Great location, plenty of room

But needs some TLC. Exterior looks quite aged by comparison to the pics but the house was really clean and offered plenty of room for my family of four. Rental company was great to work with as well.

Great place…so good I don’t want others finding out

We had a great time at this property. It was perfect for our family, and it’s sometimes hard to find rentals that are appropriate size for one family and not big groups in this area. Having a place that had almost everything we needed for the beach helped us have to pack so much less stuff. It is as described and it was great for us. Walking distance to beach access point and Stinky’s restaurant. We loved this place and will be back again I’m sure. Hope no one else finds out about this gem so we can snag it again.

Great get away

This house was the perfect fit for our family of 4. A block away from the beach couldn't be beat. We enjoyed our daily/nightly walks there as well as the close proximity to Stinky's Fish Camp for lunch, dinner, drinks and live music. House was well equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas, paddle boards, kayaks, and bikes. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Two large porch swings were our favorite places to relax for coffee or afternoon cocktails. Few items need attention: cleaning or replacing the coverings on the indoor couches and kitchen chairs, an outlet in the main floor bathroom would be beneficial, and more hangers available in all the closets. One negative was the construction happening next door that started at 7 AM-5PM every day. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation and truly enjoyed our stay at Leaning Palms in Dune Allen Beach.

Great house for vacation!

I was impressed with the obviously new remodel. It is decorated very nicely and attracts attention. The swing beds are the best feature, we spent so much time there! We had a 3 month old baby with so getting to the beach was a struggle. A smaller umbrella that the women could handle would have been handy. Also, there is no sound barrier in the house, you can hear everything from upstairs to downstairs. A hair dryer would be handy for renters to have as well. Maybe add a few more items in the kitchen, it was a little short. (plates, basting brush, skillet cover) It was a short walk to Stinky's, that was handy. The house was nicely cleaned. Some smaller pillows would have been comfortable, I didn't sleep well at all all week. Overall, I would rent again. Thank you.
