About this property

Captain Tank's is a Grand 4BR/4.5BA Dunes Ridge Getaway with Ocean Views!

(4BR/4.5BA,2K, 1Q, 2T, SLP 8, CHECK-OUT 10:30AM / CHECK-IN 4:30PM, Saturday Turn in Peak Season)
Looking for gasp-worthy panoramas of the shimmering Atlantic? This four-bedroom, 4.5 bath Dudley Parker-built Executive retreat is perched up a wooded, winding drive-emerging above Bald Head's High Dune treetops to reveal spectacular seascapes. This home's first level offers very private front and side porches and, inside, its foyer warmly welcomes. Off of the foyer are three suites-each including its own full, private bath with granite counters and tiled showers. The first two-a King and a Queen-are light-filled rooms with generous closets and storage. The third bedroom is furnished with two Twins and offers access to the front porch. Upstairs, a vaulted-ceiling open floor plan makes the most of its walls of windows by highlighting ocean panoramas extending from Frying Pan Shoals all the way down South Beach. The bright living space is anchored by a gas fireplace, features built-ins and extends egress to the home's piece-de-resistance-its deep, covered water-facing front and side porches. You'll spend contented hours here rocking while relishing shimmering seascapes and savoring snacks as well as salty breezes at the al fresco dining area. If inside meals are your preference, you'll still be surrounded by briny views at the generous, window-surrounded dining table. Nearby a granite breakfast bar offers even more seating. The gourmet kitchen serves up stainless appliances, plenty of storage and counter space and both water and forested dune views. Down the hall, the King Owner's suite boasts additional sunlit water perspectives, its own access to the upper porch, a private office and an oversize ensuite bath with a his/her vanity, a water closet, and a large sea-glass pebble/tiled shower. This level also houses the laundry and a half bath. Conveniently located near the Island's center-close to both the beach and shops and providing access to WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends, this gem is an ideal BHI haven. The elevator is not for guest use at this property.

Great house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve stayed in many houses at Bald Head Island and really enjoyed Captain Tanks. Nice location on the dune with views of the ocean and a breeze. The house is well-stocked with beach and kitchen items, bikes, and everything we needed. Clean and well taken care of and overall in excellent condition. Easy walk or bike ride to beach access just a couple of hundred yards away. The property management company responded immediately when a golf cart had a flat tire. They fixed it up and dropped it off at the house in less than an hour.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the house. It was very close to the beach and was well appointed. The only negative comment we all had is that the pillows were really awful. It would be great if the owners could add some feather pillows to the house.

Dune Good Is Darn Good!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've rented this beautiful house several times, and it's a family favorite. The front covered porch is the perfect spot for morning coffee and an evening glass of wine. We love the view of the ocean from the porch out front, as well as the view of the dune ridge out the back. The elevator makes moving in and out a breeze. Great kitchen, wonderful master suite, and just a short walk to the beach. Well maintained over the years, always clean, and the Wendy Wilmot folks are such a pleasure to work with. A real gem!

BHI Stay at Dune Good

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming to Bald Head for 32 years with family and have never been disappointed. Weather was fantastic this year, the improvements to the BHI Club are outstanding and the beaches were amazing as always. Dune Good was a great house tucked away on Sea Holly with easy access to the entire island. Great floor plan, well maintained and the service from Wendy Wilmot was excellent.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had previously rented this property 2 years ago and had a much better experience the first stay. The house location is wonderful and overall we had a great stay and great experience with Wendy Wilmot realty. The home is under new ownership and some attention is definitely needed.

July 2018 Stay

This was our second time to stay at Dune Good. We were disappointed with this trip. The golf carts were horrible, would have preferred a 4 seat cart and 6 seat cart. The power is very low on both carts even when fully charged. One cart quit working before we even left the driveway. The gas grill did not work, empty tank when we first arrived and after changing it out, would still not fire and with a broken knob on the front. One of the rocking chairs in the patio was also broken. This is the first vacation home that we have rented that did not have beach towels or kitchen towels for cleaning. We love the island but will not return to Dune Good on our next visit.

