Sound front Sunsets from Dock, Pool, Porch & all rooms. Private Beach access!

Surround Sound is the only name that makes sense once you walk in the front door of this unique home. We have sound and canal views from every room. A highlight is watching the dazzling sunset while crabbing and fishing from the 100 ft. private dock. Or watching the sun or a full moon reflect off of the water like diamonds from the comfort of bed or the couch! Custom pool (closed from November to May) and swim spa (heated at your request for a heat fee typically 4-5 hours a day available rear round). We even have a 4 person paddle boat for your enjoyment along with a couple rentable single person kayaks! This wooded, waterfront, private home is 20 minute peaceful walk to the OBX beaches. We have a parking permit to the "homeowner's only" beach access with bathrooms and showers (7 min drive).

If the beach and the sound are not enough, we are a bike ride or 5 minute car ride to Duck's boardwalk shopping, restaurants, concerts and other activities. My kids love to bike for a snow cone or Duck Donuts. Biking is very safe as it is either residential or paved sidewalk. We have 2 bikes for your use. Additionally, any golfers can enjoy Duck Woods Country Club which is just down Dogwood Lane.

Inside of the home we have 3 large bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The "boat house" sits on the canal-side of the house with an additional bedroom, full bath and medium pool table. This is detached from the main house and is a favorite spot for teens or light sleepers! At night, enjoy the sound of the waves crashing ashore from the beach and the owls chatting from tree to tree.

Awesome house, very well furnished and conveniently located with multiple different ways to get to the property in case the roads are busy... The dock was great and views of the Sound from there were simply fabulous... it is a short drive to the beach and Duck town... The host is very accessible and great communicator.... highly recommended for a family trip!

August week in Southern Shores

What a beautiful, uniquely situated home! Trees on either side bordering the creek near the sound. Our favorite spot was the incredible screened in porch enjoying river otters, ospreys, cranes, deer, and jumping fish! Very comfortable for movement challenged adult with a main bedroom suite downstairs.

The listing and pictures don't do it justice

This property is absolutely incredible. We've been going to OBX for a few years now and we've never stayed on the bay side, the location was amazing letting us get away from some of the ocean side hustle and bustle. The house was right on the bay with a beautiful pool and hot tub that provided our kids with endless fun for our trip. The highlight for me though was the covered (and screened) porch in the back. It's beautiful in the morning and evenings and stays cool and shaded in the afternoons. We loved this place and will be back!

Vacation Paradise

Surround Sound has become our family's favorite vacation spot. It is a beautiful home surrounded by water and we instantly feel relaxed. We especially enjoy our evenings on the screened porch watching the sun set over the sound. During the day, we enjoy the wonderful pool, beach, bike riding, kayaking, tennis, and nearby golf. The house is very clean and comfortable and we appreciate that Tara makes it feel like home for her guests. Thanks Tara for being such a responsive host and for allowing our family to enjoy another week in paradise!

A Great Getaway for Families of All Ages

I cannot say enough about this amazing rental property . The owners have truly thought of everything. The home was accessible for my elderly grandparents but had more than enough to keep the teenagers busy. From the kayaks and bicycles to the cornhole games, we were busy the entire week and we barely had to leave the house. It was clean and so peaceful, we loved enjoying family meals on the screened in porch. Our Great Dane also had the best week lounging in the yard and watching the wildlife. We truly cannot say enough about this place and are already planning a trip back. Thank you, Tara, for our best family vacation yet.

Absolutely Amazing!

The house was absolutely amazing and the pictures accurately portray everything about the house!!! Tara made everything so easy for us from initial booking, to providing recommendations to leaving the property. The house was extremely clean and we didn't have one issue the entire time we were there. My family used all of their great amenities such as pier, pool table, basketball hoop game, etc.. We especially enjoyed the pier were my kids spent hours trying to find a fish and crabs. We are already trying to think about next year's rental since everything was perfect!

