We enjoyed our three nights stay at Dune Somethin Right! The house was clean and had everything that we needed for our stay. Even though the house sets a block away from the beach it had a wonderful view from the balcony. We also thoroughly enjoyed the ring game at the carport below. Would highly recommend this house for your stay in surf city!

This was a great getaway beach house with ocean view from the second floor. Spacious with all the home tools one needs for comfort and relaxation. Our puppy enjoyed the large grass area for play and a quick skip to the sand. Please people, stop saying it needs updating. Why do you want to pay more for a brand new bathroom vanity or a top of the line shower? Who cares? We were there for the ocean and their home provided my family of five with a perfect location with an amazing deal! Thank you so much! Forever grateful.

Nice week-long stay

We enjoyed our stay and found it clean and well stocked except for toilet paper (a partial roll in each bathroom). Location was as described and a short walk to the beach access. The temperature inside was warm especially upstairs so we utilized extra fans to help. Would stay again!

Great location so close to the beach. Bathrooms needed updating. Comfortable beds & good selection of blankets, pillows & dishwear. Best of all our dog loved being with us. Wash machine & dryer were a plus. Were able to use beach chairs provided but the umbrella was damaged.
