130 Keepers Loft

We loved the low key quiet atmosphere of Duck, how close we were to the beach, and crabbing from the dock. We took bikes and rode to town a few times. The house was just as described and pictured. We will look for the listing again next year. It was a great vacation and my Husband couldn’t stop saying how much he loved it also.

This was the first time that we stayed sound side and I was a little nervous at first but this turned out to be the best OBX stay that we've had! The dock/gazebo was absolutely perfect and we spent more time under the gazebo than we ever stayed out on the beach during other stays. We did luck out that no one had rented the other half of the duplex during the time we were there, so the gazebo was private for us. The description of the property is accurate so I'll provide the answers to things I was curious about when booking: Water pressure: Great! Shower heads: Nice size w/removable hand held nozzle Hot water: Wasn't a problem for us 3 girls (me and 2 daughters) Beds: Comfortable for us. The mattresses are firm, which I like but others may not. Bedframes are sturdy wooden so no squeaky noises when you roll over! Kitchen: Didn't really use, we ate out our entire visit; however, the knives provided are very very dull. We picked up some melons at the market and the knives could not peel/cut them. Dock/Gazebo: very sturdy. Boards look relatively new as if maybe updated recently but definitely stable! Beautiful sunsets! Size: the house is small but was perfect for our needs and would definitely stay there again.

Nice space for a small group, I would say comfortably would fit four adults. Good location in the northern part of Duck within walking distance to at least one nice restaurant. Caution - bring bug spray! Being on the sound side means lots of bugs!

This is a cozy and comfortable home with a WONDERFUL dock and BEAUTIFUL views of the sound!!! It is also a very quick bike ride or walk to the Ocean. The kitchen was very well stocked with nice pots, pans, dishes etc. which was very nice since we were intending on cooking most of our meals. The only reason I hesitate to give this a 5 star rating is there were areas where the home could use a little bit of TLC. The decks have wonderful views but were in need of upkeep and resulted in a splinter in a hand holding on the rail to come up the stairs and another splinter walking on the deck with no shoes. We were able to deal with this but this might have been more challenging with a young child or elderly person. The chairs on both decks are also in need of upkeep and we wished for a small table to enjoy a meal on the deck or to have something to set a drink on. Some of the hardware holding towel rings up in the upper bathroom could use some securing and the bed were comfortable enough but upgrades would make this stellar. I mention these only for the owner's benefit as I know these are simple up keeps to address. We really enjoyed really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend!

We have stayed in this little house several times and already have the next week booked. It is very easy to access many points of interest from it's centralized location. The house is just the right size for either just a couple of a family to be comfortable.

We've stayed in this house at least four times and will stick with it. It's modest but fine for a small family. The soundside pier/dock is the highlight; great for fishing, crabbing, kayaking, etc., or to just hang out in the evening. A quick jaunt to the ocean or to town. Affordable rent means more money for everything else when on vacation.
