Not the best stay we’ve had with Dune Allen Realty

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Ceiling broken around light fixtures and crown molding. Master bed rails kept falling off with little movement. Bar stool broken, holes in walls not properly fixed. Outside furniture had multiple broken pieces.

Dune Allen did nothing to help our stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had ants on the porch and palmetto bugs in the kitchen and requested someone to treat them-never happened. The microwave was not acting properly-no one came out. We had dirty towels in the washing machine when we checked in. We had weeds off of the porch and on the stairway to the beach that should have been addressed.

Overall good stay

We enjoyed our time at the condo and the location cannot be beat! The dryer in the unit does not work, but the owners were wonderful in finding a solution for that. The condo is not the cleanest, but the proximity to the beach made up for it!

Not worth the money

On our first day, the dryer did not work. Called maintenance, he responded quickly but had to order a part. So we had no clothes dryer for the entire week. The microwave over the stove was broken and replaced with a microwave in the corner , which took up a lot of counter space. The curtains in master bedroom just barely hang and do not close together. The blinds in the other rooms are cheaply made and did not close all the way, so when the sun rose every morning, you needed sunglasses to sleep. There are no curtains on the sliding glass doors in the living room, which made it awkward at night because people could see in, and also adds to the heat in the condo. The outside of the building is in desperate need of a good pressure washing. We normally enjoy having coffee on the patio in the morning, but it was gross sitting out there. No problem though, we sat in our chairs on the beach. The A.C. Froze on our last night, it quickly defrosted. My only guess is because there are no lined curtains to keep the heat out the A.C. had to work over-time. And we did not change the temperature it was set at, we followed the recommendation in the paperwork and it still froze. We stayed outside most of the day and hardly went in and out to cause a problem. The mattresses are hard and very uncomfortable, especially the master and bunk room. The only pro is that the ice maker works like a champ, it has a large bin and produces quickly. We were able to keep our ice chest cold daily.

Beautiful view of beach

Beautiful beach and condo. Great sized rooms, and beautiful views. Really enjoyed the 2 chairs and umbrella daily. Condo is so close to the beach you can see your family from the balcony. Loved eating at Stinky’s, the restaurant right across the street! Only problems were the thin walls so we could hear every step from our above neighbors. Also had some of the large public groups come into our private beach area and set up even though signs were posted. Cleaning crew didn’t do a great job, but the condo decor was very pretty.
