Clean & Cozy Beach Cottage Close to the Beach

The Wave Den is a quaint 4-bedroom recently renovated cottage tucked away in a private cul-de-sac surrounded by live oaks in the charming Sound and Sea Village of Duck. With only a 5-minute walk (1,000 ft) to one of the best (and most dog friendly) beaches in the Outer Banks, you will be sure to make lots of great memories. There is ample outdoor space to savor the warm sunlight and cool ocean breezes during the spring, summer and fall months. And, if it gets too warm there is a shady area under the house for the kids to play and the family to gather around the grill to dine al fresco. The screened-in porch is the perfect place to quietly enjoy a cup of coffee every morning or sip a glass of wine in the evening. The Sound (beautiful sunsets) is only a short walk away. The nearby bike/walking path are great for exercising, walking the dog, or biking into the town of Duck. It’s the ideal ocean-side retreat to refresh and unwind.

We had a great time at this house, the location was perfect for our needs (e.g., short walk to an excellent beach); the features of the house were great (able to cook meals and dine on the screened in porch); nice quiet spot and only a short drive or bike ride to Duck proper for dinner or ice cream or walking the boardwalk. Fun taking the bike trails north to explore as well.

Very clean and quiet place. A bit dated in the bedroom furnishings and the price was reflective of needing some updates. I would absolutely stay here again. The beach wasnt crowded and most of the street are residents vs rentals.

Loved it

We had a wonderful time here. The house has everything you’d need for the beach, sports equipment, a peaceful screened porch, and a very cozy feeling overall. The beach is a quick walk down a private road, and we really enjoyed our time in Duck, which is quieter than other parts of the OBX but with lots of great restaurants, shops, and a terrific boardwalk on the sound.

Wonderful house with amazing screened-in porch!

Even though our week coincided with a tropical storm, I treasured the time with my two teenagers and our two dogs, particular since my son is about to go to boarding school for his last two years of high school. The host was very communicative and friendly. I asked for suggestions of how we could celebrate my son’s 17th birthday and Taylor gave me quite a few options. The house is clean and adorable. We had no problem walking to the beach and so appreciated the covered space underneath to let our things dry. The hose and outdoor shower were so convenient! Our favorite place to be (especially in the rain) was in the screened in porch!! The house is right in Duck. We would definitely return!

The Wave Den is a Gem!

Our family has never been to OBX. I was toying around with the idea when the Wave Den happen to pop up across my screen from VRBO. It was such a cute little place online, though the pictures do not do it justice at all! We were at home from the moment we walked in. It’s much bigger than you think, especially underneath the house. There’s a spot for everything! Coffee is perfect on the front porch in the early am - with a gorgeous breeze. We will truly miss our pineapple whiskey nightcaps on the back deck with music. The side and front decks are amazing for the night sky after coming off the beautiful beach - especially when you turn off all the lights for the full effect! We cooked at home many nights (but ate out a lot too at all the fabulous nearby places in Duck, Corolla, Kitty Hawk) and the Wave Den has everything you need to make it all perfect - just like home. Keurig, large coffee pot, dishwasher, toaster oven, pots/pans, utensils, grilling tools, washer, dryer, nice sized bathrooms. The bookcases in the living room give it an extra comfy feel, too. The little notes, tips and recommendations on the fridge from the owners were greatly appreciated. Thank you for being so inviting and sharing the Wave Den with others. Our family will never forget this trip and will be back “for shore”!

For our needs a perfect fit, nice neighborhood, easy beach access, pup friendly. Kiddos played basketball, volleyball, rode the rented bikes, much beach time. The home itself very nice without being over the top. The screen porch was perfect for outdoor meals, book reading, kids putting Lego 's together. The inside living area is not huge square footage but very user friendly. Hope to return.

Home away from home

Returning this year and finding “our” house even better than last year was a delight. Freshly painted with new sofas ..delightful! Best of all new copper infused mattress tops that are bacteria and bug resilient…and amazingly comfortable!! All the thoughtful amenities are there as well, Keurig coffee maker, Dyson vacuum, hair dryer, and much more. The A/C is very good. Wi-Fi is just a little slow. As always we arrived to a clean fresh beach bungalow that is secluded in a quite cul-de-sac. The screened porch is perfect for quiet morning coffee and rowdy evening UNO games. Duck NC is a friendly village that has so far resisted high rise super condos.

Charming cottage

The setting for this cozy cottage is wonderful. Besides being a short walk to the beach access it feels so private because it sits at the end of a short road and is surrounded by evergreens. This is an old-fashioned beach community, the kind that is often lost to mega houses. The permanant residents took time to talk with us as we strolled the main road to and from the beach. Some have lived there most of their lives while others have chosen to retire to this special community. The cottage itself is a raised ranch so it has only one set of stairs for those who struggle with 3 and 4 level homes. I gave it only 3 stars for cleanliness because it looked as if the cleaners did only a partial job before leaving. After contacting Taylor, we found out that there was an unavoidable problem with the cleaning crew. She wanted to get someone back out there but we felt that we had already taken care of the most pressing problems ourselves. Still we appreciated her willingness to make things right. Finally I gave the accuracy of the listing a 4 because I felt like some of the positive aspects of the house and the neighborhood were not mentioned and should be. With it's location so near "downtown" Duck and yet Corolla and Nags Head just a quick drive away, Wave Den is a winner.

Even better than last year

We love renting this house in a quiet ,secluded location an easy walk from the beach. We were very happy with the upgrades to the house since we stayed there last year. The carpeting is gone, replaced with easy care linoleum floor throughout which was very easy to keep clean, and not something I had to worry about my dog possibly damaging. The floor looks great too, in keeping with the beachy vibe of the house. The front and back decks are all new, they look terrific. The front stairs with their deep treads easy to traverse with one’s luggage or groceries, what have you. This the perfect relaxing house for a vacation at the shore. Lots of outdoor space to enjoy the beautiful North Carolina weather, the screened in porch perfect for meals with its large round table and 4 large benches and a large, modern new fan overhead, we ate every meal there. The star gazing from the decks is amazing, great for bird watching too. We saw a group of deer walk by one morning too. Previous guests have left various items to share with others renting the house such as paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, spices in the kitchen, etc. We love that. I cannot recommend this house enough, although I don’t want to go on about it too much so that there will be some availability when we want to stay there again!
