  • Our stay at this great beach house was hardly at peak season (Oct 17-21, 2009). But that didn't keep four old friends and wives from having a wonderful stay. The house looks just like the pictures, well appointed, and arranged to promote "togetherness". The bedding is very comfortable and everyone has their own space. The beach and water is right there in front of you. The deck is a wonderful gathering place for morning coffee or evening happy hours. The sunsets and sunrises will water your eyes. You will enjoy the dolphins who are regular guests in the water directly off the deck. Thanks Carla, we hope to return someday.

  • This was our third year staying in one of Carla's properties. But it was our first year at Tropical Dunes. We enjoyed ourselves completely. There are 14 of us with 6 children 7 and under. We were all very comfortable in this house. Our weather was beautiful and the beach was wonderful. Carla takes very good care of house making it seem like home.

  • We recently stayed in this property with our 3 grown children, their spouses, and 4 grandchildren. The floor plan was ideal for our family size and also each family had their privacy. The house is very well stocked and maintained. We enjoyed our week there very much. The beach is very nice and private, especially tat his time of year. I would highly recommend this property.

  • Stayed week of Aug 8 - 15, 2009. Had a great time. My family of 7 was there the whole week. Plus my 87 yr old mom, 71 yr old mom-in-law, and sister-in-law joined us for a few days mid-week. House was plenty big enough for all of us and location/beach is fantastic. Don't even have to worry about bringing up your beach items (umbrellas, chairs, etc) off the beach each night. Nobody bothers them. House was very clean and loved the outside decks to just sit and relax. Carla is fantastic to work with. Had one issue with DVD player and sent her email. She quickly responded with solution that worked. Can't get that kind of service at most high-end hotels. Thanks Carla for a great vacation.

  • We spent a wonderful week with our grown children and their families - 12 of us. The house was so comfortable, well-equipped and clean. Everyone commented on how much they liked the house. The view was beautiful, and we loved being right on the beach. We enjoyed delicious seafood at Tacky Jacks and especially liked grilling hamburgers and hot dogs on the gas grill. The children loved their bunk bed getaway room. Even the two-year old slept there. The beds were extra comfortable and the house is so well insulated, we all got a good nights sleep every night. The a/c worked great too. Pools were nice. We had a great time! Thanks.

  • We had a great time. The house was very nice and comfortable with plenty of room. I am always concerned by how old the posted photos are, but they were up to date and a very accurate description of what you actually get. House was clean and well appointed as well. Karla was always responsive and friendly before and after the stay. I expect she would have been during our stay as well, but again, everything was in place and we did not need to contact her. Thanks

  • Tropical Dunes was the perfect place for our family vacation--2 grandparents, 2 couples, 3 children. The view from the deck was beautiful! The kitchen was well-stocked; the large table allowed all of us to eat together. The king beds were comfortable and the walk-in closets gave us plenty of space. The upstairs was so quiet--I never did hear if anyone else was up and about, and I was usually the last one to wake up. There were lots of books, movies, games, and beach toys as well. We loved it and will certainly consider going back. Carla was great to work with, too.

  • Exactly as described. Believe the pictures! This is a great vacation venue. It's very child friendly. We had a great time. The kitchen was well equipped. The beach toys perfect. The high chair and pack and play came in useful as well. We enjoyed lunch on the decks and watched the dolphins playing. The sound of the waves at night was the highlight of our vacation. Carla was great to deal with. Thoroughly recommend this- and did I mention it's right on the beach!

  • Our extended family came from all over to enjoy this fabulous spot. We would make the trek again in a heartbeat. Carla was helpful and accommodating. The house was impeccable, the beach was gorgeous and far from the crowded commercial beaches close to town. The layout was ideal for us - each of the four couples had a beautiful, spacious king bedroom and bathroom, and the kids got to be together in one room. There was plenty of room for us to cook and eat together. The covered decks were amazing for coffee and dolphin-watching. The kids loved the easy beach access, and the complex pool and basketball net. Something for everyone. Perfect!

  • We really enjoyed our stay at Tropical Dunes. The house is well equipped and felt like home. We really enjoyed the remote location of this development. It was fun to have the beach "to ourselves". The community is well kept and the pools and hottubs were great! Carla is easy to work with and dependable. We hated for our trip to end!
