4 Bedrooms 4 Bathrooms 8 Sleeps

Archard is an updated Ships Watch beach cottage with four ensuite bedrooms, an updated kitchen, expansive sun and shade decks, a screened porch, and a middle-level great room and kitchen designed for easy gathering. The home is about a five-minute walk to the beach and works well for families who want bedroom privacy, comfortable shared space, and a Duck location close to both the beach and village activities.

Together, the ensuite bedroom layout, updated gathering spaces, screened porch, and decks make Archard a strong choice for families who want privacy at the house plus easy access to the beach, pool complex, sound pier, Duck dining, shopping, and the bike path.

The home fits guests who want a quieter community feel without giving up convenience. Spend time at the beach access, pool complex, sound pier, or bike path, then return to comfortable indoor and outdoor spaces for meals, rest, and time together between activities.

From Atlantic sunrise walks to Currituck Sound sunsets, Ships Watch gives guests several ways to enjoy the community. Amenities may include private beach access, pool and hot tub areas, tennis and pickleball, basketball, playground, boat ramp, pavilion, and seasonal activities. Sheets, bath towels, outdoor showers, beach chairs, a beach umbrella, and beach towels are included. Confirm current rules and schedules before booking.

Why guests love it:
• 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and space for up to 8 guests
• Private-home comfort in the Ships Watch resort community
• Access to Ships Watch pool complex, hot tub, tennis, pickleball, basketball, playground, boat ramp, and soundside pier
• Easy access to Duck shopping, dining, the Duck Boardwalk, coffee shops, watersports, and the bike path
• Ships Watch beach gear provided, including beach chairs, umbrella, and beach towels
• Keyless entry, beds made upon arrival, bath towels provided, and an outdoor shower

For guests who want a mix of quiet community time and things to do, Ships Watch is a strong fit. Stay nearby for the beach, pool, tennis, pickleball, sound pier, Duck Boardwalk, bike path, and village shopping. Plan meals around Duck favorites such as Aqua Restaurant, The Blue Point, NC Coast Grill & Bar, Coastal Cravings, Red Sky Cafe, and Duck Deli, or pick up easy breakfast from Duck Donuts. Food Lion and Harris Teeter are convenient options for groceries, drinks, beach snacks, and larger shopping trips during your Ships Watch stay. Outer Banks lighthouses, Corolla wild horse tours, and Roanoke Island attractions add easy day-trip options.

For guest convenience, every Ships Watch home includes keyless entry, made beds, bath towels, and an outdoor shower. Cooler-season stays also include a fireplace, which is lit during the off-season only. Beach gear is provided as a Ships Watch bonus, including beach chairs, an umbrella, and beach towels.
