Sound‑front 3BR condo: pool, decks & family fun

Fantastic Condo with Views of Roanoke Sound
This gorgeous, sound-front condo in The Landings at Sugar Creek community features stunning decor, incredible views of the Roanoke Sound, and an assortment of amenities for your family to enjoy during your escape to this barrier island paradise. Enjoy this beautiful unit's tasteful interior before taking advantage of the unbeatable community amenities including a Community Pool* and a Deck that is ideal for fishing, crabbing, or watersports. When you choose to spend your next Outer Banks vacation at Gracen's Sweet Retreat, you'll find yourself in a cozy coastal condo directly in the center of it all!

This Single Level, 2nd-Floor Unit offers everything you need to begin your ultimate Outer Banks vacation. Enjoy plentiful parking downstairs before heading up to your cozy, comfortable unit. If you'd rather do a little exploring first, be sure to take a dip in the Sound Front Community Pool* or meander down the Community Boardwalk where you can easily enjoy a beautiful sunset over the sound after a day of fun on the Outer Banks. Step into your unit through the main entrance where you'll immediately see a beautiful Living Area with gorgeous, beach-themed furniture and a Flat Screen TV that is sure to give you countless hours of fun and entertainment. Whip up something delicious in the nearby Kitchen with modern appliances and every tool you'll need to make an impressive seafood feast for the whole family to enjoy. Eat together at the Counter Bar or step on over to the open-concept Dining Area for convenient, cozy meals together. Take your morning cup of coffee out onto the Deck where you can enjoy easy, breezy al fresco dining and fantastic views of the water.

Back inside, freshen up in the Hallway Half-Bathroom and toss those sandy beach towels into the conveniently located Washer and Dryer by the front door. Enjoy the well-earned comforts of the Queen Master Bedroom when you're ready to retire with a Flat Screen TV, access to the Deck, and a Private Bathroom with a walk-in shower. For even more space, choose from one of the 2 Queen Bedrooms with shared access to a Jack-N-Jill Bathroom between them, ensuring quick and easy access throughout the week, each with its own TV. Located along the picturesque shoreline of the Roanoke Sound in the Whalebone Junction district of Nags Head—and just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean and an array of local restaurants, shops, and amenities—Gracen's Sweet Retreat truly offers sound front living at its finest.

Enjoy Beautiful Nags Head
When you're ready to visit the beautiful Nags Head beaches for an afternoon of fun in the sun, hop in the car and head half a mile down the road to the Gulfstream St. Public Beach Access, where you'll find a public beach access with plenty of free parking, an in-season lifeguard station and a wooden walkway leading over the dunes to the wide stretch of sand that awaits you. Gracen's Sweet Retreat is also conveniently located just minutes from Jennette's Pier—a popular Outer Banks attraction that offers something for everyone in the family to enjoy during your week at the beach. Just a two-minute drive from this charming condo on the sound, Jennette's Pier extends 1,000 feet into the ocean and features several aquariums and interactive exhibits, a full-service tackle shop, youth adventure camps, and world-class fishing opportunities, as well as a snack shop, bathhouse, in-season lifeguard station and direct access to the seashore. Once you've worked up an appetite after a day spent surfing, kayaking, fishing, or searching for seashells, stop into Whalebone Seafood Market—located directly across the street from Gracen's Sweet Retreat—to pick up some fresh local seafood. If you'd rather someone else cook, try Sam & Omie's for breakfast, grab lunch at Miller's Waterfront, and for dinner, enjoy Sugar Creek Seafood complete with gorgeous sound views!

Beach Access: 0.5 Miles/2-Minute Drive to Gulfstream St. Public Beach Access

This condo is a well maintained, nicely furnished home with a very nicely equipped kitchen. The complex is also well maintained as is the community pool. The location offers easy access to shopping as well as both local beaches and the National Seashore beaches on the northern end of OBX.

We enjoyed the condo. It was very clean with all the amenities. It was close to everything easy access to both roads. We enjoy the sunsets, especially in the sun rises. We would not hesitate to rent this again.

Lack of communication with rental office

First off, this location was difficult to locate. We were given a 15 minute "early check-in". Then we noticed that the refrigerator was not working and reported it on Saturday. We purchased groceries and refrigerator was still not working by Sunday. All of our groceries went bad. I called the rental office on Sunday and was given a run around. I called again on Monday and was informed that a new refrigerator was ordered and that we needed to be at the condo during the install. They did bring a cooler with ice but it was too late. I asked about being reimbursed for our groceries and I was told that management would need to approve. I have yet to hear back from management regarding our loss. We were informed that the office knew about the refrigerator not working the previous week. The condo is really nice but we are not pleased with the lack of communication with the rental office. Ruthie is the only one who assisted us and got us the answers we needed at the time. Also, we need to pay more attention to the check in and check out times. 5:00 PM is too late to report any thing that is wrong and check out at 9:00 AM is way too early. This was a rough start to a week of enjoyment.

Condo is well situated to explore the northern or the southern end of the Outer Banks. It is conveniently located with quick access to the beach and a quiet setting to watch the sunset (or the sunrise). Clean, well decorated and cozy.
