Great location and perfect parking

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place had perfect parking with easy access to rental. Everthing was very cleaning had nice balcony. The only disfavorable thing were the stairs going to and from the upstairs bedrooms as the steps themselves were narrow and it felt very tentative to walk on them.

Dune Allen Beach Stay

The beaches are beautiful white sand and sea grass dunes! My disappointment was that there were basically no shells on the beach, so if you are a beach comber (like me) this is not a good location for you. And the area is WAY too commercial for me so I will not be returning to this location. The property and location were GREAT so no complaints there.

my beach

This was the first time I've been to Dune Allen in my life that I wasn't staying at one of my family's homes. It was smooth and easy....other than parking: which was a bit challenging a couple of days. You may want to assign spots to assure people aren't using more than their allotted share as I only had one car vs the 2 passes I was given and had a hard time parking a couple of times...which leads me to think that there must have been people with more cars than they were supposed to have.

Dangerous Stairs!

I fell half way down the stairs my 1st night at the rental. The depth of the steps barely fit an adult size foot. I spent my first couple of days lying down icing my back and limbs which are still aching and badly bruised.

Good experience overall

Overall experience was good. 2 minutes from the beach, quiet, updated, clean - but my husband stepped on the piece of glass that was in the bedroom carpet and punctured his foot. Master bedroom can use a bed that is more solid - it was pretty loose and noisy with every turn. Overall. Great little place to stay that is a few steps from the beach and walking distance from Stinkys restaurant. We enjoyed our stay overall - rented bikes from Butterfly bike and kayak rental with free delivery and pickup from our condo, quiet and not crowded beach ,Walmart is pretty close too. Also, even though the condo is pet friendly, dogs are not allowed on the beach - which was very misleading when you book a pet friendly place.
