Sunrise to sunset, Loafing Around is the best beach house by far!
We’ve been vacationing in Duck and Corolla for over eight years, staying in five different homes, and this one is our absolute favorite. I almost don’t want to write this review because it feels like I’m giving away our secret place!
We’ve stayed here three times now and already can’t wait to come back next summer. The location is perfect, an easy walk to the beach for breathtaking sunrises and an even shorter walk to the sound for incredible sunsets.
One of my favorite things about this house is how truly welcoming it feels. I love that the owners have family photos throughout the home. Instead of feeling like just another rental, it feels warm, and full of love. I absolutely love being surrounded by the family photos, it makes the house feel so much more personal.
The house is thoughtfully stocked with everything you could need, it’s always spotless, and it’s obvious the owners take great pride in keeping it that way.
The pool and hot tub are always a hit with our family. The hot tub could probably use an update, but we still enjoyed it every day. And I have to mention the quilt on the king bed on the mid-level, I have no idea where they found it, but it’s the softest bedding I’ve ever slept with! I’m actually going to see if I can find one online so I can have a piece of vacation at home with me.
One of the best parts of staying here is the memories we make together. Our kids are growing up way too fast, and these trips have become something we all look forward to every year. We love walking the Duck Boardwalk, browsing the shops at Scarborough Faire and Timbuck II, grabbing breakfast at Lighthouse Bagels, taking a day trip to Manteo, going on late-night ghost crab walks, and having a seafood boil from Fat Crabs.
Loafing Around has truly become part of our family’s summer tradition. If you’re looking for a home that feels comfortable, cared for, and filled with heart, this is it. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it, and we’ll definitely be back!
