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 / biking proximity to multiple activities and dining options. From your unit you can walk to the Beach, Outdoor pool area, and the Sound. Being on the outskirts of the Town of Duck, you are just a few minutes drive from shopping or dining along the 1-mile boardwalk located along the Sound. Some people can walk / bike this distance, but that depends on the family. In the evenings try not to miss some of the spectacular sunsets over the Sound.

There is a Washer / Dryer inside your unit. COURTYARD / POOL / OCEAN VIEW CATEGORY: While the resort itself is Beachfront this specific unit is located in the 400 Building (see property map in the pictures section), and is close to the outdoor pool area. From your 1st floor and 2nd floor unit you overlook the Courtyard and main Pool areas and have a partial view of the Ocean. View varies slightly depending on what unit in the 400 Building you will be assigned. It is possible to walk to the Resort’s private Beach access, but since this is a large 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 small children, 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. 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 provided 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. Typically the higher you go the better your view is from the outdoor decks. 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 – 15 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 renovation project was started, and expected to be completed in phases thru 2023/2024. Before the renovation started, most of the unit interiors were spacious and comfortable but very dated. Please note this specific unit in the 400 Building section has been partially renovated. This unit has received new Flooring throughout, new furniture in the Living Room and bedrooms, new window coverings, newly painted in all rooms, and the Kitchen has been refreshed (although countertops remain the same). However, until I am able to take photos of the newly updated interior, I am leaving the old pictures in the ad. At a very minimum the older photos should give you an idea of the layout. I have added photo(s) at the end of the interior photos that was taken inside this type of unit. It shows the new flooring, furniture, and newly painted interiors. The benefits offered by this resort are the overall amenities, including one of the largest 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 shops and restaurants 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 enjoy their annual vacations at this property, however if you are a traveler that requires more luxurious accommodations, this may not be the right choice for you, and you might want to consider one of the more expensive listings on AirBnB. 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.
