About this property

THE PERFECT FAMILY BEACH HOME!

Welcome to DUNE JUST FINE! Please read our reviews! This beautiful 5 bedroom (3 KING suites), 5 and 1/2 bath beach home sleeps 14 and has everything you and your family need to make wonderful memories of your stay at Holden Beach, NC. Many guests have commented that Dune Just Fine, a second row home, has the feel of an ocean front property without the higher cost. Just a 66 SECOND walk via the neighborhood's private beach access puts your toes in the sand! Enjoy spectacular views of the surf from the main living area or spiral up to the Crow's Nest and take in a 360 degree panoramic of the entire island as you chill in one of the two swivel bar stools up top.

Not in a beach mood? No worries! Just catch catch a few poolside rays while you stream or cast a game on the 70 inch smart TV at the OASIS BAR AND GRILL! The backyard is a private tropical oasis with a lush, green lawn, fantastic salt water pool, swaying palms and other exotic tropical plants, comfortable lounge chairs, a cushy sectional in the late afternoon shade and outdoor shower. The OASIS BAR AND GRILL boasts a stainless steel built-in cooler, sink and half-size refrigerator. There are 8 poly-wood swivel bar stools for just hanging out. Poolside we have 7 lounge chairs and a sectional couch. And there’s a large 8 foot picnic table with umbrella for family gatherings, games or dining. You’ll also find a bluetooth amp and speakers at OB&G to stream tunes from your mobile device. You’ll find 14 Tommy Bahama beach chairs, a ladder ball game and a corn hole set in the garage.

Dune Just Fine has been meticulously maintained with pride in an effort to always have that "new home feel" . We have continued to roll rental income back into DJF each year to keep it one of the most desired properties on Holden Beach. This year you'll enjoy a brand new luxurious chef's kitchen with a gigantic and beautiful island, gorgeous leathered granite countertops, bright pendant lighting and a spectacular chandelier over the dining table..

The five bedrooms consist of 3 KING bedrooms,1 bedroom with two queens and 1 bedroom with a pair of double bunks. DJF will comfortably sleep 14. Four bedrooms have their own private bath. The bunk room has access to another full bath just outside its door on the upper level. There is another half-bath on the midlevel.

The home has a washer/dryer, a port-a-playpen/sleeper and highchair as well as an iron and ironing board. All bedrooms have their own flat screen TVs with ROKU streaming. All bathrooms have a hairdryer.

The reverse open floor plan is very popular as guests can stay connected in the massive top level living area that blends a fully appointed chef's kitchen, a huge island with bar seating for 4, a large farmhouse dining table and a modern living room with ample seating and a giant smart TV, DVR and sound system. Guests can dine outside on the poly-wood dining set on the upper deck. Feeling competitive? How about a game of 8-ball on the regulation size pool table in the mid-level living area that has its own large flat screen TV and a Kitchenette including a stainless steel refrigerator with ice maker, microwave, toaster, sink and coffee station.

Dune Just Fine is conveniently located just a few blocks from the Holden Beach bridge making quick trips to the mainland a breeze. A handful of great local eateries are just 5 minutes away including longtime favorite and ultra-casual Provision Company. The causeway boasts plenty of surf shops and rental agencies where you can book bikes by the day or week or try kayaking. And there are several great ice cream shops nearby. For the best seafood or steaks we have the world famous town of Calabash just 25 minutes away. Try Oyster Rock, right on the water! And, just across the state line is Little River, SC and the Parson's Table, one of our favorite fine dining restaurants. Try the Oysters Rockefeller! A little farther south you'll find the Grand Strand of Myrtle Beach with 100's of restaurants, bars, shops and other amusements for the whole family. And then there is the GOLF. There are dozens and dozens of extraordinary golf courses within 60 minutes of Dune Just Fine. Check out Oyster Bay at Sunset Beach for example...it is as beautiful as it is diabolical... https://www.oysterbaymyrtlebeach.com/

Dune Just Fine is set up to be ideal for families. IT IS NOT A PARTY HOUSE and by submitting a rental application you and all your group are agreeing to the terms, guidelines and restrictions of DJF's rental agreement, particularly in regard to misrepresentations as to occupancy, parking and guests. Parking is limited to 6 vehicles.

DJF is NOT approved for animals as the owners have severe allergies. If a member of your group must travel with a certified support animal, we respectfully request that you not book DJF. There are many fine alternatives on the island that will welcome pets.

The purchase of Damage Insurance is required at booking. Nonetheless, if damages exceed the maximum coverage provided by your damage policy, the owner(s) of Dune Just Fine reserves the right to pursue full financial remedy for repair, cleaning or restoration expenses exceeding your coverage as well as lost rents that may be the result of the property being uninhabitable, unsuitable or, in the opinion of the owners, not up to normal standards .

IMPORTANTLY, should you decide to book Dune Just Fine, we highly recommend the purchase of Trip or Travel Insurance. Please familiarize yourself with DJF's cancellation policy. Travel insurance is available for purchase when you book through our VRBO site. Various options for coverage allow you to customize your policy. It helps to safeguard your trip by adding protection for delays, interruptions, and cancellations, depending upon the policy features you purchase. If plans are disrupted for a covered reason, you can be reimbursed by the insurance company for the resulting out-of-pocket expenses and non-refundable trip fees. Policy benefits can be customized to expand coverage for cancellations due to a multitude of reasons other than storms. While neither DJF or VRBO sell Travel Insurance, VRBO recommends Travel Insurance provided and underwritten by Generali Global, U.S. Branch. There are many other providers on the market today including USI Travel Insurance. The choice is yours as to how to insure your trip. Two options to consider can be Googled per below:

Perfect!
Wanted a place for family and friends to relax and couldn’t have been happier with Dune Just Fine. The location was perfect for walking across the street to the beach, or just down the road for some great food. House had everything we could’ve wanted and provided such a great place to make memories. HIGHLY recommend!

Excellent Property!
Plenty of space! A lot of eating utensils for a huge number of people so you will never run out. Nice playable level pool table - not just for show. Back yard and pool area are very nice. Bluetooth speakers in outdoor bar. Nice grassy area in back yard for cornhole. Our 3 families had a wonderful time!

About the host

Hosted by Lacy Walthall

Host profile image
Holden Beach is a very special place. If Goldilocks were to choose her favorite beach, it would be Holden! It's not too big, and not too small. It's just right! The perfect family beach. There are no high-rises or traffic lights... only a few small family-owned businesses and local specialty merchants. Everyone is laid back and friendly. We have been coming to the North Carolina coast for over 5 decades and there isn't a single NC beach we haven't visited. Without a doubt, Holden is our favorite. That is why we chose Holden when we decided to buy a vacation home. Dune Just Fine is our second home. We only rent it out during the peak summer season. The balance of the year has us spending time at Holden, enjoying Dune Just Fine as we hope you will.

Why they chose this property

The sand is just 66 seconds away! Private beach access is across Ocean Blvd and one lot to the left. This home has a beachfront feel to it! The views from the main level and Crow's Nest are spectacular!

What makes this property unique

The back yard is awesome! Very private and inviting. The Tiki bar is a great hang-out with 8 swivel bar stools, large 70 inch SMART TV, sink, mini-fridge, built-in stainless steel cooler and solid wi-fi connection. The lush lawn is perfect for games for all ages. Palms and tropical plants give a cool Caribbean vibe. The summer sun soaks the pool all day and the late afternoon offers shade. The Bull built-in gas grill is powerful. An 8 foot picnic table promotes family outdoor dining beside the pool. And the kids will love the pool's multi-light show at night (switch on column at bar...just flip it on/off to advance the settings).
