Bright and Cheerful Wild Dunes Cottage with sportcard

We loved the house, it was very nice and inviting. Great location, short walk to the beach! I loved that they allowed pets, so our two dogs could enjoy the beach with us!!

This was our third stay, which says a lot about how much we like this house. It has everything we need–pet and grandson friendly, nice amenities, quiet street, and good beach access. Highly recommend.

We were told by the property manager the week we were leaving that the front door key code doesn't work and we're given a garage door code and told the owners wouldn't be fixing before we arrived. I had a feeling this wouldn't be the only problem. We arrived Saturday and opened the garage to a mildew smell. We smelled this every time we entered through the garage. Once inside we notice the carpet was disgusting in the living room. It was ripped in multiple areas and had a a long cord coming out of the carpet for a phone jack. This was very inconvenient with a toddler. There was also a hole the size of a half dollar in the wall right above the cord that is in the corner. The more you look around this property you will notice damage all over the walls. Look up at the walls in the living room. The paint is peeling off the walls. The master bath Jacuzzi doesn't work and the toilet wobbles. It appears its pulled away from the floor and has been caulked multiple times to cover it. The caulk is yellow. There is also mold inside the shower doors and tracks. The handles are broken off inside the shower doors also. The floors are laminate in the hall and kitchen and not hardwood as described in the listing. We noticed my babies hands were black when we picked him up. We couldnt figure it out until my mom noticed her feet were black on the bottom. We took a baby wipe and rubbed it across the laminate and tile floors. The wipe was black.

It was so dirty. My mom mopped all the floors and vacuumed the house. The guest bathroom has a light hanging from the ceiling above the shower and the AC vent is dangling by one screw from the ceiling also. There were lots of insects inside the house. The outside is dingy and needs to be painted. I want to be very clear for other renters so they dont have very high hopes from the listing and the pictures. Its also a 10 minute walk to the beach. You have to cross a road before you walk down a long street prior to reaching the sand. You will need to go further down in wild dunes if you don't want to cross this road. All week I noticed stuff on the floor of the garage that appeared to be lint. It was raining today when we were packing so I backed my truck in the garage. My wife was running the washer and dryer like requested. I kept smelling dryer sheets and I was very hot. I looked up and see the dryer duct is actually set up to dump out directly from the ceiling onto the garage floor!!

Weather was perfect and house had everything we needed for a relaxing stay at Wild Dunes. I loved being a bit ways from the Grand Pavilion. Quiet, yet close to all the amenities if that's what you want to do.

Great location !
