Direct Oceanfront 3 BR Condo with King, Wi-Fi, swimming pool! All on one level!
Beautiful 3 BR condo with two and a half baths all on one level, with elevator and/or the stairwell to get up one level to the unit. A perfect day would be a walk on the beach in the morning watching the dolphins glide by, perhaps fishing, playing on the beach, a little pool time, nap time, and then sit on the screened deck watching the sunset. Condo sleeps 6: * King in master with bathroom; * Queen in 2nd BR (half bath); * 2 twins in 3rd BR (hall bath). *** Self check-in and self check-out. Individual codes for keypad on front door. *** This is a no smoking property. No smoking in the condo, or around the pool, elevators, second floor common areas. No candles.
Parking passes (2) provided for your stay. Renters park in the designated spaces in front of the building, not under the buildings. There are carts to load/unload your belongings and take up the elevator to the condo. ********* Please use the shower down at the beach walkway between the two buildings to shower off any sandy toys, chairs, kids before coming up on to the condo. Thank you!
*** New HVAC in 2025 New in 2023/2024: Vinyl plank flooring throughout Tiled shower in master bath Vanities and toilets in all 3 bathrooms Kitchen countertops and tile backsplash TVs mounted on walls ****** New in 2022: New Roku smart tv in "twin" bedroom New Spectrum DVD/dvr's, new wifi tower
*** Bring your own beach towels, but I have the other linens. Towels are in the dresser in the king bedroom. We have a washer-dryer in the unit; but please bring your own detergent and dryer sheets. *** The kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans; and you can use the charcoal grills located by the parking lot to cook a fantastic dinner while you are there - steaks and/or seafood on the grill? Or how about just hamburgers and hot dogs? I have included a picture of the grill area for our building. There are also some excellent restaurants nearby. ***
Check-in is at 4 p.m.; check-out at 10 a.m. Ask me in advance if you need earlier or later. I would appreciate if guests would remove shoes at the front door. If you break something, please let me know and attempt to replace it.
This complex is near the Carteret county aquarium, ranked 9th in the country, and Pine Knoll Shores, which was recently advertised in Coastal Living! You can watch the dolphins and even the kite surfers from the deck of the condo or the gazebo! There is also a day dock on the sound side across the street, by the overflow parking lot and boat storage area.
Parking passes (2) provided for your stay. Park in the parking lot, not under the building. If you don't find a space, there is an overflow lot across from building 1. No smoking and no pets! Sorry, the Homeowners Association guidelines say that renters and/or guests are not allowed to bring pets. Saturday to Saturday rentals, unless otherwise agreed upon.
Safety First!! Ocean: Please look at the warning signs/flags out at the beach. If you see red flags, that means NO SWIMMING.
Can you put a tent on the beach? Small tents/canopies are allowed on our beaches, provided they are properly secured (tents over 200 ft & canopies over 400 ft need a permit). However, we strongly recommend that these structures are not left up overnight. Objects left on the beach overnight may interfere with nesting sea turtles and their hatchlings, and they also have a tendency to go missing when they are left unattended. In order to keep your visit safe and enjoyable, we suggest that any structures be removed from the beach at night.

Host was very easy to work with. Beach access and views were fabulous. The weather was not good for pool use but walking on the beach and enjoying the beach was great. Beach views, sunrises, and sunsets were great from the condo. I personally would prefer that beds were made before we arrived. The decor in the condo is very nice. Personally, I felt the floors in the condo needed a little more cleaning. However overall the condo was well maintained and the furniture and beds were comfortable.
We have spent many vacations on the outer banks and this one did not disappoint. The condo was clean, well-equipped, nicely decorated, and comfortable. However, it does need some upkeep. The master bedroom toilet ran intermittently and several cockroaches were spotted. My advice to the owner would be to get a better property manager.
We have rented dunescape condos for many years as our extended family vacations here every year. Jenny’s a great host and her condo is well furnished and well kept. We appreciate all the little extras that make our stay so comfortable and fun!

Great choice for a Beach Getaway!
Wonderful location for a beach vacation. First floor condo was very spacious and very-well stocked with everything we needed. Beautifully decorated. Owner was very easy to communicate with. Would love to rent again in the near future!
We loved our stay! The convenience to the beach and pool unmatched! We spent so much time walking on the beach, our girls loved the tide pools, and the actual pool! The condo has everything you need for the week and helped us make lasting memories! I highly recommend Jenny’s place!!

Great location with all the necessities!
It was great to check in and check out without having to deal with waiting in line at a rental agency. Jennie provides great instructions as to what to do to check in and check out. The unit was very well stocked. It was spacious and clean. Great location with easy access to beach. Parking was great as well. Would stay again without a doubt!
We had a lovely week at this Dunescape condo. Everything was in great shape and clean. Owner was very easy to work with and helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We look forward to renting again next year!

2 Weeks at Dunescape Villa's
Exactly as described---easy access to beach--and fantastic views!! As noted cell reception is best in front bedroom or out on balcony. Even though on 1st floor--outside area very comfortable and having elevator to move groceries up was a godsend!! Being in Atlantic Beach, close to Morehead, shopping, etc. Really enjoyed our stay
Very clean, and everything as described in listing. Fantastic beach and easy access to beach boardwalk. Best building for parking at Dunescape. Close to grocery store and causeway activities, so you can avoid the heaviest traffic. We hope to book the same unit for next year, once I have vacation dates approved.
Property was outstanding. 4 of us plus a 14 mon. old. Plenty of room and beautiful view of the beach and ocean. Close to anything you would need for a weeks vacation. Plenty of great restaurants within 5 to 10 minute drive. Grocery store within a mile. Would highly recommend this villa for a nice peaceful week vacation.
Pro's: Fabulous view and quick access to the beach, saw dolphins almost every day. Condo was clean, beds comfortable, kitchen well-stocked, enough closet/dresser space. Convenient to Morehead City and Beaufort.
Con's: Living spaces are small, bathrooms are small, balconies are small (4 chairs on main balcony, one chair on master balcony), small kitchen; overall would not be enough room for 6 adults.

A wonderful week
The property is excellent, and a great value. The easy beachfront access is wonderful -- out the door, down the stairs, and you're on the walkway to the beach, which is beautiful and uncrowded. Don't worry about being so close to the walkway as it is not very busy. Mornings sitting on the screened in porch at the pub table with a cup of coffee were the best. My wife is already talking about returning next year.
The weather was not very good related to the impending hurricane. The pool was locked on Tuesday as a precaution...the homeowner had no control over... Jenny kept us updated on evacuation and unfortunately we had to leave after 4 days...She responds quickly and efficiently. Unit is nice, clean and has a fully stocked kitchen. Our second time staying in unit

Liked: Communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in
Pretty nice but needs cleaning.
It was fine , needs a thorough deep cleaning. It was surface clean only. The coffee maker was especially dirty. I had to really scrub before using. Some of the dishes had some residue, maybe they had not been used over the winter. The showers, bottom of doorways and windows need thorough cleaning. The beds were comfortable and dining area and den area were nice. Great view and short walk to the lovely beach.
Definitely will book again. First time staying on Atlantic Beach and this property is amazing, literally steps to the beach. Our Host was amazing and super helpful from start to finish.
