Amazing Views

We really enjoyed our stay at Whale Watch. This was our fifth time staying at Durant Station. This condo along with the other two have all been wonderful experiences. The views are beautiful and sunsets are breathtaking. It is very well equipped with everything you need for a pleasant stay. We loved waking up in the morning, and the first thing we saw was the blue ocean waves. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful, quiet location on Hatteras

We love staying on Hatteras Island in May and September/October. We don't need a boardwalk or exciting activities. We only want to enjoy the beach.

Beautiful condo

Condo is beautiful and the view of the ocean is great. The management is not so great. I called them the the day before I was to check in and let them know I wouldn’t be there until the following day after hours. The person I spoke with said it was no problem and that we would need to pick up out keys and packet in the bins outside of the office. I received an email the following day that said I needed a code for the lock on the condo and provided the code. I called the rental office and the person I spoke with said the lock was changed and to use the code and our welcome packet would be inside the condo. We arrived at the condo at 11:30 pm and the code for the lock did not work. We tried several times with no luck. It was cold that night and very windy so we were freezing and getting very frustrated as we were also pretty tired. I called the after hours number I had for the office and they tried to walk us through to get the lock to open and again with no luck. The person I spoke with called someone from maintenance. By this time it was well after midnight so it took him a few minutes to get there. He couldn’t open the door either. He made a couple of trips to the office and then finally got the door open. It was 2 am when we got into the condo. The guy from maintenance was polite and helped up get our luggage and things into the condo. We went to the rental office the next day to make sure they were aware of what happened. The lady we spoke with said she would make sure the manager knew. Two days later we were out for the day and came back to the condo in the evening to find the lock had been changed. We were not contacted by anyone to let us know that they were going to change the lock and they were even inside our condo with no notice and no one there. We thought sure we were going to be locked out again. Thankfully I remembered the code the company had sent in that email as it was the code to get in. Aren’t you supposed to notify tenants if you are going to be entering their rental? We were there for 6 days and management didn’t even attempt to contacts us to offer an apology or anything. As I said it is a beautiful condo and great location but with that kind of management I’ll never stay there again.

Whale Watch is a beautiful condo. One of my favorites, for sure. It's comfortable and clean and kitchen in well stocked. The views from the deck are priceless. We always enjoy our trips to Hatteras. But this stay was extra special. We will definitely be back.

Great place!

Everything was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our week. Plenty of dishes and pot/pans to cook in the condo. Great pool and beach access. We loved the lockers on the ground floor to keep our beach gear.

Amazing views

We love the views and location of this condo unit! It is well appointed and had everything we needed. With 4 adults, the seating in the living area was a bit tight. We only felt it on rainy days. The pool and access to the beach make this a great place to enjoy Hatteras Island!

Perfect spot for an Outer Banks getaway

We wanted something on the beach and away from the hustle and bustle of some of the more commercial spots on Hatteras Island, and this fit the bill perfectly. We loved being able to walk right out to the less crowded beach and waking up each morning and enjoying a sip of coffee while listening to the ocean is great. We also had fun hunting for ghost crabs. You’re also close to the ferry to Ocracoke which is a great place to spend a day. I will say that dining options are a bit limited and you have a fair drive back to some of the other spots you might want to visit (about 90 min back to Nag’s Head to see Bodie Lighthouse). It was exactly what we wanted but that will depend on your preference. One other comment - the elevator was not working during our stay, which means you’re climbing to the 4th floor. Didn’t bother us at all but it did make packing up the car to head for home. We found the condo perfect and we will definitely try to book here again when we come back to OBX.

Amazing!

We had never been to the OBX and had no clue where to stay and stumbled upon this condo. It was perfect! Loved the location. Beaches were not crowded at all. After doing some research we found plenty of places to have dinner. Condo was super clean, views were amazing. Perfect for our vacation! We will definitely be back :)

Whale watch was clean, easily accessible via car and elevator. The view was awesome. The only thing it needed was an extra set of towels and wash clothes. It was a really nice place.

Amazing

From our first step into Whale Watch, our stay was amazing. The condo was very well appointed, we had everything we needed. The view was incredible. Every morning my husband and I sat on the balcony drinking our coffee, watching the fishing boats, pelicans and dolphins always kept us amused. The only thing I hated was leaving. Can't wait to book our next stay. Thank you Whale Watch for a relaxing week and memories that will last a lifetime.

Whale Watch 302

We stayed at Whale Watch from July 10th to July 24th and the condo is wonderful. The owners have decorated it very nicely and there is nothing better than laying in bed during the night and listening to the ocean. We love Hatteras Village and the location of Durant Station. We highly recommend Whale Watch and plan on renting it again. We have been going to the Outer Banks since 1985 and 2 weeks is not enough time to enjoy the wonderful area.
