The Ultimate Dune is just what you're looking for. It's an oceanfront bungalow on the wide side of the island with tons of space for your friends and family. Dune features its own private beachfront deck with a boardwalk down to the beach.

HI, WE'RE NEW HERE
The home was purchased in the winter of 2021 and the new owners have been busy making upgrades to take it from a duplex to a massive single-family home with crisp new paint and furnishings to give the overall aesthetic a fresh new look. Be on the lookout for more changes as we go or follow us on Instagram: @theultimatedune

LIVING SPACES
Since Dune was a duplex in the past, there are two living rooms. Each one has intelligent TVs equipped with Roku and Chromecast, respectively, for streaming your favorite content. There's a PS4 and a Wii with games for rainy days too. Each side of the home also has a dining space for morning coffee, family feasts, and game nights. There is only one kitchen now. Dune is a comfortable mix of midcentury pieces and up-cycled beachy furnishings. 'Ultimately' we tried to give this one-level home 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 modest ensuite bathroom, and TV
2. West double: two twin beds
3. West king: one king bed, no TV (for who prefer a peaceful room)
4. East queen suite: one queen bed, huge ensuite bathroom, and TV
5. East king: one king bed and TV
There are two full bathrooms with tubs and showers in the halls - one on each side, east and west.

KITCHEN
The kitchen is outfitted with the usual suspects - stainless steel pots and pans, nonstick pans, silverware, knives, blender, Kitchen Aid stand mixer pro, two drip coffee makers, French press, electric flat top griddle, tupperware, drink ware, silverware, 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 eateries, grocery stores (Publix and Food Lion), and the Emerald Isle bridge. The Bogue Inlet Pier and Surf's Up Grille is less than a mile away by way of the beach.

Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
