Lovely home on the canal.
Very clean and well maintained property. We enjoyed sipping coffee and cocktails under the large covered patio overlooking the canal. Fished a little too. Short walk to the beach. We’ll be back and hopefully bring a boat next time. Excellent location!

Absolutely perfect
Our stay was fantastic. Excellent hosts and perfect location and property. We were right on the channel with a short walk and access to public beach area. We brought fishing and crabbing gear and my boys were able to spend their time doing what they love. We also brought our paddle boards and were able to explore the channels. Home was newly renovated, clean and had everything we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Berard and David McLean

Host profile image
Dawn & David are local to the area and love travel and adventure. From boating to diving, beach days to fun filled nights, tranquility to excitement. Together we own multiple properties in places we love so that we can use them when we are not sharing them. We have a farm close by with donkeys and horse on 17 acres, a downtown urban historic building for the nightlife and culture, a mountain escape on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Spruce Pine, NC on 12 acres for the starry nights and an unplugged experience, and now have added our last and likely favorite property that combines it all! Welcome to Dock & Dunes!

Why they chose this property

We are on a deep water canal with a private boat ramp and a 4 minute walk to the beach, with water on both sides, and access to boating what more can we ask for... how about a few cool night life spots not far away, restaurants, and shopping, a close by pier and tons of places to explore by land or sea. Dock and Dunes has it all in a great beachy bright place with tons of room for family and friends.

What makes this property unique

Canal front, deep water, ocean steps away and allows pets, includes free linens and beach towels! fully stocked kitchen, new appliances, stainless steel Wilmington Grill.... really too much to note here. You really must check out our newest place! It will not disappoint!
