First timers in OBX

The Gentle Breezes home was a great property for our family of four and dog. The house is on the older side yet in very clean and quaint inside. The outside decks super comfortable and convenient for drying beach items. The walk to the beach was easy and safe as well as the walk to the cute waterfront shops of Duck. The bugs were the only negative of the area. Lots of flies everywhere! Overall it was a great first experience in the Outer Banks and would come back.

Adorable Beach Cottage

This house is one of our favorite beach cottages. It was by far the cleanest house. Our family of 4 had plenty of space to unplug and relax, and our growing boys appreciated their own bedrooms. It was a short walk to the beach, and a short ride to the stores in town.

Cute home wonderful time!

The home was lovely. Very cute and cozy beach vibes. The pictures don’t do it justice. The walk to the beach was at most 5 mins and it’s just a straight shot off a walk way. Super easy! The communication was fantastic there were notes and instructions for appliances all around the house. It was just what we needed for an easy little get away no hassle. And super beach friendly for my dog too! Also my father is vision impaired and it was very easy for him to navigate the lay out of the house.

About the host

Hosted by Beverly Belcher

My husband and I are self employed and have lived in Currituck for 25 years. I am the Director of the Currituck SPCA and he has a contract with the State Department and travels all over the world. treating drinking water in American Embassies. We bought the house as an investment and fell in love with it and Duck. We have 2 sons and 6 grandchildren that we have made many wonderful memories with at the beach. We hope that you can do the same.

Why they chose this property

Our location in the Town of Duck is its best attribute. It is a 5 minute walk to the ocean . It does not have an ocean view but is located on the ocean side and you can certainly hear the ocean. You can walk to all the downtown shops and restaurants. Duck is very kid and fur baby friendly. Some of its restaurants are the best in the Outer Banks. It is a 20 minute drive to Corolla where there are more things to do and places to eat. The Infamous wild horses can be seen there on the 4 wheel drive parts or the northern beaches. The Historic Currituck Lighthouse is there which you can climb to the top of for a beautiful view. Last but not least we have a family of deer that like to hang out behind the house. They look forward to seeing your friendly faces.

What makes this property unique

We prefer Sunday to Sunday checkout where the traffic is not as heavy.
Lots of privacy because of the size of the lot .
Close to everything including it being 1 hour from Hatteras.
Duck has a one mile long boardwalk, within walking distance from the house, along the Albemarle Sound where you can access shops and restaurants while you are taking in all the wildlife that calls its home there. Sunsets are spectacular from there. Duck Donuts is accessible from the boardwalk as is the park where there is something going on most of the Spring , Summer, and Fall. Checkout the Town of Duck Facebook page or its website for listing of events as well as the weather and conditions of the ocean. Duck is very pet friendly and kid friendly. There are a couple of rental places in Duck where you can rent most items you might need, as in bikes, kayaks, umbrellas and chairs. There are sidewalks, bike paths, and crosswalks for your safety.
