Description
Round up the entire family for a beach vacation and a lifetime of memories at "The Gathering Place." This spacious oceanfront home boasts stunning views and a location that can't be beat. Getting to the beach is a breeze with a direct walkway from the house to the Schooner Ridge private access. Situated in the heart of Duck, "The Gathering Place" allows guests to safely and easily walk or bike to a variety of shopping, dining and attractions.
The top level main living area is generously sized, with vaulted ceilings and an open-concept layout that maximizes the ocean views. There's also plenty of outdoor space, including a screened porch and sun deck that overlook both the ocean and the private pool area below. All six of the bedrooms include an ensuite bath, so everyone can have their own retreat with plenty of space and privacy. In the evenings, hang out by your private pool, or soak away the day in the hot tub. A dry entry with half bath on the ground level provides convenient access from the pool or beach.
No need to worry about traffic or finding parking around town, since you'll also be just a short walk or bike ride away from the best shopping, dining and activities that Duck has to offer. Attend annual events hosted at the Town of Duck amphitheater directly across the street. There's also a public park complete with soundside boardwalk that takes you on a delightful stroll along the water to a variety of boutiques and restaurants.
When you're not on the beach or exploring town, take advantage of the exclusive community amenities of Schooner Ridge. An indoor heated pool, game room and fitness center are ideal for off-season stays and will keep everyone in your group entertained, even on rainy days. There's also an outdoor pool and tennis court.
Pets allowed - dogs only. No smoking/vaping.

The home was wonderful. And the property company was fantastic.- Posted: 3/28/2025
Candice, thank you for your kind review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciated our team. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!Village Realty staff

the location was great. Check in and check out process was also great. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because several things in the house were broken (the fridge, a few clogged drains, broken pieces of wood, and broken towel rods).- Posted: 8/24/2024

Beautiful location, the pool and hot tub were great! The house is old and needs some maintenance but apart from that we had a great time!- Posted: 4/27/2024

A great place to stay in a quiet area, but close drive to all the spots for fun. The house was clean and a great view on the beach.- Posted: 4/12/2024
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Village Realty is happy to hear that you have enjoyed your stay. We strive to provide an amazing vacation experience, that you and your family will look back onto for years to come. Off season is a wonderful time of the year to explore the outer banks. The shops, beaches and restaurants are certainly slower paced, and you the guest are able to enjoy the sights at leisure. We will be happy to help you with your next vacation booking and look forward to seeing you again. Safe travels! MHVillage Realty staff

Family friendly vacation rental
We booked the house for a small family reunion following a family wedding. We had 3 couples, siblings and spouses. The house is in an awesome location within an east half mile (10 minute) walk to the center of town. Shops, restaurants and bars, Duck Donuts, Kitty Hawk Kites, a mile long boardwalk of shops all within east walking distance from the house. Let’s not forget the BEACH literally steps away! Very private and very few people. The house has a pool (closed for off season) and hot tub. There is an adjacent community pool (also closed for the season). We had a great time visiting. Flew kites on the beach. Took a keep ride to see the wild horses. Visited lighthouses and State and National parks. Are at some excellent restaurants including Cravings (had an excellent lunch) and Blue Point for dinner. Great good. Great weather. Great family. Great times!- Posted: 10/26/2023

Great location
The house is in a great location. It sits right on the beach, but we could get to everything in Duck easily. Great stay!- Posted: 6/24/2023

Rental was awesome. Super close to the beach. House was nearly perfect for our needs. Kids loved having the pool when they got tired of the beach. Only feedback is that the trash bags provided were very thin and a couple broke on us and the griddle provided did not get hot. Other than that, it was a wonderful rental.- Posted: 7/1/2023

The Gathering Place
This is a nice oceanfront property. The place is comfortable, easy parking, nice features as advertised. Kitchen is well equipped. The only negative we noted was the fact that several elec outlets would not hold plugs, like for phone chargers along with a lamp plug.. Suggest an electrician check this out.- Posted: 10/30/2022
Thank you for your feedback and i have placed a maintenance order to look at the outlets.Village Realty staff

Paradise by the ocean
This was a lovely property centrally located in the town of Duck. The pool and hot tub were great and the immediate beach access let us visit whenever we wanted to. During peak season the pool in front might get a bit busy but it seemed like community had it under control. Really enjoyed our stay!- Posted: 6/17/2022
Thank you for your review, Jennifer! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! We hope to have you back againVillage Realty staff
