Great location beautiful beach. Wonderful access to beach. Great size for large group. Upstairs king beds were very hard mattresses- downstairs king bed was acceptable but no ocean view. Several cooking pots had food residue.

Great location. Terrible management.
Love being right on the beach. Management was great at addressing issues quickly but I am still working with them three weeks later over an issue. They just don’t seem interested in solving the issue.

Pleasantly surprised
This beach house was perfect for our big crowds needs! After booking I had some concerns about what to expect based on some reviews but the deck boards had been repaired and we found no other faults! Had a great trip and truly enjoyed our stay! Generally we stay ina condo but opted for privacy this time and wasn't disappointed!

Great location needing a little help
Over all…great location! The older duplex is needing a little maintenance. I’m a come home with clean clothes & pack light kind of person. Very disappointed that the washer was not working on top of having WiFi trouble as soon as we got there.

Great home
For a quick getaway for just my husband and myself it was perfect. Super easy to walk right out on the beach. Very clean! We had 3 unused bedrooms. The patio furniture was not comfortable and we couldn’t ever connect to the wi-fi. The living room would have been small if you had enough people to fill the bedrooms.

Great location
Love the location! Deck needs some wood replaced to prevent splinters, but we all just wore our shoes to prevent. It was not as clean as we’d have like it, but nothing that would prevent use staying here again. Actually this is the 3rd time we’ve stayed in this house, on one side or the other of the duplex.

Great location, minor details to consider addressing
Location can’t be beat. Right on the beach. Away from crowded condos. House layout was great. Just minor details that would not take much time or effort to fix (eg: loose faucet fixtures in kitchen and bathroom, torn shower curtain liner, HVAC return vents caked in dust, bedroom ceiling fan mount loose and noisy). Overall we had a great experience!

Great place to watch the waves and sunsets
We enjoyed our stay. It’s right on the beach and close enough to all the popular eats. Plenty of room for everyone in our group. The outdoor lounge seating could use some comfort upgrades, as well as the living room furniture. Overall a good value for money. My grandson rammed his head into the corner of the granite countertop d required an ER visit for a gash in his forehead, so we will always remember our visit here. :(

Professional Updates Needed!
Excellent beach location but the house needs to be updated as most appliances are dysfunctional! The kitchen needs to be stocked better with the basics. Bathrooms need to be updated. If not, great house on the beach. We enjoyed our stay!!!

The dishwasher was not working and it was leaking really bad. The couches had numerous tears in them. The ice maker didn’t work. Fridge and microwave were rusted.

Little get away
This place was wonderful! We really enjoyed ourselves! It’s a duplex which was awesome because the beach was not as crowded as some of the big condos have. We had great neighbors as well!! The layout gave each of us our own space! My husband and I had the room with a walk out porch to the beach… it was cool enough that at night we left the door open and heard the ocean waves as we slept! Pretty wonderful!! A few little things could be fixed (closer was broken to outside door, one of the metal chairs had a piece out of it, etc) but it did not effect the level of enjoyment during our trip what so ever! They had extra toilet paper set out for us, mini shampoos and conditioners, lots of appliances and we were thrilled to have a built in ice machine to keep our drinks cool the whole time!! Thanks so much for a great experience! -Butlers

Needs a lot! I would keep looking!
Not recommend until renovations are done especially the deck! It’s literally falling apart and dangerous! The corner is coming apart first step off is inches from falling off completely . The owner replaced a few boards after complaints but not enough! The refrigerator took three days to cool off! Maintenance came checked it out and said it was old and nothing they could do. We literally have bruises from the mattresses they are so terrible! Kitchen is stocked with very old pans and no sharp knives. Back door and handle needs replaced. Very hard to open and cut my son-in-law. Door doesn’t even open all the way to the deck. Mold in every bathroom including ceilings.

Spacious place with easy beach access
We enjoyed our stay at Sundance West. It was easy to get to and from the beach. Very spacious for our large family. I could see where if you had loud neighbors in the duplex adjoined it could be a problem but luckily our neighbors were very courteous. We would definitely use this place again. It was budget friendly and conveniently located.

Love love LOVE the location. Cozy house. The ice maker is AMAZING! It’s the sonic type ice!!! Perfect for all our beach drinks. It’s more upgraded than pictures show. Great beach access and guest services were by far the best we’ve ever had. Fast responses and willing to be the most helpful! Very nice. We VRBO A LOT and this was the best guest services hands down!

Beautiful View and steps away from the water!
Property is all about location. Read the previous reviews about all the items not fixed...I.e. the stove, steps etc. Everything was working and could see some repairs had been made. Only thing I noticed right off was that the carpet needed to be cleaned or even removed would be probably better. Biggest complaint really was that the furniture could be updated on the balcony and additional seating provided that are comfortable! Other than a few rowdy folks coming in next door the day before we left it was quite and others are respectful. Do wish that the description included that this is a duplex. It is not the whole house you are getting to yourself, honestly that is what we thought we were getting when we rented it. Had we known it was a duplex, we would have chosen a different property. With all that being said, it was still a nice week, and overall it was decent.
