This wonderful 2nd floor condo in Colony By The Sea features comfort, easy beach access, and only a hop, skip and a jump to Duck's unique shops, galleries and restaurants. This condo is an affordable beach rental on the Outer Banks where you can experience a great family vacation. This condo is located on the second floor. The Colony by the Sea community pool is open from Memorial Day thru late September.
We loved our stay week! The property was exactly as advertised with an even better ocean view than expected. As other reviews mentioned, be aware that there are 2 flights of stairs to get to the condo. Also, the king size bed was on the softer side. The updated kitchen and bathrooms were great, and our kids loved the bunk bed options. We would definitely book here again!
The condo was even better in person than online. It was impeccably clean- I felt like I was in my house. The kitchen was very well stocked. All of the furniture was comfortable. The water pressure in the showers were amazing. The only negative thing was the TV in the room with the bunks, only had 1 channel. In the big picture of things, not a huge deal. Thank you for a wonderful week away!!!
We had a FANTASTIC stay at the Colony By The Sea. I must say that we were happily surprised walking into the condo. It was clean and adorable and the views of the ocean were spectacular. There was plenty of room for my family of four. It was fabulous that there was such a short walk to the beach and that the pool was also right there. I also really liked that there was a bathroom that residents could use right by the beach rinse off. The complex is close to the amazing Duck village and I rode my bike into town to get a coffee every morning. Not only could you watch the sun rise from the patio, but you could ride your bike or walk (or drive) to watch the sun set over the sound along Duck's boardwalk. My ONLY complaint was the noise from the upstairs unit. I had seen a review that talked about the noise and blew it off as I don't mind a little noise. I don't mind it during the day, but being woken up by loud stomping and dogs barking and things being dragged EVERY morning starting at 4am was a bummer. That is the ONLY reason I'm only giving 4 stars instead of 5. If you are not a light sleeper or you bring earplugs, you will probably be just fine. Again, loved the place overall!!!
I am not picky but be aware no elevator if youâre on the third floor itâs a long ways up any floor below that be aware tenants above walking around in the middle of the night itâs only wood floors so if youâre a light sleeper you may need some earplugs besides that great place
