Great house!
The location of the house is perfect! Close to everything in Duck and an easy walk to the beach. Some of the mattresses could use an update, but this place was perfect for our families to get together for a vacation!

Family Vacation
We enjoyed our second year at Carpe Duckem. So very pleased with all the updates - new deck and Poly wood chairs, carpet, more furniture, kitchen supplies, microwave etc. The house was spotless. The pool and hot tub were enjoyed by all. Thank you for the beach wagon and chairs. You do have to walk a few blocks to the beach but was very doable even for my young grandchildren. My wishlist for this home would be a garbage disposal and another television somewhere for the children to enjoy. The 8 adults and 7 grandchildren will return to this house. We had a great vacation!!

Great Week at the Beach
The house was great. They had 2 boogie boards and a nice cart for getting your beach gear between the house and the beach. This was not advertised and was a nice touch. The rental company was very quick to respond to any issues. The house was very large and had everything we needed. The pool was great, the kids loved the hot tub. The only thing for me preventing a 5 star rating were the beds. We had the room right off the kitchen, one of the three master suites and the bed was very uncomfortable. For the price of the house I expect a better mattress. It did not harm our vacation in anyway. We loved the house, we loved Duck and we would come back.
