Look up our reviews of Nomad Dunes on all of the booking platforms. Here is what some of our past guests have said:
James - May 2025 - Airbnb 5 stars We just got back from our stay at Nomad Dunes & wow—we’re still talking about it. The house is gorgeous, super clean, & had literally everything we could need (& then some). From the comfy beds & stocked kitchen to the heated pool, hot tub, & arcade room—it was the perfect mix of relaxation & fun. The location is something out of a movie. Waking up to the sound of the ocean, drinking coffee while watching wild horses wander through the yard, & ending the night stargazing from the hot tub... unreal. You do need a 4x4 to get there, but it’s totally worth the adventure. Mike & Chelsea were awesome hosts—great communication, super helpful, & clearly care about making your stay amazing. If you’re even thinking about booking this place—just do it. You won’t regret it.
Sara - August 2024 - Airbnb 5 stars Our stay at Mike & Chelsea’s home was absolutely perfect. From the moment we booked, the communication was outstanding—Mike & Chelsea were incredibly responsive & made sure we had all the information we needed for a smooth check-in & a comfortable stay. The home itself is simply beautiful. Every room is thoughtfully decorated, & the space is impeccably clean & inviting. We were impressed by how well-equipped the house was—everything we could possibly need was provided. Mike & Chelsea truly went above & beyond to ensure we had an exceptional experience. We can't recommend this place enough!
Devin - Jan 2025 - Airbnb 5 stars Mike & Chelsea’s home was beautiful! We had a great stay at Nomad Dunes. There was plenty of things in the home to keep everyone entertained- even for our cold winter stay! The views were gorgeous & the rooms were comfortable. Mike & Chelsea were great hosts that answered questions quickly & provided more things for guests in an AirBNB than I’ve ever seen- if you’re familiar with the 4X4 area- that was so very important & convenient to not have to worry about bringing a million things with us to the area. The horses came right up to the house every morning while we had our coffee, the location was great! Perfect stay if you are looking for a wonderful home in Carova Beach! _______________________________ ★★BEDROOMS★★

Michael was amazing with communication when I booked, leading up to, and during our stay. The property was perfect for an escape weekend with an amazing proximity to the beach. Amenities were top tier and we had more than we could have asked for.
We had an absolutely amazing time. I’m so thankful that the host were able to accommodate our last second travel plans for this much-needed weekend getaway. Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend and an absolute amazing property. We will definitely be staying again thank you very much.
Wonderful location, house, and hosts. Our family vacation could not have been better. The house was well equipped for large groups and a short distance from the beach. It was so awesome when the horses came by the house nearly every day during our stay. We would love to come back again someday!

Thank you so much. I'm glad the home had everything you needed!
First off, incredible house. Its HUGE! We were here for 2 nights, the place was so clean and we had an absolute blast. Check out process was simple, clean up after yourself, lock the doors, leave the beds as is. Finally, a place that we can enjoy and not have to strip every single bed, and clean every grain of sand.This host was attentive, caring, and just overall chill!They have a newely installed sauna, you gotta try it out, its freaking awesome. It takes about 15 minutes to warm up to a nice temp, then its sweating time! Can't forget the hot tub. Its big enough to fit 6 people, we had an absolute blast especially since it was chilly outside! There is 2 kitchens!! The main kitchen is absolutely stunning, beautiful high ceilings, huge windows, 2 dish washers, all the pots and pans anyone could ever need. We had an absolute blast. This place was a gem!! Highly recommend, thank you so much for hosting us.

Great place to get away!
I've stayed in a lot of beach houses from NC to Florida. I can't remember a better experience. First the house is wonderful. Everything you want/need plus a ton. I hate staying at a house and the first thing I need to do is go buy laundry detergent or something. Didn't have to do that here. If I say everything cool about the house, I'll be here awhile. It's a perfect place to get away from civilization so if you are on the fence, just do it.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home in Corolla. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. We used the hot tub and fire pit almost every night—such a great way to wind down after a day at the beach. Speaking of the beach, it was just a short, easy walk away.One of the highlights was seeing wild horses wander right into the yard—such a unique and unforgettable experience! Mike and Chelsea were fantastic hosts—attentive, responsive, and genuinely committed to making sure our stay was perfect.We can’t wait to come back!

I'm glad you enjoyed our family beach home! I cant wait to have you back. The new fire pit has been a major hit.
We loved staying in this beautiful home, big enough and very comfortable for 7 adults(plus more!) plenty of outdoor spaces and great indoor spaces for big family dinners and games!
It was great having all the outdoor beach equipment to borrow! We had perfect weather and gorgeous sunrises!
Definitely need a 4x4 to get to the property. And we were happy to see the wild horses roaming.
We will definitely be back!
