Awesome time with friends in a very accommodating OBX home

We had a great time in this home that had all the accommodations we needed with the heated inground pool, hot tub, beachfront property with beautiful views, plenty of dining room seating and close proximity to tourist attractions. We also had a fire pit on the beach. Owners were very prompt to respond to our questions and minimal needs.

Looney Dunes property was just as described. The ocean was beautiful, although cold in May. We were a family of nine, ranging in age from 79 to 16 and there was something for everyone. Our teenagers very much enjoyed the theater room. The pool and the hot tub were hits as well. We opted to have the pool heated, and I am glad that we did. I would recommend staying here for your next destination.

Property was as described and as pictures represent. Plenty of beds, baths and space to accommodate our family. Wonderful hot tub, pool and access to beach. Would have liked to get a heads up with the dryer being down as the repair man came late in the week. A bit of outdoor and indoor TLC would make this property even better. Bring beach towels as none are provided. The movie room was a big hit as well. Thanks for the wonderful location to make some meaningful family memories.

Really enjoyed my second year staying at The Looney dunes house. The weather could have been better, but we found other things to occupy our time like shopping & eating out.

The property was great! Eight older women enjoyed each having their own bedroom & bathroom. Ate in 5 of the 7 nights and the kitchen was equipped with everything that was needed. We also ate at some nice places, Hatteras Sol Restaurant & Good Winds Restaurant. Would have liked better weather as we are all sun worshipers. We paid to have the pool heated but didn’t really use the pool much!

House and property were clean and well maintained. The house was responsive, and the property appeared as it did in the photos. The location was peaceful and a convenient location for easy beach access. Using the public access is recommended, as the beaten down pathways over the dune isn’t great for children or people with limited mobility.

The house is huge, and the steps are many. The bedrooms are large and roomy. It was really nice sitting on the back decks and listening to the waves crash onto the beach, which you have easy access to the beach from the house. Perfect view of the sun rising.

Beautiful beach house! Beach access over the dune is super close. Host was very responsive and made sure we loved our vacation. The pool and hot tub were perfect to still enjoy the weather, especially for the windy days. The decks were perfect for sunrise coffee and relaxing. You can tell the owners really care and want you to enjoy your stay.

We really enjoyed our week at Looney Dunes to Celebrate My 70th Birthday and Easter Weekend!

The House met all our expectations. It had enough bathroom and bedrooms to accommodate 17 of my Kids, spouses& grandkids. The pool and Hot tub were great too. We loved walking the short distance to the beach everyday and collecting shells on the beach. The two outdoor showers were amazing after coming back from the beach. My grandkids loved the movie room to watch movies at night. All in all, it was an Amazing Week!

Great family gathering vacation

Great house for large family gathering- we had 3 families with 6 young kids and 2 teenagers. The home accommodates this easily with access to a variety of recreational activities. Very easy access to the ocean side. There were beach chairs and boogie boards already at the home, although we brought our own. Pool and hot tub were also a hit. We ate at the house so I cannot comment on local restaurants, but the house had all the essentials and more for cooking and storing leftovers. We had a problem with the washing machine, but the management team was very responsive and fixed the problem very quickly. All in all a fabulous week.

Perfect house for what we needed

We chose this house because we weren't sure of the weather in October. The movie theater room was a big hit with all the kids, and the pool table was a hit for the adults. We loved having bedrooms and bathrooms on all the floors, and the kids loved staying together in the bunk bedroom. The walk to the beach was a breeze, and it was nice to be able to have our own pool since the waves were pretty wild while we were there. Communication and check-in/out were a breeze. Dollar General and Waves Market and Deli are right up the road, which came in handy. It was a great experience.

Great house!

We had a great week at Looney Dunes! The house was fantastic. Having a bathroom for each bedroom (most en suites) was amazing! The house was squeaky clean. The bathrooms were up to date and nice! The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The theater room was enjoyed by all. The hot tub was very popular and had such an easy to use cover. No one needed help to wrestle it on and off. The pool is a nice size and fairly deep. The deck area and outdoor furniture by the pool was in good shape, sturdy and there was enough for everyone to enjoy being poolside. The pool deck lighting was great too. And everything in the house was in working order. We didn’t find broken or unable to use features or items. We brought our pup and he enjoyed the vacation along with us! Would recommend!

Lovely house with everything you need!

We loved this home & our stay in Waves. The home had everything we needed, the kitchen was well outfitted, the pool and hot tub were great, the living room area was big enough for all 18 of us to be in at once, and the beds were comfortable and clean. The house was also more well kept than the one we stayed in last year. The rental team was very responsive. Waves is quiet and uncrowded. While you have to travel a bit to get to a "real" grocery store, the little corner store was quite well stocked. We did have a visit from the infamous biting flies on our first day, so bring your bug spray just in case! A lot of the bedrooms in this house have only a king bed, so some children had to sleep on air mattresses but it all worked out. (Our house last year had several different bed configurations which worked out perfectly for our families).

Nice quiet retreat

Well the area is great if your looking for a quite family style vacation. Wave's Deli and Lisa's Pizza have great eats. There is a Dollar General right there as well, any other big items you may need are within 15-20min drive to Avon. The property itself is needs some TLC. Pictures in ad are from a few years ago I think. Pool looked pristine in pic's but in reality needed to be refinished but has new furniture. Cleanliness was good but did find baby socks laying on couch and food particles "cereal" in the tray on coffee table. Talked to property MGR and he was very helpful in to resolve any issues that may need to be taken care of. I would not be hesitate to rent this house again if we would return to the Outer Banks. Kitty Hawk is about 30 min and has all the entertainment needs a kid would want.