Dune Good review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Second year in a row we have enjoyed a weeks vacation at Dune Good. Wonderful property, always clean and well maintained. The only issue was the upstairs AC which we had a problem getting the temperature down. Customer service sent several people over to try and fix the issue, even an AC repairman on July 4th, but the AC would not cool below 73 degrees. It was tolerable with fans in the bedroom and we appreciated them trying. Everything else was great. Our grandkids loved the pool and riding around in the golf carts. Another wonderful week at Dune Good.

July 2017 Stay

Our 3rd year at BHI and second at Dune Good. Love the house and the location. Has always been so clean and inviting for our family. As last year we had problems with the cooling of the upstairs area, especially the kitchen and living area but this year was worse. Couldn't get the nighttime temp below 74 degrees no matter where the Nest thermostat was set. Uncomfortable for the master bedroom. We contacted Wendy Wilmot rentals after the first night and they sent over several people, including a heating/cooling repairman right away but still had issues at night with the warmer temperatures. Hopefully they will be able to correct this problem. We dealt with it and still had a wonderful week at BHI. Very impressed with the service we received from WW Realty during our stay. Looking forward to next year!

November 2016 Stay

We very much enjoyed spending Thanksgiving at Dune Good. The house was very clean and ready for our arrival; we loved the views and the location - this is our 15th year at BHI. The interaction with your firm via email, web and app was very efficient. While we were there, we did have some issues. The electricity was not working in one of the bedrooms; we submitted a request via the app which was responded to quickly but we had already fixed the issue at the breaker box. One of the garage doors would not go up with the opener so we did it manually; no one ever responded to this request. Neither of the garage remotes worked. Lastly, none of the was very hot or stayed hot. Couple of suggestions - provide some instructions for the Nest thermostat. Also, all of the houses that we have rented have a 4 and 6 seat cart which helps with runs to the store and when friends come to visit. All in all we really enjoyed it and plan to rent Dune Good this summer. We will back in touch once we look at calendars.

Great Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great family vacation @ Dune Good! The accommodations were wonderful. Plenty of space for a large family and the home was very clean, centrally located, weather was perfect. A fantastic week was had by ALL! May I suggest considering a faster golf cart (one cart was great, the other would only move at a snails pace).

Better than the pictures

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was beautiful, clean, and full of light. Nicer than the pictures! The view from the top deck is amazing. Even in August heat, as long as there was a breeze from the ocean, you could sit there or relax in hammock all day. Nice assortment of working bikes. Plenty of chairs, beach toys, etc. Location is central and quick to market, Marina, and East Beach. We like to try different houses, but our family would happily return to Dune Good! p.s. The Wendy Wilmont Phone App came in handy many times. Nice touch!

Dune Good done good!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Dune Good was spectacular, the location, the layout, the furnishings, everything was perfection. We had a total of four adults and four teens and it was the perfect size to fit all of us. Every dealing we had with the property management team was awesome, so accommodating, so personal, so friendly. Although I'd like to keep Bald Head "our little secret", so it doesn't become too crowded, I can't help but tell everyone I know that they'll need to visit. Thanks for everything! We'll definitely be back, and will hope to stay at this same property. Chris & Kelley Gilbert

Keep Your Guests Informed!

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrived several days after Huricane Joaquin had deposited 15 inches of rain over a three day period. While no one was to blame for the weather, we felt extremely disappointed that no one had contacted us to make us aware of the conditions on the island. We kept hearing "There was some water on the Wynds." That is like saying Niagara Falls is a stream.Upon arrival, water was flooding the trams and we had to have our feet up on the seat in front of us, as water was flooding into the floor of the tram. At the property we were to stay in, water was up to my husband's knees. We couldn't get in the property and had to ride in the tram for thirty minutes while alternative plans were made. There had been no communication to us on how bad the conditions were and that things were closed down due to the amount of standing water. Better communication should be a goal in these types of situations. Those of us who don't live on the island, don't know what to expect. Making us aware of the conditions, and allowing us to decide If we stil want to come, in spite of those conditions, is only the right thing to do. We were very disappointed with the lack of communication.