I would have given 5/5 on everything but there were a few minor things. The house and location is perfect. Quiet neighborhood in the middle of everything. Pool was awesome and being on the sound was so relaxing. The owner was very responsive and text weeks ahead of time to go through everything with us. The WiFi needs to be upgraded. Very weak and our mobile service was weak too. Not that, that was a huge deal because there was so much to do but definitely a minor fix that could be made. Also the upstairs bathroom toilet was problematic throughout the week. Had to jiggle the handle every time we flushed or it would keep running. And on the last night it stopped flushing completely. Owner knew about the issue so we were a little bummed that hadn't been fixed before we arrived. Again not a deal killer or enough to ruin our stay. We absolutely loved the house otherwise. Would definitely stay here again!

Thanks for the thorough review. My apologies that we could not get the toilet fixed sooner. We tried. As for the internet issue that was the entire island. Other than the one island wide problem, we have not had any internet issues. We hope you will stay with us again and give us the chance to earn all 5 stars.

Memorial Day getaway

This property is absolutely beautiful! My favorite feature was the screened-in porch – it quickly became our go-to spot for morning coffee, afternoon reading, and evening wildlife watching. Even though we had some rain during our stay, the porch made it easy to still enjoy the outdoors. With a dining table, loveseat, and comfy chairs, we were able to relax while watching river otters, ospreys, and even a baby deer passing by.A close second favorite was the pier – perfectly situated for the most stunning sunsets! It was peaceful and scenic, and a great place to unwind at the end of the day.The grocery store was minutes away and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed to cook basic meals, which made it easy to settle in and feel at home. The layout of the home is also ideal for multiple couples or families. One bedroom and bathroom has a separate entrance, offering added privacy, and the main bedroom on the first floor is nicely separated from the upstairs bedrooms – a great setup if you’re concerned about noise or different schedules.Overall, this was a fantastic getaway. Whether you're looking to relax, reconnect with nature, or simply enjoy a beautiful view rain or shine, this property delivers. Highly recommend!

What we loved:- Private beach is only a few minutes away, and is much quieter than surrounding beaches. There was always ample parking.- Quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Surrounded by nature - we particularly enjoyed watching the osprey fish. - Beautiful view from the dock, we experienced some beautiful sunsets. Low light pollution - can clearly see the stars at night- Great for pets, the backyard backs to water and the rest fully is fenced off.- Spacious rooms and clean bathrooms. High ceilings in the living room.- Great for families. Lots of games and activities provided. Lots of fishing supplies provided. My son and I enjoy catching crabs right off the deck.- Well stocked kitchen. My wife and I like to cook, and we weren’t missing anything in the kitchen. Great appliances we particularly enjoyed the craft ice maker.- Pool is pretty and is fun in the evening with its colorful lights.Great location that’s close to great restaurants in Duck- Homeowner was responsive and made checkin seamless.Areas for improvement:- Jacuzzi only heated at specific times and for a fee.- Kayaks cost extra, and they are hard to get them into the water - the path was not clear.- The top bunk could use a guard rail, was nervous about having our son sleeping there. - The pedal boat was a little flimsy.- Check-out time was too early.

Fantastic home and location

Excellent host and exactly as described. The screened in porch was situated next to the pool with a great view of the sound. It was a great gathering place. The pool is a good size that we could all enjoy. We had the master bedroom on the main floor which was great. The 4 kids were in an upstairs bedroom with the the parents in the upstairs master. We never heard them. My daughter and granddaughter were in the boathouse and they loved the privacy. Kitchen was well stocked with spices, utensils and pots and pans. Tara, the host had a welcome basket with goodies and fun prizes for the kids which was very thoughtful. There was great communication and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended!

the best house

We’re two families who have travelled together for nearly 15 years - and without doubt this was our very favorite house. Everything was perfect: right next to the inland water that people call The Sound (we rented kayaks)with a view from every room. We saw a sea otter, an osprey catch a fish, herons… Ten minutes or less to the beach where you have special access - there we saw dolphins. Duck is the nearest town - loved that too. Inside there was thoughtful low key modern decor, orchids, a separate room for our teenagers over the boathouse, impeccably stocked kitchen and bathrooms - plus a host who really went extra mile to put up with an awkward request and was fully available. We’re already talking about next year.

Wonderful family getaway!

