About this house rental
“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.

Nicely decorated, super clean, fully stocked home, situated right on the canal. Layout was super functional. Beds were very comfortable. Outdoor shower was great after a day at the beach. Back porch overlooking the canal was great for morning coffee, an afternoon beverage or to escape a passing shower. Hosts were very friendly, super responsive and accommodating!! Visits from the horses right at the house were a highlight. Definitely need a 4x4 vehicle to navigate the beach and community back roads. Would highly recommend a stay at this home away from home!!
Thank you, Michelle and Michael, for sharing your special home with us! Hope to visit again in the future!

To say it was beyond perfect would probably be an understatement. First off Michelle’s communication skills are top tier, she was quick with responses and so kind! She even offered us another night stay due to the horrible weather, which was very much a sweet sentiment. We feel she went above and beyond. She also made sure before we booked we had 4 wheel drive which i appreciated, because you definitely will need it. When coming in, I did see other cars get stuck in the sand, so one has to wonder if they were extended the same courtesy from their hosts, that we were. The house has a nice layout, comfy beds, super clean and the shower outside (was probably one of my favorites). They offer beach chairs, toys, etc for you to use while there, fishing poles and paddle boards. They also have corn hole & so many boardgames. My favorite place in the house was probably the porch over looking the water where I could read and watch my little guy fish. And as the other reviews said, the horses come up to the property! We saw them every single day, the baby, Esther (Michelle knew all their names) was a firecracker and was so fun to watch doing zoomies around the house. What I didn’t see listed and was a beautiful surprise, was that on the beach we also saw dolphins daily, which made this experience that more magical. If you’re looking for a quiet, family friendly location that feels like a home away from home, I highly recommend booking with this wonderful couple.

Driving in on the beach, we knew this trip would be different. The beach is beautiful, and it's actually easy to drive on the sand. The house is beautiful and very comfortable and stocked with almost everything you need. The owner was very helpful and communicative about what bait to use for fishing and what beach ramp to use for access. Hint: it's near the fire station. Overall, we felt very welcome.
We were there only an hour or two and the horses made their appearance. Nearly everyday we saw horses near the property. They come right up to the house as advertised. Our weather wasn't the greatest, but this trip was truly an adventure we will not soon forget. It's one of the better places we've stayed, and we've been doing VRBO for about 7 years now.

This was truly an AMAZING EXPERIENCE. From the initial booking process to the time we returned home Michael and Michelle made are stay a memory we won't soon forget. From the wild horses, to the beach drives, outdoor and indoor activities, just relaxing at "The Dune" plus a whole lot more stamped thefactvthat we chose to stay there. We highly recommend this rental and we would rent again. They fully stocked the house and were timely if you ever needed to reach them. Michelle even helped on a personal matter. Thanks again for that. We ABSOLUTELY loved and enjoyed our stay. Thank you for allowing us the privilege to stay in your home.
