No “Fowl Play” at this beautiful Duck oceanside house with a Private Pool, Hot Tub, and allows dogs! It even has an ELEVATOR. Stunning appointments include hardwood flooring, granite countertops, and tasteful décor. All six bedrooms have their own master bath and a Smart TV for your own private oasis when you need some quiet time. But if you like to play, this is the house for you! The outside living space around the pool includes ample decking around the pool for plenty of space to hang out and get some sun. Make sure to come in the fall and spring too, because the pool can be heated if you like. The ELEVATOR gives easy access to all floors for any family member and makes unloading and loading up so much easier.

Games galore should be the name here! Inside there is a full-size pool table with a large wet bar for the whole gang, horseshoes, and basketball goal. “Fowl Play” is located right in the middle of Duck Village in Saltaire, for easy walking to the village for shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, vegetable stand, and fish market. This is a great place to walk the dog and see the sights. Or, for the more active set, you can take the multi-use path and walk or bike for miles along the northern Outer Banks down through Southern Shores and up through Pine Island and beyond.

Fantastic!
Fantastic, beautiful house! We always visit Duck and try to stay in the same area, and this was by far our favorite house. Close to everything, well appointed, beautiful and clean. And everything was easy from booking to communication. We loved it!
Monica S from Newton Square, PA - Guest's stay: 4/1/2026 - 4/4/2026
Thank you!
It was well maintained and spacious, plenty of kitchen cookware to use, hot tub was excellent, and they left small bars of soap and toilet paper in each bathroom if you didn't happen to bring any. Overall it was a lovely place to stay, and a quiet neighborhood this time of year.
Grace H from Alexandria, VA - Guest's stay: 11/29/2025 - 11/3/2025
Great time
We had a wonderful time! The whole family enjoyed the pool, the beach, and exploring the town of Duck. The restaurants were fantastic, and the house was perfect—clean, spacious, and well-stocked for both people and pups. The pool towels were a thoughtful and much-appreciated touch!
Stephen M from Dublin, OH - Guest's stay: 7/6/2025 - 7/13/2025
Thank you Stephen for your testimonial regarding "Fowl Play" in Duck. It is great to read that everyone in the family had a great time (even the pups). Please come back again soon!

Beautiful home
This house is a beautiful home that is very well maintained and stocked with what you need for vacation. This was our 1st time coming down this time of year and it was so peaceful. My only bug a boo is they are changing it to not pet friendly for next year. Would rent again, but can't bear to not bring my doggie. :(
carrie n from Depew, NY - Guest's stay: 12/14/2024 - 12/21/2024
Carrie, Thank you for your comments. We appreciate you taking the time to give us this feedback. We have some great news for you. The owners have decided to allow guests to bring their doggies again for 2025. We look forward to welcoming your "whole family" back again soon!

Excellent RENTAL! So Sad to find out...
Just paid our final deposit for Thanksgiving week 2024. This will be our 11th year renting Fowl Play for our annual family gathering, we are so sad to learn it will be our last, the home is already rented for 2025(we always paid the first deposit for the next year over a year in advance, which I was prepared to do today). While we are very disappointed to no longer be able to use our home away from home (plus continue to enjoy the great updates the new owners continue to provide) We wanted to provide one last review in advance-this has been and know it will continue to be an excellent rental!!! Please be sure to share with the owners. Thank you!
Cindy F from Powhatan - Guest's stay: 11/22/2024 - 12/1/2024
Cindy, Thank you for your 5-Star review of this beautiful property. At Outer Banks Blue we open our booking calendars up to two years in advance and this property was booking for Thanksgiving several months ago. We are happy to get you back in the property at another time and serve you again soon. The owners are aware of your comments and appreciate the feedback.

Wonderful!
10th Thanksgiving at Fowl Play! Already booked next year! Love new dishes! Thank you for maintaining the property both inside/outside and always adding some extra touches that it continues to make us all feel we have come home for our annual family reunion!
Cindy F from Powhatan - Guest's stay: 11/17/2023 - 11/26/2023
Cindy, You chose a good one and we thank you for letting future guests know about your experience. Please come back again soon!

GREAT UPDATES!
This was our 9th Thanksgiving in Fowl Play!!! The new owners are making wonderful updates to the home! The new furniture, fresh interior paint and decor very much appreciated! LOVE SEEING THE NEW ATTENTION! The rug throughout the home and tiled showers need attention -note we did not use small tile shower in upstairs bedroom, the tile and grout very much are in need of attention. Almost gave a 4 Star because of the 2 tiled showers poor condition-HOWEVER, in the short time of new ownership the home has received so many other necessary updates we are confident we will see these improvements in time. We used the other available shower units which were in very good condition. We have booked for 2023 Thanksgiving! We are excited with the new ownership that we will be able to call Fowl Play our family Thanksgiving HOME for years to come!

The best Vacation Home in NC
If you are looking for a place to stay for your entire family, this is the best place to be. It’s very close to the beach (about a 5 minute walk). The view from every floor is amazing specially the 3rd floor where all your family members can cook and gather while having fun. They also have a variety of board games and a billiard pool located at the ground floor. And not to mention that this house has an elevator so you don’t have to use the stairs to bring all your groceries upstairs. They even offer a discount if you are a repeater. Our family surely had fun during our stay and we can’t wait to go back!
Sheng G from Virginia Beach -
Mrs
I love the house, very clean. Just a walking distance to the beach and close to everything. If you are looking for a place to stay on your next vacation to Duck, NC, this home is highly recommended.
Anna D from Va Beach - Guest's stay: 7/1/2022 - 7/3/2022
