Vacation Rentals by Owner

Relaxing Restful Weekend

Date of Stay: 05/13/11 Review Submitted: 05/15/11

This is the second year we have rented from you. We are a group of (usually) ten teachers (some still teaching, some retired) who have enjoyed a yearly beach weekend for over twenty straight years. Bedrooms are comfortable, linens great, kitchen very adequate, and it's a fantastic location. It would have been nice to have the internet access code--it showed up on our wireless but was locked. We spend most of our fun time together around the dining room table when not outside--living room furniture is not extremely comfortable or enough for this many people. We will happily come again!

Comfortable, convenient and beautiful home.

I am the owner of the home. As you can see all of the reviews were positive except the last one and their date of stay was 2 years ago. We have never, ever had a negative response except this one. The linens are replaced every year with quality linens. I have a full time property manager on site along with the cleaning service. If and when there is a problem she has remedied the problem right away. We extremely enjoy the home. We are very close to EVERYTHING.

SUMMER VACATION

The house was in a wonderful location, and was nice fit for the family. However, here what was wrong: No Ice maker in the freezer, not enough of linens or clean towels...in fact, much were stained! Also, found hair in the bathtub and shower stall when arriving our first day...after the cleaning company just left the house. You need to have more linens avaiable instead of using the same ones over and over...and get more clean towels!!! The televisons were tiny and well over 10 years old, with very small pictures, and a lack of quality sound for what we paid for. You need to go Target/Sam's/BJ's and buy some nice, inexpensive flat screens...especially for the family room!!! One of the bathrooms upstairs shower stall was so incredibly small, you needed to be the size of a very small child to fit, never mind an adult. The house has potential, but the owner needs to step up, and spend a few bucks on some of these items listed above. Otherwise, you will overpay for the house.

Our family rented this property for a week and was really pleased with all the accommodations and the location. The house is beautiful, well equipped and allows plenty of space for kids to play. Proximity to the boardwalk, Village Green shops, Grand Pavilion pools and beach made it convenient to get everywhere on foot. Evening entertainment at Boardwalk and Village Green was family friendly and enjoyable. The only glitch was a broken gas grill which the owner replaced within 24-hours of our notifying her. We were really impressed with her responsiveness,

We have just returned home from a wonderful month in 36 Grand Pavilion. This house is exceptional - spacious, spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated. The location is so convenient. All members of our family, down to the youngest child, loved it! We intend to return next year if all goes well.

Our extended family has rented this house for the past 2 years (2006 & 2007) and we have had a great time in it. The house is wonderful and spacious. The screened room off the dining room is a wonderful quiet getaway. All the bedrooms were wonderful and large. The kids loved the bunk bed room. Sadly, we are too big for it now but it has been a wonderful vacation rental. It's right near the pools and beach and the empty lot has been great for soccer games before dinner.

We just returned home from our week at this house and it was exceptional. The location was perfect for running the kids home from the pools or beach for afternoon naps. The closets are large and allowed our little one to enjoy her own "room". Nothing bad to say, we had a great trip and look forward to scheduling our return trip in two years.

We just spent a week in this house. Overall, it was great. It lacked a few things that we felt should be noted. No ice maker! I think a home of this caliber should have an ice maker!! I hate ice trays!! The high speed internet did not work for me. I don't know what the problem was, but I am pretty computer knowlegable, and I couldn't get it to work. I believe the problem lays with how the owner has it set up. There were no cleaning products. Windex for the glass table. I am a clean freak. Nothing to clean the bathrooms.. I clean my bathrooms every other day! I don't want this to be a negative comment. I just feel I would have left the place cleaner than I did, upon my departure, had there been cleaning products! Overall, the house was beautiful. It was fully stocked with all the kitchen gadgets you expect, with the exception of an ice maker in the refigerator/freezer. It is beautifully decorated, very open, lots of room. We loved the beds and linen so much, we came home and purchased the same!! The beds were to die for!!! (It was worth filling up ice trays, to sleep in heaven every night!) We invited a few friends to entertain for an evening, and a few spent the night. They too, purchased the linen that was on the beds, for their home! The beds were so comfy! Over all..I would definately rent from Beth again. She is great. Very nice! We will definately rent from her again. Thanks Beth!!!

We really enjoyed our week in your home! The twin bunks with trundles in one room allowed us to house two families with 7 kids under 8, parents and grandma for a fantastic week at the beach! The proximity to tennis, the Grand Pavillion and beach could not have been better. Look forward to visiting again next year! Just got to take a few more shaggin' lessons first.

We loved the house! It's great to put the kids all in one room ---six beds! Also, we loved how close the house was to the beach and pool. Perfect location. We hope to rent for two weeks next year!!!!

Wow!!! What an amazing property. We have been coming to Wild Dunes for more than 15 years and this is by far the nicest property we have stayed in. The decorating and style of this home are first rate. Dealing with the manager of this home was hassle-free and pleasant. We have already booked for next year. Thanks Beth.

Our family had a wonderful time and enjoyed the house tremendously. Wonderfully decorated, everything was picture perfect. We felt right at home and hated to leave. Great location, close to beach, pools and playground.

If you look at some of the other homes, you will be able to get the general "feel" of this house. I know we will have lots of positve comments in the future! Thank you for taking the time to look at our property. Beth Keetch
