Great location-walking distance to beach!

My family and I had a great stay here. It was a good location to walk to the beach and the view from balcony is nice. Our only concern was the cleanliness- this place definitely needed a good deep clean. It was dirty under and behind beds, dirty clothes inside the downstairs closet from previous renters probably, fans were dusty, pillows were dirty, covers were not fresh and they don’t provide complimentary toiletries so we had to get that on our own. Also there was dog poo on top balcony area as you walk outside. Good location but gave it 3 stars because of the dirty spots we saw.

July 4th getaway

We had a great time. Looney Dunes was just as shown in the listing. Clean, fully furnished and plenty of space for everyone. The host was exceptional, easy to check in and check out. There was plenty of deck space for lounging and the perfect place for viewing fireworks.

Great get away!

The property was exactly what was expected, very beautiful, clean, and right by the beach. There was space for up to 18 people as promised if two people share a bed. Also the couches turn into queen size beds so that’s 9 beds in total. There is an extra charge for linens so if that is a must, make sure to ask for them. Overall, a wonderful experience and would definitely come back for another retreat.

Surprise vacation

In general the property is clean and with good ocean view. Unfortunately, with the capacity to hold 18 people without extra trash bag is challenge. Also, the ladder to climb up to the top of bunk bed is not secured. One of our member fell down due to ladder slid. This can be prevented.

Looney dunes on the beach!

Rented this spot for 6 awesome days! We thought it was absolutely perfect with perfect view of beach. The 2nd floor was our favorite 😝 had it’s own little suite with a bedroom, bathroom and little kitchen with a fridge ,sink and spot for the bar!!! Loved 🥰 it!! Then 3rd floor had amazing fully loaded kitchen, spacy living room with beautiful master bedroom (bed was small) but i had a huge queen air matress with us so i made it work… lol the 3rd room had 2 sets of bunk beds 🛏 which was cool… we also ordered linens…. Had an abundance of towels whisch was nice, but order your linens… comes doggie gates which our little dogs enjoyed the beach house too . Thank you had a blast!!

House and location were fantastic! Needs to provide linens.

The house was clean, and spacious enough for full capacity. The beach is only a few steps away and the unobstructed view keeps you outside happily all day. Our only complaint was the lack of linens on all the beds. We found out last minute that they charge $163 extra for towels and linens, so drying dishes and such was a challenge. Other than that, we loved our stay!
