Why We Chose Duck, NC, for Our Vacation Home: "Fun in the Sun"
We knew Fun in the Sun was the perfect Outer Banks vacation home for us from the moment we stepped in. This spacious beach getaway offers nearly 3,800 square feet of interior space for relaxing and unwinding, along with over 3,000 square feet of “super decks” and a screened porch for endless outdoor enjoyment. Just a short walk from the beach, this home is even closer to the community center and places you right in the heart of Duck, NC. From the charming shops and restaurants to the beautiful Town of Duck park and soundside boardwalk, everything is within reach.
Fun in the Sun truly has it all—an inviting private pool, a hot tub, expansive decks, a “Tiki” bar, and a stunning 14 x 22 screened-in porch on the third floor, perfect for late-night relaxation. The sea breeze and night stars make the upper-level private deck a dreamy spot for stargazing, so peaceful you might even consider sleeping under the open sky!
After exploring many communities in the Outer Banks, we decided that Schooner Ridge in Duck, NC, offered the ideal mix of amenities, location, and charm. We knew Fun in the Sun would be the ultimate home to create cherished family memories to treasure for a lifetime.
One of our greatest joys is hearing from guests who’ve made their own unforgettable memories at Fun in the Sun. Their stories of vacation fun and family traditions mean the world to us and inspire us to keep making this beach haven a special place for families to relax, reconnect, and discover the magic of Duck, NC.

Great house for a great trip!
This house has everything you could possibly need for a stress-free, full-filled week in the Outer Banks. The decks on the house are amazing and even have a hammock for a nice afternoon break. The pool and hot tub were clean and the perfect addition for when we came back from the beach.
The house is a short walk to both the beach and the REC center. The beachfront pool is such a luxury and wonderful plus to the community. We enjoyed the REC center which has tennis courts, indoor and outdoor pool, a exercise room, everything you could possibly need.
We had many different family members with us this trip and the eight bedrooms made it easy to make sure everyone had a bed to sleep it. This house is fantastic and can't wait for our next summer at Fun in the Sun!

Family Vacation We will never forget!
We have family all over in several different states, so to get together is a rare treat! This place was big enough for 3 good sized families and Grandpa! We wanted Grandpa to never forget this vacation because he has alzheimer's disease. We got that and more! We were walking distance from the ocean and from a great rec center!
We spent time at visiting some of the local sights: Wright brothers museum, Bodie Island lighthouse and more! We really didn't have time to do everything in a week's time. We took pictures at the beach, kids in the pool, family photo on the pier, all the sight seeing we did, relaxing at "Fun in the Sun", etc.
We had a great time! We relaxed and had a blast together! Best of all, Grandpa will never forget this vacation! Truly, this was priceless!!
The house had everything we wanted and much, much more! Thanks! We will be coming back. Next year's vacation can not come soon enough!

Fun in the Sun- Just that!
Great house and owners who were personable! Amenities covered everything we needed and plenty we didn't even get to during the week we were there! Clean, Maintained, and updated! We had a group of 18 and fit us perfectly!
Great room configurations, LOVE all the decking, and was plenty of room for everyone to get lost in! Kiddos had a great time overtaking the basement! Thanks for the great pad perfectly close to the ocean and the boardwalk, and DUCK DONUTS! Hopes to come back soon!!
