Okay. It's official. We aren't going to rent our home next year. It's time for us to sort of retire to Duck. We do love every family that has made this second home possible. Your kind words in our guest book and on-line were so appreciated. The kid critiques still make us laugh.

Each guest has given us a unique perspective. The "where did they put the dishes this time" question provided insight to family vacations. We have learned that there are the cooks who use every dish in the house (me) and the clean up crew who have no clue where the pots came from (remaining family 🤣)? Eventually we find our stuff and enjoy the surprise of finding odds and ends you left behind. Don't pay for the blinky cups from Sunset Grille and leave it behind.

We are going to leave this page up for a little while
If you have any questions please let us know.
Thanks again
♥️

No "down time" for us this week. Rebuilt the entrance to be more welcoming and to provide more shelter if it rains. Installed cabinets and counter tops in the laundry room. Added a gate on the top deck to keep the kids in (or out, your choice lol). Put the tv on the wall in the game room to increase surface space.

And added a wall of fish to the carport!

Enjoyed dinner at NC Coast this evening. It was 42 degrees in OBX and the patrons were dressed like it was a ski lodge!

Happy New Year from Duck, NC. We hope to see this often in 2024!

We were lucky to find a few days to enjoy Duck again while we can pretend it is summer. Ophelia is long gone and all is well.
Thank you to our summer and early fall tenants for treating our home away from home so respectfully! After a rocky start this spring, we especially appreciated our guests who patiently dealt with the demise of the dishwasher in late August. When we learned the pump failed we ordered the replacement for the next day. As much as we love the vendors that support us, next day in OBX means next week in general :) ;) .
We have our eyes on 2024 and are truly excited to be working with BeachRealtyNC.com!

Downtime Abbey has hired Beach Realty beachrealtync.com as our new management company for 2024. We expect to be live on their website by late Wednesday or early Thursday. They have been given your contact information so look for an email very soon about 2024 bookings. 2023 guests will be given first dibs but will have to sign up quickly.

We hope this transition is positive for all involved! I understand Twiddy has been in contact with some of you. They are still our management company until September 10. They do not have anything to do with 2024 rentals.

Thank you for your patience in booking Downtime Abbey for 2024 and of course for booking with us for so many years!