The property is in a really beautiful setting in Southern Shores with amazing views over the sound -- mornings and evenings well spent watching nature's show from the fully screened-in porch or the end of the dock. The house worked really well for our group of 5 adults, 5 kids (ranging in age from 3-10) and dog. Plenty of room for all 5 kids in the bunk room, two great-sized bedrooms in the house for the adults, and the added benefit of privacy in the separate boathouse accommodation. The pool was ideal for us, as it has a very wide, shallow step, which allowed the 3 yo to play confidently while her older sisters/cousins swam in the main part of the pool. We alternated mornings at the pool with afternoons at the beach -- parking permits for beach access included -- or other nearby activities (water park, dolphin cruise etc.) OBX has much to offer for a family vacation, and Surround Sound was a fantastic base. Owner was really communicative, attentive and available. We would happily return.

Beautifully sited home, great for boaters and golfers

The main part of the home is updated and comfortable and the upstairs can accommodate several guests. We had a few very minor complaints (not enough TP!, cookware a little damaged). Overall however this is a nice house and Tara, the owner, is very friendly, responsive and easy going. The view is incredible from almost anywhere in the house; the landscaping is beautiful (I especially enjoyed the gardenia bush); having a private pier from which to fish or crab is wonderful; the pool table and indoor basketball hoop were a lot of fun; was nice to have a good grill; and the beach chairs are comfy and easy to carry. Duck is s cute little town. The downsides: not an easy walk to the beach though there are parking passes and there is plenty of parking; no pool and not on the beach; the Sound looks gorgeous but doesn’t look clean enough to swim in; and the heat and humidity this time of year made it difficult to enjoy long walks or runs.

We very much appreciate your feedback! It is true summer is sunny and humid at the beach! If you enjoy a shaded tree canopy, I suggest walking or biking to the beach. If it is too hot, take the 5 min drive and use the parking passes, showers, and easy beach access! The Sound water is darker than the ocean because it is fed from rivers. We agree that a pool would make our home even better and ie we are adding one this fall! Guest next year can enjoy a custom pool, hot tub, and tanning ledge looking over the beautiful sound! Come back in the Fall or Spring for cooler temps!

Great Home But Not Fully Furnished and Misleading Description

The photos of this home are spot on. It is located in a quiet neighborhood with direct access to the sound. The house is spacious and for the most part comfortable. I did thoroughly enjoy having the sound in the backyard. It is very special and we enjoyed our morning coffee and happy hour on the pier! What I found frustrating was the misleading description as the beach is about a 30 min walk (1.4 miles) and the Duck Boardwalk is a 26 min bike ride (1.9 miles according to Google Maps). So the location is farther than stated. Also, we only had one bike for half the time so that was disappointing. It is just frustrating to be given inaccurate information. I do not appreciate being misled. With this, we found it frustrating not to have a fully furnished home, as it would be with a professionally managed vacation home. We did not have any: *extra pillows *blankets *serving utensils *platters *trivets * starter paper towel * place to hang clothes (wet and dry) in the main bedroom, nor drawers *body soap *chairs on the upstairs balcony. Also frustrating: * only 2 dish towels * a dirty sponge along with a used and dirty rag that was left on the TV shelf *dirty coffee carafe The owner told me to go to Walmart to get these things if I needed them. I found this disappointing and rude. It would have been so easy to have the housekeeper come to drop them off. The other disappointing issue was the owner's closet's lights remained on and that was such a waste of energy. Again, this is a lovely home and the owner was responsive with communicating via text. We would rent it again, knowing that we would need to provide some items. It is just too bad that it is not professionally managed as it could be a 5-star place.

Shari, We do appreciate your feedback. The distance to the beach depends on which beach access you choose. For future renters, we provide starter supplies so you do not have to immediately go to the store. This includes TP, paper towels, dish soap, new sponge, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and much more! Our goal is to make you comfortable and provide a relaxing experience!

