Perfect Spot!

Great house in a perfect location! Our family of 4 and little dog had the best time ... very comfortable, right across from the boardwalk to the beach, well-stocked kitchen and comfortable beds ... couldn't have been happier and would definitely return. Thank you so much!

Nice location

It was a great location, wish the yard was more usable and that the light colored carpet and chair were not all stained. Other than that we had a great time and enjoyed ourselves

Although its a pet friendly house, there was no odor at all. The location is fantastic. The house is directly across the street from beach access. It is a nice sort walk or 2 minute drive to Duck shops, boardwalk and restaurants. The house itself is small, but it is not crowded with too much stuff and the sitting area (living room) is comfortable for a group.The house does not have a dishwasher. There are no dishtowels or dish soap provided. Also, there are no screens, except for the front door. We were there in October and would have liked to open windows.

Secret Spot❤️

Cutest little house half a block from the beach right at the edge of the beach access walkway. The rooms are well appointed and the retro fixtues in the bathroom are very cute. The wraparound porch/deck is lovely and gets all of the morning sun. My pup was very comfortable. She spent most of her time laying on the deck watching the passersby. It was exactly what I needed. I’ll be back😊

Cute little house

We thought the house was in a great location, and very clean. We would totally stay there again... There were a few things that we wanted to note. 1 - it looks like the house used to have base board heat - most of the base boards have the covers off and you can see the coils - doesn't seem like the best idea (considering we had to stop our dog from getting in to them all the time). 2 - the Walls in the master bedroom have some paint off of them (wasn't sure if that was known). 3 - the fridge is loud and sounds like it's going to die... thought I'd mention it so a new one can be put in before the next occupants.

Listening to the sound of the sea

What a great stay! We had an excellent first-time vacation in Duck staying at the Secret Spot! Such a great location!! I drank my coffee to the sound of the sea every morning and drank wine listening to the sea every night! The house was clean and comfortable. The walk to the beach was only 1 minute long! The house is also an 10 minute walk to the Duck boardwalk! And did I mention my dog had a great time! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

Enjoyed our stay very much. Well furnished and decorated. Kitchen had everything we needed.Wish we could have windows/slider open, but few screens. I'm sure some would have ac on and windows open.Biggest complaint: no hot water pressure!Inquired while we were there about availability in 2026, but didn't hear back.Thank you for a great vacation!Janet Cerilli

Simple Beach Life

The location of this property is fantastic. Just steps to the sand. Its a typical older home with no frills. That’s perfect for our family as we go for the beach, not the frills. It’s listed as ocean view, but the ocean is not seen from the property. It was great having a washer and dryer on site. I do wish we had thought to bring a hamper with us. 😊 We will definitely stay here again!

The house was very old and in poor shape. There was only one light in the living room, so impossible to read in the evening. We had an infestation of flies, but could not determine the source. There was no dishwasher, and those dishes that had been washed were not clean. The bathrooms were not clean.

It’s a roof over your head

Luckily, I only needed it for a couple days. It was the bare necessities, no dishwasher, no washer and dryer, rooms were small and bathrooms even smaller. The kitchen was old and in need of repair, the refrigerator is loud and kept us up all night. Location was the only saving grace, close to the beach.

Spring Get Away

We enjoyed our stay at Secret Spot. It is clean and covers basic needs, but beyond that, it offers no frills. Unfortunately, it is an older house (avocado green and harvest gold bathroom fixtures), and it shows its age. All rooms are located on one floor, which makes it nice for someone who has a problem climbing stairs, and there is a nice L-shaped porch. It has great internet and nice TV with Roku (but there is no ability to watch local news and weather). As others mentioned, it does not have a dishwasher, and the washer/dryer are in the garage (no interior access to garage, accessed by going outdoors). Other than the above, the best thing about the house is its location. It is an easy walk to the beach and is close to shopping and restaurants in Duck.

Excellent location but dated home with tired amenities. No dishwasher. Rusty kitchen utensils and dish drying rack, broken blender. The rug is stained throughout the house. The armchairs are dirty. No screens on windows, so we couldn't enjoy the evening breeze. Beds are not made when you arrive, and they left zero toiletries for the guests' convenience. No soap of any kind (no hand soap, shampoo, dish soap, detergent...). They only left a small package of dishwasher detergent (for a house that doesn't have a dishwasher). It was surprising that they removed any spices or kitchen essentials left by previous guests. The drain in the bathtub was clogged. We reached out to the management company but they didn't come to fix it. Some of the issues would have an easy fix, but this place is not kept up to Vrbo standards.
