Perfect quiet getaway
Dan and Robins Simply Zen was a perfect, quiet getaway that had private pool and hot tub jacuzzi at our disposal. The condo had 1 king bedroom, full kitchen and nice sitting area with tv. It really lived up to the advertised accomodation and we were quite impressed. Close to many area attractions and restaurants. Simply Zen. Dave and Janelle Couldnt have been any nicer.

Several great restaurants in downtown Duck The property was great, allowing us to unwind by the pool or in the hot tub. We will definitely be 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.

Perfect getaway in the heart of Duck
Simply Zen is a must when staying in Duck. The property has recently been updated and is walking distance to both the beach and shops/restaurants. The hosts, Daniel and Robin, are wonderful and will answer any questions you may have. I highly recommend booking your stay at 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.

A Jewel in Duck
We highly recommend this place!!! The house was newly renovated, clean, bright and comfortable. We enjoyed using the pool which was right outside our door. The location was great. The beach was close and it was a quick walk to town for restaurants and shopping. We had a very relaxing stay and look forward to visiting again.

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.

An Amazing 1st Family Vacation - A+
This was the first ever family vacation that my wife and our 8 month old son had ever taken together so this was a very special family trip. And we will never forget this very special place (and we will definitely be heading back to Simply Zen!) From the initial communication with the owner, Dan, all the way through the trip this was exceptional. A few things stood out - 1. The place is even better than the pictures. The inside was modern and immaculate. Very well done and very comfortable. The outdoor space is incredible. Pool and hot tub both terrific. The grill was clean and ready for use. And the seating area around the pool was where we spent a lot of our time with our young son. Comfortable chairs and lounges. It's also very private and peaceful back there. 2. Location - Another thing we loved was that it is about an equal walk to the beach as it is down a short hill into town - maybe 7 minutes each way I would guess. One morning we walked to the beach to see the sunrise and then we walked into town for Duck Donuts. You can easily walk to lots of places in town. If you are looking to stay somewhere that is elevated in terms of quality - but also easy and comfortable to manage - this is where I would recommend. It made our first family vacation memorable - I don't think I could give the place, or Dan, a better complement than that. Oh also, he even had a pack and play set up for us when we arrived for our son to sleep in. How's that for service?!

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.

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.

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!

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!
