Our Family 2025 Vacation

We stay every year at Ariel Dunes I. This year was a last minute booking. Communication was quick. The condo was just as stated. The check in & out instructions were easy. They also had chairs, umbrellas & a few other toys to be used for smaller children. We brought our own but it is good to know for future stays. We had a great time as always.

Great place to stay, great view!

We have stayed at Ariel Dunes 3 different times and we always have a great experience! What we love most about it is the amazing pools, the short walk to the beach, the café that is located downstairs, and the cleanliness of the building. There are maintenance workers that are continuously working to keep the property beautiful and clean. My husband and son loved the golf course that is located on the property.

Condo 1206 was okay.

The bed was terrible! We tossed and turned a lot and the bed sounded like it was going to fall apart. Very noisey! Didn't sleep much all week. The bed needs to be replaced! Needs a closet to hang clothes.

Disappointed

Check in was at 4:00pm and the condo was not cleaned until 6:00pm. It was somewhat beat up and definitely needs a deep cleaning. I would not re-book this condo or any units they have. I had close friends book a different unit from a different owner in the building and it was much nicer!!!

Didn't suck

Property was as advertised, BUT the maintenance guys that HAD to enter the unit to address the water issues from the fire that occurred several floors above (prior to my arrival) were a slight annoyance. Had I known about that issue, I probably wouldn't have booked there. However, the annoyance wasn't that great, and therefore, the trip "didn't suck". If you book at this property, and you aren't dealing with maintenance issues that the manager failed to disclose, you'll likely be very happy. It was a GREAT trip. It's a great location. It's a great property. The only downside was the hours of frustration from a property manager that didn't prepare/warn me. Cheers!

Worst place I ever rented

The view was spectacular but that was all . The place was filthy. Mold on the shower curtain. Nasty toilet paper on the plunger by the toilet. The silverware drawers were dirty . When you sat on the couch the cushions went to the floor . The rugs were filthy and worn out . We have been going on vacation for 35 years and this is the first time I have ever left a bad review. Save your money and rent somewhere else . The property Ariel Dunes 1 is wonderful but for this Condo it was terrible. Very Disappointed.

Is hate to tell you that this property was not clean at all starting from the furniture to the appliances, no hygiene products were provided at the kitchen or bathrooms, when you sleep on the beds after few days you will get back pain due to cheep quality of the mattress. All blankets provided were way too old and soon as you cover yourself you start feeling itchy. My daughter refused to sleep with us due to all this and flew back to VA.
