About this property
Lovely Canal Front Home in the 4X4! Reasonable Rates!
“Dune What We Do” is a newly updated home on the canal in the 4X4 AREA. A 4WD Vehicle is REQUIRED to get to this home. Ideal for a small family of 5-6 that loves relaxation and/or adventure! When not sitting (or surfing) on the pristine Carova Beach or admiring the horses (from at least 50’ away), we hope that you will fall in love with our home like we have! We purchased our home at the end of 2021 and have been busy giving it tons of TLC.
All living space is located on one main (upper) level with a canal view from the open living room, dining area, fully stocked kitchen, the large (covered) porch and the smaller screened in porch. There is also a primary king bedroom with a full bathroom, 2 other newly furnished bedrooms and a main bathroom. Located on the bottom level is a HUGE outdoor shower with hand spray for sandy feet and a utility room. We have outdoor games, 2 paddleboards, surfboards and other amenities for you to enjoy. There is even a chest freezer for you to store your own extra ice for coolers and cocktails. Feel free to launch the paddleboards right off the dock or bring your favorite fishing gear to fish off from the yard/dock. Of course, you can just relax in the Adirondack chairs by the fire pit or porch while your dinner is cooking on the gas grill. We even try to be flexible if you need a different check in/check out day or if you want to extend your stay for a few extra days (in advance). Please contact me to discuss and we can update the VRBO listing to accommodate your dates.

About the host
Hosted by Michael and Michelle
Mike and I (Michelle) purchased Dune What We Do as our 2nd home on 10/30/2021 and immediately went to work on renovating & improving. We did everything ourselves…from yard clearing & flooring to vinyl siding & fascia, plus a WHOLE LOT MORE! We are the 2nd owners & it has never been in a rental program, nor did we intend to rent it either. Then we decided we can’t be there every week… so why not share our home for others to enjoy? Although the calendar shows a lot of availability so we can be flexible for vacation dates, we only intend to rent the home a few weeks per year. With the exception of some more updates & additions planned for the end of 2022/early 2023, we plan to keep the house simple WITHOUT a pool or hot tub.
Our house is meant for a small family or a couple of friends to enjoy the natural vibe. We don’t have anybody managing it & want to keep it as our own which is why we chose to host it ourselves. When not making memories at Dune What We Do, Mike & I reside in Virginia Beach. Without traffic, it takes almost 3 hours by truck or 1 hour by boat (door to door) so we enjoy our home often. We hope you enjoy it as well.
