This property was perfect for our trip! Everything was very clean and well-maintained, and it was pet friendly. The rental company gives you plenty of information about the area and is very helpful and responsive. The beach wasn’t crowded at all! I will definitely be returning!
Location of the property was great. Leaving the parking area was a little challenging. Floor was sagging in a few locations and needed repair. Having a washer/dryer was great, as well as beach towels provided. 4 beach chairs were to be provided, but there were only 3. Not bad overall, but could have been better.
Flooring was in disrepair fans did not work correctly in bedrooms and bathroom with tub was peeling paint in the tub! I will not recommend this place.
Unit was very clean. Nicely furnished. Parking is very tight. Beach was very close and not crowded. Pet friendly and my dog was comfortable too.
Dunes Cottages is clean and quiet 2-story, 12- unit apartment building right off of the beach. Our family of three adults had a relaxing weekend at the beach. Conveniently located 100 feet from the beach, we enjoyed walks to the bridge and to the pier. We cooked breakfast and lunch in the apartment, then enjoyed dinner at local restaurants. Great way to visit the beach.
When making the reservations for the condo we were told no early check ins to make sure the cleaning crew has time to get all the units clean. We did not have a problem with this, however upon arriving we found that the condo was not very clean. There were mouse droppings in the cabinet under the kitchen sink. There were also some in the refrigerator. I'm not sure how that happen except that the cleaning crew could not be cleaning with sanitation in mind. One of the showers had obviously not been cleaned in sometime since the floor of the shower was turning pink. The kitchen cabinets had dirt on them, ceiling fans and dust vents were covered in dust. I did message the manager about some of these issues and they did send someone to clean and they also refunded my cleaning fee, but honestly if I had the extra money we would not have stayed in that condo. Our stay there was very short, and I would not stay here again. The bathrooms were very small and there was no room on the sink to place toothbrushes, curling irons, etc. All of the soap dispensers had dish detergent in them instead of hand soap. The floor had a few very soft spots through out. The parking lot was awful. There was no where to turn your vehicle around and if you have an oversized truck you may have a hard time parking, or even getting in the parking lot. Now the good things......There was a nice path to the beach. The AC was great, and the hot water was very hot.
The property was very clean, stocked with most everything that we needed, and a hop, skip, and a jump to the beach. The only suggestion I might have is that hand soap in the bathrooms be provided for guests in the future.
Great place, great location, great weather and great support staff when there was an issue (it was resolved within hours).
Very nice place right on the beach. Would definitely stay again if I am in the area. Owners were able to accommodate an early check in for a reasonable fee. Thanks again!
Beautifull beach, we loved it
This place was amazing! From the moment we opened the door, newly decorated, modern, exceptionally clean, smelled clean, the feeling of this place was so comfortable. The memory foam mattress was more comfy than my own bed at home. They had everything we needed from toilet paper to garbage bags. They even had laundry pods for us, I used my own but you just don’t find places like this that help with necessities that you may have forgotten about. Beach towels and chairs were also there for our use. The beach is so close and more private and quiet from where we usually go. I wish we could’ve stayed longer. I can’t Thank them enough! We’ll be back!
