Duck - Sound View, w/ Pool, Hot Tub, Kayaks, Bikes, Billiards & Guest Pantry - Vacation rental home in Duck, NC

We appreciate our beach bungalow and know you will, too. "Sounds Good" is a bespoke-constructed 3,320 sq. ft. three-level home loaded with great amenities. Our bungalow has three master suites because privacy matters, a private pool and hot tub, and a well-equipped kitchen with a entirely supplied guest pantry. There is a sports lounge on the ground level with a wet bar, billiards, and a enormous flat-screen TV for watching your favorite movies or for quality gaming. All our TVs stream via Roku and YouTube TV. Sounds Good is our second home—a place we return to often and miss dearly when we're away. That's why we open our bungalow to guests for just five weeks each year.

One important note: although Sounds Good is in Duck, we are passionate about the wild Banker horses in Corolla, just 8 miles north. When you stay with us, $50 from your week's rental is gladly donated to the Corolla Wild Horse Fund to help the wild Banker horses continue to thrive. Okay, back to bungalow info...

Our five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath home is very clean, we only rent five weeks! We are committed to keeping this level of quality for our guests (and ourselves). We're committed to delivering an exceptional experience—because your vacation and your investment matter. In return, we expect every guest to treat our home with the same care and respect we do.

Sounds Good is a calming, laid-back place to vacation. We do not host events and will not tolerate rowdy behavior; that's just not what we are about. What we are about is being readily available to you before and during your stay. We savor getting to know our guests and responding quickly to any need or question about the bungalow or visiting the Outer Banks. Consider us your text-able concierge! We offer a well-supplied guest pantry; details are further down in our description. We do not offer linens or towels, so please bring your own, or they can be conveniently rented from a company right down the street and conveniently delivered to the bungalow. We can provide that information to you if needed.

Sounds Good is in one of Duck's most striking communities, Carolina Dunes, and is near the ocean, only one walkable block to the beach access, and the Currituck Sound is just 50 yards away from the front door. Appreciate the Sound and sunset vistas from the front balcony.

You'll be near all the things that make for a ideal family vacation: whether it's strolling along the Sound's walking trail, directly in front of the bungalow, or wandering through the waterfront front stores (1.8 miles south - a walk or bicycle ride away), or dining at one of the many close by eateries, or visiting the Duck town park for an evening concert, you won't have to travel far or necessarily by car.

Back at the bungalow, relax on one of the roomy decks or appreciate a good book under the second-floor covered deck, or chill in the hammock swing. The fenced backyard offers mature live oaks and is extremely private. Cool off in the backyard pool or go kayaking using our two kayaks. Launching the kayaks from the community dock is just a block and a half south. We've got the gear: wheel dollies, paddles, and life vests.

Game nighttime is always fun, and our home has plenty of board game choices. Downstairs, the sports lounge has two TVs, one at the wet bar and the main flat-screen TV. There's an apartment-size dishwasher, microwave, full-size stainless refrigerator, and a high-quality 9' pool table.

If you're looking for location, fun, relaxation, and comfort, Sounds Good has it all because it's not a busy rental; it's our home!

Guest Pantry:
Your car is probably packed to the gills, which is exactly why we maintain a generous, well‑supplied guest pantry—to save you time, money, and anxiety. You'll find toilet paper, paper plates, paper towels, dishwashing detergent and liquid, sponges, Folgers coffee and filters, a full spice rack, general condiments, Solo cups, laundry detergent, cooking oils, aluminum foil, sandwich bags, plastic wrap, pump hand soap, and more.

Supplies are kept plentiful and replenished regularly—either through Amazon drop‑ship directly to the bungalow or by Tom, who often drives items down mid‑season. It's not a ideal science, but there's always a lot here for you.
Our goal is for you to walk into a home that feels lived‑in and thoughtfully outfitted—our home—not a sterile, bare‑bones rental.

House Gear: Two beach bicycles, six beach chairs, various floats, two beach umbrellas, DVDs, books, a high-chair, crib, booster chair, changing table, pack n' play, all expected deck furnishings, hammock swing, gas grille, Blackstone griddle, and beach buggy to cart your gear to the beach, which is only a 5-min. walk.

Savor your vacation wherever you stay, but we hope it will be with us!

Cheers!
Tom & Kelly
