We've been to the OBX before but this was our first time staying in Corolla and our daughter and son-in-law's first time ever at the OBX. It was the perfect "initiation" for them! Being only a couple of hours from Virginia Beach it allowed us to spend time with son-in-law's brother and family which was an added bonus. House is amazing, comfortable and SO well organized! And the beach! What can we say?!? It was incredible...so clean and just a short walk away. Sunrise photo ops were amazing (albeit a tad windy) and the two perfect beach days we had were...perfect. Ate LOTS of seafood in different restaurants, visited lighthouses, shopped, had plenty of relaxing down time and just an overall great week. We left just before the big rainstorm hit so the timing couldn't have been better. Certainly hope to come back again. Thanks for everything Michelle!!

Book this space. Everything you need is there. Michelle’s thoughtful touches from a dedicated coffee bar to comfy beds to short walks to the ocean makes this place feel just like home away from home. It’s apparent how dedicated Michelle is as a Superhost. You’ll enjoy staying here no doubt!

Michelle’s place was great! Conveniently located close to the beach and grocery store and tucked away in the neighborhood. Clean and organized from the utensils, instructions, remotes, lights, etc. The upstairs space including kitchen and full bath were beautifully done with wonderful views of the tops of pines and blue skies. Michelle is a wonderful host - extremely communicative and thoughtful. We’ll be looking for Michelle’s house for our next visit to the OBX. Thank you so much!

Ours was a last minute trip for my daughter's birthday and we found a gem! Everything we could hope for and more. Michelle has continued to wow us as she willingly mailed my daughter's items accidentally left behind!

We had a wonderful time during our week in Corolla! Unfortunately, hurricane Debby had other plans but we made the best of it and enjoyed our time relaxing in the home. We were happy to be close to the beach — only a 2-min walk — for beach strolls in between the rain storms. The beach access is super convenient — not to mention an active lifeguard stand which made us super happy to be near with our kids, especially on the “no swim” days. Clean, well stocked, comfortable, and convenient location to Harris Teeter. A great host! Thank you.

Michelle was friendly and very responsive, communicating from booking to check out. The cleaners had overlooked some details and she responded and had the issue corrected right away. The kitchen was fully stocked and cabinets were labeled to make cooking easier. The home was uncluttered, close to the beach and perfect for our family. She even had beach chairs and toys for us to use. There is also a lot to do in this area of the Outer Banks. We would happily stay here again.

We had a great time during our stay in Corolla. The house is beautiful. Looks just like the pictures. It was super clean and welcoming with its beachy vibe. Having a variety of games to play came in very handy on the day we had bad weather. Michelle is a great host. She's super responsive, helpful and very friendly. The description of the walk to the beach is accurate, less than a 5 minute walk to the private beach which is beautiful! Grocery stores, shopping and restaurants are close by. We will definitely visit again and would love to stay at the house again. Thank you Michelle for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Renting Michelle’s beautiful home was the best decision I ever made for my family’s getaway to the OBX. My family has been coming to the OBX since the 90’s using the same rental company & after having a bad experience last year, I decided to look for rentals elsewhere. From the start Michelle was so incredibly kind, communicative, and worked with me to ensure I was able to book the dates I needed. She remembered even a year later my previous bad rental experience and made sure this rental was spotless when we arrived. Her cleaning crew was amazing and this home was so clean and welcoming. The location was absolutely perfect. Close to the beach and all the shops. It was so beautifully decorated and I could tell Michelle truly cared about her guests and ensuring the rental experience was perfect. The OBX is my happy place and I’m so grateful I found this spot. Thank you so much Michelle for everything. My family and I can’t wait to come back one day :)

Michelle was a great host. Answered questions prior to booking and communicated important details before the trip. The house was beautiful, looked like it was brand new. The beach was only a short walk away. Shopping, restaurants and ice cream were all within 2 miles or closer which allowed walking, biking or driving. Our family had a wonderful time and highly recommend Dune What We Want.

My family really enjoyed our stay! The house was really well stocked. It was nice to have access to beach items and flashlights to take our kids crabbing. It was nicely renovated and perfect beach decor. The outdoor furniture on the deck was so nice and I enjoyed the color flowers in the planters. The bedroom upstairs has a really firm bed. We slept on it the first night and were uncomfortable but were able to move to another bed for the rest of our stay. It was so nice to have fans in each room! And the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and more! We packed with intention of doing laundry, but the house directions request only doing laundry if an emergency because of the community septic situation. So I would keep that in mind while packing + if you have small kids! Thankfully we managed, but it would have been good to know before arrival. We would recommend staying here and are thankful for the memories we made in this home and this beach!

Response:Hi Drew! We really enjoyed having you and hope you return! We replaced all of the mattresses and purposely incorporated various levels of firmness in hopes that each guest would find one that is comfortable for them. I am glad it worked for you and you found the right one for your sleeping preference! I am so sorry that you felt that you could not do laundry and thank you for calling that to my attention. The verbiage was more to discourage guests from doing laundry daily and also prior to purchasing a new dryer this year (the old one had a horrible lint collection system and did not work well). I will change that in my booklet during the next revision. Thank you for being so respectful of following the house rules but I feel bad about the inconvenience you had.
