How You Dune
J21058What’s new
Recent updates for the 2025 season include a kitchen pantry!
Welcome to How You Dune – your home away from home on the Outer Banks. This semi-oceanfront, pet-friendly retreat in the heart of Whalehead Beach is designed for comfort, connection, and coastal charm. With 9 bedrooms—including seven master suites with private, attached bathrooms—this home offers the privacy and ease that large groups and multi-family vacations truly appreciate.
From the moment you arrive, we want you to feel like this is your beach house—not just a place you stay, but a place you belong. The home is bright and beachy, with soothing white interiors, nautical blue accents, and room for everyone to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories.
The top floor welcomes you with open-concept living areas perfect for gathering. The spacious, fully equipped kitchen includes two refrigerators, two dishwashers, and dual islands for easy meal prep and casual seating. Dine together as a group, then settle into the great room, catch a movie in the private theater, or take your morning coffee out on the deck to watch the sunrise. An elevator makes unpacking and grocery runs a breeze.
On the mid-level, five master suites provide comfort and privacy, while a newly updated theater room—with theater-style seating, a 75-inch screen, and surround sound—is a hit for movie nights and video games. The lower level includes another master bedroom, two additional bedrooms (including the bunk room), a shared full bath, and a fun-filled rec room with a pool table and extra fridge.
Outdoors, soak up the sunshine by the large 14x30 pool with a separate shallow section for kids, or unwind in the hot tub. The cabana, wet bar, and two outdoor showers make beach days easy. For extra fun, challenge your crew to a game on the lighted sand volleyball court.
Whether it’s your first visit or your family tradition, How You Dune is more than just a vacation home—it’s a space to feel at home, laugh a little louder, and leave with sand in your shoes and memories in your heart.
