Dune Nest -- Oceanfront Gem Nestled In The Dunes With Endless Ocean Sunrises

Dune Nest is a lovely, comfortable and cozy, newly updated one bedroom two bath condo located just seconds to the beach in Duck, NC on the Outer Banks! Our condo is on the 1st floor with fantastic expansive views of the Atlantic ocean beach and dunes. Our ocean front deck is the perfect spot to watch the sunrise over the Atlantic's surf, watch dolphins play and pelicans flying and to idle the day away. Imagine your morning coffee and you on the deck watching the sunrise, listening to the surf, and watching the pelicans flying by as they start their day. Bring your binoculars or use ours for close ups of the dolphins, pelicans, loons, sandpipers, seagulls etc.


Dune Nest offers a master bedroom with a comfy queen-sized bed, newly updated full baths (super convenient for a family), comfortable queen-sized sofa bed, arm chairs, hallway twin bunk beds, modern kitchen, two flat screen TVs (living room and master bedroom), DVD player/movie library, free WiFi, beach chairs and umbrella, Keurig Coffee maker, drip coffee maker, hair dryer, new HVAC system, high-end quiet ceiling fans, dining table for 6, keyless entry system, and much more.

Please note our condo is on the first floor of a three story building with stairs and no elevator. Because the property is built on pilings to manage potential floods, there are 17 steps to reach this first floor unit.

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 sand, nice surf and great beach combing. We have beach chairs and umbrella 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 (bring your balls and rackets), pool side restrooms, oceanfront showers, ocean front gazebos, and coin operated 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, enjoy sound side sunset views by the bar, sip coffee at Duck Cottage Books, rent bikes to ride on the jogging/biking trails, walk the sound-side boardwalk for bird watching and shopping and eating, and rent canoes, kayaks and other water sports equipment.

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

Delighted in Duck!
The Dune Nest in Duck, NC was clean and comfy - a true “home” at the end of our days’ adventures. The location right on the ocean was wonderful and we enjoyed the deck both morning and night. The hosts were very responsive to my emailed questions and provided good info. prior to our trip. We have zero complaints. except, maybe, that the week went by too quickly. Thank you!!

Duck Vacation
The condo was just perfect for the 2 of us. Communication with the owners was timely and check in was flawless. Everything was clean and well laid out. The view of the ocean from the back deck (4 nice chairs) is amazing. We spent a lot of time on the deck watching the waves and relaxing. The walk to Duck is an easy .8 mile. There's a ton of places to explore in the area. Plenty of great restaurants are within a few minutes and the grocery store is close. Except for the cool, rainy weather (yes it's May), we had a great vacation at Dune Nest.

Literally on the Dunes
We stayed on the Outer Banks during March, so off-season. The condo is clean, very quiet, and surprisingly private. This end unit condo has a perfect view of the dunes and the ocean; the roar of the surf and the super close boardwalk to the sand were everything I wanted in a winter beach vacation.
