Dune Castle East: Oceanfront Beach Duplex

It’s not often that I get my family from Massachusetts and Charlotte together to just enjoy our time together. Dune Castle East provided us the perfect place to do just that. This isn’t the first time we stayed at Dune Castle East and hopefully we can do it again next year. Owner did a great job renovating - especially enjoyed the walk-in shower! Perfectly located vacation spot.

We had visited this same uit a few years ago and had an excellent stay. Wen we rented again this year for a full family celebration I was pleasantly surprised to find it had a major upgrade in the kitchens with marble countertops, paint throughout and new furniture. The owners are great to work with. The location is top notch. Wish we could have stayed longer. Very peaceful, and all we could have asked for and more.

Location was excellent! Steps to the beach! Will definitely return. The only issue I had was that the AC turned off at night. I kept waking up hot, and having to adjust the thermostat.

Enjoyed speaking with owners! We did a cleaning job when we arrived and enjoyed our stay.

Living room furniture looked dirty and used. Electricity/outlets need to be addressed. Not much lighting upstairs. I was concerned about this issue as one outlet actually sparked. Nice location. Glad for washline on deck.

We have been coming down here for years and this is our favorite beach house! We rent the whole house, there are four bedrooms on each side and two additional loft rooms which is great for our kids. The deck was brand new this year and the east side got new vinyl flooring since last time we were there. The owners are very easy to work with and we truly enjoyed our stay!

We lost my husband on April 3 and came to Emerald Isle for bereavement leave and to be near my son at Camp Lejune. It was 2 weeks of relaxation, grieving and beach therapy thanks so much! Oh and pets are welcome mine loved walking on the beach every morning and the property is easy to keep clean such as quality deck furniture, floors simple to sweep, pile up towels when done, etc. we’ll be back!

This house offered an excellent location on the beach. This is a less crowded area of Emerald Isle. The house was very roomy. Furniture in living area and kitchen were newer. I enjoyed the artwork throughout the house. The house offered granite countertops throughout. Shower enclosures were ok but definitely not maintained. Kitchen was missing steak knives and could use a good drawer cleaning. The deck was very large but in need of repair and could use a hose to wash off the sand. The propane grill on the deck was unusual but it did work. The under the house showers could be awesome but they are in need of an update. I would not use them. Definitely a reasonable priced house for a large family especially if you rent both sides. There is very much potentail here. Diane

In need of repair and update as it has aged out and needs attention. The outside shower is deplorable. The mattresses are in need of replacement now!! The beach location is superb.
