About the host
Hosted by Dawn Berard and David McLean
Dawn & David are local to the area and love travel and adventure. From boating to diving, beach days to fun filled nights, tranquility to excitement. Together we own multiple properties in places we love so that we can use them when we are not sharing them. We have a farm close by with donkeys and horse on 17 acres, a downtown urban historic building for the nightlife and culture, a mountain escape on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Spruce Pine, NC on 12 acres for the starry nights and an unplugged experience, and now have added our last and likely favorite property that combines it all! Welcome to Dock & Dunes!
Why they chose this property
We are on a deep water canal with a private boat ramp and a 4 minute walk to the beach, with water on both sides, and access to boating what more can we ask for... how about a few cool night life spots not far away, restaurants, and shopping, a close by pier and tons of places to explore by land or sea. Dock and Dunes has it all in a great beachy bright place with tons of room for family and friends.
What makes this property unique
Canal front, deep water, ocean steps away and allows pets, includes free linens and beach towels! fully stocked kitchen, new appliances, stainless steel Wilmington Grill.... really too much to note here. You really must check out our newest place! It will not disappoint!
