Great Vacation at Golden Dunes!
My girlfriend and I just had a terrific week staying at Golden Dunes! Everything was clean and well supplied so there was not much that we needed. The owner Vicki was kind and responsive and always available to answer questions or make recommendations. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect family vacation spot!
Golden Dunes was perfect for our family vacation. The house is in a great location - close to the beach and restaurants/shopping. The home is beautifully decorated and well equipped for visitors with everything you could need and the host Vicki is very responsive. The pool and hot tub were everyone's favorite! We will definitely be back!!

Great place, dog friendly!
Great property and location. The pool and hot tub were great. Also very dog friendly- has 3 different size crates on the property for your dog- also an outdoor area to secure your dog. Dog Emergency kit and clean up supplies all there. Plenty of bathrooms. Lots of outdoor deck areas- deck to see the sunset was nice!
Close to the beach, boardwalk area and the beach to drive on to see horses.
I highly recommend.

Contentment in Corolla
Everything was perfect! The house was clean and very comfortable. Lots of extra features to make it seem like home! The neighborhood was great for walking my dog and just a short walk to the beach. We fell in love with Corolla! Our host Vicky was extremely kind, caring and responsive. We are very grateful to have been able to share her home
