July 2023 stay

Everything about this house was wonderful! We have stayed in a lot of houses in the Schooner Ridge community, and this was one of the nicest ones! The upgrades in the kitchen and bathrooms are amazing. All of the rooms were clean, comfortable, and were equipped with all of the necessities. We would 100% recommend this house to make memories in the heart of Duck!

Beach Week- 4th of July week

We had a great week in this house. We have rented several times in the Outer Banks and this was the best. It fit our family perfect with just four bedrooms. There were plenty of bathrooms for each bedroom.The living space was open and comfortable. The kitchen was great, well-stocked and open to the family room.
My favorite was the decking and the views from inside the house. The Crow’s Nest up top had views for miles! We watched the fireworks up there and it was incredible. The pool was large and beautiful!
The location of Schooners Ridge lets you get into Duck even during heavy traffic.
We plan to come back next year!

Another Great Week in Duck

Great weather, excellent location, well appointed home, the pool at the house was a game changer - temp was great, don't need to pay extra to have heated. Short walk to the beach access and community amenities. We will be back!

Amazing Home!

We loved staying at Schooner Rather Than Later. Great location close to the beach. Nice that beach wagon and chairs were provided. Great Main Bedroom and Bathroom, especially the Walk-In Shower. Loved the pool, we spent most of our time there. Having it heated made it great for the grandkids every day! Living area was homey and comfortable for our group of 6. Kitchen was clean with an abundance of utensils, glasses, plates, etc., though we ate out for dinner most nights. All bedrooms were nice with plenty of storage. Laundry room was very handy!
Crows nest had wonderful views. Only recommendation for improvement is that the TV in the main room could be larger and wall mounted. Loved receiving passcode electronically before arriving, made that part of checking in and out easy. Did not understand why a separate trip to the community center was required on a Sunday check-in day during a small 2-hour window to get wristbands and parking passes, and just 3 minutes outside that window no one was around. Why not have them waiting in each home upon arrival? We did appreciate the Hospitality app which allowed all of us to install it and receive messages about trash and recycle days, check-out info, etc. Overall, would HIGHLY recommend staying at SRTL. We enjoyed Duck Donuts, Bob's Wild Horse Tour, and numerous restaurants like Fishbones Raw Bar, Black Pelican, Red Sky, Coastal Cravings, and Uncle Ike's.

Manager's Response

Thank you Mr. Bollinger for your kind review of our home. We apologize for the inconvenience of obtaining the wristbands for the community amenities.. unfortunately Schooner Ridge has a strict policy on how and when they can be picked up, and therefore will not allow us to place them in the homes for guests.

Wonderful beach house

This house is even better than the description and is perfectly situated super close to the beach access and very easy to walk into the part of town with shopping and restaurants. Great access to the boardwalk trail. Everything is updated and clean. Comfortable beds. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and there was nothing missing we needed or wanted. Beautiful light on the upper floor. Pool is huge and clean as is the hot tub, with ample seating (though just two lounge chairs). Beach chairs were the nice Tommy Bahama so no need to bring our own and the beach cart was so nice to have. Management accommodated our requests for pool heat and early check in. I don't believe the listing makes it clear, but there are two master suites, both with Kings and attached baths with two sinks. Nice glimpses of the beach with great viewing for sunrise and sunset. We will absolutely try to rent this home again.

Extraordinary Rental!

My wife and I hosted our son's family (4 boys ages4-8). This property was IDEAL-both in its features and location. Easy walk to beach access, beautiful-large-and well maintained pool, and lots of desirable extras like beach chairs, beach cart, pool toys, etc. The owners have done a wonderful job of continuously updating spaces, furnishings, etc. Crows nest deck was also a cool feature to enjoy sunsets and see the ocean. Very clean throughout and well stocked kitchen-virtually everything you need. If I had 10 thumbs they would all be up.Excellent experience with rental company as well (advance communication, check in, etc)

First OBX Vacation

This was our first visit to the Outer Banks. The house was updated and clean as was the pool. The kitchen had just been remodeled and had just about anything you could possibly need. The bathrooms were also newer. We appreciated the little details in the house that reminded you that you were on a beach vacation. The beach access was also less than a 5 minute walk. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to vacation in Duck.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your review! We are glad you enjoyed the home and your time in the Outer Banks. We hope to welcome you back to the beach very soon!

Pristine Home!

This home was recently updated and was pristine! It was also decorated for the beach with lovely warm touches. We arrived and there was not a spec of sand to be found, orderly and had everything you need for a great stay. Walking to the beach was a breeze and you can walk to the shops in Duck. Pool area was clean amd comfortable. We stayed in early June and would suggest giving guests an option to pay to heat the pool. It was a cool week and a warm pool would have been lovely. There is a pool heater and would have loved the option to pay to use it. You won’t be disappointed in this lovely home!

Thanks Jennifer for leaving a review from your recent stay at Schooner Rather Than Later! It sounds like you and your family are making life long memories at this lovely cottage. Nothing helps more during these hot summer day than a dip in the pool after a long day playing in the surf at the beach.

We have stayed at Schooner Ridge before and knew we wanted to stay again. We had spotted Schooner Rather Than Later on our previous visit. It was everything that we had hoped for. Perfect size for our family. Good location to the beach. Big private pool! We’ll be staying there again.

We'll Be Back

I don't know where to start. It was the best stay we have had. The house had everything we needed. Close to the beach and not a long walk to shops. We took two small children (4 and 2) and there were pool toys and beach toys for them and a cart to take umbrellas and chairs to the beach. Nice pool. The house had everything we needed and was very clean and spacious. We all decided that this will be where we stay from now on. I would absolutely recommend it.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your wonderful review of our property D3567 "Schooner Rather Than Later", personally I couldn't be more excited that you love this home as much as we do!

Great place for your family vacation

Perfect location, just a few steps away from the beach with great pool (sun all day, fantastic). Perfect also from inside - the house is super cosey and charmy, the bedrooms are nice and comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with new pots and pans and the house and pool was in very clean condition!

Manager's Response

"Great Place for your Family Vacation" is certainly a perfect review for any owner's property and any vacation management company to receive. This house is new to our rental program this year and our guests are loving it for exactly the reasons you related. The owners thought a lot about how to furnish and equip the house for their guests and this will please them so much to know that all their efforts and thoughts are so graciously received. Please join Kitty Hawk Rentals at "Schooner Rather Than Later" for many more vacations in the future.
