Atlantic Realty

Everything was just perfect. Check in was easy. The house was just great. Location was wonderful and the beach was perfect. This was a great place to relax and enjoy the Outer Banks. We can't wait until next year.

There were three couples in our group who stayed at the Looney Dunes in August. We arrived later than expected, but the folks at Atlantic Realty were very accommodating. The value for the location cannot be beat. Corolla is a lot less developed than other areas of the Outer Banks, which was nice. The top level living space was open and perfect for cooking and socializing. We cooked most nights and enjoyed the vast counter space the kitchen island had to offer as well as the charcoal grill on site. The hammock on the middle level was perfect for reading a book in the afternoon breeze! The walk down the street to the beach boardwalk was easy and quick. We also enjoyed the walking distance of the Harris Teeter. We were a little surprised to find the sheets and towels in big plastic boxes in the carport when we arrived. Putting the sheets on was not a problem, just a different experience from properties I have rented elsewhere (outside of the OBX). We picked this property because linens were included in the price of the house - a plus when we discovered this was not always the case for other Outer Banks beach rentals. Our only complaints were that the downstairs was damp and smelled of wet dog when we arrived. A little air-ing out and air freshener did the trick, though. One couple stayed in the bunk room, on each bottom bunk. One of the ladders to the bunk beds was broken (missing hook to fasten it to the top bed) and neither guard rails on the top bunks were securely bolted. I would not have wanted to put children on the top bunks. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Looney Dunes. As I have said before - a great value! The weather was perfect, too, making for a perfect, fun and relaxing vacation!
