Reviewer Comments:
Our stay at Mare Dunes in the Palm Bay Village Condominium was absolutely wonderful! The unit was immaculate, and every one in our group loved the condo which had plenty of room for our family. The bedrooms were extra large and had comfy beds for a good nights sleep. The family room and kitchen area are nice and offer plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy a nice movie and enjoy a delicious meal prepared by the chef in your family. The resort style pool is a definite plus especially if you would like to unwind after a day at the beach. The outdoor patio offers a nice view of the resort style pool and offers a tranquil area while enjoying your morning coffee. We will definitely book again especially since we love our trips to the coast!

Upon arrival at Mare Dunes, we were so delighted to see that the unit was very clean and the check in process was easy. We have stayed at different units on the property, and this is definitely one of two favorites. The unit is stocked with all the kitchen items needed in order to cook a family meal or if you like there are gas grills on the property for guests to use. The condo also has a very nice patio that you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee or read a good book while listening to the waterfall from the resort style pool. The rooms are very spacious and offer nice comfy beds for a good night's rest. The complex is located on Padre Island and there is plenty to do with just a short walk or a short drive. We look forward to staying at Mare Dune's in the near future.

Loved that the condo had a garage and that it was located by the pool for easy access for the kids. Condo was a bit dirty. Easy access to beach. Kitchen could have used new pots/pans. Pool was nice, but dirty with sand/debris.
