Carolina Dune: An Oceanfront Retreat for Large Groups on the Crystal Coast

Last Updated: September 30, 2026

Bring the whole crew together for an unforgettable beach getaway at Carolina Dune. This new oceanfront retreat in Emerald Isle, NC is made for large groups, with 10 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms (11 full, 2 half), and space for everyone to gather, relax, play, and enjoy the Crystal Coast together.

From direct beach access and expansive oceanfront decks to a private pool, hot tub, and spacious gathering areas, Carolina Dune gives families and friends plenty of ways to relax, reconnect, and enjoy their time together.

Look through photos and start planning your group getaway on the Crystal Coast.

Group gatherings made easy

At Carolina Dune, the ocean is the backdrop to every group gathering. As soon as you arrive, the spacious living and dining areas invite everyone to spread out and settle in. Large windows fill the space with natural light, while comfortable seating and open gathering areas make it easy to relax and stay connected.

The open floor plan also gives guests room to enjoy the house at their own pace. Settle into a quiet corner with a book, turn on your favorite show, or sit back on the couch and watch the waves outside. When you’re ready for some fresh air, step onto one of the expansive decks and listen to the rhythm of the tide.

When mealtime rolls around, everyone gets a seat at the table, along with a view of the ocean. Two larger dining tables seat 26, with seating for 9 more at the kitchen islands. That means everyone can sit down together for a big family dinner or gather in smaller groups for a casual breakfast.

In the state-of-the-art kitchen, four ovens, four refrigerators, and three dishwashers make group cooking easy, while another kitchenette provides even more room to prepare meals. In the butler pantry, there are useful appliances and large cookware for added convenience. Start the morning with coffee and conversation, then reconnect over dinner as the day winds down. Afterward, head to the deck to watch the sunset before everyone turns in for the night.

A place for everyone

With 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms (11 full, 2 half), Carolina Dune has room for the whole group to settle in. Nine king beds and two bunk beds offer comfortable accommodations for adults and children, whether you’re gathering for a multi-generational reunion or a multi-family vacation. Ocean views, smart TVs, and spa-style showers round out the bedrooms and bathrooms, giving guests plenty of ways to relax between days spent together.

With 8,300 square feet to enjoy, it’s easy for everyone to create their own daily routines. Early risers can enjoy a morning stroll on the beach while others sleep in, kids can head to the foosball table or driving arcade while the adults chat, and one family can compete on the private putting green while another plays pool or shuffleboard. Families can meet up in the evening for a movie night in the home theater or stroll to the beach for stargazing on the sand. At Carolina Dune, it’s easy to carve out your own vacation style with endless entertainment at your fingertips.

Beach days and beyond

Just outside Carolina Dune, direct beach access leads you straight to our award-winning beaches. Start the morning with a walk along the beach, spend a few hours in the waves, then head back to the house for lunch. After a day in the sand, the enclosed hot and cold outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse off before the next activity or adventure.

The private pool and hot tub offer another way to enjoy the outdoors. Cool off in the pool on a sunny afternoon, soak in the hot tub under the stars, or gather around the gas grill for dinner. Outdoor speakers add to the atmosphere as you barbecue, swim, and spend the evening outside. And because Carolina Dune welcomes pets, your four-legged family members can join the fun, too.

More to explore

With its oceanfront setting in Emerald Isle, Carolina Dune puts the beautiful beaches, fun attractions, and exciting adventures within easy reach. Your group can kayak on nearby Bogue Sound, see underwater creatures up close at the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, or explore the island along the Emerald Isle Bike Path.

For a change of scenery, wander through the historic streets of Beaufort or take a ferry to see wild horses on Shackleford Banks or Carrot Island. With so much to see and do across the Crystal Coast, you can build plenty of variety into your stay.

Bring the whole crew together

Whether you’re planning a family reunion, milestone celebration, or long-overdue friends’ trip, Carolina Dune is a memorable place to gather on the Crystal Coast. With its premier oceanfront setting and welcoming spaces, it sets the stage for a getaway your group will be talking about long after you head home.
