Relax at the Beach in Duck NC

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.

First time in Duck

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 Gem of a Property in Duck

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. All in within walking distance.

This condo is wonderful! It is bright, airy, and spotless as well as comfortable. We loved the outdoor space and the location. We biked and walked everywhere and never needed the car. The owners were very generous in all that they left for us as far as beach gear, towels, toiletries, etc... They also sent us a welcome video so we knew where everything was and how it worked. We will definitely come back!

Serene Oasis

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.

SIMPLY ZEN IS SIMPLY WONDERFUL

By far this is my favorite beach rental ever. The property is lovely and well cared for. The location is perfect, on a quiet side street of private residences with a beautiful beach at one end and the town of Duck at the other, both just a short walk away. Not to mention a great swimming pool and deck in the back yard. The apartment is nicely decorated without the overdone beach theme seen in so many beach rentals. The furniture is newer and very comfortable, including the king size mattress which is where many rentals lose points in my eyes. The whole apartment was well equipped with eveything needed for casual cooking. Beach towels and bath towels were fluffy and abundant, and higher end toiletries were provided in the bath. I have already recommended Simply Zen to friends and am planning to return, perhaps as soon as next year, because it was truly the perfect choice for a beach getaway vacation.

The Perfect Rental

Honestly we were impressed! Very nice, very new, very clean, very private! The owners were super easy to communicate with and even give a great walk-around/instructional video explaining the place before you check in! Private road with a 5 minute walk to the beach. Also very close to local coffee shops and restaurants. Apartment was clean and comfortable, while you have tons of outdoor space with a pool and hot tub for a relaxing day!

This housing it is amazing and beautiful everything is very close by and the beach was literally right down the street and parking is real easy because the host gives you a parking pass. Very clean and nicely set up for us once you get there all you have to do is unpack and start your vacation. All the locals are all so welcoming and sweet. The neighborhood it self is nice and peaceful and quite . You truthfully would never want to leave😌

It is very Zen

From the introductory Video of the property to the quick response from the owners. Our experience staying here was the best we ever had in a VRBO unit. The location and amenities both inside and outside of the unit basically leaves you only needing your clothes and something to eat and drink. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfection! Everything was absolutely perfect about our stay at Simply Zen…the condo is beyond immaculate and soooo beautiful, the location is amazing - everything is walking distance from restaurants, to shopping, and to the ocean. We had access to the pool, hot tub and outdoor shower which was such a bonus. We felt like we were at a resort everyday! Dan and Robin (the Hosts) are an absolute pleasure too. They are super nice and 100% responsive to any questions we had before and during our stay. We can’t wait to return to Simply Zen and Duck. Thank you for everything, Dan and Robin!

Perfect getaway!

This was our first trip to the Outer Banks. This was a perfect getaway with everything we needed. The owners are so accommodating and responsive to any questions. The condo is very quiet and extremely clean. It’s a close walk to the beach or to the quaint town of Duck. We especially enjoyed the pool after a day at the beach. I enjoyed feeling the breeze of the ocean while relaxing at the pool. The owners thought of everything including beach chairs, towels, and umbrella just to name a few! I can’t recommend Zen enough!
