BIS-Duck - 2BR/2BA - Ocean View with Great Pools and Beach! - Vacation rental home in Kitty Hawk, NC

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 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.

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 amazing 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 sizable 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 remodeled. 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 huge 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 appreciate 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 savor 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.

The staff members on-site provide the best opportunity to get any concerns resolved in the fastest and most efficient manner.

- Two COMPLIMENTARY parking passes are included 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 supplied. 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 included 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.

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