About Debbie Dye
i moved to Virginia from Colorado to help out family in 2010. Every day I walked my dog and observed "OBX" stickers on every car in the neighborhood. I asked my sister about it and she informed me that the Outer Banks (OBX as it is affectionately abbreviated) was comparable to what we call "Up North"(which refers to the northern part of Michigan and where we Michiganders vacation every summer-- (yep, born and raised there!) I told her that I wanted to check out this "OBX", so I rented a condo in Colony by the Sea in Duck for two weeks. I was smitten by the dolphins swimming so close to shore, the pelicans flying overhead, and the beautiful beaches! I drove back to Virginia and announced that I would be returning to the OBX to live during the off-season. I found a monthly rental at Colony by the Sea, and three months later I bought "Sea Over the Dunes". Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would own oceanfront property! Now I split my time between Duck, Virginia, and Michigan, which allows me to share my place with you during the summer. I hope you will enjoy my little piece of paradise as much as I do!
Debbie Dye purchased this condo in 2011
Why Debbie Dye chose Duck
Location, location, location! It's just steps from the beach, parking is close to the condo, not a lot of stairs to negotiate, and the view can't be beat! The dunes are a bit lower in front of my condo, which gives a pretty great view even for the "first floor" (really the second floor, since the building is on stilts).
The condo itself is beautifully appointed. This is my home for most of the year, so I'm sure you'll notice a little bit of extra warmth, care, and attention to detail compared to the majority of other units in the complex, which are primarily rentals.
What makes this condo unique
Most of the other units in the complex overlook the pool, but mine is to the left and closer to the water, and from the inside you feel like you are in your own private house with a panoramic view (I also have an extra window that none of the other units do, which makes the view even better!)

Sea Over the Dunes is the best
Our third visit to Sea Over the Dunes. Probably the best unit in the complex. So clean, beautifully decorated, all tile, ocean front, right on the dunes, walking distance to Duck. What more can you want! Debbie is quick to answer all questions and on top of everything.
Nice Condo
The Condo was very nice and equipped with everything needed. Pool and beach are handy. Experience was good.
Location, Location, Location!
Realtors harp on property location - for good cause. Location helped make Sea Over the Dunes a fantastic experience! Sea Colony is a three-story building with no elevators. This property is on the first floor at the top of one flight of steps. No lugging up belongings those extra flights of stairs, nor trudging up and down making those trips to the beach. The beach and pool couldn't be any closer! Location came into play several times as we made trips to downtown Duck for sunsets (on the sound), walks on the beautiful boardwalk and enjoying the many shops/restaurants. Several of those trips were made by walking.
OK, enough about location. Other items worth mentioning: our unit was extremely clean upon arrival, everything inside was highly organized, the owner, Debbie, had anticipated and prepared for almost any need a renting tenant might have and a welcoming gift was on the counter waiting for us upon our arrival.
The owner, Debbie, stayed in contact with us before our arrival and during our time there - just to confirm if we had everything taken care of. She was most attentive to our needs.
Overall, we would not hesitate to stay at the "Sea Over the Dunes" again, nor would we hesitate to recommend this property/experience to our friends. We had a wonderful time!
Amazing apartment! Great location, well maintained and nicely decorated.
The owner goes the extra mile to ensure that you have everything you need and you have a nice stay.
Absolutely Amazing!!
When my husband and myself first started looking for a condo in Duck, NC two years ago, we found Colony By The Sea! After staying at CBTS last year, we knew that we wanted to stay again but wanted to find a place that better fit our needs. That's where Sea over the Dunes comes in. It was absolutely amazing! The furnishings are great. It came fully stocked with everything you might need (appliances, dishes, comfortable furniture, beach chairs, umbrellas, etc). The view off the balcony was great as well! We loved sitting out watching the sunrises, sunsets & getting a few visits from the neighborhood cat (Sparky). The owner of the condo Debbie was also so wonderful to work with. She is very quick to get back to you if you have a questions and she also leaves plenty of tips to make your experience at OBX that much better. If you are looking for a condo that is in the heart of Duck that comes with everything you need, this is the place for you! We know that we will most definitely be staying here again and hope that you enjoy Debbies' home as much as we did.
Lovely condo
Clean organized and well decorated.
