The ultimate OCEANFRONT bungalow close to everything
**Summer rentals require a seven night minimum, those bookings are Sunday to Sunday. Fall and winter stays require a three night minimum.**
The Ultimate Dune is just what you're looking for. It's an oceanfront cottage on the wide side of the island with lots of space for your friends and family. Dune boasts its own private beachfront deck with a boardwalk down to the beach. The home came under new ownership in 2021 and has undergone lots of upgrades since then.
LIVING SPACES Since Dune was a duplex in the past, there are two living rooms. Each one has smart TVs equipped with Roku for streaming your favorite content. There's a PS4 and a Wii with games for rainy days too. Each side of the house also has a dining space for morning coffee, family feasts, and game nights. There is only one kitchen now and you have full access to both sides during your stay. You won't have to share with any other parties. Dune has a cozy mix of midcentury pieces and up-cycled beachy furniture. 'Ultimately' we tried to give this one-level house a modern take on a late 60s surf shack.
BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS There are five bedrooms, each with their own unique styling: 1. West queen suite: one queen, a small ensuite bathroom with small shower, and TV 2. West double: a twin bed and pullout trundle and no TV 3. West king: one king bed, funky plant wallpaper, and TV 4. East queen suite: one queen bed, large ensuite bathroom with a small shower, and TV 5. East king: one king bed and TV There is one full bathroom with a tub for kids on the west side and another full bathroom with a walk in shower on the east side hallway.
KITCHEN The kitchen is stocked with the usual suspects - stainless steel pots and pans, nonstick pans, silverware, knives, Vitamix blender, Kitchen Aid stand mixer pro, two drip coffee makers, French press, electric water kettle, electric flat top griddle, tupperware, drink ware, utensils, sippy cups, infant spoons, and more. The pantry has a collection of herbs and spices for your dinners in.
LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION You're just a short trip away from restaurants, grocery stores (Publix and Food Lion), and the Emerald Isle bridge. The Bogue Inlet Pier and Surf's Up Grill are less than a mile away by way of the beach.
LINENS Clean linens provided by a local company and are included for your stay (sheets, pillowcases, light quilts, towels, bathmats, and kitchen towels). All you need are your beach towels. And clothes. Don't forget clothes.
FOR THE KIDS We've got a highchair, Baby Bjorn travel bed, baby monitor camera, and eating essentials if you're bringing a small child. You'll need to bring a mattress cover for the travel bed.
BEACH EQUIPMENT For your convenience, we provide our guests with beach chairs (there are at least six), beach toys, a 52-quart Igloo cooIer that can hold 80 cans, and a Shibumi shade (check them out online!).
