Excellent stay
Loved the house and location. Property Mgr was very responsive when I had questions. Nice that the house was so close to the community center pools and tennis courts; they should update their game room and playground - especially their swings.

Beautiful Home in Duck
This house was clean, modern, and perfectly located for a walk to the beach or a walk into town. The neighborhood pools were easily accessed and clean as well. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to the next one.

Great Location
We had a great stay with family at the house. The location was perfect - a quick walk to either a beach or town, and we loved being close to the clubhouse for some pool time. The size and set up of the house was perfect for our extended family - everyone had space to be comfortable, but also congregate as a family.

Awesome Extended Family Reunion Site
We loved our special family reunion here celebrating our parents' anniversary and mom's milestone birthday. This was the PERFECT house to provide us with easy beach access, pool access (but not at the house so didn't have to worry about small children escaping and falling in), and Duck boardwalk access. We rented bicycles and spent the whole week just in Duck doing the shops, swimming, and beach stuff. Lots of space for hanging out, and our kids especially loved the covered outdoor hangout room w/ games and a tv & couch.

Fantastic house!
Great house. Very clean and well maintained. There was an awesome “outdoor living room” (as our kids called it) — a covered outdoor area with sectional couch, bar, and TV. And the third floor deck with picnic table etc was facing away from the sun in the evenings, so perfect for shady breezy dinners. Kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and so on. Owner was very helpful and communicative. The community has two outdoor pools and one indoor pool. You see the same families at the beach each day since it’s a private beach for the community, which makes it easy for kids to make friends. This house is a solid (and sunny) 8-minute walk to the beach, but there is a wagon at the house which makes the walk easier. And you are super close to so many shops and restaurants, and the Duck boardwalk which is lovely. All around a great house!

Great house in Schooner Ridge!
My family loves vacationing in this neighborhood and Heather's house was just what we needed for a relaxing week away! The house is steps from the community center with an indoor/outdoor pool, playground and tennis courts. It's an easy walk to the private beach access and outdoor pool. They provide a wagon to get all of your gear to the beach or there is parking for neighborhood use only. Easy walk to food and shopping. Heather was also so gracious with my husband and me when we locked ourselves out despite the easy instructions for access to the house! Thanks for a great trip, Heather!

A fabulous home for our Duck vacation!
We LOVED Duck and 186 Schooner's Ridge was perfect for our family of 10. Grandkiddos camped out in bedroom w/ double bunks and queen bed. All 3 sets of adults had queen or king beds. The kitchen was fabulous and fully stocked. The table seated 10 and family room was large. We loved the hot tub and outdoor game room w/ picnic table and grill. The pictures are perfect. This home was clean with comfortable furnishing and close to the beach, boardwalk, and Duck donuts! We'd love to come back.

Amazing amenities and location
We’ve stayed at Duck before and knew this location was central to all we wanted but we did not know just how much comes with the house. The pools were amazing, especially the ocean side pool. The tennis courts were great, we also checked out ping ping and ice hockey in the community center game room. And then there is all the beach equipment you could need including 4 extra bikes to get around town and a beach wagon. We brought too much! Such a great property.

Totally Topped Off All the Way!
Honestly the house was even better than the pictures depicted online!!! Clean, well decorated, comfy beds and cool layout. Perfect for our small group and gave us plenty of space but allowed for happy hour and some fun hang out time as well. Location near the rec building for gym and late afternoon chill at the pool was ideal. We walked more on this vacation than any other except for our trip to Italy! We absolutely loved the proximity to the shops and restaurants in town. So much to choose from and all dinners out were amazing. NC Coast was the best, then Blue Point, then Aqua, Coastal Cravings, and Village Tavern in that order in terms of deliciousness. Sunsets off the boardwalk were gorgeous and there were lots of places to sit outside, listen to live music and eat ice cream. Shopping, coffee, sweets, açaí bowls and smoothies galore. We also did the safari tour of the wild horses and saw a record 33 horses! Rented jet skis one day as well! Loved Duck so so much and Topped Off was the ideal rental home that we would most definitely return to and recommend!! Thank you, Heather!

We stayed with couple of families that we enjoy vacationing with. Location was great for a quick walk into town or the beach. The downstairs lounge area with games was the biggest hit! We loved it and spend a lot of time there. And the community center was a 1 minute walk, very convenient. Would recommend!

Beautiful ocean destination
This was our family's and extended family's first visit to Duck and to the Outer Banks. We can't say enough good things about the home and location! Our group of 10 fit very comfortably in this home. The home is spacious, very clean, very nicely decorated, comfortable and had truly everything needed (from beach toys to kitchen accessories) to have an enjoyable stay. The home is situated in a community that offers amenities such as pools, a gym and beach-all of which we could walk to. The home is also walking distance from the downtown. The beach and downtown in Duck were the highlights of this trip for us. Everyone in our group (all ages spanning from early childhood, to teens, young adults and adults) had something to do and enjoy. Last, but certainly not least the host Heather is extremely attentive and helpful. She provided a lot of helpful information and was available if we needed any assistance. I would highly recommend this vacation home.
