This year, the Duck Jazz Festival proudly reaches its 16th anniversary, and with it, we unveil our artistic vision:“Duck Grooves: The Sound of Jazz,” is an electrifying celebration of jazz’s dynamic, ever-evolving nature, set against the stunning backdrop of the Currituck Sound. It’s a fusion of past, present, and future, where the timeless traditions of jazz intersect with the vibrancy of new, innovative sounds. Just as the sound of jazz flows and adapts, so too does the landscape of Duck where the rhythm of the music harmonizes with the natural beauty of the water and the surrounding environment.
Many newcomers to the Outer Banks who are browsing the local restaurants, shops and area attractions online or in the local guide books notice an interesting addition to the standard address. Besides the typical business name, street name, street number and town, many local businesses also include a Milepost number. This may initially appear to be an odd notation to include, but on the Outer Banks, this is incredibly helpful to new visitors on the lookout for a specific restaurant or shop.
OCEANSIDE Salvo — Hattie Creef Landing — The 4,500 sq. ft. OCEAN DANCE is a pas de deux of rejuvenation and recreation, a place where everybody’s vacation dreams move to their own rhythms. Those soothed by water will be rewarded by painless access to a wide, open beach and spectacular sound vistas; those who thrive on energetic pursuits will be equally enthralled by the home’s many active amenities. Inside and out, this eight-bedroom/eight-full and two-half-bath home is a masterclass in seamless synergy. Yes, the beach is close, but the sizable private pool is even closer, with an adjacent 6-person hot tub, and outdoor shower, completing an enviable outdoor escape. Take the convenient ground level elevator to the first floor to discover a game room with a pool table, Intelligent TV, and wet bar with full-size refrigerator as well as a media room to stream your favorite movies. Also on this level is a convenient half-bath and two king master bedrooms. All the home’s bedrooms feature private baths and Intelligent TVs. Along with the laundry room, four more king master bedrooms and a master bedroom with a bunk bed and pyramid bunk take up the second level. Two of the bedrooms offer deck access. The final bedroom — a king master with deck access — is located on the third level just off the great room, a thoughtfully designed light-filled space that hums as the heartbeat of the home. An broad eat-at counter fronts a cavernous chef’s kitchen where fresh stainless appliances, stone counters, and ample cabinets will enthrall even those who vow they won’t prepare on vacation. Dining space accommodating 16 will make those meals even more memorable as you gather the whole family to share their day’s best moments. Move the conversation to the great room’s plush couches to watch the Intelligent TV or to the adjacent deck to revel in the star-filled sky. Book OCEAN DANCE and take a bow. The applause you’ll hear will be well-earned. The following items are available at all Surf or Sound Realty properties, even though they are not listed individually: Central Air/Heat, Washer/Dryer, Fridge, Dishwasher, Microwave, TV, Standard Coffee Maker, Toaster, Blender, and Outdoor Grille.
