFRONT@ The Lucky Duck- 100% renovated, clean, cozy & well-appointed.

Our place is a super bright, incredibly clean, excellently appointed oceanfront condo with a view you are sure to love! Literally, a 2 minute walk to the beach! This new rental property will be your "go-to" favorite annual trip location. We really wanted to make sure everyone enjoys our special place as much as we do! Enjoy lazy days on the beach and at the pool, drinks on the deck, and exploring the quaint town of Duck. And BYOC (bring your own charcoal) for a nightly cook out in the courtyard area. So much FUN! We know you'll love Colony by the Sea (CBTS) as much as we do. It's a true gem in the Outer Banks! Ours is a first floor, end unit: no elevator, 2 short flights of stairs (building on pilings). We love to cook and entertain so we have a well-stocked kitchen, including basic spices, EVOO, balsamic vinegar and just about every utensil and baking/cooking tool we could think of. BRING YOUR OWN: paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, towels (bath/beach/dish), sheets, pillows, and blankets. There is a coin laundry room for $2 per load (same for wash or dry) under the building if needed (it is kept very clean). TV sets in living room and bedroom with basic cable and streaming capability.

Relaxing and Refreshing

The Lucky Duck is clean, comfortable and conveniently located for walks on the beach, boardwalk and into town. The beach is beautiful and was relatively uncrowded the week we went. We had great weather and enjoyed our stay!

Tracey was wonderful to communicate with. She graciously allowed us an early check-in as we were traveling with our one year old. The condo, beach, and pool were magnificent. The kitchen was extremely well appointed with pots, pans, knives, dishes, tupperware that were actually enjoyable to cook with and use. It felt like staying in a well taken care of home, not a rental unit. It would be a no brainer for us to stay here again if we return to OBX in the future.

Great condo and location!

We recently spent a week in Duck and this condo was everything we needed and then some! It was clean, had a well stocked kitchen for cooking, right on the beach, quiet neighbors and Tracey did a great job communicating with us. It was close to shopping in Duck and an easy walk to Duck Deli for lunch! I highly recommend it and you won't regret your choice of visiting the outer Banks or staying at this condo.

The Lucky Duck x2

This was our second stay at The Lucky Duck and it did not disappoint. One of the cleanest condos I’ve ever stayed in; Tracy called on the way to the beach to confirm and let me know I could check in early and the new porch on the front with deck chairs, bench and place to hang your towels is functional and a great place to leave all your beach bags, towels, and boogie boards. Highly recommend!! Can’t wait to go back

We love Lucky Duck!

This was our 2nd year staying in the Lucky Duck condo and intend to stay there again next September. It is immaculate and located in a great condo community. Just steps from the beach and pool, the view is beautiful, the kitchen is well stocked with staples like spices and oils, and it is convenient to get to restaurants and shopping in Duck. Hosts are very communicative. I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed with their experience staying in Lucky Duck!

Beach getaway

Exceptionally clean, steps from the beach with a view of the ocean from the deck and living room, comfy king bed, 2 full baths, great shower in the primary bath (didn't try the other one), well stocked with the essentials. Lovely beach, great town, walked to and along the boardwalk for restaurants and shops. Tracey (the owner) was available, though we didn't need to call for anything. We highly recommend the Lucky Duck and hope to be back!

Perfect OBX condo

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. We have been to OBX several times and this is our favorite condo so far. Everything was spotless upon arrival new and fresh. The owners were so friendly and easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed. I also loved how close it was to the beach and the pool. Our extended family may be joining next year but in the future when it’s just us we will definitely be back!

We loved The Lucky Duck!

We had the best week at The Lucky Duck! We’ve stayed at a few condo’s in the same complex, but The Lucky Duck is by far the BEST one. The condo was spotless with the cutest decorations. The hosts have thought of every single detail to make your stay care-free. We loved the extra beds in the living room, the extra hooks for hanging, the fully stocked kitchen, and the amazing patio furniture complete with the perfect view. The hosts were so friendly, great at communicating, and we can’t thank them enough for sharing their home with us. We are the lucky ones to have found The Lucky Duck. We hope to return to The Lucky Duck next year!