Lovely property, a few comments

Five girlfriends and I rented this house for a week in early June 2021 for a 50th birthday girls trip getaway. The host was overall good with communication and did let me know that this property was new to her and we were her first VRBO guests. The property is lovely and as described. It's roomy, light and bright, and the grounds and dock are charming. But we did have a few issues, the main one being fleas in the downstairs areas (living room/dining area). We contacted the host who offered to send someone in to spray for fleas. But we did not want them spraying chemicals while we were still staying there, which felt like a health hazard to us. The listing includes the promise of a pedal boat, which floated away before we arrived. The host later contacted us to say it had been recovered and was at the Marina if we wanted to go get it. While we did want use of the boat -- it's one of the reasons we rented this particular VRBO -- it would have been difficult to get it, and it would have been great if the owner could have had it brought back to the property for us. Other things to note: the beach is a 25-minute walk, so it would be good to clarify that - much easier to drive or bike. The host supplies enough paper products and soap (toilet paper, hand soap, etc.) to get you started, but you will need to purchase more for the week. We had to clean the outdoor gas grill ourselves (from whomever used it last). There's a small rip in the screened-in porch which makes it buggy and hard to use after dark. None of these things in-and-of themselves are deal breakers. But considering we were paying a competitive price in a sought-after vacation destination, we expected a bit more. The host was very responsive and communicative, and is working hard to improve the property. The location is terrific and overall the property is comfortable and offered many amenities, like outdoor seating areas, the fire pit, pool table, bikes, beach chairs, strong air conditioning and strong wifi. A ladder from the pier into the water would be great too!

Walk - we provide a cooler and beach cart for chairs/towels (20 min stroll) Bike - we provide 2 comfort bikes and lock (5-10 min) Drive - we provide 2 parking passes to the home owners beach access with bathrooms and showers! (5 minutes). Also glad you enjoyed the new air conditioning systems!! Surround Sound is a new acquisition for our family but we are not new to VRBO. We are rated as "premier host" because we work hard for each guest to have a top notch vacation! Thanks so much for your visit and so glad you enjoyed an OBX birthday!

It was amazing!! Close to the beach, which was not crowded and there is parking and a lifeguard! Then just out of the beach traffic, in the other direction , was a few minute drive to grocery stores which made it so easy to arrive and do our shopping for the week. The views are phenomenal, the wildlife was too, we saw a deer, a fox, sea otter, osprey, and a blue heron that were all right in the yard with a picturesque back drop of the water. The sunset from the dock was amazing and our favorite evening spot, there were literally no bugs and a warm breeze every night! We were able to explore Duck, just a short drive up the road and took a trip down to Nags Head, all easy drives and this really was the perfect location for going up or down OBX. Tara was a fantastic host, responsive to all our questions, reachable by text and phone and just so friendly. We already let her know we are planning to come back next year, we don't think any other place would even compare!!

Wow, you are so kind to note the exceptional nature of our location! We would love to have you back next year! Don't forget we are working to make it even better by adding our own pool overlooking the water! Coming Summer 2022! Tara

Memories Made

We had a wonderful time with almost perfect sunny weather during the last week of June 2021. The home is beautifully decorated and well-maintained on the sound with a lot of extra amenities. The owner was very easy to communicate and touched base with us several times prior to arrival to ensure that check-in went smoothly. The beach chairs, towels, beach bags, and wagons provided by the home were a nice touch and eliminated the hassle of having to pack as much. The street out-front was very quiet with little to no traffic and the kids enjoyed riding their hoverboards on it in the evenings. The pop-a-shot, paddle boats, and Clue game were favorites with the kids and kept them entertained during the time we spent in the house. They also really enjoyed having Alexa play "What does the Fox say?" and using it to pull up Just Dance songs/videos. The yard and landscaping around the house were really nice and we loved the hammocks and firepit area (which was fully stocked with wood when we arrived) and roasting marshmallows in the evenings, though be prepared that if there is not a breeze the bugs can be pretty bad at night (though this is standard for all homes in the Outer Banks, so not specific to this home & more of a general warning for first time visitors to the island). We opted to drive to the private beach access each day as walking with 5 small kids wasn't realistic, but the drive was short, there was plenty of parking and the beach we choose had very friendly lifeguards on duty all week. We really enjoyed the location overall as it was close drive to multiple grocery stores and downtown Duck. The sound provided beautiful Sunset views each evening from the dock. Overall we had a fantastic week with friends and would highly recommend this property for families.

Amanda, I am so pleased to know you enjoyed our home and took such great care of it! I can picture the kids dancing to "Who let the Fox Out". What fun!

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

We have been searching for a beach house for over 15 years.
It was the perfect combination of beach access, waterfront, sunsets to live for, privacy, trees, wildlife galore, peacefulness, and easy access to every thing!

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

Sound front is priceless. Staring at the water relaxes my soul! Literally water views from every single room!
