The condo was as expected for the money. Small, but comfy. Excellent location and the view was spectacular. Note that there is no elevator for this, but it’s only on the 2nd floor. Only the bare basic amenities were provided. We did have a problem with the bed sheets, and do to their poor communications, it didn’t get resolved for a whole day. Kees, the managing host, was terrible with communications. They didn’t follow up, and when they said things would be taken care of, they did not follow up. The issue finally did get resolved, but it was frustrating.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the condo’s comfortable accommodations, excellent location, and spectacular view. We sincerely apologize for the issue with the bed linens and, especially, the lack of timely communication and follow-up while it was being resolved. We understand how frustrating it is to be told an issue will be addressed and then not receive an update. While we’re glad the matter was ultimately resolved, it should not have taken a full day, and we appreciate you bringing this experience to our attention. Your feedback will be shared with our team as we continue working to improve our communication and guest service.

This was a perfectly appointed condo for a beach get away. Perfect for a couple or a family of four given the well-placed bunk beds and 2 full bathrooms. The condo had every amenity you can imagine and a fully stocked kitchen with every utensil and cookware needed. Best was the beach vibe in the decor and the ocean view/sound! We would definitely go back! Thank you!

This was our first time coming to Duck,NC and we came for our 10-year anniversary. The condo was updated and loved the touches that the owner did to the condo. It was great having a smart TV and Alexa to use. Great view of the ocean and short walk to the beach. We highly recommend this place and hope to return for our 11-year anniversary.

Great View on a Quiet Neighborhood

This is a nicely maintained condo in a quiet neighborhood with quick access to the beach and a nice pool. We had a great time sitting on the balcony listening to the waves and we actually saw deer one night grazing in the shrubbery outside the pool area. The kitchen was very well appointed and I had no trouble cooking and preparing meals. The only complaints I have are as follows: The Internet was not great. I was consistently having to reconnect on my phone and was never able to connect to streaming on the tvs. The TV in the bedroom wasn't able to complete its setup and so I couldn't use it, which was kind of a nuisance because I like having the background noise on at night. Luckily, my friend brought his laptop and we were able to connect it to the TV in order to watch streaming services. There were a few lights that were not working; the bathroom had 2 of the 3 bulbs out and one of the overhead lights was burnt out as well. Also, there was a dishwasher full of dirty dishes and trash on the balcony when we arrived. Overall, that did not deter us from having a great time and I would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing stay with a couple of hickups

Great view of ocean from deck and unit. We had a bug issue with ants in kitchen and a bug in our bed that startled my wife and made her uncomfortable. Called Kees and they had the home treated by pest control company the next day. We thought the unit could have been cleaner. It was just ok from a cleanliness standpoint. Overall our stay was a 6 on scale of 1-10 due to the issues mentioned above.
