Private Pool, Near Beach, Ocean Views, Outdoor Kitchen, Arcade Games, Dog Friendly w/Fence

Welcome to Dunetinnes, your ultimate coastal getaway just steps from the beach! This spacious, newly updated single-family home offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and fun for the whole family—including your furry friends.


Step outside to a private backyard oasis featuring a private pool, expansive outdoor kitchen with a large grill and prep space, and plenty of seating for family meals al fresco. Whether you're dining under the covered patio, relaxing on the deck with ocean views, or soaking up the sun poolside, the fenced outdoor living space is a true highlight.


Inside, you’ll find new floors, fresh paint, and furnishings throughout. The open-concept main living area boasts vaulted ceilings and combines the kitchen, dining, and living room into one spacious hub—perfect for gathering and unwinding. The fully equipped kitchen offers ample space and everything you need to whip up delicious meals.


This home comfortably sleeps the whole crew with two large owner suites for added privacy and a fun kids’ room with a full-over-full bunk bed and twin trundle. The ground-level bonus room features arcade games for hours of indoor entertainment after a day in the sun.


Beach access is directly across the street, and beach chairs, toys, and a wagon are provided—no need to pack extras! After the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower and enjoy a sunset cocktail from the deck as the ocean breeze rolls in.


Just a 10-minute walk to Fort Fisher State Historic Site and a short drive to shops, restaurants, and attractions, Dunetinnes is the perfect home base for your next beach vacation.


Fresh linens, bath towels, and bed-making service are included in the cleaning fee—no surprise charges!

Great vacation rental

We thoroughly enjoyed our week here. Having a pool was great and being able to bring our dogs with a fenced area and dedicated space for them really made it perfect for us. The house is an easy walk to the beach and everything we needed was provided. I found the iTrips staff to be extremely receptive, answering any questions I had within minutes of texting them and they quickly resolved the one minor issue we had. They repeatedly offered to assist with any further needs we had, which wasn’t necessary. We would definitely consider renting again here or at other iTrip properties.

Ultimate Getaway!

This home was the ultimate getaway! The location was fantastic—just a short trip to the beach and the aquarium. It was spacious, comfortable, we could even bring our dog, which was a huge plus for us! The property was very clean. We had an amazing time and we want to book another stay for when the weather is warmer and we can use the pool!

Great Family Vacation

Our stay at Dunetinnes was amazing! The house was beautiful and cozy and in a perfect location. We were amazed at the array of amenities included with our stay, the pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen with a grill and fire pit table, games, books, and so much more! We will definitely stay at Dunetinnes again!

First and last visit

I’ll be brief: it’s gross. Cockroaches in the bathrooms, standing water in the shower, flies that bite you by the pool. Sand in the sheets joins arrival, dirty pool, cardboard on the floor. Grill area is run down. Just not well loved. Not worth the money and absolutely won’t be staying with ITrip again.

Good but could be better

Location was great! The house was nice! Short walk to the beach and Ft. Fisher museum. The house had too much "technology". Ceiling fans and light with remotes. Some didn't work. TVs had too many choices for streaming. Some were Roku and some Apple TV, couldn't get some to stream channels correctly. Took a while to find what switches turned different lights on and off, never found the switch for ine set of lights in the living room. One closet light came on at random times. Pool lights didn't work, so no night swimming unless you turned on the suoer bright floodlights. Grill didn't half work. The smaller grill was falling apart. Junk and "trash" lying around the pool area. Old deflated floatie things just thrown over in the corner. Old blue tarp covering something. Bucket full of water attracting mosquitoes. Old box spring lying against the fence. Fence lock on the outside of the fence, had to reach around to open it. Expected more for as much as we paid. We loved the house and the location but all the inconveniences were a little much.

Pool Patio = Outdoor Family Fun for everyone

My family had a great week at Dunetinnes last week. It was our first time booking through iTrip and our first time at this property. We were surprised at how many amenities this property had and how well-stocked everything was. We have been going to Kure Beach for 18 years and I can honestly say, this house had the most family friendly vibe. In our family we have parents in their 70s and the shaded outdoor space allowed them to enjoy the pool and outdoor fun while being shaded and cool. We were SO SHOCKED at the outdoor TV and fire pit table. I'm sure all this was in the description, but we were blown away when we arrived. ____Positives:__1. Outdoor spaces: front porch and back area were amazing! The fact that everything worked was a pleasant surprise. Most beach rentals have something broken that we learn to live with.__2. Over stocked kitchen! Plenty of plates, cups, mugs, silverware and bakeware -- more than anyone could possibly need.__3. Beds were already made and bathrooms came stocked with toilet paper and hand soap.__4. Kitchen welcome basket with paper towels, dish cloths, soap and scrubbers was AWESOME.__5. Beds were comfortable.__6. Beach towels provided!!!!!!! and good quality too. Even the bath towels were nice.__7. Tons of pool floats and patio chairs/loungers.__8. Lots of TVs!__9. The entertainment area in the basement was neat.__10. Hangers were left in the closets.

A great time

My family and I had a great stay, the house was clean and an easy walk to the beach. We brought our 1 year old and our dog, and they both had a great time on their first trip to the beach. I will say though, the stairs inside are a little steep, my dog was afraid to use them, but she was a pro by the end of our stay. We also brought our own baby gates, but we only had to use one on the porch outside. It's a great house in a great spot, it's close to the Fort Fisher museum and aquarium. I definitely recommend staying here, and can't wait to come back!

This house had everything we needed for a perfect getaway! The layout was great for our group, giving everyone space to relax. The home was clean, and iTrip was very accommodating throughout our stay. We loved exploring the area—between the beach, the aquarium, and local spots, there was so much to do. We’ll definitely be back!

Fun family retreat

We really loved the proximity to the beach access path and the beach. It was a bonus to be able to see the ocean from the front porch. It was great to have our own pool. The children spent many hours in there. We appreciated the pool towels. Especially liked the floor plan of the kitchen and living room. Very open and family friendly. We did all of our eating there and never went out. Parking is good. We were 6 adults and 4 children and it was just the right amount of room with plenty of bathrooms. Great communication with the property owner.

Not what it’s made out to be

The house was filthy, with mold growing in shower curtains and lipstick stains on most glasses in the cabinet. The rental agency reminded us at every turn that they were a “family run business,” which seemed to be their excuse for anything from over-charging for pet fees beyond what was listed, missing items in the house, the level of filth, and the non-working arcade game supposedly being for “decorative purposes only.” The house does not have arcade games. It has one. Bugs came out everywhere and the rental agency tried to frame that as normal by putting a sign on the refrigerator that cockroaches were ok. This house is not worth the price and the rental agency, who offers gift card bribes for positive reviews, only made it worse. Their emails were long, confusing, and most often not tailored to the amenities of a specific property, which required follow up on renter’s part to clarify. Writing clear, property specific emails, having attention to detail, cleaning the house, and adjusting the listing to accurately reflect the property features instead of what the property aspires to be would be important improvements.

The Perfect Getaway

We needed a little getaway this winter and this house was perfect. This is by far, our favorite rental in Carolina Beach. We've stayed at many rentals in the past and this one provided way more than we are used to, which we loved. The location was great and the house itself was clean and well equipped. We will be back!!
