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.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Sept 2023
Dear Rachel, We are so happy this cottage was the perfect fit for you and your family. It is the perfect location to visit since the beach is so close . The proximity makes it much easier to carry those beach items the owner left for you to use. We also appreciate you sharing what items need to be addressed in the home. We will communicate with the owner on the suggestions you have. I know he plans on visiting in the off season to do some upgrades and this information about the couches will be addressed. I so wish we had some sort of control of the construction that is going on. They should be about complete by now. The allotted hours are from 8-5 each day. At least they could hold off till 8 . This soon will not be an issue but I know that can be a nuisance to some guest. We hope that you will be planning another visit to the area soon. If so, we would like to offer you a small discount. Just call us direct and you will also not have to pay the service fee that VRBO requires. Again, we thank you for choosing Sanddollar One the best team on 30 A.
