Property was great, view absolutely amazing. Keep in mind this is on the top floor there are a lot of stairs to carry all your belongings up and down, groceries up, taking out the trash and carrying all things you need on the beach. While we were there, there were people parking on the side right behind the parking spot which you have room but a little tight when it was trucks parked there. I have one suggestion and that would be clocks in the bedrooms. I would recommend this property and would stay here again.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the property and that the view made your stay even more special. We truly appreciate you noting the stairs — it’s definitely part of the top-floor charm, but we understand it can be a bit of a workout! We’re glad you made the most of it, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime."

Beautiful Ocean Front Views

This condo was very comfortable. The views from the living room and decks cannot be beat. Easy access to the beach made it easy to run back to the unit for a snack, lunch or bathroom. Kitchen is well equiped. Beds were comfortable. Everything clean and nicely painted.

5 Star All The Way

We enjoyed our stay so much! A fully furnished kitchen helped us to be able to have more time as a family and not having to leave the beach. We enjoyed the recreation center. Nice pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and bathroom. Very clean. All of this at a good and decent price. Possibly returning in the future.

The view of the ocean was great. Easy beach access.

Nice location. Hard to find local restaurants for meal delivery. Middle bathroom tile was a little grungy and sink was very slow, Delay in water going down the drain in the sink. Very easy access to the pool. Enjoyed the stay but suggest a professional cleaning of tile or upgrad in middle Bathroom. Master bedroom bathroom was very nice.

Wait N Sea 2022

The location was great and beds were comfortable. The unit was clean, but a little TLC on a few minor things would be good. The sliding screen was broken when we arrived, and the electric can opener didn't work. Fortunately there was a manual one. Overall, though, I must say it was a very relaxing vacation and the views and location were wonderful. I would definitely visit this unit again.

After traveling 10 hours I didn’t expect to have to put sheets on 4 beds and make them. Arrived on thanksgiving and discovered there were no basic supples. 1roll of toilet paper for each bath only. No hand soap or body wash. No Kleenex or paper towels. Being a holiday nothing was opened. TV’s in each bedroom. No cable boxes for them. The one tv has a purple line across the middle of the screen. Wasn’t able to make or receive a phone calls from inside. We’re with T-Mobile. Pillows were flat. Had to sleep with the pillow shams under them. To prop them up. Who gifts you with a welcoming pumpkin pie and no whip cream? Went to empty the trash and discovered there were no replacement trash bags. We had to go purchase trash bags. We travel and stay in homes and condo’s several times a year. We have stayed here in Ocean Dunes for the last 6 years. This was the worst in just basic supples I’ve ever experienced. It wasn't the cost of buying them for me. It was the inconvenience and the thoughtlessness of the host. I’m 78. My husbands 82. We didn’t go on vacation to put sheets on 4 beds and shop for staples. Not to mention the bathtub was dangerously slippery and the sink in the bath filled up and took forever to drain. This property was not guest friendly or welcoming.. It has issues and highly over priced.

Roaches, Roaches, Roaches!!!

This was our worst stay in an Ocean Dunes property. We checked in on Day 1 and within an hour of being there, the resident roaches came out from the kitchen and were all over the counter and floors. These were NOT palmetto bugs! I know the difference. This place is infested. We reported the issue on the next morning and maintenance was sent over to spray behind the stove. Well, whatever maintenance is using does NOT work! The roaches were out again on the next day. We had to make sure we didn’t pack any of them and bring them back home on check out day! We all felt uneasy and like this place wasn’t clean. I could tell the cleaning crew only surface cleaned things. The bedside tables were dusty and dirty, the mattress protectors had stains on them, the dryer was left with bath mats and full of sand. We didn’t even want to use it to clean our clothes, because we would just be washing and drying them in sand. I have never had such a bad experience staying at Ocean Dunes. Seacoast Rentals dropped the ball here and clearly this property is not suitable for rental. I do NOT recommend staying here, unless you want to stay with roaches at a barely clean property.
