⭐️New Listing⭐Pool opens mid Apr, HOA Pkg Pass, Dogs ✔️, Beach Chairs🌊☀️🐬

We've spent the offseason painting the interior, the decks, and adding all new furniture for your Outer Banks vacation! Nestled among gorgeous Live Oaks, our home is centrally located to everything you need for the perfect Outer Banks vacation! Amenities include a private pool as well as 2 private beach access areas located just minutes away. Our beautifully constructed 3 bedroom home has been recently renovated to be fresh and ready for you! Last year we painted the exterior, remodeled the kitchen and master bath, and added new carpet, refrigerator, stove, washer/dryer, and new decking to be sure you feel like you’re at your home away from home.

Your daily stresses will be washed away with the sound and the ocean close by. Our home is a bright and airy 3 bedroom, 3 bath haven. Dry entry brings you upstairs to the first level, where you will find a King ensuite bedroom, new kitchen, living area with a TV with cable, half bath, laundry, and 3 sets of French doors to access the expansive deck overlooking the pool. The King bedroom is roomy with an adjoining, remodeled full bath. Make yourself at home in our beautiful new kitchen, stocked with everything to please the chefs in your group. Our fully equipped open kitchen joins the dining and living areas. Included are dishes, cookware, pots, pans, cutlery, barware, and glassware for your every culinary need. Appliances include a blender, Keurig and standard coffee maker, microwave, dishwasher, new range/oven, and new refrigerator/freezer with ice maker and filtered water. A spacious dining table leaves room for everyone in your party. Cathedral ceilings in the living area brings even more natural light into this cozy space. Did we mention new furnishings? We also added a new game table to complement the space. We tried to think of everything to make your get away the ultimate in rest and relaxation!

Down the hall you will find the laundry room with large capacity washer and dryer for your convenience. The half bath is conveniently located just beyond the laundry space. Upstairs, you will find a loft sitting area to curl up with a good book. A full bathroom with tub/shower combination is shared by the two bedrooms on this upper level. The Queen bedroom is quiet and cozy, while the Twin bedroom offers 2 single beds for your group.

Let’s talk about outdoor living! The new deck overlooking the pool area is sunny and bright, with tons of space to enjoy your morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail. Downstairs is a huge pool area, perfect for those days when you want a break from the beach. We’ve also added a new bar area downstairs in the shade of the deck for an additional spot to enjoy drinks and conversation.

Our romantic home is a perfect choice for vacationers with its proximity to shopping, restaurants, arts, sightseeing, boating, fishing, golfing, tennis, bird watching, jet skiing, surfing, kite boarding & eco tours! The beds are all freshly made for your arrival. Everything you need, right here in paradise!

Just Right
We had a great time staying at “About Dune Time.” The house was clean and had all the amenities we needed for a week at the beach. The location was convenient to Kitty Hawk and the Duck areas.

Great Property
Great house for our group of 2 adult couples. House was clean and roomy, pool area was great. House is 2.3 miles from downtown Duck, easy to get to most of the time. Duck Rd is very busy and the sidewalk/bike trail is across the street, have to be very careful crossing. That’s the only drawback. Having a green light bulb in the front lamp was a genius move, making it easy to see the driveway when coming back at night. Would definitely stay there again!

Great rental for a family!
This house had a great set-up for a small family, and we enjoyed the added benefit of having the pool for a quick dip in the afternoons if we didn’t feel like going to the beach.

Clean and comfortable!
We stayed for a week and had a lovely time! It was the cleanest rental we’ve stayed in, and it provided plenty of space for 5 adults. It is on the main road so turning out of the driveway could be tricky at the busier times of day. The beach access with the provided HOA parking pass wasn’t crowded and has port-a-potties, trash/recycling bins, and showers to wash your feet off. The only downside to the house was that there isn’t much green space to roam if you choose to bring your pet. We would definitely visit again!

Beautiful Home, Close to the beach and Duck!
Wonderful week long stay. The house was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the pool and walked daily to the beach. We enjoyed being close to both the beach, Duck and the amenities. The only downside is the location on a busy road, although you can't hear the traffic noise when inside the house. The owners were extremely attentive and responsive when we had a question or concern. I wound definitely rebook and recommend to those looking for a place to stay in OBX.

Loved this place!
This place was perfect for our little family for the week! My husband, two daughters (3 and 1) and I loved the privacy, proximity, and amenities of this home. The owner Areca was more than helpful with getting us checked in and answering questions in a timely manner. Property was VERY clean and well stocked. Pool was an added bonus! Would definitely recommend this property and would definitely stay here again!

Incredibly Relaxing
The house was lovely! And the pool allowed us to relax and enjoy time together beyond the beach! We never thought of having a pool at the beach, but it made our time together even better! I don’t know how you can make it more obvious to your customers, but the folks before us must have missed putting trash out on Friday - there were 3 full trash bins when we arrived. No problem - my son put them out for Monday pick-up, but don’t think that anyone could have accumulated that much trash in 2 days! Thanks so much for making your home available. We would love to come back in the future!

Friends vacation with two dogs
We had a great time at the outer banks. This location is about two blocks from the beach. It comes with chairs and a wagon to bring what is needed to the beach and back. Our dogs really enjoyed staying here. The pool was nice. The kitchen was adequate for cooking and we had the firehouse boil company come and cook for use one night which was wonderful. The owner/management was responsive and kind. Would recommend staying here to others!

Great week at fabulous house!
We had a fantastic week staying at "About Dune Time"- this beautiful home was immaculately clean, fully stocked with supplies & had all of the amenities we could ask for! Our favorite area to hang out was the back deck & pool area! Areca was warm, welcoming & quick to answer any questions we had. We highly recommend "About Dune Time" & hope to return next summer!

Perfect vacation
The property exceeded all expectations. Exemplary cleanliness, coupled with first rate amenities and features made this vacation an absolute joy. The house was perfect and everything just worked. Contact with the host was easy, pleasant and appropriate. Local information was readily available and the beach was an easy, short walk with the beautiful town of Duck a 5 minute drive away. The saltwater pool was fantastic (even in early April....brrrr!). This property is a gem!
