So, the condo is beautiful to look at and it generally looks like what you see online. However, there are some strange things about it that we have never seen in any condo we have stayed in at the beach (and we have been coming to the OBX for almost 25 years). For example, the cabinet under the master bath sink is locked - if you have any issues with the water, good luck - you can't access the pipes. Additionally, we couldn't find access to the breaker box and a circuit tripped on our final day there and we had no lights in either of the bathrooms - and no way to reset the circuit to gain power. So, I had to get ready for the day in darkness, ,which was NOT fun. Also, the balcony off the master is pictured with chairs on it - but all it has is a tiny side table, so it's completely unusable. We also were spoiled by having access to the storage area under the unit in the previous place we stayed - being able to put all of our beach gear there instead of having to lug it from our vehicle each day was wonderful - so we were disappointed that wasn't an option here. Overall, the condo is nice - we loved that the living room furniture was comfortable, as were the beds. We also really enjoyed having the screened-in area outside the front door as a place to leave our sandy beach shoes, cooler, and beach bag. The carts for loading and unloading all of our stuff for move-in and out were really nice, though it was really busy on move-in day (Sunday) and we had to fight to get a cart because there were some rude people who were using two and three of them and not thinking of others. The one thing that really upset me was that upon our arrival, our daughter found a dirty swim diaper in her closet (front bedroom - the one with the queen bed). If we're paying for the condo to be cleaned, I don't expect to find something as disgusting as that in a closet. It wasn't a good way to begin our vacation. In spite of that, we had a good week and enjoyed staying in the condo.
Another note - and this is totally unrelated to the condo, but is just a note for anyone thinking about staying at Dunescape Villas - the parking is set up so that each condo is given 2 parking passes and the parking spaces are not numbered. There are not enough parking spaces for 2 vehicles for each condo. We left Friday evening and returned to a completely full lot. We had to park WAY down in front of the next building and hike a mile to get to our condo. Each condo should have 1 numbered space.
