    This place is really 1/1. Perfect for couples and to get a get away in the books. The location provides you private beach access, a parking spot close by to the location of the home, a Pool and hot tub and your own oasis. Prior to the check in the host checked in with myself giving me a breakdown of what to expect and where to park. Overall we were extremely pleased with our stay and WILL be there again in the future! You get some wildlife in the morning as well!

    We had a wonderful stay! The place was spotless and had such a cozy feel that made it easy to relax. It was obvious that the hosts take the time to think of what people need for their stay. The location was absolutely perfect — couldn’t have asked for better. Our only note is that storage space was a bit limited for our group’s belongings, but that’s a minor thing. We really enjoyed our time here and would 100% recommend it and can’t wait to go back! They made it easy for us to have a beautiful vacation.

The hosts were incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free from start to finish.The condo itself is newly updated and beautifully done. It was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. We especially loved the backyard space, which was a peaceful and inviting place to relax.The neighborhood felt very quiet and safe, and parking was convenient and hassle-free. The location is also a big plus; within a pleasant walking distance to the beach, as well as shops and restaurants.Overall, a great experience and a place we’d happily recommend to others! Don’t wait, just book this place, you won’t regret it!

    This was our first visit to the Outer Banks and we couldn't have asked for a better property to stay at. It is perfectly situated in walking distance to the beach, the sound, and main hub of shops in Duck. The amenities are private and the owners are super helpful and easy to communicate with. We'll gladly stay here again!

    The unit delivers as promised. It was Zen from the moment we arrived until the minute we left. What makes the unit so special is the outdoor living space with pool, jacuzzi and recreation area. But the inside is very finely appointed, also. The owners are fabulous to work with. Added to that, Duck itself is like a stress refuge. The whole area exudes peacefulness and contentment. I would certainly stay there again and recommend you do, also!

    We had a wonderful time at Duck! The condo was perfect for my hubs and me. We loved having our own private pool and hot tub in the back yard. The condo is positioned in the middle of the road which meant it was close to the beach and the town. We spent days at the beach and evenings in the pool and hot tub. Perfect trip for our anniversary!

    Stayed here for a long weekend with my girlfriend and this place was perfect. Short walk to the beach and everywhere in Duck. Also comes with beach parking which made it easy to get to and from the beach with a cooler, chairs, etc. The private pool and hot tub was great too, especially when the beach was crowded. Plenty of towels and beach/pool supplies as well. Dan was very responsive and helpful. Will definitely stay here again.

    cozy apartment perfect for a couple looking for a relaxing beach getaway. we had our own backyard pool, and the beach was as close to ‘private’ as you will find anywhere, and only 400 yards away. while the unit does not have its own washer/dryer, all I needed was a few tee shirts, bermuda shorts, and my bathing suit in this beachfront community.

    My husband and I stayed for several days and we can’t add anymore superlatives to other reviews. The communication, location, privacy and accommodations were top-notch. The place was just fabulous and having a private pool and large yard to extend our environment outside was unlike anything we’ve experienced. Such a perfect location to be able to walk to beach or the village. Great memories made!

    Beautiful and well-appointed property. Great neighborhood and location near the beach, restaurants and shops. Owners were thoughtful and nice. It actually snowed the day we were to arrive, and they cleared the driveway of snow for us. Interior was smartly decorated and very clean. Thoughtful owners provided advice on local attractions and dining spots. Also provided towels for the pool and blankets for the cool weather. Great owners!

Lots of privacy, perfect location.The owner has made great use of the space, we appreciate the king bed! We walked every morning to beach to watch sunrise, saw wild horse, Jordyn State park, ate at Treehouse & Paper Canoe, shopping across the way was the best in the area.

    What a special property! It’s like a precious gem! Everything about Simply Zen exceeded our expectations. The location is perfectly placed between the beach and the town of Duck. Easy walking to both, so you never need to use your car once you arrive. The condo and backyard were very inviting, calming and very private. Both indoor and outdoor spaces were thoughtfully decorated and supplied with everything one might need or want. It was truly like a Serene Oasis and we will definitely return to Simply Zen.
