Disappointed in Maintenance
This is the same property that we rented in back in 2022. I left messages with the management company at that time that the toilet was running in the master bedroom and that the drywall needed repair in a few places in the home. This time the same issues were present and an issue with ants. This leads me to believe that some one is not paying attention to these reviews or someone does not care about the feedback of customers.

September stay
The property has a great location and overall is good. Needs to have some maintenance done. Water stains on ceiling in master bathroom as well as closet. Air vents were very rusty. Couldn’t access the Spectrum TV in living room. End of season so carpets need to be cleaned. Nice kitchen and living area

Great location
We arrived at the condo a little after check in time. Code to door didn't work. It was 95 degrees out and we had two littles and refrigerated items. Finally after talking to VRBO 15 min they had the owner call us. We went through several passcodes to no avail, finally he gave us one that worked. He was very nice, gave me his direct number and answered when I called later. The guest bed sags in the middle, no spatula and other necessities in kitchen, needs pots, pans, casserole dishes, strainer, large pot, only has, one small pot, one pan, one casserole dish and 8 pot tops. Place was very clean,. Living room furniture new but not comfortable.

Home away from Home
This was a much needed vacation for my husband and we came along for the ride. Pleasantly surprised how amazing the view was to wake up too and during sunset. Also so close to many kid friendly activities that made my life easier as a mom. We didn't want to leave. Beds were very comfortable. Only negative was that the toilets kept auto flushing and made it hard for me to fall asleep. My family would definitely rebook a longer vacation here for sure and have more time to do everything. Well worth the 6hr drive.

Wedding in family
Table in bedroom broken, dishes where dirty, shower head sprayed everywhere, bed did not sleep well, table wobbled, all pans scared up and liners coming out, Needed at least two lights in the bedroom (lamps) Me and my husband both wear C-pap’s and I had no where to sit mine on my side of the bed. The location and check in was great!!!. Just needs alot of updates.

Rain and Sun
We arrived on Monday to full sun and got on the beach as quickly as we could. Everything in the condo was exactly as we expected, so we did not have to worry about anything there. Tuesday was pretty much a washout as far as outdoor activities were concerned because it rained all day. We went to the aquarium and really enjoyed it. Coming back we were happy that we packed a deck of cards because that became our activity for the day. Wednesday we awakened to a beautiful sunrise visible right outside our windows. The entire day was wonderful with plenty of time on the beach. Leaving on Thursday was simple as we had good instructions as to everything we needed to do. Thank you for the unit and the wonderful experience.

Great Location at Ocean Dunes
We have stayed in this particular Ocean Dunes condo numerous times and have been pleased each visit. There is an upstairs condo which can be a bit noisy at times but nothing too concerning. Has a nice second bedroom with an actual full bed. This is a great alternative to the bunk beds usually found in vacation rentals.

Be Aware!
One or two things alone is not really an issue but a broken diswasher with standing water thats smells like fish is pretty nasty. It was listed WITH a diswasher available. No screens when you have two children along, and biting flies outside is very uncomfortable and, we go to the ocean to hear the ocean. No swimming pool available when it is in the listing is more than irritating. Small kids CANNOT swim in the ocean when there are high waves. Thats why we find VRBO's with pools.. As for the rest...we pay a cleaning fee so we arrive to a clean house. Not so we can pay to clean it ourselves or call people to fix what is broken because these important things should already work.

Nice area & balcony View. Pools, Hot Tubs & out of order.
Property was in Nice area. Property was fairly nice. Pools & hot Tub pictured was main reason for rental. Outdoor pools are totally out of order and currently in disrepair. Indoor pool & hot tub were too difficult to locate on short weekend trip with no clear directions or signs. A/C didn't work. I might stay again if pools and A/C are working as pictured/listed otherwise price seemed too high. It was off season but still had no idea where indoor amenities were. Area is nice and laid back non-commercialized. Ocean Front Balcony was very nice and best part of rental.

Great Location
We spent three nights here the first weekend in November & the weather was perfect. Property was easy to find & smelled clean upon arrival. Both bedrooms are spacious & comfortable with wall mount tvs & large closets. This comes in handy when traveling with other adults as most condos seem to have bunk beds or are cramped with two double beds & a small closet. One downside is the toilets are very low which makes things a bit difficult for elderly/differently-abled guests. This condo is in a great location on a nice stretch of beach. One of the nicest condos that we’ve seen in Ocean Dunes.

Such a Nice Condo
We had such a great stay at this sweet condo in Fort Fisher. 2nd floor location was overlooking a beautiful stretch of beach. Private balcony accessible from both the living room and master bedroom had perfect sunrise view. Condo was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Good location less than a mile from the NC Aquarium, Fort Fisher and the NC Ferry to Southport, and only about 4 miles into Carolina Beach. We are definitely planning to go back!
