BIS-Duck Resort - 2BR/2BA Unit - First Floor Unit, Close to Pool and Beach!

This unique 24-acre resort property located right on the edge of the charming and quaint Town of Duck, NC, sits between the Ocean and the Sound, and offers access to both. This is arguably one of the best locations in the Outer Banks for convenience and walking / biking proximity to multiple activities and dining options.

THE SPACE

From your unit you can walk to the Beach, Outdoor pool area, and the Sound. Being on the outskirts of the Town of Duck, you are just a few minutes drive from shopping or dining along the 1-mile boardwalk located along the Sound. Some people can walk / bike this distance, but that depends on the family. In the evenings try not to miss some of the spectacular sunsets over the Sound.

This is a 1st Floor 2BR/2BA unit located in the 400 Building. There are ZERO steps to this unit, so this provides super easy access. Another bonus is a Private parking space right next to your entry door (for this unit only).

Walking into your Living Room with Love Seat and Sleeper sofa, Deck with outdoor table / 4 chairs, View of Pool and Courtyard. Full Kitchen with Stove, Oven, Refrigerator, Dishwasher, Microwave, Coffee Maker, Toaster, Blender, etc. Sit up bar / 3 stools, Dining Table / 6 chairs, Full Bathroom, 2nd Bedroom with Queen bed. Master Bedroom has Queen size bed and attached Full Bathroom.

This 2BR unit at approximately 1,200sq ft and is rated to sleep six (6) persons. There is a Washer / Dryer inside your unit.

COURTYARD / POOL / OCEAN VIEW CATEGORY:

While the resort itself is Beachfront this unit is located in the 400 Building (see property map in the pictures section) and is close to the outdoor pool area.

From your 1st floor unit you will be only steps away from the Outdoor Pool, and within walking distance of the Beach and Ocean. There is no view of the Ocean from this unit, but the easy access and convenient location make it a great choice for couples and families.

It is possible to walk to the Resort’s private Beach access, but since this is a large 24+acre property that stretches from Sound to the Ocean, it can be a longer walk to the beach from certain sections of the resort versus other areas.

If you have a lot of beach gear, or small children, your best option might be to drive to the parking area right near the Outdoor Pool and Beach access. This private parking area is reserved for Resort guests where you can conveniently drop off your family and gear, or even park in the spaces provided if one is available.

STAIRS / ACCESSIBILITY:

Most properties in OBX have a certain number of stairs, so that buildings are elevated and protected in case of potential flooding that could be caused by hurricanes or major storms.

Almost all the units at this resort have a certain number of stairs leading to the Front Door of the unit. Some have interior stairs to a 2nd level, or depending on the specific unit configuration, as few stairs up or down to one of the bedrooms inside the unit. The number of stairs varies depending on the specific unit configuration, and whether the unit is considered first floor, second floor, or third floor. Typically the higher you go the better your view is from the outdoor decks.

BIS-Duck Resort will provide assistance carrying your baggage to your unit if you would like some help.

UNIT INTERIORS:

This property was originally constructed in the late 1980's and early 1990's. Recently a $8+ Million dollar renovation project was started, and expected to be completed in phases thru 2023/2024.

Before the renovation started, most of the unit interiors were spacious and comfortable but very dated.

Please note this specific unit in the 300 Building section has been partially renovated. This unit has received new Flooring throughout, new furniture in the Living Room and bedrooms, new window coverings, newly painted in all rooms, and the Kitchen has been refreshed (although countertops remain the same).

However, until I am able to take photos of the newly updated interior, I am leaving the old pictures in the ad. At a very minimum the older photos should give you an idea of the layout. I have added photo(s) at the end of the interior photos that was taken inside this type of unit. It shows the new flooring, furniture, and newly painted interiors.

The benefits offered by this resort are the overall amenities, including one of the largest outdoor pool areas on OBX. Next to the pool area there is an onsite Sea Glass Snack Shack serving stuff like burgers and hot dogs, beverages, and water ice.

This property is definitely one of the most unique on OBX, with direct access to the both the Beach and the Sound, and in very close proximity to the many shops and restaurants in the Town of Duck. You also benefit from these spacious units being priced lower than comparable options of the same size in the area.

Many families enjoy their annual vacations at this property, however if you are a traveler that requires more luxurious accommodations, this may not be the right choice for you, and you might want to consider one of the more expensive listings on AirBnB.

I am not trying to sound negative, because personally we enjoy this property, I just want to make sure your expectations match reality. So if you have any specific questions on this please don't hesitate to ask.

- Bedding linens, including blankets, sheets, and pillows are provided. However, if have you have any favorites blankets or pillows, or if you sleep better using a certain type of pillow, it would be good to bring your own.

- Please especially take note of the detail above about bed coverings. BIS-Duck provides Blankets but does NOT provide the heavier, bulkier Comforters that you may have on your bed at home. The Blankets on the beds should be fine for most families, but you could bring an extra Blanket or Comforter if you have any concerns about that.

- If you plan on using the Sleeper sofas during your stay, I definitely recommend bringing your own sheets, pillows, and blankets, maybe even a mattress pad for the Sleeper sofa specifically, which can be turned into a very comfortable extra bed. Also plan accordingly if your unit has multiple sleeper sofas.

- Bath and Hand towels are provided for you and will be inside your unit when you arrive.

- Each Unit will receive a "Starter Package" at Check In. Your unit will have basic supplies like toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, etc to get you thru the first day or two of your stay. However it is highly recommended to bring additional PAPER products (toilet paper, paper towels, paper plates, etc) and your own CLEANING products (detergents, cleaners, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, etc).

- Pool / Beach towels are not provided. Each family should bring their own pool / beach towels

- The new H2OBX Waterpark recently built in Powell's Point is only about 15 miles away

- If you or any members of your family enjoy bike riding, I strongly recommend taking your own bikes (if you have the means to do so). Bikes are a great way to move around the resort, and also ride into the Town of Duck. Bike rentals in Duck are available if you don't bring your own. Remember to take your bike locks so you can lock up your bikes at the bike rack each night.

- If you are interested in fishing while on vacation, there is Surf fishing out in front of the resort on the beach, or pier fishing from one of the piers on OBX.
