Ocean Pines - 2BR/2BA Condo in Duck, NC

The suites at Ocean Pines provide an idyllic escape to the quieter part of North Carolina’s Outer Banks. The resort is situated on the outskirts of the quaint and charming barrier island town of Duck, N.C., an area that delivers endless ocean views, fresh local seafood, and a laid-back atmosphere perfect for a relaxing beach vacation.

THE SPACE

At this property guests have access to a range of resort amenities, including an indoor swimming Pool, Fitness area, Tennis courts, and Playground area for children. There are also large open areas for walking or for the kids to play in.

All the 2BR/2BA units at Ocean Pines are 2 level townhouse style condos, with an attached Carport / Garage.

The first (1st) level is where both Bedrooms and both Bathrooms are located, with the Master bedroom having a private bathroom and private deck. King bed in the Master bedroom, two Twin beds in the second bedroom, and a Queen Sleeper Sofa in the living room. Private deck off the Master bedroom.

The second (2nd) level is the main living space, with a full Kitchen, Dining Room, Living room with Fireplace, and private outdoor deck off the Living Room area.

You will also have access to your own Washer / Dryer unit in the utility room in the Carport / Garage.

This unit is rated to sleep 6 comfortably, but if you have extra children, or members in your group, you can bring an air mattress for extra bedding, and turn this unit into a sleeps 8.

GARDEN VIEW / RESORT VIEW CATEGORY:

The Ocean Pines resort provides direct Beachfront access, and this property stretches from Ocean to Sound, providing access to both. However this specific unit is not Oceanfront or Ocean View, and there is no view of the Ocean from the windows or outdoor decks in this unit. This unit is located in the D Building (see property map in the pictures section), and is very close to the Beach access stairway and ramp down to the Beach, it's almost outside your Front door. So you won't see the Ocean from your unit, but you will have easy and convenient access to the Beach.

UNIT INTERIORS

Since this property was originally constructed in the 1980's, you will find most unit interiors are clean and comfortable but a little dated. Hopefully the photos provided give you a general understanding for what I am describing.

The benefits offered by staying at this resort includes being in a great location inside the city limits of the Town of Duck, and all the dining and shopping options only minutes away, having easy and convenient beach access, having access to a nice indoor pool / recreation area, and being able to book this at a price point that offers good value for a family friendly budget. This unit also provides a Full Kitchen and Washer / Dryer inside your unit.

Many families enjoy their annual vacations at this property, however if you are a traveler that requires luxury accommodations, this may not be the right choice for you. If you have any specific questions on this please don't hesitate to ask.

UNITS / PHOTOS

Please note that this listing includes multiple weeks available. The photos reflect the interiors of several different units you might be assigned, depending on which specific week you book. However, these units all have the same basic floorplan, with the general decor and layout reflected in the photos. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

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.

So almost all the units at this resort have a certain number of stairs leading to the Front Door of the unit and interior stairs between the 1st and 2nd level.

Exterior Stairs to Front Door – 7 steps

Interior Stairs to 2nd level – 16 steps

GUEST ACCESS

- Bedding linens, Blankets, Pillows are provided. However, if you need additional items for bedding, pillows, or blankets / comforters during your stay, please bring your own, as the Front Desk will NOT be able to provide extra bedding or pillows.

- Although basic bedding linens, blankets, and pillows are provided, I highly recommend you bring some of your own if your family members have their own favorite pillows or blankets.

- 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.

- Utensils, Dishes, and some basic Pots and Pans are provided. If something appears to be missing, you can contact the Front Desk and possibly get it dropped off (if they have it). However, if you plan on cooking a lot of meals inside your unit, or plan any special dishes, I do recommend bringing your favorite Large Frying pan (or Large Sauté Pan, Wok, Crockpot, etc, etc) for cooking. This way you will have something you are comfortable using and you will know exactly how things will cook in it. You may also want to bring your favorite Kitchen knife(s) for food prep.

- You should bring your own Beach Chairs / Beach Blankets / Umbrellas / Coolers / Equipment you want to use on the beach. If you don’t bring your own stuff, you are able to rent Beach chairs / Umbrellas in the Town of Duck, or during most summer weeks on the beach out in front of the facility.

- 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.

- Pets are not permitted anywhere on or in the Resort property.
