We had a spectacular time! The house was even larger than it looked in the pictures and SOMEHOW it was incredibly private but also a one minute walk to multiple restaurants & general stores and also you get nightly live music Roadside Grill. The pools were lovely but I’d love this place in the winter too. Thanks for everything! ~Lisa- Lisa , Posted: 08/25/2026
Our second time staying here. . Close to everything in Duck. Walk to shops and restaurant. Nicely decorated cottage. Good for 4 faults and three children. Close to the beach.- Lorraine W. , Posted: 07/16/2026

The house was delightful. It was a girl cousins (4 adults) trip and the location was perfect. We had plenty of room and the house was very well appointed with everything we needed to enjoy eating in! The only thing we would suggest is stronger trash bags!! Thank you!- Deborah W. , Posted: 11/10/2025

We loved the pool! The pool furniture was clean, comfortable and seemed new and very sturdy. The entire house was up to date and so so clean. The beach chairs and wagon were so handy to take to the beach. Your kitchen is beyond well stocked for cooking and so many dishes for our family of 8! Such a perfect house for 8 people to have their own space and still eat together at the big dining room table! The live music at the nearby bar is a huge bonus in the evenings (we actually went there one night for drinks) and Tullio’s Bakery (walking distance) is a must. Gluten free options and so delicious! The air conditioner worked very well for as hot as it was outside. Beds were very comfortable and the couches were too. I can’t praise this house enough. We were happy about everything. Your decorations and decor are so nice and we really enjoyed our first outer banks experience!- Donna , Posted: 07/23/2025
Hero's Retreat
As advertised - Great location and very nice house.- Bill B. , Posted: 07/10/2025
The location of the house and the house was great. Walking distance to the city and most of the attractions. Stores, bakeries, cafes, ice cream shops, you name it, right across the street. The house was very nicely decorated and set up on the inside. Walking distance to the beach, making it very convenient. The pool and spa was amazing and made the trip 10x better. Overall, great house for a family vacation when looking to explore the Outer Banks area.- Anna , Posted: 06/21/2025
We had a wonderful time at Hero’s Retreat in beautiful Duck.The house was comfortable and the pool/hot tub was perfect! We opted to rent the golf cart and we are glad we did so because it helped tremendously getting back and fourth from the beach. We would absolutely rent again.- Josie L. , Posted: 06/13/2025

Heroes Retreat
I want to start off by saying that this property is fantastic, as advertised, and a magical place that we will surely return to visit. 5 stars overall! There were only a few very minor issues with the door code at check in, and response times on what the new codes were over the weekend. It was nothing major and certainly didn’t impact our stay in a major way. We loved it, and would love to come back.- Adam M. , Posted: 08/21/2024
The location was great! It is within walking distance of many restaurants, bars, and shopping (most importantly, Duck Donuts!). The pool was great and the beach was a quick bike ride. The house was exactly as it was described; it was clean, spacious, and perfectly equipped for our family. Besides the weather, we had a great week!- Joseph , Posted: 08/10/2024
We loved how the beach, shops, restaurants, and bars were all in a walkable distance, even for a toddler! It was a perfect location! We enjoyed the live music from the bar next door and of course the pool and hot tub. And we really liked that we were able to have meals together on the balcony. Would definitely recommend!- Monica , Posted: 08/04/2024
My husband and I and are two kids stayed here recently. It was the perfect location. Right next to shops, food places and beach. The house was perfect. Very welcoming and fun. We loved the pool especially. It was in great condition! We can’t wait to come back!- Amanda , Posted: 08/01/2024
This is a perfect cottage. Great location within close walking distance to the Duck playground and town meeting area., pizza and ice cream shops. The house is nicely decorated and landscaped. We had a 4 night stay in peak season which allowed us to skip the usual busy traffic check in days.- Lorraine W , Posted: 07/13/2024
