Great Vacation at Golden Dunes!

My girlfriend and I just had a terrific week staying at Golden Dunes! Everything was clean and well supplied so there was not much that we needed. The owner Vicki was kind and responsive and always available to answer questions or make recommendations. We would definitely stay here again!

Great place, dog friendly!

Great property and location. The pool and hot tub were great. Also very dog friendly- has 3 different size crates on the property for your dog- also an outdoor area to secure your dog. Dog Emergency kit and clean up supplies all there. Plenty of bathrooms. Lots of outdoor deck areas- deck to see the sunset was nice! Close to the beach, boardwalk area and the beach to drive on to see horses. I highly recommend.

Contentment in Corolla

Everything was perfect! The house was clean and very comfortable. Lots of extra features to make it seem like home! The neighborhood was great for walking my dog and just a short walk to the beach. We fell in love with Corolla! Our host Vicky was extremely kind, caring and responsive. We are very grateful to have been able to share her home

About the host

Hosted by Vicki Callahan

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.

Why they chose this property

Golden Dunes is a cozy home suited well for small families who do not need 5+ bedrooms but you still have all the amenities to have a fabulous time. The hot tub and pool are great to have a relax after a day of siteseeing or hanging on the beach.

What makes this property unique

Golden Dunes offers morning sunrise and evening sunset views from the home or a short walk away for you to enjoy. The home is set up to be very welcoming to those who want to travel with their dogs, as well. Providing gates, crates and an outdoor kennel help you and your dog enjoy your vacation.
