My little family of 4 really enjoyed our stay here. Duck was perfect and so was the condo. It was very clean and everything was exactly as described. We had everything we needed and more. The beach was beautiful and never very crowded. Watching the sunrise and reading a book while listening to the sound of the ocean waves from the deck was probably my favorite part. We saw several deer (2 walked right up to the front of the condos one evening), rabbits, and even got to pet and feed Sparky a couple of times. Wonderful condo with a great host. I would definitely recommend.

We stayed at this oceanfront spot for a few days and had a wonderful time. Very short walk to what felt like a private section of the beach. Also, a very short drive from all the shops and restaurants in Duck. We will definitely be staying here again next year!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer & David Meredith

Host profile image
Dave and I (Jen) live in Fairfax, Virginia and have been making the trek to Duck since we were married in 2001 (Jen has been going since 1966 - well at least to Nags Head). Dave grew up in Buena Vista, VA (by way of Arkansas) and I grew up in Fairfax City. Even though OBX is a little furher from our home than other beaches - it is totally worth it. We hope that you can share our love for Duck and Colony by the Sea!!

Why they chose this property

There was NO doubt that we wanted to buy a property in Colony by the Sea - it was just a matter of which one. Having lugged suitcases up 3 flights of stairs (and a bunch of other stuff), been so far back we could hardly see the ocean and spending time in condos that were just not clean or homey enough - we finally found the right one!

We love that we are right on the ocean, one floor up and our parking space is right next to the stairs. Coming from the traffic in Northern Virginia, we are MOST happy with the fact that we don't have to drive anywhere!! What a treat.

What makes this property unique

Duck is very different than the other OBX beaches and other beaches on the East Coast. We like to call it our sleepy little village in the midst of other craziness! Most of the homes down here are SO big, it was hard for us to find a place that was right (and affordable) for just the two of us. I don't even think most people know that Colony by the Sea exists (and we should keep it that way!). Our little place is perfect for a couple, girls/guys weekend and small families. The deck is magnificent - comfy cozy!
