First ,let me say I am a short term rental property owner myself. I have never had to leave a review like this .When we checked in the kitchen, entry hall, dining area and floors were dirty. There was food and sand on the floors. The kitchen counters and dining room table were greasy and had bits of food on them. Debbie and Gabby came over and did a great job cleaning. Thank you for that.My biggest complaint is all of the windows facing the gulf have broken seals and are so fogged over you can not see out of them. The seals have been broken for a very long time for them to be this bad. Some are mostly white with heavy condensation. The pictures show how bad the condensation is between the two panes of glass.Only the sliding glass door has a view. When you pay for a view you expect to have one. The pictures they show are clearly before any window damage. Shame on the property owner and the management company for letting this to continue to go on. The outdoor cushions are heavily stained . You have to sleep in the middle of the bed in the master bedroom because of a dip in the mattress on the left side.This property needs some fixing up. The pool area is and beach are fantastic. I would tell anyone to rent another condo at this property , just not this one!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we truly appreciate your professionalism in communicating these concerns. We're glad Debbie and Gabby could help get things right during your stay. Your points about the window seals, mattress, and cushions are important, and we take them seriously. These are exactly the kinds of maintenance issues that need addressing to deliver the experience guests deserve, especially with a gulf-view property. We're forwarding your detailed observations to the owner immediately. We're thrilled you enjoyed the pool and beach! We'd love the opportunity to make things right on a future visit once these repairs are completed. Your feedback as a fellow property owner is invaluable.

The only drawback was the palm tree blocked our view of sunset. Loved the condo. Easy to get in touch with the manager if needed. Well stocked kitchen And lovely arrival gift. Thank you for a wonderful visit.

Hi Patsy, we're so glad to hear you loved the condo and had a wonderful stay. The lush landscaping throughout the entire property lends to the beauty of your experience and the palms are pruned twice a year. The balcony is so large that it's difficult to understand how your view was blocked and, of course, the sitting area at the beach walk is a wonderful place to be as well. We have never heard this from other guests. We look forward to your return visit.

Family vacation

We had a great stay at the condo. The location is wonderful. The beach was beautiful. The kitchen had anything and everything we could need. Everything was perfect. If I had anything negative to say it was that the gate stopped working to the entrance of the property (which wasn’t a big deal really) and on departure day they were working on WiFi, but the problem came with the workers parking right in the way of the sidewalks to the parking lot which made it really difficult to bring luggage down to the cars. They jokingly said they weren’t trying to make it difficult but honestly they could have moved the van over a little to make the carts easier to move. That and that there was a realtor (or what I expect was) showing a property but parked right at the gate and left their car there, so making it where it was hard for anyone coming in (they were confused by the empty car at the keypad) and where traffic coming in or out got backed up easily. Again nothing really, just a little irritating. But the condo and everything that had to do with it was truly perfect for us. We hope to return!

Excellent view & quiet location, needs improvements

This is the second time my family has stayed in this property. We loved it so much last year that we booked it right away for the same week the following year. Over that timeframe, it appears that they have changed property management companies. The area that concerned me the most was the cleanliness of the property… Especially with Covid, it did not feel clean. The floors were still dirty. The rugs were so dirty we had to move them to the side so that we wouldn’t walk on them. Several dishes that we took out to use were dirty. Several dishes. The grill was dirty. The windows were so dirty we couldn’t see out of them. The bedding comforters did not have a duvet cover. So were we sharing bedding with the previous guests?? It just didn’t feel clean. We enjoyed reading the personal owner story last year but it’s a shame to see this place like this. It needs some updates but we can handle that. The nice little touches that we enjoyed last fall break, were no longer there. The view is fantastic. We love the low-key location. Our check in process was frustrating. We were told on the phone we could check in early. We went to the grocery store to buy all of our groceries only to find out that we couldn’t check in early. I had a car full of cold foods and there was no consideration. The lady at Newman-Dailey reservations was very rude. She said it needed to be inspected. After I told her I’d sit and wait for them to come, an hour later, the inspector came … stayed about 5 minutes… wiped the grill with a paper towel (which was still left dirty) & then we could enter. Why didn’t she check the dishes? Or windows? Or floors? I’ll think twice after staying in another rental managed by Newman-Dailey as well.

Perfect Family Condo

This was the first time that we have stayed at the Palms at Dune Allen but certainly wont be the last. We loved being on the beach, the cleanliness of the condo and the pool and also how close we were to everything. We have 4 kids under 9 and this condo made getting all of things down to the beach a breeze. We can't wait to return.
