We loved our stay at Golden Dunes! My husband and I came down for an event he was attending and we happened to be taking care of my parents dogs while we came down. Finding a place that would even accommodate more than 1 dog was hard. Golden Dunes was not only accommodating but welcoming to us and our pups and I am so appreciative for that. On top of having our pups there, the pool and hot tub were incredible, and you can hear the ocean waves from the hot tub :) We can’t wait to visit again! Thank you!

“Best vacation ever”
We had an amazing vacation and loved Golden Dunes, including the hot tub and pool. I spent many evening hours reading in the hammock. We loved the estuary and walking to the 4×4 beach. Corolla Park has the best sunset views! We had amazing meals out and loved the bagels supplied compliments of Vicki (owner of Golden Dunes). The cute shops in Corolla and the short drive to Duck made for some interesting finds! We'll be back next year.

This was our family’s first AirBNB experience and our stay with Vicki as our host far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we booked to the time we checked out Vicki always responded very fast to our inquiries and she was also very proactive when it came to our needs. The house was clean and very comfortable…..just like home! The kitchen had everything we needed and was perfectly situated to be able to enjoy the morning sunrise while preparing breakfast for the family. When I booked I was fully aware that the home was pet friendly. Other than the present dog bowls available for our furry friends, there were no signs of any previous furry guests :). The pool was extremely clean too and my boys loved it! The only thing that was different for me was having to make our own bed using the provided linens. I was too tired for that after a 5 hour drive. Other than that, I am grateful that I chose Vicki’s beautiful home to enjoy the beautiful and breathtaking Corolla with my family!

Great get away, from everyday routine and to enjoy a peaceful weekend. Love the privacy and real close to the 4WD beaches. The house itself a beautiful home from a corner reading area with its own balcony, to the kitchen with an outdoor sitting area and with a jacuzzi. Can’t get better than that. And above all, kids friendly and a family friendly environment. Love!!

We had a beautiful stay at Golden Dunes! The top and middle deck had an ocean view, and it was wonderful to relax in the hot tub, or read (and nap!) in the hammock. The sparkling clean pool allowed us to cool off when the beach had a rip tide warning (and had fun floats). The beach was a close<10 minute walk and gorgeous! The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and we enjoyed the screen porch for meals. We biked around town and to the Lighthouse and used the tennis courts too! The house was clean and cozy with special nooks for reading, and the beds were very comfortable! Oh and we can’t forget that it was dog friendly! Allowing us to take our special guy on this special trip. Thank you for a Great stay!!

We had a wonderful family vacation at the Golden Dunes. Vicki is an excellent host providing clear and helpful communication. The location of the house is a short drive to the 4x4 beach which made it easy to spend most of our week on the beach using the chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and sand toys provided. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and preparing meals in the well-equipped kitchen. We all agreed the beds and linens were very comfortable. Easy check-in and check-out. Golden Dunes was a 5 star rental experience and is highly recommended.

“Perfect location”
We are just back from a week at Golden Dunes - it was perfect for our group of 10 (4 adults and 6 kids) and 2 dogs. The house is a quick walk to the beach, the hot tub offers views of the ocean. Vicki is super responsive. The home has everything you need for a perfect week at OBX. Thank you Vicki

We can’t say enough about our stay at Golden Dunes. The location was perfect, being a short walk to the beach and the house was well equipped with anything you could need, including kiddo toys and beach/pool stuff. The welcome/starter kit was thoughtful and made the trip much smoother. We have already started looking at dates for next year!

Owner
Our dream to own a home on OBX became a reality in 2020 when we purchased Golden Dunes, formerly Windancer. We used a property management company for the 2021 season, but decided to self manage beginning with the 2022 season, as I have recently retired and have the time and desire to put into self managing.

I live near Annapolis, Maryland with my husband, daughter and 3 golden retrievers. I plan to begin breeding my goldens in 2023, another long time dream of mine. You may have guessed, the name Golden Dunes it a bit of a play on words.

I look forward to sharing our home with you and hope that you and your dogs find Corolla to be as magical as we do.
