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!

Home away from home. Relax in a quiet setting that puts you in close proximity to all the OBX activities. Clean and comfortable condo with full access to private pool, hot tub, and all amenities anyone could ask for.

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!

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!

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!

Perfect OBX Vacation Stay

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Simply Zen! It was especially nice and perfectly equipped! The host have thought of every detail! The pool and hot tub were an added bonus! The host was very responsive and even went the extra mile and shipped a left behind item back to us! I would highly recommend this OBX getaway!

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

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!

Book it now, don’t wait !!!

GF and I had an incredible experience at Simply Zen. You truly feel like you have your own little slice of paradise here. Dan did an awesome job on this place and it shows. It was very clean and had everything you needed. Communication with him was great and accommodated an early check in along with his awesome recommendations of the best spots around for food and entertainment in Duck. Located on a picturesque quiet beach street with easy and close access to beach. The pool/grill/lounge area at the house was the perfect wind down from a long day at the beach every evening. Couldn’t be more happy with our stay.

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.

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.
