Decent but wouldn’t rent again
The location is the winner here. It’s half a mile from the boardwalk, an easy walk on the beach, and there’s a cute little mini mart/bodega 2 minutes away. The house itself is a bit dated, and to be frank the owners seem cheap. We paid a BUNDLE for this, and while the pool and location are lovely, we had internet problems the entire time, the fridge water dispenser was clogged with mold and I feel strongly that the water filter in it has never been changed based on the flavor of the ice. We had to make our own beds when we got there, the only thing provided was watered down hand soap (we knew we had to bring toiletries obviously but most places at least have mini soap bars), we had to bring our own beach towels, they had a few extra blankets around, but not enough for the amount of people they claim to sleep. The upstairs air vents dripped condensation the entire time and there was mold around them, and the elevator is a terrifying death trap. We didn’t have a broom for a couple of days, but one was dropped off after I texted the manager, but no one told me it was coming. There are multiple air mattresses provided but we didn’t try those. One of the “beds” in the living room is a rock hard ottoman that folds out and is half broken, we had to prop it up with a hard suitcase- thankfully a lightweight child was the only one using it. Overall it’s decent, the beds were comfortable and it’s a great location, but not a place that’s worth the price they’re charging.

Solid place
Place was as roomy as advertised and comfortably fit 5 couples. It’s very vertical with lots of stairs. The elevator is a bit dinky and mostly useful for packing and unpacking but it’s really great for that. The beds were not made when we got there which annoyed everyone. The view is indeed beautiful. The place was overall great, and accommodated our friends trip really well.

Wonderful Weekend at Carolina Beach
We stayed here for a friend’s low key bachelorette beach weekend and it was absolutely perfect. Spacious, beachfront, and the pool is great to have. Walking distance to a bunch of beach restaurants and businesses. Would love to stay here again if I find myself at Carolina Beach.

Amazing property!!! We had a wonderful time with very few constructive criticisms, but those critiques need to be communicated: the floors needed to be mopped and the windows needed to be cleaned. There are not nearly enough eating utensils. This house sleeps 14, but we didn't have enough forks for the six of us. I went full on Viking with a two-pronged carving fork and a butcher knife to eat steak. Made for a cool picture, but for the price of this rental, we really should've had proper utensils. The swing on the second deck needs to be replaced and one of the loungers poolside as well. Very minor inconveniences, but like I said, for the money, these items shouldn't be an issue at all. Loved our stay!!!

Location was perfect! The size of the home was also great for a large family gathering. It was very nice to have three master suites. Our only negative was the condition of the pillows and comforters on the bed. They were very stained. The home did not have beach or pool towels and we ended up buying some. This property was very close to lots of restaurants and we loved watching the dolphins play every morning from the deck. Overall we had a great family get together.

Easy Access
Great location. The weather was terrible but we cannot control that. We did have a problem with the two of the bathrooms having their GFI outlets not working. One of the doors on the upper level out to the patio was extremely hard to open and another on the upper level patio was rotted. Both need some attention. The stove could use replacement as well. But everything was perfect. Great place on the ocean. Close to everything. The caretaker was also on vacation but did send someone over to help with the problems. Definitely recommend this place for future stays.

Great Place!
We really enjoyed our stay at Sandy Dunes. The floor plan was perfect for our group, the location was perfect, and only steps to the beach. The heated pool was a real bonus for our group because the weather was cool. The property manager is quick to reply and super friendly. High marks for this property. I could see renting both sides for a giant family reunion.

WHS friends reunion
Eight women stayed at the property. There is ample sleeping space with 3 suites and two other bedrooms. The multiple Floors make sleeping and getting ready very easy and you can get away from traffic. Justus was our go-to guy and he was fantastic. He took care of our every need. The pool was heated to 85 and we spent every afternoon there. The location is good, .6 mile North or south to bars, eating. The home is totally sound proof. We would definitely stay here again.

We found the house not well cleaned in some areas. The bunk bed looked as if someone just got out of it. Mattress on the floor. Dirty showers. Bed bugs on the bed in a room. The bed had blood stains on sheet and pillow. This combination things . led to us leaving.

Nice house.
Nice house in a nice location. The pool was a very nice option with children. The only complaints were the cleanliness. The floor was very gritty with sand upon arrival. We had to sweep. Black gunk came out of the bath faucets when we went to brush our teeth. When we wiped the faucet , the underside had black gunk on them like they had not been cleaned in quite some time. Same with the vents. The cleaning staff needs to use a brush attachment on the sweeper to clean the vents.

Terrific Trip
Our group of 12 ladies came for a reunion long weekend. We absolutely loved being ocean front and having a heated pool this time of year. The house, golf carts, and views were fabulous😊 Several in the group commented how well the house was insulated and “neighbor noise” was not a problem! Jessica (property manager) was always delightful and easy to talk to and quick to respond. The six seater golf cart was the bomb! Highly recommend this place and Carolina Beach and surrounding area is charming, friendly, and safe🏖🌴

This is a wonderful beachfront home on Carolina Beach, good location, the pool is perfect, views are great. The elevator makes unloading the car a breeze. Always received a quick response from the owner on any questions I had before the check-in. We rented the golf cart with the home and it was great, we were able to park our car and use the golf cart to get around to the shops and restaurants. We’ll definitely be back!

Weekend getaway
We enjoyed our stay but there were a few things that were an issue. The tub jets did not work in any of the tubs, the refridgator was not clean, the lights on the balcony to the living room did not work and one was hanging down(fire hazard). I understood that I would have access to the elevator but it was locked. Some of the TVsin the bedrooms did not have their remotes so we couldn't use them. I understand this is a rental and it is impossible to control those that rent from you so I just want to make you aware. We really did enjoy our stay, you have a beautiful set up and we greatly appreciate your hospitality. I would reccomend your rental to my family and friends!

We are in LOVE with Sandy Dunes South1
Wow! There are 8 of us ladies that have been getting together once a year at Carolina Beach for the last 29 years. These 8 ladies travel from all over NC to get together to laugh and lie on the beach and rent a pontoon boat and ride around in a golf cart and shop and enjoy the Carolina Beach restaurants. We took a chance and went VRBO with Sandy Dunes for 2019. I had had no experience with a VRBO property. It was wonderful!!!!! I booked this property ONE YEAR in advance as after our 2018 beach trip at CB we all went to visit Sandy Dunes South and loved it so much I booked it the next day! Ian - owner of the home and Jessica, property manager and Ian's daughter were beyond wonderful to work with! It was seamless........well until the day of our arrival!!!!! OH NO!!!!! Hurricane Dorian was headed right for Carolina Beach!!!! But Ian and Jessica to the rescue! They allowed us to check in the day after the hurricane as thank goodness there was no damage to their beautiful home. They also extended a day at the end of the trip to allow us the four day reservation we had originally scheduled a year ago. This house is AMAZING! So beautiful. Love the elevator. Love the large spacious decks over looking the ocean. The living and dining area are all open concept and gave us 8 ladies plenty of room to cook and come together at the dining table to share a meal! I have requested to reserved this very property again the very same time in 2020. We were ALL thrilled with Sandy Dunes and can't wait to get back to Carolina Beach in 2020. Thank you Ian and Jessica!!!! An EPIC GBW 2019 thanks to you!!! (girls beach weekend!)
