Great location. Beach and Camille’s coffee shop/cafe just a block away. Publix and Whole Foods are just over a half mile. Walmart is 2 miles and Henderson State park is about a mile walk down the beach. Great walking area. The unit is comfortable with washer and dryer and a great little electric fire place under the tv for cool mornings. The patio chairs need an upgrade, but were usable. The bathroom is great! Definitely recommend .

Birthday beach stay
Had an incredible stay here. It was very clean well decorated. The location is perfect just a very short walk to the beautiful beach & just short walk or drive to store’s and restaurants . The only issue was the patio door would not open and the doors could maybe use some wD-40 because there little noisy . Other than that everything was fantastic . I do recommend maybe a signature complementary gift for guest. Like maybe small chocolates or little gift of some sort that would have been nice . I would definitely book this agin . Perfect

Caribbean Dunes
Overall very good and relaxing stay. Condo presents nicely and clean. Floors could use good scrub. Few essential pantry items would been nice
Touch e.g. S&P. Stove top burners need replacing bc they are not fitting in slots making cooking uneven. Kitchen nicely stocked with utensils and pans and nice dishes.
Location was great! Property mgmt was very responsive! Cushions on balcony
Need to be replaced due to a lot Of
Stains. Rockers were good touch!
Would stay again and would recommend. Thx.

Great location
Here is what we loved: location to the beach restaurants, grocery stores, etc was way better than expected and it feels like a town (including prices, which was great), and not just a tourist beach area.The place was clean and organized, and had the right things in the kitchen to cook like back home. Overall, this was a great place to stay and we'd return again. Also, open communication was great.
Here are the things we think could improve: cleaniness was great, but some basic maintenance like tightening up door handles throughout due to constant usuage is needed. I had to tighten one since it was falling off. One of the balcony chairs needs to be replaced. And, we couldn't get the front tv to change channels, and we didn't wanttk spend time on it as apposed to the beach.
