How You Dune will have you and your family feeling relaxed and rejuvenated! This pet-friendly semi-oceanfront home in the Whalehead Beach community offers a prime location near Corolla attractions including shops, restaurants, and activities. The beach access lies just steps from the home, making it easy to make your way to the shore. At the home itself, you can take advantage of features like a large 14x30 private pool with a shallow area for kids, hot tub, outdoor cabana, elevator, theater room, rec room and much more.


The top level of the home welcomes you with bright, open and comfortable common areas. An elevator makes unpacking and unloading groceries a breeze. Preparing meals for a large group is an easy task in the large, well-stocked kitchen. Two islands offer plenty of counter space and additional bar seating. Enjoy meals together as a group in the spacious dining areas. After dinner, lounge together in the great room, watch a movie or play games in the theater room. Step out onto the deck in the morning to enjoy your coffee and watch the sunrise and at night for cocktails while listening to the ocean sounds. The third floor also houses a half bath and a king master bedroom with attached bath. On the mid-level, five additional master bedrooms provide plenty of space and privacy for multi-family vacations. A newly renovated theater room is also on the mid-level which features theater style seating, surround sound stereo and a 75 inch screen - great for movies and video games. A recreation room with pool table gives the group another fun place to enjoy each others company--and some friendly competition! The first floor features an additional master plus two additional bedrooms and a full bath. Gather in the open den and easily access drinks and snacks in the wet bar complete with full-sized refrigerator. From here, step outside to enjoy everything the exterior of the home has to offer.


Spend sunny days lounging poolside or under the shaded cabana while little ones splash in the convenient shallow area. Enjoy a refreshing outdoor shower in one of two ceramic tile showers. A poolside hot tub is the perfect place to unwind in the evening and take in the beautiful OBX night sky. Enjoy frozen drinks at the outdoor bar under the tiki lights at night. Just outside of the pool gate lies a large lawn with a sand volleyball court for more family fun.


Visit How You Dune for your next Corolla vacation and return home with memories to last a lifetime! You’ll be doing just fine after your stay at this impressive amenity-rich retreat!

"How You Dune was the perfect spot for our family reunion. We loved the close proximity to the beach, the built in pool, and the theater room. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked, making meal prep super easy! We loved sitting on the front deck at night listening to the ocean and lounging by the pool after the beach. The kids loved the shallow pool and many games of pool were played! The rooms were spacious and there were plenty of bathrooms to accommodate us. For many of us, this was our first trip to obx and we are already talking about returning!"

Jessica   ·  Stayed May 2024

"The house was the perfect size and layout for our group. The elevator made it easy to send luggage to the top floor (and also help as relatives grew tired by the end of the week!) We loved that there was grass for our 2 dogs and a spacious driveway. The proximity to the beach was also perfect for us"

Sherry   ·  Stayed September 2023

"The movie theater and pool table were a big hit for everyone. We liked the large kitchen and even had a cook-off with three cooks . Plenty of room . The oven /stove could be updated as well as some of the pans we had to work with ."

Jennifer   ·  Stayed August 2023

"The house was fantastic. Everything we needed and more. Cake from homeowners was so thoughtful and delicious. The couple of extremely minor issues we had Twiddy addressed immediately and were very nice while doing it! Everyone in our group can't stop raving about the house."

Erin   ·  Stayed June 2023

"Beautiful home. We loved the number of bedrooms and how everyone had their own bathroom. The outside pool and volleyball area were wonderful. Wish the pool had a heater because it was pretty cold but we made the best of it. The home was very clean and had a well stocked kitchen."

"We absolutely loved the pool as it was large enough for all adults and the attached baby pool was just perfect for our 2 and 4 year old grandsons! Appreciated all the kitchen utensils and serving items - we really didn’t need anything else!! Enjoyed the outdoor Bluetooth speakers - so easy to connect."

Jill   ·  Stayed May 2022

"This house was perfect. It offered plenty of space, activities and the location to the beach was wonderful. We spent lots of time at the pool/cabana, played sand volleyball, used the hot tub and watched several movies in the theater room. This is one of the best houses we have stayed in!"

Ashley   ·  Stayed May 2022

"The home was beautiful and the pool area was absolutely perfect for our large group to be able to spend time together. It was great having a shady spot to take a break from the sun under the shaded cabana. The theater room was a nice bonus as we had two days of rainy weather. I honestly cannot say enough good things about the home!!"

Sandra   ·  Stayed May 2022

"Beautiful home, weather was not great but there was so much to do inside. Wonderful view of the ocean, definitely would love to repeat this trip. My family had a great time. OBX is beautiful area."
