About this property
Charming, Oceanfront Home w/Free WiFi, Private Hot Tub, W/D, and Shared Pool
New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.
Duneshine is a true gem. This polished rental home was designed with relaxation in mind! At ground level, find ample concrete parking, an outdoor shower, a beachfront grilling station, and a boardwalk to the beach. The first level features a cathedral ceiling bunk room with plenty of space for your crew. Three rooms have deck access, perfect to make your way to our six-person hot tub at the end of a day at the beach! The second level boasts a wonderful wood-lined great room with exposed beams and stunning ocean views. The spacious dining and kitchen areas share a beautifully tiled floor and are well equipped for culinary adventures. Off the kitchen, a south-facing screened porch is a wonderful location for early morning breakfasts. An elegant wooden spiral staircase leads you to this home's third-level loft bedroom, where a private deck offers unprecedented views of the Atlantic. Expansive decks on all three levels capitalize on the house's oceanfront location and allow for plenty of time relaxing or entertaining outside.

Hot tub unavailable for safety reasons. Thankfully, it was unseasonably warm, so I was able to walk the beach, in lieu of hot tub time. Cottage was clean. I had to secure all of the windows because they were not closed all of the way. I have been in many many Avon, NC rentals over the years and this was among the cleanest and coziest. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms for a family of 5-10.
Our family enjoyed our stay here. Very comfortable, well stocked with everything we needed. Perfect location. Easy access to the beach. We plan to stay again!

Great ocean front home
Very nice. Beautiful sunrise views. Walkway and stairs over the dunes make this very comfortable even for older people. Plenty of comfortable beds. Hot tub was awesome. Stovetop was dirty, but not a show stopper, and screened porch has two screens that are missing. Wasn't a problem for us but might make for a miserable time on the screened in porch once the mosquitos come out. Overall, a wonderful time at the beach.
Ocean view, especially the top sleeping area. Perfect setting for a relaxing stay with a walk to the shore any time you wanted to wet a line.

Nice enough for the area
It did have access to the beach, although the steps are quite a lot, especially when you have small children.

Incredible House!
We LOVED our stay at Duneshine! The house is adorable and very well equipped. The kitchen had everything we could ever need (we loved the tupperware supply!) and the library of books was a great addition. We had a lovely experience here!

Access to the beach was close. The lounge chairs outside were great. Lots of windows, the house could use some updates but overall we enjoyed our stay. The parking is a little tough for 4 trucks. We would stay here again.

Location location location! Can't beat the ocean views.
Duneshine was a perfect fit for our 2 family vacation. 4 adults and 7 kids slept comfortably. For a Beachfront property,the price was extremely reasonable. Needs a new grill, basketball hoop and updated decor. We were worried about not having a private pool, but club Hatteras was great!
House could use some TLC but was fine for a fall fishing trip!

Duneshine-Sunshine
We loved our 3 days here! Very comfortable. Beautiful views. Comfortable beds. Well stocked kitchen as far as cooking wares. No spices were available.
Only regret was our time was too short.
Easy check in & checkout.

Awesome Location and House
The house was in a great location, convenient to everything! The house is very spacious and the decks are amazing. It is a very short walk to the beach. The kitchen could use some updates but all appliances worked. We did have some issues with the plaster on the ceiling but someone came out quickly to check it. I would definitely stay here again!

Panoramic Ocean Views
My husband and I greatly enjoyed our stay in this property! The views were incredible and the location was conveniently located to restaurants & grocery stores. We pointed out some maintenance issues to Hatteras Realty and they quickly sent someone over to review them while we were there.
This house will definately be on our "short list" for return visits!

First OBX trip
It was pricey for basically 3 full days. The property was dated and cleanliness was fair. We found pills from previous people I assume. One dish towel in kitchen and we cooked a lot so hard to use same one. Had to wash bath towels daily as well. The house was cozy and we did enjoy being right on the beach.

Overall, very satisfied
House is in a great location, reasonably priced, amenities are sufficient, the layout made it easy to find some privacy even with others in the house, kitchen was well stocked, beds were very comfortable, everything you need is within a 3 minute drive, and I would certainly consider staying here again. However, all is not perfect here.... Some mild upgrades, like new carpet and screen doors, blinds that work properly, and a thorough cleaning would greatly enhance this location. That said, we DID enjoy our stay.

Beyond perfection.
I've been vacationing at the Outer Banks for over 20 years, 10 of those in Avon. Duneshine exceeded my expectations and was by far the best home I have stayed in. Duneshine is a beautiful home with a lovely open living/kitchen area. The ocean is clearly seen on all levels. Four bedrooms and the living/kitchen areas are off the decks with breathtaking views of the ocean and dunes. Very easy walk to the beach. The kitchen is well-stocked. Comfortable beds and furniture. I didn't give it 5 stars because the kitchen could be a little cleaner (floor and cabinets drawers.)
I would stay at Duneshine again without any hesitation. We had a marvelous vacation!

The house was in need of updating and repair.
The tubs drained slowly or not at all. Not all of the eyes of the stove worked properly. There was a leak from the outside into the main living area on the second floor. It also had cockroaches.
