Dune Eden-Executive oceanfront retreat steps from the sand!

(5BR/5.5BA,3K,1Q,2Tw,SL10, 2 golf carts, Sunday Turn in Peak Season, CHECK OUT 10:00AM / CHECK IN 5:30PM)
Only 200 steps down your private boardwalk, the warm sands of Bald Head Island's South Beach await when you stay at Dune Eden, an Executive Oceanfront retreat providing five bedrooms/5.5 baths and spectacular seascapes inside and out. The main house and crofter are cloistered around an entrance courtyard. The main home's first level houses the garages and egress to the beach access. Up the stairs, the next level proffers a deep, covered TREX wraparound porch, bayed on the seaside and furnished with a dining set as well as seating for conversation or serene contemplation of the unobstructed Atlantic views. From here, you can take the spiral staircase to the upper sundeck or enter inside. Within, this floor reveals crafted, custom details around every corner-from the elegant Cypress wainscoting to the plank flooring and original art. The three bedrooms on this level start with a roomy twin which utilizes the convenient hall full bath. The first spacious King suite renders gorgeous water tableaus, direct porch access and includes a cozy private sitting area as well as a spa-like bath with a sunken jetted tub, separate tile shower, water closet and his/her vanities. The second King suite also delights with its own en suite. A centrally-located family room completes this floor and tenders a wet bar, loads of built-ins, a decorative fireplace and porch access.
The home's top level's open floor plan is accentuated by soaring shiplapped ceilings, walls of windows showcasing dazzling Atlantic panoramas and loads of warm sunlight. The spacious, comfortable living area is anchored by another decorative large fireplace with a massive Pecky Cypress distressed wood mantel. The hub of the indoor dining space, situated in an oversize bay that provides shimmering vistas from every angle, is a custom compass table seating eight under a stylish shell chandelier. Dine here or al fresco, through the door to the sun deck, where yet another dining set and conversation area offer Atlantic breezes as well as seascapes. Back inside, beyond the dining area, a mammoth quartz island provides breakfast bar seating at each end, with a professional Viking gas cook top in the middle and plenty of prep space in-between. From the wet bar and wine cooler to the professional Viking stainless appliances-this kitchen is a gourmet's delight! The upper oceanfront King Owner's suite on this level affords a refuge with its private sitting area, porch access and luxurious spa-like ensuite. The home's crofter provides another separate sanctuary in the form of a Queen suite with not only a full bath but also a wet bar and mini fridge. There is no WiFi in the crofter of this home. The property includes use of two golf carts and WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends. For a little piece of heaven on Bald Head, book your stay at Dune Eden.

Fantastic Family Vacation
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family, three generations, gathered at Dune Eden for a week of complete bliss. The location cannot be beat and the house was not only stunning but also very well appointed. When we were not at the beach, there was plenty of room for everyone to enjoy quiet reading, puzzle solving, card games, and family meals inside or out. The boardwalk to the beach looked new and made for an easy pathway to the water. The house was immaculate and the two minor issues we had were resolved promptly by Wendy Wilmot Properties. It was an amazing week at Dune Eden!

Location and Comfort
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location on BHI with boardwalk to South Beach. Some of the furniture was a bit "tired", but serviceable and comfortable. Layout suited our family. Housekeeping did a good job cleaning and preparing for our stay. Missed an outdoor shower, and more covered porches. Staff very helpful correcting golf cart problem. Elevator welcome for move in/out.

July 2024 Stay
So happy the stair bridge over the dunes was installed makes getting to the beach sooo much easier. Disappointed about the broken umbrella on the deck was never replaced. Couldn’t use that table because of sun. Also 4 seater cart is completely missing the front wind screen, very uncomfortable to drive/ride in…

Dune Eden was Dune Heaven!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Dune Eden was the ideal home for our groom’s family headquarters during our son’s wedding weekend. Ideally located with fabulous views and access to the ocean and beach, the house provided an ideal setting for relaxing, entertaining, and camaraderie. We were pleased with the atmosphere, decor, and bedroom arrangements that afforded us both privacy for various family couples and wonderful gathering spaces to be together. We will come again!

A Great Rental for a Large Group!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a near-perfect family vacation at Dune Eden. The house is beautiful and had all the amenities we needed. We could easily walk out on the beach which was never crowded. The rooms were large and there was plenty of space for the 9 of us (plus a toddler!) to spread out and have our own space. We even had a private yoga lesson on the lower porch as we looked out at the ocean. The kitchen is large with lots of eating space and plenty of plates, pots/pans, etc. to feed a group. There was another whole living space downstairs if there are teenagers or those who may need a little privacy. We all sat together in the main living room and there was plenty of room. The WWP team was exceptional. Before we arrived, they confirmed everything and checked in to make sure that all was in order. I would definitely rent this house again and most definitely use WWP for any rentals. This is a highly professional and accommodating agency.
