HOW OUR GUESTS ARE STAYING

Our family had an amazing stay at Golden Dune Getaway! The backyard is the star of the show. Our kids barely wanted to leave. The pool was perfect for the little ones and the outdoor games kept everyone busy. Plenty of seating to actually relax while the kids ran wild. The whole setup felt like a private resort. The location was great too, being close enough to both the beach and downtown. Highly recommend this place to any family heading to Wilmington! Thanks for a great stay.

I stayed here with a group of 12 women for my sister’s bachelorette party and we all loved it! The house is just as described and matched the pictures and Grant was a super helpful and responsive host. Location was good as well, pretty centralized and easy drive to all the places we wanted to go. Would definitely recommend!

I’ve stayed at over 100 air bnb spots in this was easily the best one I’ve ever been to! Such a fun spot, the backyard was absolutely epic!! Great host, loved our stay and will absolutely be back! Thanks so much Grant!!

This Airbnb was absolutely fantastic. In all the years I’ve stayed at Airbnbs, I’ve never experienced one that felt this exceptionally clean and thoughtfully cared for. Every single space was comfortable — from the couches to the beds — and the pillows were amazing! You could truly tell there was so much care and attention put into every detail of the home. There honestly wasn’t a single thing we were disappointed with. We would absolutely stay here again!

We had such a fun stay Cowboy Casa! Grant was helpful in allowing us a discount for the night before our stay to ensure that we could check in as soon as our early flights landed. He checked in daily and was responsive when we had issues with the dishwasher and the propane for the fire pit. The location felt safe and was away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Austin, but still a quick (25/30) minute uber to many attractions. Thank you Grant!

Nathan & Jamie

For what we were looking for as a family this fit perfect! The Pickleball court was a hit. It wasn’t quite warm enough yet to get in the pool though I loved the way they designed it. Maybe one of my favorite Airbnb backyard spaces we’ve stayed in in a while. The inside was just as described as well.

Chad S.

Grant was extremely accommodating, recommended some amazing add ons, and the house was amazing. Comfortable, pool and yard were great. Cannot recommend enough. Only regret is that we didn’t have more time to spend in Austin! 10/10 stars!

Grant is one of the most responsive hosts I’ve experienced on Airbnb! Their place is the ultimate spot for perfect girls weekend. I stayed here for my bachelorette and it was everything we could have asked for. Karaoke, pool, hot tub, big kitchen, comfy beds, the perfect balcony for some yoga/mat pilates. The list goes on and on. His communication was proactive and timely. I would love to stay here again!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why book direct instead of Airbnb or VRBO?

Booking direct means lower fees for you, faster communication, and perks our OTA listings can't offer (early check-in when available, repeat-guest discounts, occasional welcome upgrades.) Same homes, same standard, better deal.

Can you arrange concierge services like fridge stocking, decorating, or group transportation?

Yes! We partner with vetted local partners to arrange pre-arrival fridge stocking, in-home decor for birthdays and bachelorettes, private group transportation, and other curated services. Booking direct unlocks partner discounts you won't find through Airbnb or VRBO. Just let us know what you need after your reservation is confirmed and we'll handle the rest!

Is booking on this site secure?

Yes. All payments are processed through Hospitable Property Management software using bank-grade encryption. We never see or store your card details. You'll get a confirmation email immediately after booking with your full reservation details.

What's your cancellation policy?

Most properties offer a 30-day flexible cancellation window. Specifics vary by property and season — you'll see the exact policy on each listing page before you book. If your plans change, reach out as early as possible and we'll work with you when we can.

What's included in my stay?

Every property comes with high-end linens, fully stocked kitchens, premium amenities, fast wifi, and a curated local guide for the neighborhood. Cleaning is included in your booking total. No hidden fees.

How does check-in and check-out work?

All check-ins are self-guided via a smart lock or keypad code you'll receive 24 hours before arrival. Check-in is 4 PM, check-out at 10 AM. Early check-in or late check-out is sometimes possible, just ask.

Are pets allowed?

Pet policies vary by property. If a property isn't marked "pet-friendly," it doesn't accept pets.
