THE SPACE

From your unit you can walk, bicycle, or drive to the Beach, Outdoor pool area, and the Sound. Or you can walk / bicycle to the village of Duck and shop or dine along the 1-mile boardwalk located along the Sound. In the evenings try not to miss some of the spectacular sunsets over the Sound.

GARDEN / RESORT VIEW CATEGORY:

While the resort itself is Beachfront this specific unit is located in the 600 Building (see property map in the photos section), and is located in just about the middle of the property between the Sound and the Beach.

There are 2 sizable decks, one on each side of this unit offering breathtaking vistas of the Resort property. Great outdoor space available with this unit.

It is possible to walk to the Resort’s private Beach access, but since this is a enormous 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. 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 included 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 and windows.

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

For this specific unit:
Exterior Stairs to Front Door – 35 steps
Interior Stairs to 3rd bedroom – 7 steps
Interior Stairs to Master Bedroom - 5 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 thru 2024/2025.

Until the entire renovation is finished, resulting in every unit interior being remodeled, you will find most unit interiors are clean and comfortable but dated. These units definitely have more of a rustic, nearly like a cabin at the beach type feel, with older furnishings and carpets. Hopefully the photos supplied 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), an onsite Beach Bar and Grille, having direct access from the property to both a handsome Beach and the Sound, and staying in very close proximity to the Town of Duck. This is definitely one of the best locations on OBX. 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 luxury accommodations, this may not be the right choice for you. If you have any specific questions on this please don't hesitate to ask.

- 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.

- 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.

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

- The new H2OBX Waterpark newly constructed in Powell's Point is only about 15 miles away

- If you or any members of your family appreciate 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, there is Surf fishing out in front of the resort on the beach, or pier fishing from one of the piers on OBX. You would just need to make sure you had the proper licenses though, which can be obtained conveniently locally. 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.
