This unique 24-acre resort property located right on the edge of the Town of Duck, NC, sits between the Ocean and the Sound, and offers access to both.

GARDEN / RESORT / OCEAN VIEW CATEGORY:

While the resort itself is Beachfront, this specific unit is located in the 300 Building (see property map in the photos section). This is near the middle of the property, but slightly closer to the Sound side. However, since this specific unit is located at one of the highest points of the property, there are striking expansive vistas of the Ocean from this unit from both decks. There are also expansive vistas of the Resort property and some parts of the town of Duck. The view type category could be considered “Garden / Resort / Ocean View.”

It is possible to walk to the Resort’s private Beach access, but since this is a huge 24+acre property that stretches from Sound to the Ocean, it can be a longer walk to the beach from certain sections of the resort versus other areas.

If you have a lot of beach gear, or modest kids, it might not be practical to walk to the beach from this unit in the summer heat (between 1/8 mile to 1/4 mile depending on unit location). Your best option might be to drive to the parking area right near the Outdoor Pool and Beach access.

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.

There are no elevators at this resort. Almost all the units have a certain number of stairs leading to the Front Door of the unit. Some have interior stairs to a 2nd level, or depending on the specific unit configuration, as few stairs up or down to one of the bedrooms inside the unit.

BIS-Duck Resort will provide assistance carrying your baggage to your unit if you would like some help.

For this specific unit: Please note that this unit has one of the better expansive Garden / Ocean Vistas available at this Resort, because it sits on the highest point on the property. However, this is also one of the units with the most steps. If steps are not an issue, the vistas are worth it.

Exterior Stairs to Front Door – 30 steps

Interior Stairs to 2nd level – 15 steps

UNIT INTERIORS:

This property was originally constructed in the late 1980's and early 1990's. Recently a $8+ Million dollar remodel project was started and expected to be finished in phases.

Before the renovation started, most of the unit interiors were roomy and comfortable but very dated.

Please note this specific unit in the 300 Building section has been partially modernized. This unit has received new Flooring throughout, new furnishings in the Living Room and bedrooms, new window coverings, freshly painted in all rooms, and the Kitchen has been refreshed (although countertops remain the same). The Master Bath also had the enormous garden tub replaced with a Walk-In shower.

The benefits offered by this resort are the overall amenities, including one of the biggest outdoor pool areas on OBX. Next to the pool area there is an onsite Sea Glass Snack Shack serving stuff like burgers and hot dogs, beverages, and water ice.

This property is definitely one of the most unique on OBX, with direct access to the both the Beach and the Sound, and in very close proximity to the many stores and eateries in the Town of Duck. You also benefit from these spacious units being priced lower than comparable options of the same size in the area.

Many families savor their annual vacations at this property, however if you are a traveler that requires more opulent accommodations, this may not be the right choice for you, and you might want to consider one of the more expensive listings on Vacation Rental By Owner.

I am not trying to sound negative, because personally we appreciate this property, I just want to make sure your expectations match reality. So if you have any specific questions on this please don't hesitate to ask.

GUEST ACCESS

Your unit is private, but since this is a sizable Resort property, amenities will be shared with other guests (Pools, Beach, Recreation Center, Outdoor Games, etc).

- Two COMPLIMENTARY parking passes are supplied with this unit, which you will receive from the Front Desk at Check In. If you need parking for an additional car you can arrange this directly with the Front Desk.

- Linens linens, including blankets, sheets, and pillows are included. However, if have you have any favorites blankets or pillows, or if you sleep better using a certain type of pillow, it would be good to bring your own.

- Please especially take note of the detail above about bed coverings. BIS-Duck provides Blankets but does NOT provide the heavier, bulkier Comforters that you may have on your bed at home. The Blankets on the beds should be fine for most families, but you could bring an additional Blanket or Comforter if you have any concerns about that.

- If you plan on using the Sleeper couches during your stay, I definitely recommend bringing your own sheets, pillows, and blankets, maybe even a bed pad for the Sleeper couch specifically, which can be turned into a very comfortable additional bed. Also plan accordingly if your unit has multiple sleeper couches (bringing 2 sets of sheets, pillows, blankets, etc).

- Bath and Hand towels are supplied for you and will be inside your unit when you arrive.

- There is no daily housekeeping supplied. However your unit does have it's own Washer / Dryer in the unit that is for your use only. If additional housekeeping is desired during your stay it is available for an additional fee scheduled directly with the resort Front Desk.

- Each Unit will receive a "Starter Package" at Check In. Your unit will have basic supplies like toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, etc to get you thru the first day or two of your stay. I recommend you definitely be prepared for this by bringing your own supplies in these categories based on what you feel you will need for the week (especially if there are specific brands you favor). Also don’t forget any cleaning products if you want them (cleaners, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, etc). There are grocery stores conveniently located in Kitty Hawk, Duck, and Corolla if you want to shop for any groceries or personal items you want during your stay.

- Pool / Beach towels are not supplied. Each family should bring their own pool / beach towels

- 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 newly constructed in Powell's Point is only about 15 miles away

- If you or any members of your family enjoy bicycle riding, I strongly recommend taking your own bicycles (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. Bicycle units in Duck are available if you don't bring your own. Remember to take your bicycle locks so you can lock up your bicycles at the bicycle rack each nighttime.

- If you are interested in fishing while on vacation, just make sure you have the proper licenses. There are also many rental and charter boats for fishing based out of the various inlets if you wanted access to waters farther offshore.

- Family Animals are not allowed anywhere on or in the Resort property.

Our top Rental property booking tips:

Find your perfect rental home:

• In the Kitty Hawk area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• To get the best rental home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Kitty Hawk attractions and restaurants.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Kitty Hawk visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental home:

• First and foremost, have your group select date ranges and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration you need. BIS-Duck - 2BR/2BA - Ocean View with Great Pools and Beach! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what is suitable for your trip.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Kitty Hawk attraction you love, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect your property!
• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
