Great cozy house with nice amenities

Property was mostly clean - we noticed a few cockroaches outside which is fine/normal for the beach, but found one in the house which wasn't great... Other than this, the house was in great condition, clean, well taken care of, and had everything we needed to have an enjoyable stay. The showers were great, outdoor shower and hose was nice, and the golf cart was a great amenity to get to and from the beach access. The AC worked well, and hot water was good, and the living room TV was nice.

Exceptional Beach House

The property was new and in a very quiet spot easily accessible to the beach. The golf cart made traveling to and from the beach very easy and convenient. This section of Caswell was secluded and the perfect place to unwind. Can’t wait to stay here again. Can’t recommend enough

Beautiful home in quiet neighborhood, close to beach

Our stay was everything we hoped it would be. The golf cart makes a trip to the beach so convenient. We love traveling with our pups and this was a very nice house for our beach getaway. The owner was very nice and we will definitely consider staying here again when we come back to Caswell Beach!

•A Beautiful Spot By The Beach•

We absolutely loved our stay! The property is beautiful and the access to the beach is on point. The house is very spacious and feels very cozy. The only thing we would have liked better was for it to be a little cleaner. The table still had cup rings and crumbs everywhere when we got there. The bathroom had hair still in it from the previous people there and so did the bed. When we first arrived we went to use the golf cart and it died half way through the neighborhood and we spent a lot of time trying to push it back. Once we got back and charged it it then worked just fine. Overall the experience was great just a few things that could have been better. Thank you for letting us stay.

Awesome!

Clean and well appointed! We loved the modern amenities. This was a perfect house for our vacation. We have a relative that lives in Caswell Dunes and this was so convenient! The golf cart was great for mini-excursions and the outdoor area was perfect for showers, tv, scooters, lacrosse with the kids. The kitchen had literally everything and tv/wifi/wii was great too. Thank you!

Slowin’ Dune at Caswell Beach NC

Slowin’ Dune was a wonderful place to stay. We had a great vacation. It was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. There was plenty of natural light. Vacasa and the owner were very helpful with any questions we had. We made very good use of the bikes, beach chairs and umbrellas, and especially appreciated the golf cart. We could ride bikes or the cart to the beach. There were places for them to park. Walking to the beach was easy too. There is a wagon for beach equipment. The Caswell Dunes neighborhood was truly nice. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Restaurants and stores in Oak Island and Southport were easily accessible. We heartily recommend Slowin’ Dune for a very enjoyable vacation.

We loved the warm welcome of sheets on the beds, fresh towels, and cool air. The kids loved the games and the use of the golf cart made our stay extra perfect, not to mention the well equipped kitchen and big TV

A hidden Gem

The house exceeded our expectations, beautiful, well stocked kitchen, comfortable master and the addition of the golf cart was fantastic for rides to the beach. Great proximity to a lovely dog friendly beach. (At least in the off- season) My only complaint was the robotic and flawed management service Vacasa. Even with that, I would definitely return!

Lovely home - all we needed

This property is lovely. It's clean, well-appointed, comfortable, and has all the comforts of home. We loved the ability to use the bikes and golf cart to get back and forth from the beach. Since we had less-than-ideal weather when we traveled, we really enjoyed all the puzzles and games, and the smart TV came in especially handy too. You'd never know this property was pet-friendly. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Slowing Dune - two adults and two dogs

First, let me state we would definitely stay here again. Overall, the location and the house worked well for us. It is situated in a quiet neighborhood and is close to the beach access. Is it perfect? No, but close enough. Pros: The layout of this home is perfect. Large open kitchen, dining, and living room. Bedrooms are separated by location and/or shared bathroom. Super roomy showers with plenty of water pressure and hot water (instant water heater). It's decorated for the beach, but done in a tasteful, understated manner. There isn't a lot of “stuff” sitting everywhere. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of pots, pans, and all types of dishes. Many small appliances as well (toaster, kitchen aid mixer, Ninja blender, Kureg, regular drip coffee pot, and a bullet blender). Gas stove with vented microwave over it, roomy fridge, and dishwasher. Plenty of game choices including board games, cards, and some yard games. We brought our own beach chairs, but found plenty in the little garage area. The golf cart was perfect way to haul everything to the beach. The bicycles there were too tall for my wife to ride. Cons: The king sized bed in the master bedroom is absolutely the worse bed ever. It is overly soft and lumpy. We wound up moving to the queen bed just to get some sleep. The furniture in the living room is dirty and also not comfortable. The home and the whole area is pet friendly, but the rugs in the home cause me to pause. I am not sure they have ever been cleaned and our dogs would smell spots on them before moving on to another part of the room. As I said, overall the home works and we would stay here again.

Nice house, but could have been cleaner...

Overall, the house and location are really nice. The neighborhood is a quiet golf community and felt very safe. We loved the golf cart at the house and it was crucial getting to and from the beach (3 minute golf cart ride). The beach itself is fairly quiet, but it did get busy at times. The house layout is really nice and accommodated our 3 adults and 2 children well. *There is no bathtub in the house* (I somehow missed that in the listing pics). The sink in the kitchen is nice and big so if you have a baby, it would work for a bath, but it was too small for our 2 year old. The bathrooms are nicely appointed, there is ample storage in the house, and lots of hangers in the closet. The outdoor shower is one of the nicest we have ever had at a beach house - ample hot water and water pressure, nice handheld shower that was great. That was a definite highlight. However, the house felt dirty. In this current pandemic environment, I expected to walk into a sparkling clean house, but we did not. We had planned to come in and wipe down surfaces for extra precaution, but we ended up feeling like we needed to CLEAN. After finding a dirty spot on the sheets in the master bed, I wasn't convinced the linens had been properly cleaned, so we rewashed all the linens the first night. I had to wipe out the entire fridge because it was so filthy. We found small piles of dog hair on the floor and realized after a quick swipe of a wet paper towel on the floor that the floors were dirty. After all this, we didn't trust the dishes were properly cleaned so we ended up washing them all by hand before we used them, and the oven was unusable (smoked up terribly). I contacted the property manager via text and they did respond apologetically and offered to send someone in the following day, however, we did not feel comfortable with that (again: pandemic) and we had already done all the cleaning ourselves. Confirming our reservation with Turnkey was also a nightmare and took multiple texts and calls to complete. Nothing local about them. Our wifi went out while there, but they did send a "back up" sign-in that was much better than the original, un-secure wifi Turnkey provides. We will avoid Turnkey rentals from now on. This house seems new, so luckily it has that going for it, but I could easily see that if this quality of cleaning is maintained, that it will not stay "new" for long. If I were the owner I would quickly rethink the cleaning/management crew.
