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!

Summer 24

We enjoyed our stay. Great place for a couple to get away and relax. Location is great, pretty much in the middle of town. You can walk to several eating spots and the beach. The swimming pool is excellent as well. The owners are very friendly and responsive. Would definitely recommend if you are visiting the area.

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!

OBX Treasure

The condo was so clean and so well-stocked that we thought we must be the first guests to stay there! The pool is large enough to swim laps in, and we had it all to ourselves! The location is absolutely perfect: walking distance to many shops on the main drag, as well as walking distance to the beach! We've already made our reservations for next year for a longer stay! Thank you, Daniel! Eileen & Dave

Appreciated the Welcome Video

My husband & I travel a lot, we have never had such an inviting video with instructions of remotes, hot tub as well as location of condo. Well supplied with essential. 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.

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!

Heavenly

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!

Great couple getaway

We had a great visit at Zen in Duck! The space worked really well for two people and was well stocked for what we needed. The pool was a nice change from going to the beach and really appreciated the options with the outdoor space. Also appreciated how easy was to contact Dan with any questions during our stay.

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😌

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 = A Slice of Heaven

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!

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.

A jewel in Duck!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Simply Zen and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The location is fantastic – just a quick walk to both the beach and the town, making it the ideal spot for a beach getaway. The apartment itself is a charming, cozy haven, with a fully stocked kitchen and bath, making it feel like a home away from home. It is nicely decorated, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. It's evident that the hosts have put thought and effort into making the space enjoyable for guests. One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the hot tub. The private and well-maintained hot tub added an extra layer of luxury to our stay. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful. From the easy check-in process to providing local tips and recommendations, their hospitality made my trip even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located, and hassle-free beach retreat.
