The suites at Ocean Pines provide an idyllic escape to the quieter part of North Carolina’s Outer Banks. The resort is situated on the outskirts of the quaint and charming barrier island town of Duck, N.C., an area that delivers endless ocean views, fresh local seafood, and a laid-back atmosphere perfect for a relaxing beach vacation.

THE SPACE

At this property guests have access to a range of resort amenities, including an indoor swimming pool, fitness center, tennis courts, and playground area for children.

All the 2BR/2BA units at Ocean Pines are 2 level townhouse style condos, with an attached parking garage / carport. The first level is where both bedrooms and both bathrooms are located, with the Master bedroom having a private bathroom and private deck. The second level is the main living space, with a full Kitchen, Dining Room, Living room with Fireplace, and another outdoor deck off the Living Room area.

All two-bedroom suites include a Full Kitchen, Fireplace, and two Full Bathrooms. King bed in the Master bedroom, two Twin beds in the second bedroom, and a Queen Sleeper Sofa in the living room. Private outdoor decks on the 1st and 2nd level. You will also have access to your own Washer / Dryer unit in the utility room off the your parking garage.

This unit is rated to sleep 6 comfortably, but if you have extra children, or members in your group, you can bring an air mattress for extra bedding, and turn this unit into a sleeps 8.

GARDEN VIEW / RESORT VIEW CATEGORY:

The Ocean Pines resort provides direct Beachfront access, and this property stretches from Ocean to Sound, providing access to both. However this specific unit is not Oceanfront or Ocean View, and there is no view of the Ocean from the windows or outdoor decks in this unit. This unit is located in the C Building (see property map in the pictures section), and is very close to the Beach access stairway and ramp down to the Beach, it's almost outside your Front door. So you won't see the Ocean from your unit, but you will have easy and convenient access to the Beach.

UNIT INTERIORS

Since this property was originally constructed in the 1980's, you will find most unit interiors are clean and comfortable but a little dated. Hopefully the photos provided give you a general understanding for what I am describing.

The benefits offered by staying at this resort includes being in a great location inside the city limits of the Town of Duck, and all the dining and shopping options only minutes away, having easy and convenient beach access, having access to a nice indoor pool / recreation area, and being able to book this at a price point that offers good value for a family friendly budget. This unit also provides a Full Kitchen and Washer / Dryer inside your unit.

Many families enjoy their annual vacations at this property, however if you are a traveler that requires luxury accommodations, this may not be the right choice for you. If you have any specific questions on this please don't hesitate to ask.

STAIRS / ACCESSIBILITY:

Most properties in OBX have a certain number of stairs, so that buildings are elevated and protected in case of potential flooding that could be caused by hurricanes or major storms.

So almost all the units at this resort have a certain number of stairs leading to the Front Door of the unit and interior stairs between the 1st and 2nd level.

Exterior Stairs to Front Door – 7 steps

Interior Stairs to 2nd level – 16 steps

GUEST ACCESS

This is a Resort Condominium property. Guests will have their own private unit, but Pool, Hot Tub, other Amenities, and common grounds on the property will be shared with other Guests.

- Although basic bedding linens, blankets, and pillows are provided, I highly recommend you bring some of your own if your family members have their own favorite pillows or blankets.
