Relax and enjoy the comforts that award-winning Sunset Beach has to offer at DUNE THE HAPPY DANCE, a west-end, fifth rowbeach house perfectly poised just a few steps from the beach. Once you're on the beach, you are only about a football field's walk to Bird Island. With 40th Street being the end of the island, 37th Street is one of the closest walks to the famous Kindred Spirit Mailbox. This inviting cozy home features spacious vaulted ceilings throughout with TWO PRIMARY SUITES and private baths along with two additional bedrooms connecting to a third jack-n-jill bath. With two king beds, two full beds, two twin beds, the home sleeps 10 with custom designed furniture, cheerful paint in all rooms, 7 ceiling fans with remotes, stainless appliances, custom wood countertops, well-stocked kitchen with all the pots/pans, dishes, etc. you could possibly need including both a Keurig (bring your favorite pods) and a traditional coffee maker. The home includes hi speed wi-fi and cable and smart televisions for your convenience to log into with your own streaming accounts during your visit. Soak up the sun and sounds of the ocean from EITHER the oversized screened porch off the back of the house or the oversized sun deck on the front of the house. Both have seating for 10! Mosquitos will not be invited to your gathering as extra care has been taken to screen the entire back porch including the deck floor. Outside amenities include a grill, outside shower, wide selection of outdoor furniture, beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, umbrella, and two picnic tables. Inhale the ocean breeze relaxing in the hammock or bring your own eno to enjoy. Rainy day entertainment includes your choice from several board games, puzzles, and books for our guests' enjoyment. DUNE THE HAPPY DANCE rents SATURDAY -SATURDAY during the peak summer weeks. It is also perfect for off season weekend retreats with nightly rental available and a minimum of 3 nights. Some dates during the off season offer a 10% discount for a 7 night stay. Dune the Happy Dance, with two primary suites, is the ideal vacation home for multiple families, multi-generational families, girls weekend, and golf weekends. Hear the ocean from the back porch and sink into total relaxation in the evenings after a day of play in the waves and sand. Relax with a book on the sofa swing under the house.

If evidence of a pet is found during the stay, guests will be asked to leave immediately for breach of contract with no refund for remaining nights and the refundable deposit will be withheld. If evidence of a pet is found after departure, charges will apply. We want to maintain the highest quality of our home for your enjoyment and pleasure at the beach.
We appreciate our guests and aim to provide as many convenient details as possible so you can RELAX, EXHALE, RENEW, and ENJOY. We look forward to you staying with us at Dune the Happy Dance.

    Location was great! just a short walk to the ocean. you can hear the waves from front deck. Kitchen was well stocked only thing we couldn't find was an ice cream scooper. the weather was very cool while we were there so we didn't go to beach everyday. the games that were provided made for great entertainment for the boys. We would definitely rent again.

    My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much. The house was very comfortable, clean & accommodated all our needs. It’s a very short walk to the beach. The host, Deb was very responsive. Due to the blizzard in the NE, our flights were cancelled and we needed to stay an additional 3 days. Deb was very understanding and offered us to opportunity to stay at the house. We were so grateful!

    We found the property to be much as described, very nice decor and roomy for four adults and child. The only negative I have to report was the sandy floors and sand fleas which is pretty much unavoidable at the beach so...

    We had a great stay for the week of July 4th! The house was super convenient with a quick walk about to the beach; being a street with beach access directly is always a plus!The house was super cute, had plenty of space and offered great amenities as listed. The large kitchen table was super nice for lunches and dinners, and had plenty of room when extra friends/family stopped by. Having the 3 bathrooms made it easier for everyone as well. And as always, our group loves an outdoor shower!The hosts replied very quickly for the couple of questions or comments we had throughout our stay!We highly recommend this house and would definitely return!

    This house was great! Three bathrooms are a must with this many girls, and the outside shower was a lifesaver. The Kitchen table was great, big enough for all of us to sit at. We had a fantastic time. We love Sunset Beach.

    This is the 5th year and 5th house we’ve rented at Sunset Beach and by far the best! Easy stroll to beach and easy drive to restaurants and stores. Kitchen was well equipped. Having beds made upon arrival and towels provided was a real perk! Great space for 4 women to share. Would definitely stay again!

    This house is absolutely perfect!! It’s beautifully decorated, maintained and spotlessly clean!! it is also very well stocked with everything you could possibly need! It is a very short walk to the beach with the beach access three houses down. The screened in porch on the back was a perfect place to sit and have coffee in the morning or relax in the evening with no bugs! My husband and I came for a short break to celebrate our 40th anniversary and we cannot say enough good things about this house! We will definitely come back in the future!!

    Our family had a wonderful time at this spacious beach getaway. The multiple bathrooms are a plus. the open air deck on the front and the screened in area in the back were great spots to chill after a day at the beach or golfing! Close to a lot of good outdoor places to explore and excellent food/ice cream in Calabash. The beach is exceptional we did the Happy Dance 😃
