  We had a relaxing week-long vacation at the Bonnie Dune. The house was very clean and comfortable with plenty of room for our small family. The location is a great combination of proximity to the beach and privacy, with just a short walk to the beach (no streets) and a private deck/yard/pool area. The empty beach during spring break was a welcome change from our usual vacation spots. Although a bit of a drive, there were plenty of activities for kids when the weather was too chilly to spend the day in the ocean and pool. The owner and manager were responsive and helpful. We will recommend it to friends and consider it again in the future.

  What a great Beach House! My husband and I stayed a month and enjoyed every moment of it. Very private setting and a great view of the beach. We spent a lot of time in the sun room, having meals or playing cards. The house is very clean, and the decor was very nice. We loved it so much we are booking it for next year.

  We absolutely LOVED staying here!!!! The pool was great, the street and neighborhood nice & quiet. For a pet friendly property, the home was immaculately clean. Not a stray pet hair to be found. The master bed was very comfortable. The only down side was going outside to do wash. Only a down because a few days it was drizzly rainy. We look forward to a return visit. Kent & Rachel

  Stayed here for one week with four kids and seven adults . Fully furnished. Photos are accurate. Property clean. Easy checkin and checkout. Walk to the beach is further than it appeared in photos but OK even for a 68 year old. Private pool and private beach. Great for the Fourth Of July!! Definitely away from the crowds. Would recommend this beach house to my friends and family.

  Actually, we are still at Bonnie Dunes. After six family vacations (so far), we agree that this is our best yet! My granddaughter has a pool for morning and afternoon swims, and her parents have a beach which is short steps away. The den and dining area/kitchen is so open and perfect for watching television and cooking at the same time. The kitchen has many kinds and sizes of pots/pans/cooking utensils. I am used to bringing items that are already here! Thanks, Donna and owners, for a lovely vacation. P.S. My husband is so happy that he can have his "child," the dog, here with him.

  Owner response: Martha, You have been such a dear to work with. I've really enjoyed our conversations. I am so pleased that the whole family was able to relax and do what best suited them. Bonnie Dune does have so much to offer. Thank you for taking such good care of her and we look forward to your families' return. Enjoy the fast moving summer, Donna

  Our week stay at Bonnie Dune was amazing! The house was spacious, the kitchen had all the cookware and utensils that we could dream of, and the pool was very relaxing after a long day of playing in the waves at the beach. Any requests that we had, Donna took care of immediately. The view of the ocean and beach from the house is beautiful. We didn't spend much time in the sun room, but it's definitely a great addition to the house. We look forward to coming back to this house in the future!

  Our first week stay at this rental was not a happy one. There were pet hair and sand everywhere. We were quite disgusted when we noticed pet hairs on our pillows and bedding. Luckily we brought an extra set as there wasn't one in the rental. The next day, I found a vacuum cleaner and started cleaning but realized it was broken and was full of hair and sand. I finally gave up an called the property manager, Donna. The rest of my day was cleaning the rental. The floors were so dirty that the canister filled quickly with pet hairs and sand. The next day I vacuumed and again filled the canister. We showed Donna the bedding and the amount that was vacuumed. At this time, I mentioned to her that the rental is not clean and this is not acceptable. Not only did we have a dirty rental, the TV and phone did not work properly. Also, there were electrical problems, and burned out light bulbs. We were inconvenienced with repairmen coming in on 3 different days of our first week. These annoyances set our mood for the rest of our stay. We have rented in the past and have never had to clean before taking possession. The day we left the rental, we sent a detailed email to the manager explaining our disappointments. We have not had a response. We would not recommend this rental to others.

  We really enjoyed just being close to the gulf in a private beach residential area. The house is just as it appears in the listing. The furniture was comfortable and fresh; the house was very clean. The sunroom was just terrific with a beautiful view. The bed was comfortable. We cooked at the house a lot and the kitchen was very well equipped. All appliances worked well and were very clean. Better than we anticipated (our first VRBO experience) and we got to have our little doggies with us. Thanks so much. I have already recommended this house to others. Maybe someday we will stay again. Hope so!!

  Owner response: WOW thank you for being our valued guests. Our goal is for you to have a great vacation in a comfortable home and we've succeeded. Please come back soon.
