Looney Dunes was just as described. We are a group of nine and we had plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The teenagers especially loved the theater room. The pool and the hot tub were hits as well. We had the pool heated and were glad that we did. The ocean was beautiful, a little cold when we were there, but to be expected in May. The house was clean and well equipped. I would highly recommend booking this for your next vacation.

We had a great time in this home that had all the accommodations we needed with the heated inground pool, hot tub, beachfront property with beautiful views, plenty of dining room seating and close proximity to tourist attractions. We also had a fire pit on the beach. Owners were very prompt to respond to our questions and minimal needs.

Really enjoyed my second year staying at The Looney dunes house. The weather could have been better, but we found other things to occupy our time like shopping & eating out.

The property was great! Eight older women enjoyed each having their own bedroom & bathroom. Ate in 5 of the 7 nights and the kitchen was equipped with everything that was needed. We also ate at some nice places, Hatteras Sol Restaurant & Good Winds Restaurant. Would have liked better weather as we are all sun worshipers. We paid to have the pool heated but didn’t really use the pool much!
