We had a great time on our first family vacation at Duck 17. Since our daughter was only 13 months old, I really wanted to find a place that had it all in case she wasn't a fan of the beach. Luckily, she was a fan! The beach was only a 2-3 min walk to the beach. However, we had a few days that were not the best beach weather and I am SO GLAD we had this perfect house to hang out in the backyard and enjoy the beautiful pool! The hot tub was perfect for mom and dad to relax in after we put baby to bed! The house itself is gorgeous and immaculately kept. There was not a grain of sand on the floor when we got there! The house has so much that you may need to be comfortable. Some beach chairs, beach toys, pool floats/noodles, two fridges, gas grill, washer/dryer, stocked kitchen with pots, pans, cookie sheets, keurig. Shoreline OBX gives you a little starter pack of TP, sponge, dish soap, dishwasher pods too which was great! Dealing with shoreline OBX was great and the rentals from Vay K life for beach gear was also seamless (you get a credit for beach rentals once you book). The only downside to the home would be a more comfortable primary bed/maybe one king sized bed in the house (my husband is 6'4” so his feet were hanging off the bed haha) and maybe some updated/more comfortable couches. Other than those two tiny details, I can not complain. The house/vacation was great! Perfect location to the beach and to downtown Duck. Would stay again and would recommend Shoreline OBX to friends!
