Fun at Fun in the Sun!
The property was great. Plenty of room, nice furnishings, comfortable beds, and a very nice kitchen that was stocked well. We enjoyed the pool very much, and the walk to the beach was quick. The only issue I had was that the glass tables were not wiped down very well, and the counter behind the kitchen table was very dusty. Everything else was great. The owner is very kind and full of information about the area and we listened to his suggestions for dining out and were happy with those choices. We had a very enjoyable week at Fun in the Sun!

Best Vacation Ever
My family has been vacationing at the Outer Banks for at least a decade. We've stayed in multiple houses and, while each house has its unique features and charms, Fun in the Sun is by far the best property I've encountered. The house is exceptional, featuring many amenities and a prime location. Fun in the Sun is located in the Schooner Ridge neighborhood of Duck. That means that you are in the heart of Duck and a short bike ride or walk to the beach, the sound, shops, restaurants and the boardwalk. In addition, Schooner Ridge offers multiple amenities including an oceanfront outdoor pool and a community center with a gym, indoor and outdoor pool. The house itself is magnificent. Decks for days, a pool and hot tub, 8 incredible bedrooms, a wonderful kitchen and living area on the top floor plus a spacious living area on the bottom floor. In addition, the owner is incredibly gracious, ensuring that your visit meets/ exceeds your expectations. I took this trip with family and friends following a year of significant transitions and this was just what I needed. My guests were all equally impressed. I'm looking forward to staying at Fun in the Sun again. It was an incredible experience. Can't say enough good things. Thank you Mark!

Great Spot for a Family Vacation!
Our family really enjoyed our stay at Fun in the Sun. From the private beach to multiple pool options, we loved it all. The house was very comfortable and accommodated our family perfectly. We really enjoyed the multiple deck levels and the pool and hot tub. Great location within an easy walk to shops, restaurants, recreation center and beach. Loved it! Thank you Mark for hosting us.

Fun in the Sun Schooner Ridge
My large family, 11 adults and 7 children thoroughly enjoyed ourselves during our stay at Fun in the Sun!!! There is absolutely ample space with 8 bedrooms and 8 1/2 baths, with each room having it's own private bath. The short walk to the beach was very convenient and family members came and went as they pleased. This home has a pool and hot tub which were a huge hit with the kids and some of the adults. We took advantage of the sand volleyball court on a couple nights while there with 12 or 13 of us playing. Even attracted one of the neighbors children while playing. Some of the adults and all the kids also enjoyed the basketball hoop on the large driveway Duck is a wonderful vacation town with many places to eat and stores to shop, all within walking distance of Fun in the Sun. I think my car moved twice during our week long stay. Mark and Kathy, the owners, are beyond excellent hosts. Mark and was hands on with support. We spoke several times via text or by phone over the course of the week. He was sincere with wanting to know if we needed anything and answering any questions we had. If all hosts were this concerned not only about their property, but about their guests, your vacations would be more fun than they are. Can't say enough good things about our hosts. When we have need for such a large house on the Outer Banks again, Mark and Kathy with Fun in the Sun, will be our first call.

Fun at Fun in the Sun!
Our family had a very good time at Fun in the Sun. There were just a couple of items that might be fixed. Some uneven areas on top porch floor, mold in a couple of the bathrooms and the kitchen floor needs some work. But over all things were very good.

What a great property in Duck, a short walk or bike ride to the beach or town, with a great volleyball court, pool and massive deck! The pictures don’t do this property justice, upgraded TVs, new super comfortable beds and never ending amenities!

Absolutely Wonderful, 5 STARS
House is beautiful, & the kitchen is absolutely stocked with things you wouldn't even think of. You definitely wouldn't need to pack anything unless you have favorites of your own. The house has 2 high chairs (1 sits on a chair, the other attaches to the counter), a playpen, multiples of some kitchen household items. We didn't have any issue with the beds or the house. Mark is wonderful & will answer any/all your questions you may have before & during your stay. You can walk to the beach if you wanted or you can park closer at a designated area. We loved our stay & would absolutely do it again! Thank you Mark!! 😁🏖
