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.

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.

The Perfect Rental
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!

This housing it is amazing and beautiful everything is very close by and the beach was literally right down the street and parking is real easy because the host gives you a parking pass. Very clean and nicely set up for us once you get there all you have to do is unpack and start your vacation. All the locals are all so welcoming and sweet. The neighborhood it self is nice and peaceful and quite . You truthfully would never want to leave😌

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!

The condo was so clean and so well-stocked that we thought we must be the first guests to stay there! The pool is large enough to swim laps in, and we had it all to ourselves! The location is absolutely perfect: walking distance to many shops on the main drag, as well as walking distance to the beach! We've already made our reservations for next year for a longer stay! Thank you, Daniel! Eileen & Dave

Simply Zen = A Slice of Heaven
Perfection! Everything was absolutely perfect about our stay at Simply Zen…the condo is beyond immaculate and soooo beautiful, the location is amazing - everything is walking distance from restaurants, to shopping, and to the ocean. We had access to the pool, hot tub and outdoor shower which was such a bonus. We felt like we were at a resort everyday! Dan and Robin (the Hosts) are an absolute pleasure too. They are super nice and 100% responsive to any questions we had before and during our stay. We can’t wait to return to Simply Zen and Duck. Thank you for everything, Dan and Robin!

Perfect getaway!
This was our first trip to the Outer Banks. This was a perfect getaway with everything we needed. The owners are so accommodating and responsive to any questions. The condo is very quiet and extremely clean. It’s a close walk to the beach or to the quaint town of Duck. We especially enjoyed the pool after a day at the beach. I enjoyed feeling the breeze of the ocean while relaxing at the pool. The owners thought of everything including beach chairs, towels, and umbrella just to name a few! I can’t recommend Zen enough!

We enjoyed our stay. Great place for a couple to get away and relax. Location is great, pretty much in the middle of town. You can walk to several eating spots and the beach. The swimming pool is excellent as well. The owners are very friendly and responsive. Would definitely recommend if you are visiting the area.

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.

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?!

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.
