About this property

PREMIER location; CONCIERGE linen service; 2 PRIMARY SUITES

You'll be "Dune the Happy Dance" when you book this lovely 4 bedroom/3 bath home! We offer an easy all inclusive nightly rate with no additional cleaning or linen fees. You will be greeted with CONCIERGE LINEN AND TOWEL SERVICE. Upon your arrival, all beds will be completely made with kitchen and bath towels provided. Please note: we do NOT provide beach towels or toiletries. Relax and enjoy the comforts that award-winning Sunset Beach has to offer at "DUNE THE HAPPY DANCE", a west-end, fifth row beach house perfectly poised just a few steps from the beach. Once you're on the beach, you are only about a football field's walk to Bird Island. With 40th Street being the end of the island, 37th Street is one of the closest walks to the famous Kindred Spirit Mailbox. This inviting cozy home features spacious vaulted ceilings throughout with TWO PRIMARY SUITES and private baths along with two additional bedrooms connecting to a third jack-n-jill bath. With two king beds, two full beds, two twin beds, the home sleeps 10 with custom designed furniture, cheerful paint in all rooms, 7 ceiling fans with remotes, stainless appliances, custom wood countertops, well-stocked kitchen with all the pots/pans, dishes, etc. you could possibly need including both a Keurig (bring your favorite pods) and a traditional coffee maker. The home includes hi speed wi-fi and cable and smart televisions for your convenience to log into with your own streaming accounts during your visit. Soak up the sun and sounds of the ocean from EITHER the oversized screened porch off the back of the house or the oversized sun deck on the front of the house. Both have seating for 10! Mosquitos will not be invited to your gathering as extra care has been taken to screen the entire back porch including the deck floor. Outside amenities include a grill, outside shower, wide selection of outdoor furniture, beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, umbrella, and two picnic tables. Inhale the ocean breeze relaxing in the hammock or bring your own eno to enjoy. Rainy day entertainment includes your choice from several board games, puzzles, and books for our guests' enjoyment. DUNE THE HAPPY DANCE rents SATURDAY -SATURDAY during the peak summer weeks. It is also perfect for off season weekend retreats with nightly rental available and a minimum of 3 nights. Some dates during the off season offer a 10% discount for a 7 night stay. Dune the Happy Dance, with two primary suites, is the ideal vacation home for multiple families, multi-generational families, girls weekend, and golf weekends. Hear the ocean from the back porch and sink into total relaxation in the evenings after a day of play in the waves and sand. Relax with a book on the sofa swing under the house. As much as we love four legged furry family members, we do not allow pets in this house. If evidence of a pet is found during the stay, guests will be asked to leave immediately for breach of contract with no refund for remaining nights and the refundable deposit will be withheld. If evidence of a pet is found after departure, charges will apply. We want to maintain the highest quality of our home for your enjoyment and pleasure at the beach.
We appreciate our guests and aim to provide as many convenient details as possible so you can RELAX, EXHALE, RENEW, and ENJOY. We look forward to you staying with us at Dune the Happy Dance.

Perfect Beach House!

This house is absolutely perfect!! It’s beautifully decorated, maintained and spotlessly clean!! it is also very well stocked with everything you could possibly need! It is a very short walk to the beach with the beach access three houses down. The screened in porch on the back was a perfect place to sit and have coffee in the morning or relax in the evening with no bugs! My husband and I came for a short break to celebrate our 40th anniversary and we cannot say enough good things about this house! We will definitely come back in the future!!
Beautiful view of the sunrise from the front deck

Perfect beach getaway

Our family had a wonderful time at this spacious beach getaway. The multiple bathrooms are a plus. the open air deck on the front and the screened in area in the back were great spots to chill after a day at the beach or golfing! Close to a lot of good outdoor places to explore and excellent food/ice cream in Calabash. The beach is exceptional we did the Happy Dance 😃

Great Family-Friends Weekend

This is the BEST location on the west end of the island (toward Bird Island). It is easily walkable to the beach, and has a fantastic screened in porch, and big living/kitchen area for a large group. It was very clean, quick and easy to check in and out, plenty of parking, well stocked kitchen, and comfortable beds.

Can’t rave enough about this vacation home! Rental process is smooth start to finish. This was our second year here with next year booked. The owner’s care is evident in all areas from decor to the well stocked kitchen, comfortable furniture, lovely screened porch and main level patio area with shower…the list goes on. Happy surprises this year with a keyless entry, remodeled main master bath complete with a stack washer/dryer so no need to use stairs to do laundry. Love the linen service and all amenities.
