Step into the casual elegance of the main floor, featuring a family sized table for eight, six swivel stools along the grand island bar, overstuffed furniture, a convenient half bath, and french doors opening to the outdoor deck and private pool. The well equipped kitchen has stainless steel appliances, beautiful granite counter tops and bar that seats 6! Both regular and Keurig coffee pots are provided for guests to enjoy a morning cup around the pool or balcony, and the Ninja blender is ready for those morning smoothies or afternoon frozen drinks.
French doors open up from the great room to the deck area, with a large and private heated* pool, gas grill, and outdoor dining. Your poolside fun is enhanced by waterproof Bluetooth speaker and relaxing lounge chairs. And when you're ready to hit the sand, beach chairs, beach wagon, and beach towels are ready for your short walk to the shore. After rinsing off at the outdoor shower, take advantage of your private entrance to Dune Side's large private park to enjoy the open play area, swings, Adirondack chairs and outdoor dining. *Pool is heated to 85 degrees at no extra cost from March1 through October 31; pool may be heated for an additional fee.

The house was great! Well stocked with all the supplies we needed - kitchen and bath essentials and pool and beach gear! The house was clean and location was good - a quiet street but walkable to coffee, breakfast and ice cream.
Our family had a great stay over the past weekend for my daughter’s winter break from school. The house was clean and in great condition. We enjoyed the pool and close access to the beach with golf cart. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
This property is beautiful, and it’s in a great location! Our children, their spouses, and our five grandchildren had plenty of room. We loved the pool as well as the adjacent private park. The beach is a quick golf cart ride from the house and close to restaurants and oyster bars.
The house is beautiful, spacious and conveniently located. The kids loved the pool and the golf cart was a major plus. We had easy access to the beach, gas station, restaurants and ice cream. The house was very clean and tastefully decorated with plenty of beach supplies. We will definitely rent this in the future!
The house was beautiful and well finished. The host was fantastic and provided all the details to make our vacation a pleasure. I would highly recommend this vacation house. We plan on staying again.
Awesome home for our family of 9! Room for everyone so everyone had their own space. Pool was nice after the beach. All amenities taken care of and had everything we needed. Host was responsive quickly. Park was used every day that is right next to the house.
10/10…would rent again!!! Beautiful home, well stocked with beach chairs, beach toys, kitchen supplies, etc, loved having the pool and the private park right next door, convenient location…walk or short golf cart rides to coffee, ice cream, restaurants, etc. We had issues with the front door lock and the golf cart and the hosts were easily accessible, immediately responsive, and resolved the issues asap! Can’t wait to rent again!
We absolutely loved our stay at Emily’s beach house. It was a convenient location, very close to the beach, and the golf cart and private pool were a plus! The house was beautifully decorated, and communicating with Emily was incredibly easy and she was always quick to respond. Highly recommend this property!
Property was amazing, clean, and the perfect amount of space for our group of 12. Kids thoroughly enjoyed afternoons in the pool not to mention playing football in the private park next door until sunset.
Only negative would be that the TVs up in the bedrooms were difficult to navigate and make work.
This beautifully appointed home had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing family vacation. There was plenty of room for our family of 12 and we loved the large common area and gigantic kitchen island for family dinners and games. The pool was great for the kids and it was nice to have the park area right next door to the house. The beach proximity was totally walkable, although we elected to drive and never had an issue with parking. And the homeowner made check-in a breeze and was quick to respond to all of my questions. Two thumbs up from my family!
It is a very nice property. The place was clean and in good repair. We had a little trouble with a bathtub but it was quickly repaired after we reported it. You can walk to the beach. We were not able to swim at the beach, so having a pool was perfect for us. There were beach chairs and wagon for the beach and toys for the pool. We had a great time.
I would recommend this property.
We loved our stay at Dune Side Escape. Great location & it was wonderful to have a golf cart. The pool was an added bonus and the beach towels and coolers & toys in the outdoor closet were all so very nice to have. The owner & property manager were very responsive & great to rent from. The only improvement I can see would be adding medium firm mattresses in the 2nd floor bedrooms. Of course I know everyone has a preference and they were too soft for us BUT our trip was still fantastic and we have already recommended this house to friends and would absolutely stay again. Thank you Emily for sharing this beautiful property!
Very nice property and close walk to beach entrance and Creamery that was visited daily. Cart always a plus. Heated Pool was a hit and utilized nightly. Grille was used and though it did not heat up beyond 375 degrees, it cooked hot dogs and burgers well. House has everything you need. Beach supplies supplied as well. You will definitely enjoy your stay here and we are looking to book here again next year. Also, when I contacted manager with few simple questions, immediate response via email. Recommend place highly for your vacation stay!

Thank you Derrick! Glad your family chose our home for your vacation.
If you are looking for the perfect house, this is it! The house itself is stunning, and it is totally immaculate. Sometimes places look great in the pictures, and then the reality is quite different. Dune Side Escape was as pristine as they come.
We had a large family group, and we really appreciated the openness of the downstairs area. We never felt crowded for even a second. Kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry room - all perfect.
The pool area was gorgeous, and the golf cart was a great help in getting our people and our stuff to the beach.
Our family had a lovely and memorable week at Dune Side Escape, and we would highly recommend it to everyone!
This home was perfect for our family. We had three families and all the adults had their own master bedroom suite. The kids had their own spaces as well. The kitchen was fully stocked, home was beautifully decorated, and there plenty of extra amenities like towels, beach chairs, and toys. The kids loved the heated pool and the park right next door to the house. The beach is a short walk or golf cart drive away. You can walk to Blue Mountain Bakery and Blue Mountain Creamery and plenty of great restaurants are a short drive or bike ride away. Emily was amazing and extremely attentive to all our needs and details of our trip. We will definitely be back!

Thank you Kimberly! We are so glad you all enjoyed your stay. Would love to have your family back anytime!
This house is beautiful. It was perfect for our trip. We enjoyed the open kitchen living space. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials. The pool was private and we enjoyed lots of pool volleyball. There is an alarm for the door out to the pool with an added child lock out of reach. We had a toddler and this gave us a chance to let her run and play without the extra fear.
Emily was very easy to contact when we had a small issue with the washing machine and had someone out the next morning to get it fixed.
We would definitely rent this house again!
Beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and well equipped home away from home for our family of 11 to vacation! We had six adults and five kids (ages 2-10), and enjoyed large, comfortable, and beautifully decorated bedrooms with fabulous closet space and bright and beautiful bathrooms. The kitchen had everything you’d need to cook for a crew with seating for 6 at the island, and seating for 8 in the dining room. The pool was such a bonus - when the sun got too hot at the beach, we headed back to the house to swim in the pool, which is fully shaded around 2 p.m. The water temperature was so perfect you could walk right in and float for hours.
The homeowner was great to work with; we received lots of detailed and very helpful information, and responses were always received very quickly.
I just can’t say enough good things about this home - you just need to book a week or two and see for yourself!!
A huge thank you to the homeowner for creating a vacation home that was such a pleasure to settle into for a week!!
