We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dunesbury. The check-in process was extremely smooth and efficient. The beds were very comfortable, and the house felt cozy. It was conveniently located with easy access to the beach. Would highly recommend
While a bit dated the property was perfect for our needs and very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the week and will seriously consider staying at this property again.
We spent 3 weeks in the Dunesbury rental this April and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Excellent location - beach, stores, walking paths all close. Pup friendly, well supplied kitchen, great response time, and comfortable.
We had a great time at Dunesbury. The house was clean and right on the beach. The location was perfect and there were many hikes near by which were perfect for birders!
We loved the proximity to the beach. Great for our young children. The view from the top balcony of the ocean is fantastic. Loved hearing the waves crashing!
We loved the old school vibe. The deck, upstairs balcony and screen porch were great outdoor spaces. Access to the beach was close and easy and having Harris Teeter close by was a bonus. The 4 bedrooms and 2 baths were just right for our family. We also enjoyed looking at books in the property about history of the Outer Banks.
Dunesbury was the perfect spot to experience Corolla for the first time. Gorgeous sunrises greeted us every morning as we relaxed on our beachfront porch. The retro decor was delightful and there was more than enough room for plenty of family and friends. We will be back!
We enjoyed our beach trip. It was nice being so close to the pathway to the beach and that we could have our dog with us. It is an older rustic home that was clean and supplied with all our needs. I loved seeing the picture of the house on the wall from the 70s and wished there had been a book with the history.
Even though the property is dated, it is clean and spacious. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Minor issues were immediately attended to. Everyone had a wonderful time... Ceiling fan issues should probably be tended to before hot weather. Thanks for a great time
We loved the house. It's an old property, but very comfortable. It was a lot of house for two people, but it was one of those things. Who did we want to spend a week with. Turned out to be no one. And that was just fine. I have been under a lot of stress since December and this was exactly what I needed. It take a bit to figure out the switches and thermostats, etc. But its just a cool comfortable house. I want to go back next year.
The house was in great condition with plenty of dishware and cooking implements. The location is amazing, right on the beach at an access point that seems more chill than other parts of the outer banks. We were always able to get a spot on the beach easily! The downstairs queen room is the coolest temperature-wise but the upstairs rooms were still fine, just a little warmer. The host was communicative and upfront about amenities. Would definitely stay again!
This property is rustic OBX and oh so charming. You are as close to the beach as possible and the home is so comfortable. The top floor balcony is particularly lovely. We will be back!
Communication was clear and easy. House was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our time there!

The visit
The property was good, however, there were several problems. The bathtubs were dangerous. They were so slippery that they were fall hazards. The stairway to the second floor had poor handrails and I got three splinters trying to get up and down. The front windows in the living room were so dirty that we had to buy Windex and clean them ourselves. We found that unacceptable.
Location was perfect! Had a great time. Saw a huge buck and lots of bunnies. House was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed! This private beach is super dog friendly too!!! Loved it
