Perfect house for our family of 4 and our dog. Very well kept and close to beach.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
Absolutely wonderful week at this home! Bear Trap Dunes is a quaint, quintessential neighborhood with flat, tree lined streets and picture perfect homes. The one-level home is spacious and dog friendly - I expected some residual pet odors but each and every time we walked into the home it smelled clean. The linen package provided all sheets and towels which was a bonus. The kitchen was fully equipped with anything and everything. The master sits right off the living room and the other two bedrooms are in the front of the home with their own full bath. We were surprised with bicycles, beach chairs, boogie boards, etc. that made our trip more fun. The screened in back porch was the highlight of our mornings. It’s about an 8 minute drive to the beach - away from the hustle and bustle but just close enough. The pools are nice, as well!A couple things to note (nothing that would keep us from returning): There were no blackout blinds or curtains in any of the bedrooms so my young children were waking with the sun every morning (if you have a child in a pack n play, the master closet is large enough and very dark!). The master bed was super soft (fine for me, not my husband!). The living room lacks seating compared to all the beds available in the home. You have to pay to access the pools. Thank you for a great week!

Enjoyed the house very nice. House pretty much had everything that was very helpful. Definitely would recommend this home to stay at Bear Trap Creek.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
The house was spacious and the dinning table was a large size to accommodate 8 people. The kitchen and bathrooms were well appointed with a lots of attention to details if a bit dated. People were friendly in the community and the community amenities were great but pricey. It would be nice to have beach chairs or umbrellas for your use. It was a challenge to wash off the sand. PS: bring a fly swatter.
