About this Property

• 1 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Condo
• Approximately 650 square feet

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. This is arguably one of the best locations in the Outer Banks for convenience and walking / cycling proximity to multiple activities and dining options.

This property has one of the biggest outdoor pools on OBX and a Recreation Center with Indoor Pool, Hot Tub, Sauna, Exercise Room, and Activity Room.

THE SPACE

This is the B side of a 2BR/2.5BA lock-off unit. This unit is rated to sleep four (4) persons. This unit is roughly 650sq feet.

The B side – 1BR/1BA: Queen Size bed, Partial Kitchen with Sink, Microwave, Mini Fridge, Coffee Maker, etc. Living Room area with Queen Sleeper couch, Dining table with 4 chairs, outdoor Deck with table and chairs.

There is a Washer / Dryer in the entryway area shared only by the Guests in this specific A and B unit lock-off.

GARDEN / RESORT VIEW CATEGORY:

Garden View Category: Of the 115 total units at this resort, roughly 75% of them are considered "Garden / Resort View," which can also include a view of the grounds, other buildings, or the parking areas.

One nice feature of this specific unit is that it is located in the 800 Building (see property map in the photos section) and has an impressive location right next to the huge outdoor Pool. This 800 Buildings are also the ones closest to the Beach.

This is a 1st floor unit with just a few steps, so simple access!

While there is no view of the Pool or Ocean from this specific B side unit, this is part of a Poolside condo lockout unit and is very close to both the Pool and Beach, just steps outside your unit. You can appreciate the Sunsets over the Sound in the afternoon from your outdoor deck.

From the 800 Building it is possible to walk to the Resort’s private Beach access, since these buildings are closest to the beach. However, if you have a lot of beach gear, or modest kids, your best option might be to drive to the parking area right near the Outdoor Pool and Beach access. This private parking area is reserved for Resort guests where you can conveniently drop off your family and gear, or even park in the spaces supplied if one is available.

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.

Almost all the units at this resort 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. The number of stairs varies depending on the specific unit configuration, and whether the unit is considered first floor, second floor, or third floor.

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

For this specific unit:

Exterior Stairs to Front Door – 7 steps

Interior Stairs to 2nd level – 0 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.

Until the entire renovation is finished, resulting in every unit interior being modernized, you will find most unit interiors are cavernous and comfortable but very dated. So while personally I would describe this overall property as very laid back, casual, and comfortable, it is important to note that these units definitely have more of a rustic, nearly like a dated cabin at the beach type feel, with older furnishings and carpets. Hopefully the photos included give you a general understanding for what I am describing.

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 roomy 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 extravagant 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 enjoy 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- The new H2OBX Waterpark freshly 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.

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

Tips to get the best Kitty Hawk rental home experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Kitty Hawk area. To book the most suitable rental within budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kitty Hawk vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Kitty Hawk area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Kitty Hawk area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have coupons for local tours and attractions.

Make a plan and pick a perfect Kitty Hawk vacation home:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. BIS-Duck Resort - 1BR/1BA - Close to Pool and Beach has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you book the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a certain Kitty Hawk beach you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the property manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to propel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
