We enjoyed our time in Duck! The property was perfectly located in Duck, making it easy to walk or drive to many things. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the beautiful view. The kids also enjoyed the pool and we utilized many of the community amenities.

Clean, well appointed. It was in the first level, so not a lot of stairs, which we appreciated. We could see and hear the ocean, but not the waves breaking. Thank you

We enjoyed yet another stay at Charlie’s Casa. As the kids get older it gets a little more snug but the pull out couch suited just fine.

The property is beautiful and perfect for time away from the business of the real world! We would love to visit again!

This is a nicely maintained condo in a quiet neighborhood with quick access to the beach and a nice pool.
We had a great time sitting on the balcony listening to the waves and we actually saw deer one night grazing in the shrubbery outside the pool area.
The kitchen was very well appointed and I had no trouble cooking and preparing meals.
The only complaints I have are as follows:
The Internet was not great. I was consistently having to reconnect on my phone and was never able to connect to streaming on the tvs.
The TV in the bedroom wasn't able to complete its setup and so I couldn't use it, which was kind of a nuisance because I like having the background noise on at night.
Luckily, my friend brought his laptop and we were able to connect it to the TV in order to watch streaming services.
There were a few lights that were not working; the bathroom had 2 of the 3 bulbs out and one of the overhead lights was burnt out as well.
Also, there was a dishwasher full of dirty dishes and trash on the balcony when we arrived.
Overall, that did not deter us from having a great time and I would definitely stay here again!

What a treat! This condo has such amazing and easy access to the beach with incredible views as well. This was our 4 year old’s first trip to the beach, and this couldn’t have been any easier for her. The condo was spacious for a family of 3 and had every amenity we could have needed. Absolutely would stay here again!

Relaxing stay with a couple of hickups
Great view of ocean from deck and unit. We had a bug issue with ants in kitchen and a bug in our bed that startled my wife and made her uncomfortable. Called Kees and they had the home treated by pest control company the next day. We thought the unit could have been cleaner. It was just ok from a cleanliness standpoint. Overall our stay was a 6 on scale of 1-10 due to the issues mentioned above.

There were many small details that made this unit stand out. There were books and games. All the light switches were labeled, which was nice. Would definitely stay again.

Enjoyed stay in Duck!
The property was great and showed as advertised. The short distance to the beach made it easy to go back and forth as needed during the day. We would stay here again.

Comfortable Stay in Duck
Enjoyed a relaxing 4-night stay in Duck at the end of July. Property was very clean and well maintained. That's where the positives ended. Never received the passcode for entry as promised 24 hours before check-in, and had to call Kees on the drive down that morning. Wifi was spotty and constantly disconnecting. We had to constantly reconnect, which was irritating for my husband who was trying to work remote while here. Sent several inquiries for the Property Manager via the VRBO feature and never got any responses to my questions prior to arrival. Soap dispenser in the master bath needs to be better secured as it kept falling off the wall. Walls are extremely thin. We were regularly awoken by heavy walking above us early in the morning and late at night. That said, the location is very convenient to everything in Duck. Kids really enjoyed the pool. There are tons of jellyfish in the area now, you can't really go in the ocean due to sea lice. Overall, we prefer the smaller crowds in Corolla and will likely be going back there on our next OBX visit. If you're used to the comforts of a hotel then I recommend you keep looking, this was a very old building and a bit below our standards.

Great stay
Was most impressed with the cleanliness of the unit. The balcony however needed a good sweeping from previous guests. Views and location were great. Beds were comfortable and liked all the finishing and decor. I did not receive an email with the check in information/code so had to call the office to have it sent. Great stay overall and would go back.

