Guest recommendations
"Decoy is a smaller house with a very homey feel to it. It's perfect for a couple or a small family. The kitchen is wonderful and well-stocked with everything you need for your stay, plus there are two refrigerators which helped us out a lot. The view is spectacular, and there is plenty of outdoor seating. You can tell the owners take great pride in their home."
"We love the home in general, but particularly appreciate its classic Outer Banks character, updated kitchen, basketball hoop (please keep maintaining it), charcoal grill and chimney, and views from the top deck."
"The view! Kitchen had everything! Beds were comfortable. I know people like the rain shower head and you can turn the head so the water comes out in the middle but someone like me with a lot of thick hair it takes forever to rinse with that shower head. Maybe one bathroom could have a different one. This is our 3rd time @ Decoy and we have enjoyed it every time."
"Decoy is a great home. Nice new stuff in the kitchen, which has been remodeled. A convenient oceanfront home with all of the amenities. And when you read the reviews on their notebook at the home, you know they have been doing this for many years. Here’s hoping they continue to do so!"
"View is wonderful! Convenient location, cottage is traditional with all you would need for the beach. Plenty of deck space for all!"
"Closeness to the beach, well equipped kitchen, multiple refrigerators. Plenty of seating both inside and outside the house."
"The porches provided a haven from the rain and wind. The home was well stocked for cooking needs. Loved the layout of the house for guests to spread out. Two refrigerators were nice. Home was clean and well kept."
"Perfect size for us Perfect location to beach and the town! Home is on excellent condition"
"Very, very clean and well supplied.Love the beach access improvement."
"great location, comfortable home"
"Location"
"Appreciated that the house was throughly cleaned with all beads made. The home was spacious with excellent ocean front views."
"Love Decoy. We enjoyed the cottage for 18 visits with never more than 5 in the house for the week. Well equipped kitchen, good beds and baths. Very comfortable beach house. We enjoyed using the beach when we could get to it easily—no longer possible to do easily. After all the years, we have decided the stairs are becoming more difficult and the trek to the beach isn’t fun any longer. So regretfully, I think our years at Decoy are over."
"The view of the ocean was fantastic! The ease of access to the beach was great. The kitchen was very well stocked with many of the tools that we normally have at home. We loved the keyless entry - no need to keep track of a key! There were also many sand toys and extra chairs for the beach. The many chairs on the decks and ground level were fantastic. We really loved our family vacation at Decoy."
"Classic beach home “feel”. Nicely designed and equipped kitchen. Excellent view of the beach with easy access (but a little bit of a climb coming back!). Nice decks with comfortable Adirondack chairs. Choice of gas and charcoal grills. B-ball hoop on the driveway. Being on the north side of Duck, good access to both Duck and Corolla. First time staying at Decoy but our favorite of the 3 Twiddy homes we have stayed in."
"We love this cottage! So much we have been coming to Decoy for 34 years! We love the charm of the original cottages from days gone by, yet the modern conveniences of all you need daily. Well stocked with all you need.The view is spectacular and a great place to make memories with friends and family."
"I love the beach so being oceanfront, watching pelicans and dolphins, sitting on the sand, going into the water is my version of heaven on earth. The price is lower (I do not need a pool, pool table, ping pong, or tv in my bedroom). It’s hidden. It is quiet. It’s true vacation. Room for relatives, place for games and meals. Perfect."
"Decoy’s oceanfront location is superb. Property was clean,cozy, and well organized. The kitchen is especially well organized and wonderfully equipped. The kitchen and the bathrooms are updated (btw, the sink in the upstairs bathroom does not hold the water). We especially liked that the decks provide seating on three sides. This was our second time staying in Decoy and will probably rent it again."
"Location, appearance and privacy were key."
"Love this home. Have been going for years."
"The house is located perfectly right on the beach but quiet and somewhat secluded. It is well equipped and very homey and comfortable!"
"We love Decoy so much that this year was our 33rd year staying there! The view is spectacular, the upper deck is perfect to relax, read, nap, etc. The house is well appointed and just a perfect real beach house! The owners are just delightful too!"
"We love that the house is right on the beach. It’s so nice to sit on the balcony and watch the ocean. The newly remodeled kitchen looks awesome."
"Decoy is a lovely place to spend a week. The view from the top deck is stunning. Walking on the beach and watching the sun rise was wonderful. Can’t wait to return."
"Wonderful Place!"
"Quaint, comfortable, well maintained home that we love! Ever since we rented it 16 years ago we have rebooked every year! We have already sent our deposit in for next year!!!!"
"It is a perfect location, we loved the beach! Everything you need in the kitchen, comfortable place to have fun and be together."
"We have stayed in Decoy Cottage for 32 years in a row! We love it! Our kids grew up there in every summer, now their kids are there too! Such a wonderful welcoming place to be in the summer."
"Love the view and being at the end of the street. Loved the kitchen dining family room area. As well the additional space with a second refrigerator was awesome. Ceiling fans in the bedrooms would be nice"
"Beautiful home with everything you need for your stay. Loved the updated kitchen and the bed we slept on was very comfortable - not all worn out. Plenty of chairs, beach toys and everything else. We especially liked that the home was tucked away at the end of the culdesac and had a private drive."
"We love this cottage! This was our 31st year staying in Decoy. Although it was different due to the “virus”, we were able to relax, enjoy the incredible view, enjoy the beach, cook great meals and see family on the beach and enjoy the deck every afternoon and evening. Perfect place for us and can’t image not spending time there in the summer."
