13-Little
Duck
Little is an updated Ships Watch cottage with four ensuite bedrooms, an updated kitchen, and expansive sun and shade decks. 2 bedrooms are on the ground level, two are on the top level, and the great room and kitchen sit on the middle level, creating a practical layout for families who want privacy and shared space about three minutes from the beach.
Little is a good fit for guests who value ensuite bedrooms, deck space, and a comfortable middle-level gathering area after time at the beach, pool complex, sound pier, or Duck Village.
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.

Amenities may include private beach access, pool and hot tub areas, tennis and pickleball, basketball, playground, boat ramp, pavilion, and seasonal activities.
