I too was a little worried after reading the reviews but was quite happy with our room. My only complaint was that I needed a first floor room as my husband can't walk up the stairs and RCI contacted Barrier Island when making my reservation. I was told that I would get room 318 on the first floor. My husband... More

After reading several reviews of this place, we were pleasantly surprised. Don't be deterred by the front desk and the 70s customer service. Location is spectacular, beach is beautiful, and the maintenance staff, especially Justin, were friendly, helpful and among the highlights. Bring your own supplies or expect to buy them (i.e. kitchen, bath and laundry items), which isn't too... More

Thank you for your review. Our resort is 30 years old and it definitely shows. We are working to turn things around and appreciate your positive observations. Each time you come back to Barrier Island Station, Duck you will see more improvements; especially when we begin extensive renovations as resources become available. More

We were on the sound side of the resort in 103A. It's a two bedroom with just one bathroom. All the amenities were in working order and the deck had a great view to the sound. Would have been nice to have more than one bathroom, but we made due with one. The indoor pool was clean and heated. We... More

We had a 3rd floor condo in the 300 building. After the initial shock to the system of lugging all our stuff up 3 flights of stairs, it was worth it for the view. Our condo consisted of a living room, dining room, full kitchen, bedroom (with 2 twin beds) and full bath on the main floor, plus a balcony,... More

The location is great. We had 2 full bedrooms and 2 full baths on the third and fourth floors. The kitchen had full size appliances, the stove and dishwasher were older. The decor in the room is outdated, but we expected that. The indoor pool and hot tub was nice. The outdoor pool looked nice, but not yet open as... More

The location and size of the unit was very good. We had a 2 bedroom, 1 3/4 bath rental. Yes, there were lots of stairs as we were on the third floor and we had a 9 month old, but it was manageable. The unit is actually good size, it has a decent sized kitchen with a regular size stove,... More

Duck is a beautiful area. I went to Barrier Island Duck as part of a timeshare exchange. It is the worst timeshare I have ever stayed at and I have stayed at many. The location was great, although there was not much view, but there was a balcony. The timeshare is close to many sights (lighthouse at Corolla, Wright Brothers... More

Just home from a few days at this Duck resort. Without question, the worst unit we have ever stayed in anywhere in our travels. As we checked in late at night, security checked us in. The guard was rude and reeked of alcohol. We stayed in unit 318. The only positive comments are that the view was spectacular and the... More

Thank you for your review of our resort. We have used your concerns to initiate repairs to the unit to correct the deficiencies described. All employees must go through drug/alcohol testing and criminal background checks before they are hired. We also conduct random testing if warranted. We would like more details about your observations about the security guard that "... More
