We enjoyed our stay here! The proximity to the beach and Duck downtown was great, we walked and biked to dinner and walk on the boardwalk. I found the descriptions to be accurate, as another reviewer mentioned, I would bring toiletries that you may want in addition to the basics, otherwise, the unit was very convenient.

We were very pleased with the accommodations and the beautiful view from our condo. We had some great weather and some no so great but that did not dampen our vacation. The condo is in a perfect location to getting to things in duck. We had pleasant walks every morning to Duck Cottage for coffee and then a walk on the boardwalk. The host of the condo were absolutely the best. Always answering questions and got back to us the minute we sent a question. The condo was exactly as described. We will be returning to this rental for sure.

Everything about our stay was excellent! The unit was exactly as described, very clean and comfortable. The view from the deck was stunning and I enjoyed watching the sun rise every morning with my cup of coffee. Beach access was very convenient and there were even some beach chairs/items available to use.There were plenty of kitchen items provided to cook a simple meal and enough amenities in general to last the week. Overall the entire unit felt very well-appointed and cozy. The boardwalk along the sound is a .5-1.5 mile walk depending on your destination, with a little bit of uphill both ways, but the walk itself felt safe and comfortable with wide roads/sidewalks, and we really enjoyed being able to walk to the many fun restaurants and shops downtown.

Gorgeous Ocean View!

Our family enjoyed the week of the 4th of July at this condo. It was clean, (which is most important for me) and check in process was super simple! The owner was easy to contact and answered all questions we had, in a short amount of time. The condo is true to the pictures. We would definitely stay here again! It was our first trip to Duck Beach in the Outwr Banks and it is such a family friendly place, so overall place to stay and area it was a fantastic choice and vacation.

Karen and Chris are outstanding hosts!! During our stay a hurricane was threatening to hit our area. Not only did they help guide us as to what to do to remain safe and protect our property, but they reached out afterwards to make sure we were okay and ask if we needed anything! The site is incredible with a perfect balcony for ocean views and relaxing! The pool for the complex was also great..clean and well kept! The house is pristine clean! What a great week away we had! Thank you, Karen and Chris! 10/10 would recommend!!!

Had a great long weekend in Duck. Lucked out on the weather. Three great beach days in April. As per the description, no elevator the third floor. Flip side, my 64 year old legs feel stronger.Loved the oceanfront deck. Nothing like small crowds during off season. Will recommend.

Perfect little getaway

I couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable condo for my private writing retreat. The views and sounds of the ocean were inspiring. The owner’s communication was perfect and I felt welcomed days before I arrived. Very personalized treatment.

Beachfront in a small town

The property was perfect for our stay. I had difficulty finding the property number, but that was due to vrbo itself. The condo is on the third floor, but it’s so close to the water, we didn’t mind. The kitchen was fully stocked and came in handy. We also enjoyed the use of having two bathrooms. Great stay, would love to visit again!

What a beautiful location and a beautiful well-kept condo. Fully stocked with everything you would ever need. Super comfy bed and the recliner in the living room was perfect. And the view was spectacular as promised. Only downside as others have said are the 3 flights of stairs. Otherwise great!

The view - OMG!

The property was exactly what I was looking for. Ocean view, beach front, excellent accommodations. The owner was so responsive with the minor issues we had. I stayed there for 5 of the 7 days by myself before spouse joined me. Felt totally safe, comfortable. The fan in the bedroom scored bonus points with the spouse. The book with the restaurant suggestions and menus was very detailed and shows the thought taken into making the visit easier. The one thing and after going back to read amenities, only soap is provided. No shampoo, conditioner, body wash. I can't wait to come back. And thank you for making my birthday special.
