Enjoy a getaway to remember at Dune't Worry, Beach Happy!

Friday Check-in during peak season; short term rentals in off season! Freshly updated for a soothing, open feeling. 1 Bedroom (plus bunk nook), 2 Bathroom - Condo With Ocean Views in the amazing town of Duck. Sleeps up to 6 (5 or less most comfortable). Don’t be scared of the lack of reviews!!! This home had great reviews under the former owners (we just purchased December 2021) and with all the updates we just completed, we started the listing over. All new furniture, paint, kitchen updates, all new windows and doors and 2 COMPLETELY renovated bathrooms!!

Dune't Worry, Beach Happy is located in the delightful town of Duck, NC. This third floor walk up (so be aware there are stairs as it is on the top floor and the building is lifted - great views but lots of stairs!) has ocean views, beach access and an oceanfront pool. It is the perfect spot for YOUR vacation. Quick onsite little walk to have your toes in the sand!

'Dune't Worry, Beach Happy' is a newly renovated third floor condo that contains 1 King bed in the master bedroom, two bunk beds in a cozy nook and a full sized convertible sofa in the living room. With two full baths (both walk in showers), a fully functioning kitchen and a large balcony with views of the ocean, Dune't Worry, Beach Happy will quickly become your family's favorite getaway spot.

Amenities to include wireless internet, a mounted 50" TV in the living room and another smart TV in the bedroom (both will play your accounts on Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, etc. accounts), an oven/range, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, and most importantly a coffee maker and a blender!

Everyone will be able to enjoy the ocean front pool, tennis courts, basketball court, playground, outdoor showers, and gazebos. Charcoal grills and picnic tables near the pool will help to make this vacation one you won’t soon forget!

'Dune't Worry, Beach Happy' is located just minutes away from the quaint area of downtown Duck. Once there you will find some of the Outer Banks’ best restaurants and shops and sound side boardwalk.

Linens/Towels are not provided, but I will be happy to give you a linen service recommendation upon request!

Sensational October Getaway
We enjoyed our 26th wedding anniversary at Dune’t Worry, Beach Happy! We loved the comfortable King Size bed, beach views from the front and back decks, separate bathrooms (LOL), and great communication from the owner and property manager. Thanks so much for a wonderful place to stay!!

Great location !
We had a short 3 night stay and the location right next to all the good restaurants in Duck was awesome. The upgrades to the property are very nice. Just a short walk to the ocean and amazing views of the ocean from the property. Wonderful experience with the host as well, she was very communicative and accommodating.

Dream vacation!
Loved this rental and vacation SO MUCH!! It was even better than advertised but the things you really need to be aware of - that it's a 3rd floor walk up, that you need to bring your own linens and towels - were just as advertised so we were thrilled. I went with a friend and it was perfect for us, but it would be even more ideal for a couple with a kid or 2, just becauseof the condo's layout. We loved how close it was to the beach!! And if you enjoy walking, which we love, you can walk almost everywhere you need or want to go. I walked miles of beach, all over the amazing town of Duck with all its cute and inviting shops, all along the breathtaking boardwalk, plus within 45 min we were able to go hiking and find nature trails, etc. There are restaurants and live music, an outdoor tap room and a phenomenal fish market right in Duck if you like to cook. The condo afforded us everything we needed to have an incredible vacation and maximize our first time in OBX. The condo is beautiful, clean, bright and modern and to be able to eat or drink coffee on the deck overlooking the ocean is worth every penny. Jen, our host, was friendly, helpful and super responsive. All in all A+++.

Great place to stay!
This was the perfect place to stay!! We all loved it. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. I would definitely stay at this place again. The beach was like a 3 minute walk and the pool was right there as well. We were also able to walk to the shops and dinner. Definitely would recommend this place to my friends.

The perfect spot!
This was the perfect little spot for our family vacation! The condo was just what we needed for the 4 of us and is located right in the center of Duck, with quick and easy access to restaurants and shops! The condo was clean and just as pictured/described! There are a lot of stairs but that is very clearly addressed in the description so this was no surprise. The beach and pool were perfect! We’re already planning to come back next summer! So grateful to have found this little slice of heaven and have such great hosts! They were quick to answer any questions we had and kept me up to date on all aspects of the rental leading up to our trip! Could not recommend more!

We had wonderful stay! The owner, Jen, is kind, thoughtful, and a great communicator! Loved the view of the beach from the front porch. The chairs on the front porch and deck are high quality and very comfortable. A helpful, handy feature noted was the drying rack on the back porch/deck. My son enjoyed the bunk beds as a "book nook" for reading. Overall, we had a fun time!

Clean and close to the beach
This place is perfect for a couple or a family with 1-2 young children who can sleep in bunk beds. The bunks are in the hallway. There are 4 flights of stairs to get to the apartment. It was very clean and the king bed was comfortable. The apartment complex itself needs maintenance, but it’s near town and restaurants. Overall a great place!

Wonderful place
I had a great experience with all of the fast and reliable communication with our host. The property was just what we expected, although previous tenants had left empty beer cans in random places (closets, tops of cabinets, etc.) and items in the freezer (empty ice cream containers) that we cleaned out. Otherwise, everything was clean and as expected. If I had any problems with mobility or with climbing stairs, I would not recommend a third floor property at Colony by the Sea, as the stairs can become very cumbersome. Also, it is unfortunate that the storage unit downstairs isn’t really available, as we could not get the combination lock to budge due to weather damage. It isn’t an inconvenience in the winter, but I can see this becoming a problem during summer months.

Enjoyable stay!
My husband and I spent our Duck vacation at this beach condo and had a wonderful experience here! It was perfect for the two of us. We especially enjoyed watching the sunrises each morning. The condo had everything we needed and was very clean. The recent upgrades give it a nice modern, fresh feel. The owner was very helpful and responsive anytime I reached out with questions about the property or town. Thank you for making our beach vacay even more enjoyable!

Perfect Getaway!
This was our first time staying in this property. We're glad we did. It is a short walk to the pool and beach; we could hear the ocean and see it from both the front and back decks. There are two high chairs on the front deck which allow for a panoramic view of the ocean, looking northeastward. The condo was clean and nicely decorated. We liked that is has two bathrooms. Jennifer contacted us well in advance and kept us updated. We could walk to restaurants. We would go there again and recommend it highly!

Lovely beach vacation
This is an ocean-view one-bedroom apartment at the third floor, aka 4th floor from ground level. It’s minutes walking distance to the famous white sand beach of Outer Banks, and close to downtown Duck. The place is clean and just as described. We enjoyed our stay. This is one of our favorite vacation destinations.
