My family spent a week at the house in Duck and it could not have been betterâvery short walk to the pool and beach, tons of things for the kids to do, and a nice walk to the boardwalk. We will return!
Overall a good place to stay. David was very prompt with response to questions and issues. He was easy to deal with and wanted to be sure we enjoyed our stay.
Nice condo with plenty of room for our group of 5 adults. Beach & pool are very close walks (pool 5 minutes & beach 8-10). Sound side & town of Duck are less than a 5 minute drive. Nice community with many activities available We really enjoyed our week!
I want to thank David for letting us stay in his cozy beach condo! We loved the close proximity to the beach and âdowntownâ Duck. The condo is just as described - with character and beachy vibes! Perfect for our family of 4!
Location and all the things to do at the property was excellent! Everything with the condo was great except the wifi connection was bad. Overall a great week and a great place to stay!
The pictures did not do this property justice. We stayed in the condo with our two kids, ages 10 and 11. We had more than enough space with the two levels and the kids were thrilled to have a floor all to themselves with their own bedrooms. David was very responsive, with great recommendations for local restaurants and activities, and check-in/check-out were super simple. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed to make meals, and the bathrooms were recently updated. The property had so many great amenities and the new Rec center was a big hit with the kids. On a cooler day outside we went in there for the sauna, pool, hot tub, and Rec room games like ping pong and pool. It was extremely clean and well maintained. Outside, the beach was right there, but we also had the option of the outdoor pool, shuffleboard, tennis, etc. For local activities that we took part in, we were just 25 mins from the wild horse tours in Corolla, 15 mins from mini golf/go-karts, 30 mins from Jeanetteâs pier, and 20 mins from the sand dunes where the kids went sledding. Duck was super friendly and had amazing restaurants and lots of great treats (donuts!). We loved walking the boardwalk and popping in and out of different stores. I highly recommend Duck over other towns in Outer Banks because of the village feel. You can rent bikes or a golf cart for the week and get everywhere you need to go. We are already planning our next trip back. This was a great, mellow time of year to come.
I have been coming to Duck since 1998. It has always been my home away from home. David is such an amazing host and always answers when something is needed. Barrier island is a nice resort because it has everything! Love the shops along the boardwalk! The weather wasnât the best but my husband and I still had a lovely time! We will be back in June and canât wait!
Unit is the perfect location to the tennis courts and pool. So many activities for kids like shuffle board, movie by the pool night and games for kids. Deck off of unit had partial views of ocean and pool. Pool is huge and beaches were not overcrowded especially for the week leading into July 4th. Owner was courteous and made check in so easy. Very Close to duck water front shops about a 5 min drive. Great location.
David was very responsive to requested items that were not left by the cleaning company. Our fridge needed service and David had it repaired immediately and offered to get us a new one. The location to the beach, shops and restaurants was perfect. We would stay here in the future
Owner was very responsive excellent location and wonderful amenities. House was fully stocked. Reason for 4 star on cleanliness was due to very yucky dirty hot pads in kitchen. Small recommendation - would be nice to have table on deck. Aside from that wonderful rental and would absolutely recommend!!!
This property was a close to the beach, the boardwalk and most of the sights in Duck. We loved getting in our morning walks and exploring the area. The property was spacious and had a fully stocked kitchen. There were some cleanliness issues - there was old hum on one of the bedsides and the towels were threadbare. The place has some updates but still needs some work in the bathrooms. Overall we enjoyed the area and our stay.
This is our fifth time at Barrier Island Station and our second time renting this condo. The owner continues to add upgrades and is extremely responsive to any and all questions. The unit is well stocked with pretty much everything imaginable from kitchen to pool accessories. The location is excellent and very convenient to the boardwalk, shops and great restaurants as well as other areas of âthe Banksâ. We will reserve again.
Was a nice space for small family. Unfortunately, the indoor pool is not open or ready, and there is no game room available due to that construction. The complex is dated, and tennis courts are old but ok. I imagine this is a nice place if you spend all your time outside on the beach, but for off-season, it is not a great space for indoor time. Needs a bit of maintenance (screen door, shower door, lightbulbs in kitchen) but overall good space.