A Great Getaway
The place was clean and well stocked with dishes, utensils, pots, pans, and appliances. It was very easy to get on and off the beach and was a quick drive to the Duck shops and restaurants. The complex was family friendly and quiet. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice property...check-in was more difficult than necessary
We found the property to be as described in the listing and we were very happy with the place relative to the price. Everything was clean and tidy. Kitchen was well equipped other than Kees info stated there was a Kuerig....there is not...there's a normal drip coffee maker.
The big complaint was the check-in process. After confirming a VRBO booking with Kees, you'll receive an email outlining the check-in process. According to Kees, they send you an email with your key access code 24 hours ahead of check-in. We didn't receive that email so I called the number listed around 6 pm the day before check-in and got an answering service that told me to call back the day of check-in for the code. So, being a trusting person I waited until the next day to call....I was on hold for over an hour driving to the property. Once I was finally connected to a human, I was told that they sent an email at 11 pm the night before--they did not. And no, it was not in my junk mail folder. While on the phone with Kees, they did send the email with the pertinent info, so we were able to open the door. However, it was well after the 4pm check-in time.
Beware if you are booking and make sure you receive the check-in email and be advised to call during business hours!

Great location and condo, but....
The a/c did not work and wasn't working even upon check-in. The property management company did provide a portal unit the next day, but it meant sealing off access to the deck for our stay because they had to order a part and the cooled air did not reach the back bedroom. I'm not sure why no one figured out the a/c was not working before we checked in? There should be mandatory system checks on appliances, HVAC, etc. They did give us a percentage back on the rental price so that helped. The unit is nice and really close to the beach. I personally would not rent there again, but if all systems worked, it is a nice place. Just a FYI..the bunks shown are really are for maybe pre-teens and younger. No adults could rest comfortable on those mattress and the space is really tight. Good thing the sofa was a sleeper.

Great Place for a Short Stay
Charlie's Casa (D-128) at Colony by the Sea had everything we needed for a 4-night stay. Easy access to beach and pool. We had 4 adults: 2 in the bedroom, 1 on the sofa and 1 on an Aerobed in the living area we brought from home. Hallway beds might be ok for children under 10 y.o., but not adults. The master bed and the couch are actually very comfortable. The ceiling fan is nice for air circulation.Too many throw pillows take up space when using the couch for a bed. We stacked them in a corner for the duration of our stay.
Kitchen is small, but who needs a large one on vacation? It served our needs fine. Nice having a fridge & microwave for beverages and left overs. My siblings enjoyed having the coffee maker. And, we all loved using Alexa to ask for beach music, island music, pirate music in theme with our vacation.
Drawbacks included small bathrooms, but still grateful there were two of them for showering in order to get ready for events faster. (Recommendation: could use some large Command Hooks in the showers for hanging wet swimsuits.) The laundry line on the patio has rusty clothes pins and the moisture of hanging things draws bugs.
The thermostat was tricky. We never did quite figure it out. There's some pre-programming set that we couldn't get around. We wanted it between 72° and 74° at night to sleep only with sheets, but sometime during the night it would automatically drop down to 66°. Those of us in the living room would freeze until we got up and reset it. So, make sure you get it figured out during your first day.

We were in condo D-128, which is up one flight of stairs. Parking is convenient. One space close. Other car(s) have to park further away. The view is great in that you look East and can see the water (and sunrises), but the vegetation blocks the view of the sand beach. Nice to sit in the evenings on the balcony with the breeze and hear the waves roll in.
Wonderful beach. Sand gets hot!!! Wear sandals or wet shoes. Not many shells, so disappointing for those who love to go shelling morning and night.
Convenient location in Duck. It's an older building on the outside, but everything inside the unit is nice, but for the small bathroom and hallway bunks. If it's the right size for your group, for a short stay, you won't be disappointed. If it were a week or more, and more than 2 adults, I'd want more space. Enjoy!!!

Awesome Quick Getaway
Charlie’s Casa is fantastic and a great place to stay for a small family looking to make a quick getaway. We stayed here for 3 nights to celebrate the end of the school year. The location is great being so close to Duck, but away from the main drag. The condo itself was well decorated, furnished with anything you might need, and had a great view of the ocean. The pool and beach access was only steps away, which we really appreciated when taking all our beach gear to the beach. Overall, a fantastic stay, and we look forward to returning in a July!
