Great spot right off of 30A. Nestled in the back of a quite neighborhood, but a quick shot right across to multiple public beach access spots. Was everything you need or want.
Clean, comfortable beds & pillows, loved the mini pool outside! Community pool was not clean & was small also. We all loved the pool at house was fun!! Topsail best beach!Golf cart we all loved- was fun!

We had a wonderful stay! We had three families, six kids and six adults and we had so much room! There was room for another family! The kitchen was well stocked, the beach drive wasn’t bad either-we always had a place to park nearby beach access.

Great Experience!
The house is new and beautiful and perfectly accommodated our group of 14. The golf cart was perfect for trips back and forth to the beach and the pool was a nice refresher. You won't be disappointed with this property.

Best Staycation EVER!!!
This was a staycation for my immediate family and a vacation for our extended fam jam. The Serene Dunes House was perfect for our entire group and everyone had a blast. the heated pool came in clutch for us during the cooler weather. We enjoyed the coziness of the individual spaces and the roominess of the great area downstairs while visiting with family this holiday season. 10 out of 10 we will be back again. Thank you for all the hospitality that the crew provided for us and the help when we needed it.

We decided to take a last minute vacation and this house was available. When we arrived the lady in charge of the booking was at the house next door. She said we were the first people to rent the house. She was nice and very quick to respond. We asked her for a water hose and she had one there the next day. The house is very nice and had plenty room for four families.

Be aware!!!
We rented this house for my family for a wedding weekend. The house itself was okay but be aware of the parking and pool problems! You can bearly fit three midsize cars and the golf cart in the space provided. The first night we had the golf cart parked in the driveway behind the cars but on line of the street and it got towed. Totally ridiculous!!! It wasn’t in the street!! Also when we got there to check in the pool guy was there and told us the pump wasn’t working and couldn’t be heated! They returned the heating fee, but there was no compensation for the fact that we couldn’t use the pool even though it was advertised as an amenity of the house! I was very disappointed in the way that they handled the whole situation!
Response from VrboOwner on 14 Sept 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the parking challenges and the pool inconvenience during your stay. Regarding the parking, we email all guests an off-site parking list to provide additional options if the driveway is full. We also advise guests in the check-in email and again via text on the day of check-in that the neighborhood HOA is strict and will tow vehicles immediately, if given a reason. This is completely out of our control which is why we try very hard to give all of our guests a heads up about the HOA rules before arrival. We regret that your golf cart was towed despite these notices.
Regarding the pool, we sincerely apologize that the heater was not working during your stay. We understand this is very disappointing, but we fixed the heater as soon as the technician was available to do so. The pool heat fee was refunded because the heater was not functioning during your stay. While we regret that you chose not to use the pool due to the heater being down, the pool itself remained open and functional for your entire stay, so no additional refund was issued. Thank you for your understanding. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.
Our group contained 3 couples and children. Each couple was able to have a bedroom with an attached bathroom which worked out perfectly. The house was roomy, clean, and had room to spare. The location was great, and the included golf cart made trips to the beach easy. Overall, we were very happy. My one complaint is that once we booked the house, the online listing said “15% off any March booking.” Since we booked in March, I asked about receiving this discount and was refused since we already booked. I feel like the fact the discount said “ANY March booking,” it should have been honored.

The house was very nice and the beds were comfortable. We had a few issues. One of the bedrooms lost power in the night. We finally contacted management and the breaker box was in one of the second floor bedrooms behind a picture in the wall. We had water dripping from the top floor bathroom vent. The icemaker in the fridge didn’t work even after the repairman came so we only had ice for 3 days. The dishwasher took forever to cycle. The pool was like bathwater but the little kids enjoyed it.
Positives were the use of the golf cart to haul people and beach items. The house was very clean and roomy.
The beach is gorgeous and there were helicopters, lifeguards and drones monitoring the shark situation. We did have sharks nearby one day and had to evacuate.

Great Family Vacation Destination
We had a family reunion of 15 people and this house was perfect in so many ways. 4 king-sized master bedroom suites let everyone have their own space and the third floor kids dorm with bunk beds and extra living room and was great for our grandkids. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed - plenty of dishes and silverware. Large Toaster, blender, coffee pot that took regular filters and also had the choice of k-cups was great too. The furniture was comfortable and new. When I saw the pictures of the swimming pool I felt it was very small, but surprisingly it was one of the favorite things we liked about the house! The kids were out there at some point every day when we weren't at the beach - and it was actually big enough for all 15 of us to be in it and enjoy! The beach is very close - .5 miles away. We very much enjoyed the golf-cart (or low-speed vehicle as they call it). We made many trips to the beach with it and even to Gulf-Place for shopping and pizza and ice cream. I can't think of anything negative about this house. We love the Santa Rosa area and recommend Ft. Panic Beach and Topsail Hill Preserve State Park - so beautiful!! We will definitely return for more family vacation memories! The Itrip staff was extremely easy to work with also - although we didn't have any problems we needed their help with!!
