Bonjour!
The French/American owners of Les Dunes welcome you with warm Southern hospitality and exclusive privacy to their unique coastal estate. At Les Dunes, families have the ability to spread out between two residences in order to enjoy the space which they deserve.

"Beautiful"
"Our family has been renting houses in the Outer Banks for over 30 years and Les Dunes is in a class by itself. From the moment we arrived and during our stay, the Twitty representative (Cathy), provided prompt, courteous, and professional service. Cathy greeted us when we arrived and provided a tour highlighting all the features and amenities Les Dunes offers - very helpful given the many features of the home. The home offers a magical setting with the most private, lushly landscaped site in the Duck or Corolla area. The home (actually two homes) is impressive in scale and quality, offering every amenity needed for a perfect vacation. While our family has vacationed in bigger and newer homes in the area, none of those homes offers the combination of privacy, amenities, and quality that Les Dunes offers. We will return!"
"Privacy and location. Well appointed kitchen."
"Home away from home"
"The most special property on OBX. Comfortable and quietly elegant you can enjoy all nature has to offer without the crowds."
"Les Dunes is an OBX dream come true! After 20+ years of staying in many different homes, we can't imagine finding one better - beautiful, private setting, upscale elegant decor, well equipped kitchens and the widow's walk!"
"Have been vacationing in OBX, in Duck and Corolla for decades. The Les Dunes was amazing. I was somewhat concerned because pics can be deceiving, this has been true before when houses are a bit older. Let me tell you Les Dunes is a beautiful home, very inviting, very functional and very well kept up. This place was furnished beyond anything I had experienced before. All of the rooms were were large and spacious. Large and spacious grounds were beautiful and maintained. The guest house was also just amazing. Screened in areas and the views are spectacular. Definitely would recommend. The wildlife in this small area was a treat to young and old."
"Quiet, beautiful property, beautiful home, clean, and great location."
"Resort-like landscaping and facilities."
