great location
Great location and short distance to the ocean.
- Louann C. Jul 2023
great amenities!
Many great amenities! As others have said, beds are very firm. Some effort appears to have been made by adding thin soft mattress on top of at least master bedroom bed.
- Steven F. Aug 2022
LOVED
LOVED THE movie room, the pool table and arcade games, pool and hot tub!! Loved the top deck esp at night to sit and relax. Loved the area to see the ocean and drink coffee. Great location- easy walk to the beach and fun walk into downtown Duck for coffee and donuts and dinner! Some of the beds were very hard- probably needs some new mattresses. Would love if it allowed one dog:) Would stay again if pet friendly...

happy with our experience
Beds could use work but otherwise we were very happy with our experience!
- Betsy V. Apr 2022
great house and ideal location
We loved the jacuzzi. This was a great house in an ideal location with only minor improvements recommended. Some beds were extremely hard. More pillows would be helpful as well. Kitchen has adequate items to accommodate and cooking needs.
- Sheontee F. Jan 2022
a favorite by far
Giving a 3 star rating only because of the uncomfortabe beds otherwise would be a 5+. Love the master bedroom suite, bath/shower, the entire layout of the house, we enjoyed and felt blessed to be here....except for the beds, which manner alot. Awesome Kitchen! The best of many homes we have stayed in, we so loved it and enjoyed using it! Thank you to Sun Realty and to the owners for sharing this home and for seeking honest feedback. We loved the house a favorite by far.

nice house
It was a nice house, but too far for us to travel to so we won't be able to stay here again. Out of your control I realize, but the next door construction site was annoying. Beds and living space were great.
- Kathleen P. Jul 2021
What more could you ask for?
Ricky's Retreat made a rainy week at the beach fun. When we weren't able to be in the ocean, we were in the pool, hot tub, or theatre room. This house's layout is beautiful and very spacious even with many guests. We cooked a meal almost every night in the kitchen for 12 people, and there were no issues. SunRealty was extremely helpful with any questions we had, or a repair to the house that needed to be made. I will be back again.

Wonderful family beach vacation
This house was amazing! We had 17 family members - kids aged 2 months to 17 years old and adults to 72. The bedrooms were comfortable, well laid out and well appointed. The lay out of the house was such that when on one level you couldn't hear the baby crying, kids playing or adults chatting on another level. The movie room was awesome as was the pool table - both used through out the stay. The kitchen is large and well stocked - plenty of space for lots of cooks. The pool is partially shaded during most of the day which is perfect when you want to avoid the sun. I totally give it 5 stars, but my only "con" would be that one of the kitchen drawers was broken so we couldn't use it or the cabinet beneath and it took them 3 days to fix it. The linen service didn't pick up the dirty linens from the last renter until wednesday so they sat in LARGE bags on the front porch until then. The linen service only provides one towel per bed - no extra and one wash cloth per bathroom, bring a few extra from home.
The house is a quick and easy 5 min walk to the beach on a quiet street and right off the main road to duck for walking or biking. We would DEFINITELY stay there again!

Family fun
We had a great time at Rick's retreat. We had three families there, each with young kids- six little ones 4 and under. The house has everything you want: a great pool, a nice kitchen space, a fantastic movie room, and tons of space like a Crows Nest to hang out or relax. The deck space is great too. And it's really close to the ocean and Duck village. (I even liked the big driveway to shoot some hoops!)
The owner too is a great guy- we had one small maintenance issue and he was so helpful in having it resolved. Things happen, so knowing the owner cares about getting things fixed quickly is a super bonus.
If you want family fun, this is a great spot for you!
