Great location !

We had a short 3 night stay and the location right next to all the good restaurants in Duck was awesome. The upgrades to the property are very nice. Just a short walk to the ocean and amazing views of the ocean from the property. Wonderful experience with the host as well, she was very communicative and accommodating.

Dream vacation!

Loved this rental and vacation SO MUCH!! It was even better than advertised but the things you really need to be aware of - that it's a 3rd floor walk up, that you need to bring your own linens and towels - were just as advertised so we were thrilled. I went with a friend and it was perfect for us, but it would be even more ideal for a couple with a kid or 2, just becauseof the condo's layout. We loved how close it was to the beach!! And if you enjoy walking, which we love, you can walk almost everywhere you need or want to go. I walked miles of beach, all over the amazing town of Duck with all its cute and inviting shops, all along the breathtaking boardwalk, plus within 45 min we were able to go hiking and find nature trails, etc. There are restaurants and live music, an outdoor tap room and a phenomenal fish market right in Duck if you like to cook. The condo afforded us everything we needed to have an incredible vacation and maximize our first time in OBX. The condo is beautiful, clean, bright and modern and to be able to eat or drink coffee on the deck overlooking the ocean is worth every penny. Jen, our host, was friendly, helpful and super responsive. All in all A+++.

Great place to stay!

This was the perfect place to stay!! We all loved it. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. I would definitely stay at this place again. The beach was like a 3 minute walk and the pool was right there as well. We were also able to walk to the shops and dinner. Definitely would recommend this place to my friends.

The perfect spot!

This was the perfect little spot for our family vacation! The condo was just what we needed for the 4 of us and is located right in the center of Duck, with quick and easy access to restaurants and shops! The condo was clean and just as pictured/described! There are a lot of stairs but that is very clearly addressed in the description so this was no surprise. The beach and pool were perfect! We’re already planning to come back next summer! So grateful to have found this little slice of heaven and have such great hosts! They were quick to answer any questions we had and kept me up to date on all aspects of the rental leading up to our trip! Could not recommend more!

Very clean and tidy!

We had wonderful stay! The owner, Jen, is kind, thoughtful, and a great communicator! Loved the view of the beach from the front porch. The chairs on the front porch and deck are high quality and very comfortable. A helpful, handy feature noted was the drying rack on the back porch/deck. My son enjoyed the bunk beds as a "book nook" for reading. Overall, we had a fun time!

Clean and close to the beach

This place is perfect for a couple or a family with 1-2 young children who can sleep in bunk beds. The bunks are in the hallway. There are 4 flights of stairs to get to the apartment. It was very clean and the king bed was comfortable. The apartment complex itself needs maintenance, but it’s near town and restaurants. Overall a great place!

Wonderful place

I had a great experience with all of the fast and reliable communication with our host. The property was just what we expected, although previous tenants had left empty beer cans in random places (closets, tops of cabinets, etc.) and items in the freezer (empty ice cream containers) that we cleaned out. Otherwise, everything was clean and as expected. If I had any problems with mobility or with climbing stairs, I would not recommend a third floor property at Colony by the Sea, as the stairs can become very cumbersome. Also, it is unfortunate that the storage unit downstairs isn’t really available, as we could not get the combination lock to budge due to weather damage. It isn’t an inconvenience in the winter, but I can see this becoming a problem during summer months.

Enjoyable stay!

My husband and I spent our Duck vacation at this beach condo and had a wonderful experience here! It was perfect for the two of us. We especially enjoyed watching the sunrises each morning. The condo had everything we needed and was very clean. The recent upgrades give it a nice modern, fresh feel. The owner was very helpful and responsive anytime I reached out with questions about the property or town. Thank you for making our beach vacay even more enjoyable!

Perfect Getaway!

This was our first time staying in this property. We're glad we did. It is a short walk to the pool and beach; we could hear the ocean and see it from both the front and back decks. There are two high chairs on the front deck which allow for a panoramic view of the ocean, looking northeastward. The condo was clean and nicely decorated. We liked that is has two bathrooms. Jennifer contacted us well in advance and kept us updated. We could walk to restaurants. We would go there again and recommend it highly!

Lovely beach vacation

This is an ocean-view one-bedroom apartment at the third floor, aka 4th floor from ground level. It’s minutes walking distance to the famous white sand beach of Outer Banks, and close to downtown Duck. The place is clean and just as described. We enjoyed our stay. This is one of our favorite vacation destinations.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Clark

We are the Clark family (Bobby, Jen, Andrew and Jocelyn) and we live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I went to high school outside of Virginia Beach and Bobby grew up on the Eastern shore. My time was spent at the beach (both Virginia Beach and the Outer Banks) and Bobby grew up on the Eastern Shore – so we both had a love for the water. We met playing volleyball after college and our family grew from there. When vacationing at the Outer Banks, it was the only time we were truly able to disconnect and relax (hence the new name - Dune't Worry, Beach Happy) so we knew we wanted a piece of this paradise. We just purchased this condo and are looking forward to many years of enjoying it (and the renovations in the coming months!).

Why they chose this property

Between the town of Duck and the amenities of Colony by the Sea, this is a no brainer. The large beaches, beautiful views, nightly activities, and local shops and restaurants make this one of the most enjoyable locations to vacation. The views from our third floor balcony will melt away the stress of the outside world. Whether you have small kids or are vacationing with friends, everyone will feel at home at 'Dune't Worry, Beach Happy'! Between the town of Duck and the amenities of Colony by the Sea, this was a no brainer.

What makes this property unique

'Dune't Worry, Beach Happy' is located in the Colony by the Sea condo complex. This complex offers everything to make your vacation complete! What more could you need than a beach within short walking distance, an OCEANFRONT pool, grills, tennis courts, basketball courts, outdoor showers, a coin operated laundry mat, and downtown Duck just minutes away?? This condo features a large balcony where you and your family can watch the waves while you eat your meals. It also has been renovated to meet all of your vacation needs.

The town of Duck truly contains something for everyone. Miles of bike paths make walking or riding a bike around this town a breeze. For the sporty type Kitty Hawk Sports has parasailing, stand up paddle boards, jet skis and a variety of water activities. For the foodie, Duck contains fabulous local restaurants including one of our favorites, Coastal Cravings, which was featured on the TV show Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Shoppers will love all of the local stores and will especially enjoy the ease of access to the boardwalk that connects many of the sound side stores. Families will love the large beaches and local treat shops (make sure to check out the I Scream Ice Cream shop!!). Don't forget that 25 minutes outside of Duck you can climb the famous Currituck Lighthouse! And if you head south you will find the Wright Brothers Monument, Jockeys Ridge Sand Dunes, outlet stores, and The Lost Colony Theater. The perfect vacation awaits you!!!
