Driving in on the beach, we knew this trip would be different. The beach is beautiful, and it's actually easy to drive on the sand. The house is beautiful and very comfortable and stocked with almost everything you need. The owner was very helpful and communicative about what bait to use for fishing and what beach ramp to use for access. Hint: it's near the fire station. Overall, we felt very welcome. We were there only an hour or two and the horses made their appearance. Nearly everyday we saw horses near the property. They come right up to the house as advertised. Our weather wasn't the greatest, but this trip was truly an adventure we will not soon forget. It's one of the better places we've stayed, and we've been doing VRBO for about 7 years now.

This was truly an AMAZING EXPERIENCE. From the initial booking process to the time we returned home Michael and Michelle made are stay a memory we won't soon forget. From the wild horses, to the beach drives, outdoor and indoor activities, just relaxing at "The Dune" plus a whole lot more stamped thefactvthat we chose to stay there. We highly recommend this rental and we would rent again. They fully stocked the house and were timely if you ever needed to reach them. Michelle even helped on a personal matter. Thanks again for that. We ABSOLUTELY loved and enjoyed our stay. Thank you for allowing us the privilege to stay in your home.

What a wonderful relaxing stay! Everything about it was easy and wonderful just like you want a vacation to be. The house was fully equipped with everything you need! The rooms were bright and cheery and the Michelle and Mile are perfect hosts, thoughtful and helpful . The check in / check out process was easy. The water, the horses, the peace and quiet were simply the best. Even got several good workouts in walking through the sand :) my husband loved driving on the island and the beach. It was a perfect vacation.

We had a fantastic time at this house! Michelle is very thoughtful and the communication was amazing. She has thought of everything you might need for a vacation and the house was stocked for everything we needed! This was our first visit to NC, and also our first experience on the 4x4 beach. She settled all our worries and we had an awesome time! The house was very clean and organized, check-in and check-out was very smooth. Michelle was available to answer any of our questions and has great tips to get you through the 4x4 beach. We loved it and greatly recommend staying here!

Our first time in the 4x4 and we loved every minute! The house is exactly as pictured and it’s clear the owners put a ton of thought into how to make it feel like home even for renters who are borrowing the space, from the color and decor to the toys (cornhole, paddleboards, games!). We loved being far from anything commercial and taking morning drives to the beach. We saw many horses (at a distance of course) and only spent two half days out of eight in town. Lighthouse is a must, my first time back since being a little kid! There was truly no need to travel much and with our cooler in tow, it was easy to stock up on food before hitting the beach access road. My husband lovvvvvved getting to off-road in his truck. This was also an incredibly well stocked rental, from towels to kitchen items, grill with propane, water cooler, condiments etc. it really was like being at home, if only we were so lucky. :) I’d say this is not a fit for those looking to have a big party on the beach (goodness knows there’s plenty of properties like that) and a perfect fit for couples and families looking to enjoy peace, nature, quiet, and morning paddles / afternoon beach days. Plus that fire pit can’t be beat on calm evenings. As a bonus, host was a total delight to communicate with! I almost want to keep this place a secret, lol. Book and RELAX!

This property and its hosts, Michelle and Mike, were absolutely amazing! The hosts were extremely friendly, welcoming and informative with everything about the area and the 4x4 beach and sand driving experience. They were very patient with all our questions, especially as newbies to the area and sand driving- which went very smoothly without any issues. The house was spotless, very nicely decorated and had a new feel to it. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the kitchen amenities were top notch, literally everything you needed for a wonderful stay. The outside fire pit and dock were so great for relaxing and the outdoor shower was huge, clean with modern fixtures which was very refreshing after a hot Beach day. This property was everything and more for our family vacation and if you’re looking for a beautiful beach, nature and wildlife (the horses!!) experience then we highly recommend this property!

Our stay at “Dune what we do” was fantastic. The house was beautifully decorated and clean. It had everything you need to cook meals. By far the best stocked kitchen we’ve had at a VRBO! Michelle was very attentive and a great host. We made a lot of good memories during our stay. We fished, went kayaking in the sound, crabbed off the dock, and were true beach bums during our stay. The house tons of additional outdoor amenities too. My kids loved the paddle boards and outdoor shower! Given the chance we would stay here again!

From the moment we booked our vacation through our stay, Michelle was easy to reach and always accommodating. The home was neat, clean and perfectly appointed with any and everything you could need or want for a vacation in the 4X4 area. Kitchen was stocked with all the essentials, beds were super comfortable and the outdoor shower was perfect. All the amenities made a great, relaxing stay. If you want quiet breezy mornings and wild horse views on your way to the beach everyday, this is your place!
