Summary of reviewsLoved staying at Ocean Dunes with magnificent views, clean unit, and great amenities. Balcony overlooking the ocean felt like home, making our vacation perfect!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Sep 2025
The condo could have been cleaner. The AC vent was very dusty for one thing. The setup of the condo was very good. Some of the furniture and accessories were a bit antiquated (light over dining room table! What was that?). The closeness to the ocean and the outside deck was amazing. That kind of washed out the bad stuff!All in all, was a great stay! Would stay again and recommend to family and friends.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Sep 2025
The location was beautiful!! Uncrowded beach, it was clean and the property and beach area were well maintain. The unit was very cute and comfortable with all the amenities. I especially appreciated having the washer and dry onsite.Negative:bathroom rugs and shower liner were disgusting. Shower liner was mildewed. I washed them both and the rugs came out clean, and most of the mildew came out of the shower but it needs to be replaced. These should be items that are addressed between occupancies. Some dishes and silverware were dirty and had to be rewashed before use. All could be resolved by observance and a little extra care from the cleaning crew.Pillows in main bedroom did not have sanitary pillow covers under the pillow cases. I felt that was really gross. The pillow cases didn't cover the entire pillow and kept sliding off. I'm a germaphobe and didn't appreciate this lapse.Beach furniture was old, falling apart and uncomfortable. Beach furniture should not be listed as an option if this is what is offered. I would have been glad to bring my own if I had known. I had to go buy a chair at pricey beach cost to enjoy my time on the beach.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2025
This conde was perfect for me, my husband, and our two kids-4 & 2 years old. Right on the beach and the boardwalk is adjacent to the building! Easy parking right under the building and everything we needed in the kitchen. It was nice to have a full kitchen and washer/dryer in the unit. The unit is a bit dated, but more quirky than problematic. For example the bed in the primary bedroom is really squeaky and the blender was from the 70s, but we made all of that work just fine. We enjoyed the outdoor pools and the indoor pool was a nice feature! We would definitely return.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2024
The location of the condo was the only positive of the stay. The condo itself was not kept well. There was rotting wood on the steps, doors didn’t lock well, repairs done prior were done really poorly, almost every chair inside and out was wobbly. It just felt like even though it hasn’t been updated that it should have at least been up to date on repairs And they should’ve been done well. And everything should be working at top notch. I won’t be staying here again. And it honestly makes me wonder about the rental company And their other properties. Are they all just good pictures done well online and not great in person? I won’t be finding out.
