Experience the nautical life when you stay at this cozy 3 bedroom beach cottage in Duck.

Prepare meals in the beautifully renovated kitchen with an eat-in dining area, or eat outside on the screened-in porch with an outdoor dining table. After a day at the beach, rinse off in the enclosed outside shower and then relax on the sun deck with cocktails and conversation.
Situated in the Bayberry Bluffs community in the heart of Duck, A Captain's Tale is within walking distance to the best shopping and dining in town, including The Waterfront Shops, The Blue Point, and Tommy's Natural Foods Market & Wine Shop.

"We loved our stay at Captain’s Tail! It was close to the beach and an easy walk into town. The kitchen was well stocked, the renovations were well done and the outdoor shower was one of the cleanest and nicest I’ve seen in Duck!! The home was cozy and we enjoyed our week there. We will be back soon!"

"We had a bad rental experience last year so we were thrilled to see how nice 132 Cook Drive was! Everything was freshly painted, the interior was very nice, the house had a lot to offer, and it was super close to the beach and duck village. We will definitely rent this property again!"

"Oh Captain, My Captain! - A Captain’s Tale was a fantastic place to stay for our family - top to bottom. The property looked like the photos and was even better. Every detail of the house seemed so well planned and was only minutes from either the beach or grabbing ice cream in town! Highly recommend!"

"Beautiful quaint home! - Our first stay in Duck was wonderful. This house was very clean, has a well-stocked kitchen, and is tastefully updated. We enjoyed eating breakfast out on the screened in porch listening to the ocean waves. The master bedroom mattress was very comfortable as well. We will definitely consider this house again if we come back to Duck."

"This house was perfect for my family of four and exceeded my expectations! The entire rental process, check in and check out went smoothly. The rental company responded promptly when contacted. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you needed and more to prepare meals! The location is perfect, a short walk into town and an even shorter walk to the beach. The provided beach chairs, umbrella and wagon was a nice addition to not have to bring from home. Can't wait to come back next year!"

"Labor day beach weekend - We loved our stay at this property in Duck. The house is a short walk to the beach. The house was very clean and had all the appliances we needed. It also had some beach chairs, umbrella, and even a few boogie boards you can use. We brought our own beach stuff, but its there if needed. There is also a beach wagon in the laundry room to help you cary your stuff to the beach. We really enjoyed having coffee on the screened in porch in the mornings. The house is located by many restaurants that are a short drive away. We recommend Aqua, Sunset Bar and Grill and Duck Donuts. My family and I all agreed we would definitely stay here again."
