Summer beach vacation

We had a great time at this house. I would highly recommend it. It was close to the fort, aquarium, and any needed amenities. The beach location was wonderful as well. Our children had a blast catching crabs and small fish in the tidal pools at low tide. The owner was very responsive and helpful as well.

Sand on the sheets and in the shower is absolutely unacceptable, and we’ve addressed this directly with our cleaning team to ensure it does not happen again. While we wish you had reached out during your stay so we could have immediately resolved the issue, we do appreciate your feedback and are committed to making sure every guest has a spotless and comfortable experience moving forward.

Perfect Family Getaway House

My family stayed four nights at this perfect, quiet, cozy and kid friendly beach house! The view was beautiful and right on the water! We had my 81 year old grandparents with us and they really enjoyed sitting underneath the porch and watching all the grandkids and great grandkids play on the beach. The back deck was spacious and provided a great view, especially during the morning sunrise. We all loved the Disney themed rooms and kept discussing how well they were all decorated. The kids LOVED the house and the toys, books and games that were available to use. I think one of our favorite things about this location was the rocks when the tide went out. It was like having a little kiddie pool for the kids to play in and perfect for finding seashells! The host is great and quick to answer! Overall we all loved this house and the location and are already talking about booking for next year!

We were a group of 13 family members from ages 3 to 75. We love KB but had never stayed at Ocean Dunes before. We absolutely loved the ocean front home. We spent a lot of our time out on the beach and really enjoyed the rocks in front of the house. The natural pools that were made were a hit for all ages. It was great to pull your chair up to the water and to explore the shallow areas for shells and shark teeth. The house itself was perfect for our crew. It was big enough that we could all have our own space or be altogether. The kitchen was packed with everything you might need. Check in was a breeze and Duffy was a great communicator. He answered our questions promptly and made our experience enjoyable. Our Disney loving family appreciated all of the Disney nuances and the kids loved all of the toys. We’d definitely all love staying here again!

Great place for large families!

The Disney theme was very cool! The kids loved the stuffies and the big trunk of beach toys under the deck, and the adults appreciated the beach chairs provided lol. We had a big group of people of every age and there were plenty of comfy beds and seating.The beach was accessible and the tide pools at low tide provided a lot of natural discoveries for the kids like shells, shark teeth, fossils, and small aquatic animals. The kitchen was lovely and had quite a few pantry items leftover for us to use. The pool/hot tub/sauna/fitness center was within walking distance right across the street and was beautiful. There is a nice area at Carolina Beach about 10 minutes away with a carnival, restaurants, and shopping, as well as the Kure Beach Pier about 5 minutes away with fishing rigs for rent at reasonable rates. There was a gift shop there as well with some really unique items, not just the usual kitchy stuff. The owner Duffy was extremely nice, professional, welcoming, and accessible. He kept an open line of communication and really seemed to care that we had a good time there, and we did!!

The location and basic layout of the house had potential, but unfortunately our stay was very disappointing. Upon arrival we found dirty dishes put away in the cupboards, a vase of dead flowers, and a dirty fabric shower curtain in the master bathroom that was stained red with what appeared to be mold or mildew.These issues immediately made us question the overall cleanliness of the property. There were also many maintenance concerns throughout the house. Both bottom bunk bed mattresses were directly on the floor, and the mattress in the room off the kitchen appeared to have staining on it, which is also visible in the listing photo. The bottom bunk mattress in the upstairs room did not have a mattress cover, which we feel should be standard, especially for a child’s bed. Several toilet seats were old and chipping, and many of the bathroom fixtures felt outdated and poorly maintained. One of the biggest safety concerns was in the first floor main bedroom. The threshold going into the bathroom was cracked and separated from the flooring, exposing mesh and jagged tile underneath. The occupants of that room had to wear sandals at all times to avoid accidentally cutting their feet. While the location was great, there were too many issues with the home for us to recommend it without significant repairs, improved maintenance, and better preparation for guests. There are many other beachfront options in this price range, and unfortunately this property did not meet our expectations.

Thank you for your feedback. During your stay, the only issue brought to our attention was regarding some dishes, and we responded promptly to address that concern. We were surprised to later see a much broader list of complaints that were never communicated during the stay, as we would have welcomed the opportunity to resolve them in real time. Our goal is always for guests to have a great experience, and we work hard to maintain and improve the property for the many families who stay with us throughout the year. As a beachfront home that experiences heavy family use, there can occasionally be cosmetic wear between updates, but cleanliness, safety, and responsiveness remain priorities for us. We are reviewing the items mentioned and addressing anything that genuinely needs attention. We appreciate the feedback and wish you the best in your future travels.

