We loved everything about our stay at Dorsey’s Wave, the home was very clean and stocked with everything we could need for an enjoyable stay. Loved being able to walk right out to the beach! The area is not as hustle and bustle as the surrounding beaches and felt like our own little piece of paradise. We will definitely be back!
It was wonderful. Beautiful sunsets. Welcoming beach that allows dogs! Kind folks everywhere. Felt safe traveling alone

Decent property. Furniture is completely worn out. Large drop down from master bedroom to master bath which would be dangerous for older people or young children. Hair all in the shower in the green bathroom. Unable to stabilize water temperature in the same bathroom. Topper on bed in master bedroom kept sliding off the bed. Be careful not to trip on the legs that stick out from under the bed. Needs a handyman to live there for about a week. Holes in the wall from door knobs, as well as the aforementioned water situation. No apparent reason for stepping up or stepping down onto a deck and especially onto master bathroom. No sliding doors in the front and no bedroom on the water side. because it’s dog friendly, I expected a place for a small dog to use the bathroom, but instead all she got was Sandspurs.

We understand how important comfort and safety are, especially with the layout of the master bedroom and bathroom. Your feedback about the worn furniture and the water temperature issues in the green bathroom is valuable, and we will certainly look into these matters to ensure a better experience for future guests.
Regarding the dog-friendly aspect, we strive to create a welcoming environment for pets, and we’re sorry to hear that the outdoor space didn’t meet your needs. We appreciate your insights and will consider how we can improve that area for our furry guests.
Thank you again for your feedback. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future to provide a more enjoyable stay.
Incredible! I’ve always dreamed of a cute little house on the beach where I could see the surf from the window and hear the ocean (and we also saw dolphins one day!) You literally walk just steps and you’re on the beach! House was very clean, cute and well renovated. The beach was quiet, no loud parties nearby, and an amazing experience I’ll love forever.
