At Dockside Dream, our mission is to provide our guests with an unforgettable vacation experience. We believe that everyone deserves to escape the stresses of everyday life and enjoy some time in a beautiful, relaxing home in a wonderful community.
We want you to feel as comfortable in our home as we do, and enjoy all the Outer Banks has to offer.
Our house name is driven by our vision, to help make our guests' vacation a reality by providing an excellent place to base their adventures.
We have a dock at the home providing a place to tie up or launch your paddling equipment into the miles of deep canals that lead directly to a large harbor and sound access.
Our home is well kept by our own private cleaners, and is inspected regularly by your owners. We stay here too and love every minute of it. We want to have guests experience what can't be had with an ocean side stay, but still get there easily (7 minutes and one light away). We want to make you happy to be here and want to come back again and again.
We are tourists at heart, and have resided in vacation destinations from Gold Coast Beach Cities, Pacific Coast Destinations, Mountain Ski Towns and Resorts, to Midwest Boating Country. Our experience spans over 25 years in hospitality related work. Why build a home and then rent it? Are we crazy? Maybe...but that's because we love taki
We are tourists at heart, and have resided in vacation destinations from Gold Coast Beach Cities, Pacific Coast Destinations, Mountain Ski Towns and Resorts, to Midwest Boating Country. Our experience spans over 25 years in hospitality related work. Why build a home and then rent it? Are we crazy? Maybe...but that's because we love taking vacations as much as we enjoy helping others have their own memorable vacations as well.
We were Outer Banks visitors long before we built our new home. We chose our location as it offers the best value, attractions that aren't found on the beaten path. We strive to stand apart with excellence in services and amenities, and appointed to a standard of comfort expected of the finest accommodations in the area.
We hope you enjoy your stay with us as much as we enjoy being there ourselves. We love it here!