The Good: right on the water - watch sunrises and waves from the decks (or the beds in the master bedroom). Access to Ocean Dunes indoor pool/hot tub/tennis/shuffleboard/gym was perfect for bad weather. The Bad: The house seems mid-remodel with parts showing age. Some upgrades are noticeable, but significant gaps remain like no ice maker, dishwasher spray arm broken, 3-way light switches are now not (cutting off one switch means the other switch cannot be used); doors that won't close or lock; and the front door lock keypad stopped working (or never worked).The Ugly: The house was only surface cleaned. Dishes put away were dirty; sand and dirt fell from the couch each time we sat down; pans and pots put away with food scraps and grease; there was no organization in the kitchen with like-items scattered across many cabinets; brooms were shoved into a closet with 1/2 inch of sand left on floor and a wet mop, and air filters were blackened and falling apart having not been changed. Other notes: The beach has rocks close to shore. This can be fun to walk along, but makes going in/out of the water difficult. The decor is cool, but we felt too much and left no space for guest to put clothes/suitcases. No mirrors in bedrooms. Duffy permitted use of the basement/garage bypassing “no Guest Access” sign, without that storage we'd have had no place to put our beach chairs/boards/toys and would have been a dealbreaker.

Dilapidated place. The positive: ocean front. Terribly overpriced for the quality. Bed in master had old worn foam for a mattress w no protective dust/mildew covering on it, and one bed had a sagging mattress on frame w inadeq supportive structure.Dated furnishings, decor. All the toilet seats are ancient, damaged and dingy.No toilet paper holder in one of the bath rooms.Dirty, dusty, rusty vents and fan.Bottom of the line fridge. Ice maker not workingJacuzzi tub is corroded, mildew visible in drain w disgusting caulking.Blinds broken.Towel rack off wall in master bath.Dirty greasy rugs, carpets.Mildew ceiling in master bath and rust.Sand and hair in bedlinens and on floors the night we arrived & full dishwasher for us to unload & dirty fridge. Given access to locked linen closet for clean sheets & basket storing some of the linens was very dirty.Cleaning ppl came next morning as promised. Gym mediocre w some broken equipment. Handles outside the deck doors to Master bedroom are corroded, and broken making it hard to close them once out on deck. There is only one chair out on the master deck to enjoy the amazing view; the only place to sit on that deck.This place is not the quality it was represented to be, and certainly not worth the bill."No guest access" sign at storage basement door, given access when we complained about the dirtiness & no place to store our beach items. Slipped on slick bathtub and injured knee.Dated, cheap & unclean. Disappointed

The location is great and the reason we stayed. The beach access is prime, and the beds were comfortable. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. This home is in such poor condition that it feels unfit for occupancy. I have stayed in many beach rentals and do not expect luxury, but I do expect clean, safe, functional, and properly maintained. This home was none of those things. The house was not clean: our feet were BLACK from walking on the floors, there was food dripping down kitchen cabinets, dirty towels left in the washer. The number of maintenance and safety issues was shocking: a sparking cooktop burner, sparking outlet, failing electrical, a shower light shorting out, a bed that folds on you when you sit on it, peeling wallpaper, damaged walls. WiFi doesn’t work, don’t plan on that. The property is marketed toward families, making the hazards more concerning: broken bunk beds taped together, rusty and broken furniture, damaged cabinets, and glass shower doors coming off tracks. The primary bathroom was very concerning: rusty tub, moldy curtain, and water leaking through the kitchen ceiling after a shower. A handyman being sent to caulk suggests an ongoing issue needing real repair. We reported issues during our stay; most received band-aid fixes. Continuing to contact the owners no longer felt like a vacation. We considered asking VRBO to relocate us but stayed due to the disruption it would cause a large group. The location saved this trip; the house did not.

Thank you for your review. I’m glad you enjoyed the location, beach access, and comfortable beds. I do want to clarify one important point for future guests. During your stay, the only one issue that was reported to us was a plumbing leak. As soon as we were notified, we had a repair professional at the home within hours to resolve it. The other concerns described in this review were never reported to us during your stay. We encourage guests to let us know immediately if anything needs attention so we have the opportunity to address it promptly. We care deeply about our guests’ experience and take pride in maintaining our home. We’re committed to providing a clean, comfortable, and enjoyable stay, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond.
