Enjoy a stay in one of our lovely Duck vacation rentals in Carolina Dunes, an ocean to sound community located on the northern Outer Banks, about a mile from the center of Duck. This location is perfect for those seeking a level of secluded comfort within a convenient distance from Duck Village. The multi-use path that lines the entire seven mile stretch of Duck passes Carolina Dunes; therefore, shops, dining, and family friendly activities are a short stroll or bike ride away from your vacation home. Featuring a private pathway to the Currituck Sound and a number of private oceanside boardwalks, ensures easy access to both beach and sound from any vacation rental home. To the south you’ll find the Duck Research Pier, a private research facility constructed by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1977. During the high season, the pier offers limited daily tours. Rentals in this location are built on a series of high rolling dunes, so most homes offer serene ocean or sound views. Please refer to the individual property pages, as they showcase a photo of each home’s view. Providing ocean to sound access and homes within a comfortable distance to the town of Duck, Carolina Dunes is an excellent setting for your family’s Outer Banks vacation.
