About this property

Doodles & Dunes-New Owners, Oceanside, Pool, Hot Tub, Pets OK

  • Welcome to Doodles & Dunes, a beautifully maintained coastal retreat tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after Ocean Crest community in southern Duck. Surrounded by mature live oaks and thoughtfully updated throughout, this inviting home offers the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, and convenience. Best of all, you're just a leisurely bike ride or stroll along the scenic Duck Trail from the boutiques, restaurants, and waterfront boardwalk in the heart of Duck Village.

    Inside, every space reflects the care and attention this home has received. The bright, open-concept great room is designed for gathering, where vaulted ceilings and a custom entertainment wall create an inviting place to reconnect after a day in the sun. The beautifully renovated kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring quartz countertops, custom tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, refrigerated island drawers, a wine cooler, and plenty of room for everyone to gather around while meals and memories are made.

    Step outside to your own private backyard oasis. Spend sunny afternoons lounging beside the sparkling private pool, soak away the evening in the hot tub, challenge the family to a game of cornhole, or let your four-legged companion enjoy the spacious yard. Fire up the grill for dinner, then head up to the crow's nest deck where you'll catch refreshing ocean breezes and a glimpse of the Atlantic as the day winds down.

    Designed with families in mind, the lower-level recreation room provides the perfect hangout for kids and teens, complete with a wet bar, full-size refrigerator, and standalone ice maker to keep drinks and snacks within easy reach. An additional upstairs den creates even more room to spread out—ideal for movie nights, gaming, or curling up with a favorite book.

    Comfortable bedrooms, many with access to expansive covered decks, offer peaceful spaces to recharge after days spent at the beach. Throughout the home you'll find thoughtful upgrades, modern finishes, keyless entry, updated lighting, and newer laundry appliances that make every stay as effortless as it is enjoyable.

    As a guest of Doodles & Dunes, you'll also enjoy Ocean Crest's outstanding community amenities, including private beach access, a community swimming pool, and tennis courts—all just moments from your front door.

    Whether you're planning lazy beach days, family adventures, or simply looking for a peaceful place to unwind, Doodles & Dunes is the kind of home you'll look forward to returning to year after year.

Perfect family home

Our family had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful home. It's proximity to everything was great. There was so much to do at the home and in the area. We got up each morning for the sunrise, completed a huge puzzle off and on during the entire stay, ate at the local restaurants, flew kites, and so much more! The people in this town were so friendly. We really enjoyed our time and hope to visit again.

Wonderful stay

The house was just as advertised and very clean. There were so many extras in the house including a pack n play which we needed for the baby, beach chairs, toys, wagon, etc. The pool and hot tub were great. The location was wonderful and the beach was easy to access and quiet. The owner was very helpful. We had one issue (out of the owners control) that was immediately attended to. Thanks for the great stay.

Something for everyone

This house does not disappoint! So many spaces to enjoy. Stocked with everything you could possibly need: beach chairs, bikes, corn hole, boogie boards, board games, etc! Everything was labeled. Surround sound was fantastic. This house is extremely well thought out and the owners have done an excellent job ensuring you have more than enough things to provide entertainment inside and out. Kitchen well equipped, wine cooler, ice machine, extra refrigerator. Highly recommended!!

Great Time at Bright Dreams Ahead!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was a perfect size for our group, with 5 bedrooms fitting our needs perfectly. Each room also had access to a private bathroom, which was so nice! Decor was great, beads and couches very comfortable, and we made use of the awesome pool and hot tub. The house is affordable and is only a 5-minute walk to the beach, without crossing major roads. The only concern was some crumbs on the floor and dirt on toilets when we arrived, and the house is definitely well used, with stains on cabinets and carpets, and could use an update at some point.

Absolutely perfect!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I cannot say enough positive things about this house and the rental company. This was by far the most well equipped house we have ever rented. From the dishes and utensils to the 6 bikes, multiple beach chairs and tons of games, the owners have thought of everything! The rental company was amazing and super friendly. We had some minor issues that were remedied immediately! The location to the beach and town was great! About a 15 minute walk or 8 minute bike ride to town. About a 5 minute walk to the beach. We would absolutely rent this house again!

This Bright Dreams Ahead property was exactly as described and met our family vacation needs perfectly. The house was very clean and offered everything we needed. There was plenty of space to relax together or on your own, which worked out great because the weather sure did not cooperate the week we were there. The neighborhood was beautiful and the walk to the beach was easy.I would highly recommend this home for your Outer Banks/Duck stay.

Great October Stay!

We spent a lovely week in October at “Bright Dreams Ahead” to celebrate our honeymoon. Rode bikes to the beach each day and enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Christi was wonderful and made sure our stay was extra special. The house is great and stocked with everything you need to cook meals at home.
