Our family had an incredible stay at this beautiful VRBO property. The host was extremely accommodating and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. The home itself was spacious, fully updated, and absolutely stunning.The amount of entertainment on the property was amazing — we enjoyed the pool, outdoor heated tub, basketball court, pickleball, putt‑putt area, fire pit with plenty of seating, kids’ playhouse with a swing set, and the outdoor shower. The huge patio with a grill was perfect for relaxing and cooking meals together.This home truly had everything we needed for the perfect family vacation. We loved every moment of our stay and would definitely book again. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and memorable getaway.

About the host
Hosted by Grant
I'm Grant, a professional STR host with a portfolio of luxury short-term rentals built around one goal: giving groups an experience they actually talk about after they get home. I designed Golden Dune from the ground up for large groups who want space, fun, and zero hassle. I'm responsive, detail-oriented, and genuinely love what I do. Your stay will be taken care of.
Why they chose this property
Centrally located in Wilmington — close enough to Wrightsville Beach to make a morning run, far enough from the tourist strip to feel like your own private retreat. You're 10 minutes from the beach, 12 from the downtown Riverwalk, and 3 minutes from UNCW. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, which means your group can relax and recharge without the noise of a busy tourist corridor. It's the best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
Most vacation rentals give you a house. Golden Dune gives you a full resort. Heated pool, 7-person hot tub, pickleball and basketball court, mini putt green, game room, fire pit, giant swingset, beach sand area — all in the backyard. 3,100 sq ft of open-concept space sleeps 20 comfortably. Add in fridge stocking, decoration packages, and a host who actually responds — and there's nothing else like it in Wilmington.
