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.
During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Outer Banks Beaches. Enjoy features like laundry facilities. Enjoy your stay with amenities like 2 bathrooms and a TV in the cottage.

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.

Wonderful location and neighborhood. Quiet and short walk to the beach.
The house is comfortable and feels private due to the trees and shrubbery while being close to the beach and the main attractions in Duck. The host was responsive and helpful, much appreciated.
Taylor’s house is in such a great location at end of cul de sac. communication was always quick and accurate. such a special experience being able to take pets with us. great access to wonderful beach, yet home feels like you are in your own private retreat.
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.
This is a great place to stay for a large family or a few adults. The Hugh deck and screened in pouch are great for rainy morning or relaxing in the evening.
We had such a wonderful time at Wave Den! Everything was very clean, things were easy to find! We loved how there were things for the beach as well as cornhole! It is so close to the beach and the neighborhood was easy to navigate. Would definitely stay here again!
We enjoyed our stay here the home had all the amenities we needed for the week in the kitchen and for the beach also plenty of room for 7. I especially loved the deck for my morning coffee location was great too we did morning walks on the beach everyday!
This was the perfect house for our family! Lots of outdoor space and very clean and nice inside! Kitchen was very well stocked with cookware and utensils! A short walk to the beach and a great little community with friendly neighbors!
Great property. Everything was exactly as described. Easy walk to the beach and to the sound. Very quiet neighborhood. Would love to stay at this location again.
We love this house! Awesome location! Plenty of space. The screened in porch is wonderful! A great place to spend your evenings with your family.
Bonus - a 5 minute walk to the beach!
The perfect size home for comfortable days at the beach. Nice neighborhood, easy beach access and a very relaxing , well kept home that invites us back year after year. Thanks so much for being dog-friendly!
Taylor was very quick to respond to any texts I sent her. The overall cleanliness was very clean, needs a good power wash on the outside but mattresses were comfortable, kitchen pretty well stocked, and a short walk to the beach! We would stay here again and stay longer!
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.
We loved this cute cottage ! Plenty of space, clean, nice size bedrooms, big decks and we loved the screened in deck. Great space to enjoy your morning coffee and playing games in the evenings. And a GREAT location, a short walk to the beach and the sound. We absolutely loved it. We definitely will be back !
We all enjoyed this cozy cottage, especially the screened porch. Room enough for all. The beach was close enough and the beach cart made taking the gear easy. Taylor, the manager was quick to help with questions we had. Nice place.
It was our second year at the house. It is cozy and as described. Nice, private neighborhood and beach.
It could use new appliances and a more thorough cleaning but we had a great stay overall.
We will be back next year!
Our stay at this house was just perfect! It was clean, easy to find, perfect location and had everything we needed! We appreciate that it is dog friendly! We would highly recommend this property and will probably be back!! Some nice features were the keypad entry to the house, A/C, Adirondack chairs and like new washer/dryer. The location is ideal, you can walk to the beach and bike or drive into duck. The house was VERY clean and comfortable.
We really enjoyed our week - loved the location - a small cul-de-sac about 3 blocks from the beach. We mad a lot of use of the cart to bring stuff to and from the beach. A bunch of the beach chairs that were available for use were broken, but we loved using the umbrella. It’s a quiet setting and the neighbors were nice. When we had questions, the owners were very responsive.
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.
