Dolphin Dawn - See Dolphins at Dawn from your deck!

This is a beautiful, newly decorated condo located just steps to the beach! Our condo is on the 2nd floor with fantastic views of the ocean and ocean front pool (unheated) from every window. The large deck right off the living room is the perfect spot to relax to the sound of the surf, to watch the sun rise and dolphins play at dawn (or all day!) in the ocean, or to idle the day away. Bring your binoculars or use ours for close ups of the dolphins, pelicans, seagulls etc. Our unit offers a master bedroom with king bed, two full baths (super convenient for a family) sleep sofa queen bed, hallway XL single berth bed, fully appointed kitchen (including Keurig coffee maker, drip coffee maker, blender, toaster, dishwasher!), two flat screen TVs (living room and master bedroom), free WiFi, brand new deck swing, keyless entry system, and much more. Please note our condo is on the second floor of a three story building with stairs and no elevator.

Note: Linens and towels are NOT included in our rental, but can be rented by guests directly with a linen rental company to help guests keep their costs down. Or guests may bring their own linens and towels. Pillows, blankets and quilts are provided.

Our beach-- only steps away from our condo -- features coastal dunes, soft creamy sand, nice surf and great beach combing. We have beach chairs and boogie boards for your use during your visit.

In addition to our beach front, our condo community has an outdoor pool (unheated), outdoor grills, basketball and tennis courts, pool side restrooms, and oceanfront showers and laundry facilities.

We are only a short 15 minute walk to the lovely, historical village of Duck where you can enjoy the lovely shops, buy groceries, eat at great restaurants and cafes, buy books and sip coffee at Duck Cottage, rent bikes to ride on the jogging trails, walk the sound-side boardwalk for bird watching, and rent canoes, kayaks and other water sport equipment.

Bring your binoculars to bird watch and get great close ups of dolphins in our surf. Superb viewing from our deck!

Wonderful Weekend Birthday in Duck, NC!
This property was simply amazing. It was modern, well maintained with lovely beach decor, and had everything we needed for an enjoyable 4-day visit. The views are absolutely breathtaking - watching the sun rise and set over the ocean made it an unforgettable vacation. Easy parking, keyless entrance and very responsive hosts. Would highly recommend.

Great views. You need to emphasize having to get your own linens during the booking.

Great but Beware
My bad that I did not see in the listing that you have to bring your own linens and paper products. There was no dish soap, but there was a notice that you are supposed to vacuum and dust. That being said, it was just as described, and the location is great. You really are that close to the beach, and you can practically see the beach on the inland side from the open hallway. The town of Duck is cute with a wonderful boardwalk. And the response was immediate when I had to contact the owners.
