The mezzanine level was a great place to hang out at and escape the sun. We loved that the beach is close. We love the kitchen set up and enjoy the bar area on the mezzanine level. We can’t wait to come back.

Great location-walking distance to beach!

My family and I had a great stay here. It was a good location to walk to the beach and the view from balcony is nice. Our only concern was the cleanliness- this place definitely needed a good deep clean. It was dirty under and behind beds, dirty clothes inside the downstairs closet from previous renters probably, fans were dusty, pillows were dirty, covers were not fresh and they don’t provide complimentary toiletries so we had to get that on our own. Also there was dog poo on top balcony area as you walk outside. Good location but gave it 3 stars because of the dirty spots we saw.

Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This location is perfect! The view is as awesome and the house is nice. The bar was awesome too but we didn’t really like the 3rd bedroom (that attached to the bar area on the 2nd floor) not being attached to the main floor. It was weird to have to go outside and up the stairs to come into the house to use the kitchen and living room with the rest of the family. Overall though, I would stay here again. We enjoyed it.

View was great stay is a different story

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was ok but for the price not worthwhile the front door kept locking there was what appeared to be long dog hair on the main bedroom as soon as we got there. Dog hair in the floor already guess from previous stay the fact that we have to make the beds threw me off I’ve stayed in other beach house right close by I mean yes I paid for the linens but still have to make the beds. The freezer was not freezing enough, it was an ok stay I would say we wanted to experience the whole 2 flooring beach house thought we would be way better but in reality the owners need to fix up that house for the price that cost a week over 3 grand to me personally was NOT WORTH THE PRICE. The view was beautiful that I was amazed.

Best SURPRISE ever.....

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this home to surprise my sister for her 70th birthday. Our group of 16 had the BEST time and we couldn't have asked for a better layout of location! We said the house was designed for our crew and even named for us -- Looney Dunes! We loved the ocean view and spent many hours sitting on the decks watching our bigs and littles playing on the beach. We anticipated nights around the firepit, but with our Astros playing the first two games of the World Series the nights were spent in front of the TV with tons of snacks!! Thankful for the big island and plentiful seating!We will definitely be looking at this property again for family get togethers -- my sister was completely surprised!! Swedes was wonderful to work with and even went above and beyond to help us when there was an item left behind that we had to get before leaving the peninsula! All in all, it was probably the best experience I have had with renting and planning a family get together!

July 4th getaway

We had a great time. Looney Dunes was just as shown in the listing. Clean, fully furnished and plenty of space for everyone. The host was exceptional, easy to check in and check out. There was plenty of deck space for lounging and the perfect place for viewing fireworks.

The best Baca

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a really fun place to stay. It’s less then 500 feet from the beach, it’s close to store, lots of places to eat near by. The best part was how much space there was actually in the house, the house fit everyone vary comfortably. Everyone had a bed and blankets.

Great get away!

The property was exactly what was expected, very beautiful, clean, and right by the beach. There was space for up to 18 people as promised if two people share a bed. Also the couches turn into queen size beds so that’s 9 beds in total. There is an extra charge for linens so if that is a must, make sure to ask for them. Overall, a wonderful experience and would definitely come back for another retreat.

Surprise vacation

In general the property is clean and with good ocean view. Unfortunately, with the capacity to hold 18 people without extra trash bag is challenge. Also, the ladder to climb up to the top of bunk bed is not secured. One of our member fell down due to ladder slid. This can be prevented.
