My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Wild Dunes so much that we will definitely be coming back next year and years to come. I really loved how equipped the kitchenette was. Especially having a coffee machine, since I am a coffee drinker was amazing rather than having to spend money every morning on coffee. It’s the little things that make me feel more at home and this hotel definitely made me feel at home. From the pool, spacious bedroom, many drawers for clothing, etc etc I really enjoyed my stay. Also, being so close to the boardwalk and beach that was a huge plus!

This is our second stay. It is excellent for seniors. Traveling with preteens, I could return to the room safely and they continued to enjoy the beach or. Boardwalk. Couple steps and you are on the beach/boardwalk.

Lots of space in the room. Close to everything. Very clean. Bed was not that comfortable, but that may be a personal thing. Easy to park but we had 2 cars because we came at different times so second parking was difficult to find on street without meters. I can't imagine what that would be like in high season. We had a portable AC unit in our sliding door so not able to open it for air and was taped shut so not the safest feeling.

Nice place, clean, and everything you would expect from a beach resort. My most negative comment would be the poor wifi connection.

As a senior vacationing with grandkids, the location and accessibility of the Wild Dunes was perfect. The room was perfect with a great kitchen. Daily housekeeping again was a treat. We will most certainly be back. It is next to the roller coaster, but since amusements close at a reasonable hour the noise was not a big factor.

Consider the sound

This hotel is one block to boardwalk and beach which is great YET it is across from rollercoaster so the noise is loud all night. The walls are thin so you can hear the families next door and outside.
