Karen and Chris are outstanding hosts!! During our stay a hurricane was threatening to hit our area. Not only did they help guide us as to what to do to remain safe and protect our property, but they reached out afterwards to make sure we were okay and ask if we needed anything! The site is incredible with a perfect balcony for ocean views and relaxing! The pool for the complex was also great..clean and well kept! The house is pristine clean! What a great week away we had! Thank you, Karen and Chris! 10/10 would recommend!!!
Our family enjoyed the week of the 4th of July at this condo. It was clean, (which is most important for me) and check in process was super simple! The owner was easy to contact and answered all questions we had, in a short amount of time. The condo is true to the pictures. We would definitely stay here again! It was our first trip to Duck Beach in the Outwr Banks and it is such a family friendly place, so overall place to stay and area it was a fantastic choice and vacation.
We enjoyed our stay here! The proximity to the beach and Duck downtown was great, we walked and biked to dinner and walk on the boardwalk. I found the descriptions to be accurate, as another reviewer mentioned, I would bring toiletries that you may want in addition to the basics, otherwise, the unit was very convenient.
The property was exactly what I was looking for. Ocean view, beach front, excellent accommodations. The owner was so responsive with the minor issues we had. I stayed there for 5 of the 7 days by myself before spouse joined me. Felt totally safe, comfortable. The fan in the bedroom scored bonus points with the spouse. The book with the restaurant suggestions and menus was very detailed and shows the thought taken into making the visit easier. The one thing and after going back to read amenities, only soap is provided. No shampoo, conditioner, body wash. I can't wait to come back. And thank you for making my birthday special.
We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary in this beautiful ocean front condo. It exceeded all our expectations. Aside from no elevator, there isnt a thing we would change.
Had a great long weekend in Duck. Lucked out on the weather. Three great beach days in April. As per the description, no elevator the third floor. Flip side, my 64 year old legs feel stronger.Loved the oceanfront deck. Nothing like small crowds during off season. Will recommend.
My third October in a row in Duck NC in early October - first time in this condo. Really first class - everything I hoped it would be. Sorry to learn that next year this condo will only be available for weekly rentals instead of daily.
Exactly as advertised and more. Host was delightful and super responsive! Condo was very well appointed, especially the kitchen!! We actually lacked for nothing our entire stay. Stocked with linens, games, DVD's. Spectacular sunrise every morning from the elevated deck, it was so relaxing! We felt like the beach was our own personal space. Duck has such a cool beach vibe and is perfect for the party crowd and the family. We highly recommend the Penthouse!! Note to newcomers to the OBX - you can have some days with pretty steady straight line wind (10-15 mph), which is why the Wright Brothers chosen the OBX for their first flight. so bring a sweatshirt or windbreaker for the evenings.
Great view, clean condo, but needs some updates and changes
There are pros and cons when making a selection for your home for a week. The below is what is important to me and my family.
1. View 5/5
2. Cleanliness 5/5
3. Stocked kitchen 5/5
4. Pool 4/5
5. Safe location 5/5
There is room for improvement.
I recommend updated appliances such as an ice maker and a stove without the electric coils. I find those stoves to be a fire risk for the guests and owners.
I would also recommend updated toilets. The toilets appear to be the size for small children and not for average sized healthy adults.
I would recommend purchasing a new mattress for the bedroom as the existing one is wore out and very uncomfortable.
I would also recommend updating the decor and furnishings as all of it appears to be very outdated and not a coastal feel.
If the above recommendations are made, I would return to this unit. As it is now, I will not.
What a beautiful location and a beautiful well-kept condo. Fully stocked with everything you would ever need. Super comfy bed and the recliner in the living room was perfect. And the view was spectacular as promised. Only downside as others have said are the 3 flights of stairs. Otherwise great!
The property was perfect for our stay. I had difficulty finding the property number, but that was due to vrbo itself. The condo is on the third floor, but itâs so close to the water, we didnât mind. The kitchen was fully stocked and came in handy. We also enjoyed the use of having two bathrooms.
Great stay, would love to visit again!
The hosts were extremely kind , communication was excellent, they responded promptly to all of our question or needs. The condo is exceptionally clean and well taken care of. From the balcony a perfect view of the ocean. We highly recommend this condo.
The place was convenient, basically clean except for T.V areas and some of the lamps. In main room and bedroom. One of the best stocked pots and pans! Good places for Sunrise and sunsets
The biggest downside of this home on an actual 4th floor was no elevator!

This condo has a magnificent, panoramic view of the ocean and quick access to the beach. Very private. Accommodations were clean and exactly as described. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The hosts, Karen and Chris, were welcoming
and even communicated with us prior to our arrival to alert us to the potential for early check-in. Great overall experience.
I couldnât have asked for a more comfortable condo for my private writing retreat. The views and sounds of the ocean were inspiring. The ownerâs communication was perfect and I felt welcomed days before I arrived. Very personalized treatment.
