Hemenway Dunes

June 2019

"What a beautiful property! We had a great time and really loved the beach house!"

A Perfect Oasis

"In a word, this house is amazing! The space, views, beach access, and amenities were perfect for our group of ten ladies for a weekend escape. Arriving at the house, there is ample parking for plenty of cars, and upon entering the house, I was blown away by the gorgeous oceanfront views from the living room, kitchen, deck, and upstairs bedroom. The living room and kitchen were spacious and open, allowing plenty of hangout space for the group. The house is clearly very well maintained - the floors, kitchen, countertops, bathrooms, fixtures, etc. all appear very modern and updated. The kitchen was very well stocked with nice dishes, stemware, cutlery, etc. Even the towels were fresh and fluffy! This is far and away the best beach rental I’ve experienced! "

Awesome!!!

"I asked my 13 year old daughter- how should I title this review? And she promptly answered “awesome” and “time of our life”! And I must say I have to agree with her. We spent a wonderful week here with our best friends who are another family of 6. Kids ranged from 4-14. The house was absolutely perfect. The proximity of the beach with its own private walkway was the best part! There was a fruit basket to welcome us from the owners and a clean, beautifully decorated house to greet us. There were outdoor games and a grill which we made use of! It was very comfortable for all us and we made fantastic memories! The kitchen was also extremely well equipped. We hope we can spend another fun filled week here! Thank you for offering this beautiful house up for others to enjoy! "

Newly Updated Home with Awesome Ocean Views

"We were pleasantly surprised when we walked into Hemenway Dunes. The views from the open kitchen and living area are awesome! Kitchen was very well equipped and we cooked several meals here. The grill was also a welcome addition. Bedrooms were comfortable and the bathrooms were also updated and clean. The deck has both covered and open areas and also a high top table which we used for cocktails and snacks. Under the house, there is a nice area for playing corn hole and for sitting while grilling. This home is beachfront with a wide stretch of beach. The house is uncluttered and fresh which was really nice! We had a few issues that were either resolved quickly by the team at Access or at least addressed. A few suggestions would be to put in an outdoor shower and a spigot to rinse your feet as you come off the beach. It's advertised that there are two outdoor showers and there are none. The addition of these would greatly reduce sand from being tracked into the house. The air conditioning vents in the master and queen room on the first floor did not function as well as the other bedrooms. The dishwasher also gave us some trouble since it locked and we couldn't use it the last day despite the maintenance man trying to remedy the problem. I would also recommend some smaller glasses. There are plenty of wine glasses and goblets, but nothing smaller. This is a very nice and comfortable home and I would definitely consider renting it again. Access was very helpful with everything! "

Ultimate relaxation with one amazing view!

"This beach house really has it all. It manages to be both beautiful and functional, offering any amenity you may need, while also having a lovely and soothing design. But the greatest aspect is the view! There is nothing quite like waking up, walking out into the kitchen, and seeing that beach view right out your window. The private access to the beach off the house is amazing. No more going to the beach and having to pack anything and everything you might need because heaven forbid you have to go back to your car miles away, or use some sketchy public restroom. Being able to just stroll back to the house for a snack or drink was incredibly nice and made the experience that much more relaxing, cutting the worry out of the picture. Everything about this house is worth it and I will continue to come back and highly recommend a stay here!"

Watch the Dolphins Swim By!

"This beautiful, sparkling, completely renovated ocean front home is the perfect spot for a beach vacation. Plenty of room for everyone- the bedrooms are nicely furnished, very comfortable, and everything is brand new! The master bedroom has a private balcony perfect for sitting with a glass of wine and watching the sunset. Lots of room to cook and entertain in the fully stocked, shiny new kitchen and family room with ocean views from both. A large deck runs the length of the back of the house- all the way down to the beach- with part of it covered for those who might need a little shade but still want to be outdoors to enjoy the ocean view. Plenty of seating as well as built in benches near the beach access where we enjoyed our morning coffee and watched the dolphins swimming close by! A perfect stay and highly recommend!"

A GREAT BEACH HOME!

"Most beach rentals I have experienced in the past have felt like just that... a rental. They were properties trying to pack in as many people as possible. Hemenway Dunes was different. This property feels like a home. The furniture and bedding is of great quality (and super comfortable!), the media room downstairs was something I have not seen in other properties, and how can you beat the view out of the living room and top bedroom?!? The outside deck and patio below encourage relaxation and the beach access is second to none. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and homey getaway on North Topsail Beach!"
