The Sand Dunes

The Sand Dunes

8/10 Good
"We thoroughly enjoyed our week here. Easy access to beach and pool. Gorgeous view! Literally 3 doors down from center of town where some excellent restaurants are. Beds comfortable and pillows were perfect!!! The only complaint I had was the railing on the balcony. Gorgeous views while standing but if you sit all you see is the thick wide railing! It took me a couple of days to get over the frustration and disappointment but eventually I did as everything else was awesome!!! Definitely will be back next year."

"Everything was good- howeverthere was an exceptional amount of communication. All I can say was there were entirely.” too many words and too many text & emails.”. Other than that, the property was very clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. . the outside patio could use some work with furniture, decorations, etc.. the bedroom definitely absolutely needs some blackout drapes. Vacation requires sleeping in!!!! I would recommend this particular unit and might consider going back. We’ll see.."
