It was an easy and seamless process booking an apartment for my holiday on Houfy. The best aspect was that there were no extra costs. I saw the same place for more on other websites and saved money booking through Houfy. It really makes a difference and you can spend the additional saved money on experiences and/or tours.

Easy and seamless process

Houfy provided me with links to all communications with our host, allowed me to review the rental anytime and pay for our vacation without having to go back through and reenter info. The contracting practice was all online so I didn’t have to do any paperwork after the fact. Happy with the outcome!

Our dream to own a home on OBX became a reality in 2020 when we purchased Golden Dunes, formerly Windancer.   We used a property management company for the 2021 season, but decided to self manage beginning with the 2022 season, as I have recently retired and have the time and desire to put into self managing.  

I live near Annapolis, Maryland with my husband, daughter and 3 golden retrievers.   I plan to begin breeding my goldens in 2023, another long time dream of mine.    You may have guessed, the name Golden Dunes it a bit of a play on words.  

I look forward to sharing our home with you and hope that you and your dogs find Corolla to be as magical as we do.
