We really enjoyed the property! It was plenty of room for our family and easy access to the beach. The house was very nice! My only problem was the elevator did not work. I had been told that it did work. We were traveling with elderly wheel chair bound parents and the stairs were very difficult.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad Our Derby Dunes provided plenty of space and easy beach access, but we’re sorry the elevator wasn’t working as expected—especially given your parents’ mobility needs. We understand how challenging the stairs must have been and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. ~Sunny Regards, Luxury Coastal Vacations

The good: The space was more than enough for our family. The space was pretty clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed.The not so good: The elevator is listed in the description in a way that it seems guests are able to use it. It was broken when we came and we were informed by someone that helps maintain the property that guests are not supposed to be using it because it poses a danger. That was the biggest reason that we booked the property, so that was a disappointment. If you’re looking for a property with an elevator that you can use, it’s not this property.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the home, especially the spacious layout, cleanliness, and well-stocked kitchen. We’re sorry for the misunderstanding regarding the lift. The property has an exterior lift, but it is not an actual elevator and, for safety reasons, we do not allow guests to use it. We completely understand how this could have been disappointing, especially if you were hoping to have an elevator available during your stay. We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and sharing your feedback. We hope the rest of your time at the home was enjoyable, and we would love the opportunity to welcome you and your family back for another visit in the future. Sunny regards, The Luxury Coastal Vacations Team

House was beautiful inside. Great beach access. The issues were it listed for 24 guest but also listed for 28 guest. The exterior elevator did not work as listed. When I text about it was told they would get back and never did. The driveway sand caused multiple guest to get stuck. There were nails and screws all in driveway sand. One guest got nail in foot. The white walls were heavily dirty along the staircase and the railings.

Thank you for the perfect rating and for sharing your feedback about Our Derby Dunes. We're glad the house was beautiful inside and that you enjoyed the beach access. I'm very sorry for the issues you encountered. We corrected the occupancy discrepancy in the listing so the capacity is consistent. The exterior elevator should have been working and our follow-up was unacceptable — we've scheduled an immediate inspection and repair and reviewed our communication procedures with the team so that future reports are handled promptly. Our maintenance crew cleared the driveway, removed the nails/screws, and completed a thorough safety inspection; we also put a routine check in place to prevent recurrence. We arranged a deep cleaning and touch-up for the white walls and railings. We're sorry a guest was injured and hope they recovered quickly — guest safety is a top priority. Thank you for bringing these items to our attention. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and hope to welcome you back soon. Sunny Regards, Luxury Coastal Vacations

The stay was very good. The only suggestion would be to add more outdoor seating especially on the top deck. We also had issues with the air but they had someone there to service it in less than 24 hours.

The house suited our other family just fine. The location was great. We only had a minor problem that was beyond control. The washer broke down a couple of days in to our stay and was not repaired until the last day. That made us very short on towels. Some were sent, but it took a couple of days. The only true complaint we have was no dish rags or towels in that big, beautiful kitchen. Also, be sure to get your own trash bags, toilet paper, and paper towels when you stay.

The house was spacious and clean. It was very close to the beach with a short private boardwalk. The issues we had was some of the rooms didn’t have closets and the ones that did had a lock on them where we couldn’t use it. The house has two newer refrigerators but only one of them was working. It was a big inconvenience for our group of 14. Also some of the remotes for the tv was missing batteries. These were small issues but several small issues can be annoying. Overall the liked the place and had a great time.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad Our Derby Dunes was spacious, clean, and that the short private boardwalk and proximity to the beach helped make your stay enjoyable. We apologize for the inconveniences with locked closets, the second refrigerator not working, and TV remotes with missing batteries — those issues are especially disruptive for a group of 14. We will share your notes with maintenance and the owner so closet locks/keys are reviewed, the refrigerator is repaired or replaced, and remotes/batteries are checked and restocked. We appreciate the 4-star rating and hope to welcome you back to the Gulf Coast in the future. Sunny Regards, Luxury Coastal Vacations
