Hi Stephanie!! So happy you had a great time!! Hoping you come back and see us next year.
Perfect spot for a couple or family with 2 small children. Ocean view and easy access to beautiful beach. We loved how close shops and food were also. Updated features in kitchen and baths. Thanks for having us!
We had a wonderful stay in Duck. Jennifer was an amazing host. She was very attentive and answered all of our questions promptly. The property was beautiful and the area has so much to do. We were very pleased with our stay.
Great condo for a couple and possibly 1-2 children(bunk beds were thoughtfully planned in the condo). Jennifer was easy to work with and very communicative on our stay's details. I would highly recommend considering this property for one's next stay in Duck, OBX!
The place was very clean! The place was in a perfect location great beach access, amazing pool and would recommend this to everyone and anyone such and amazing place!!! Had a wonderful time and can’t wait to stay again!!

Was a pleasure having you. We normally don't rent for weekends, but it all worked out great!! Thank you for taking such good care of our home.
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.
Great place to stay. Very clean, and the kitchen was very well stocked with anything you would need forCooking. The bed (mattress) was really comfy. Communication with owner was super. Very quick to respond. We had a really good time.
Pleasant, clean, well kept property - nicely sized for a couple's get away for a weekend or longer. Great location within walking distance to the shops and restaurants in Duck.
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!
Nice place with easy access to the beach and a salt water pool on property. Also, very close to town and the popular Boardwalk. We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was comfortable and met our needs.
Great property with a perfect location. Everything was nice and clean with a fully stocked kitchen. Check in a was easy and Jennifer was super responsive and easy to communicate with! Would stay again!

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer & David Meredith
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!
