The unit is lovely, quiet and well-appointed with everything you need for a comfortable vacation (even good books!).
And the setting, right on the Atlantic Ocean, is incredibly beautiful and peaceful.
Wonderful location. Loved listening to the waves. Though it is listed as first floor, there are stairs required to get to the first floor. Overall a wonderful vacation. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent stay by the beach. The condo was well maintained, very clean and overall a great place to stay for our family of four.
Very clean, well supplied condo with great views of the ocean. The beach is just steps from the condo with several places to access the sand and each had an outdoor shower. Having a private parking place with an area to store our beach chairs was so convenient. TThis wad

Rental was, again, very good! Would suggest that an inspection be done prior to renters' arrival to reduce risk of repair and condition issues. But would recommend to anyone ! Great location and time !

Ocean Dunes 1603 was perfect for the two of us. Ocean front view was great. Exactly as pictured, very clean and well stocked. We had three issues that A1 promptly took care of. Toilet tank quit filling, repaired that day. A/C quit cooling, repaired that same day. Ice maker in fridge wasn’t working. David( property manager?) offered to bring bags of ice when it was determined ice maker couldn’t be repaired. We came back later in the day to find a counter top ice maker was brought in!! Now that’s customer service! Kudos to Kayla in the office, David and a few others for their professionalism. Everyone at A1 was very friendly, professional and focused on our satisfaction. Ocean Dunes 1603 is a beautiful unit with the upstairs loft with 2nd bathroom. The spiral stairs can be a little scary but we had no issues going up or down. We will rent again from A1 Property Management! And have decided to rent 1603 again this year if possible. We love how quiet it was at this particular building. Great job A1! We will recommend you guys and can’t wait to come back!!

Easy to rent the property, no unpleasant surprises, all costs accurately described up front, and the property was gorgeous and comfortable. I’ve used A1 in the past and have never been disappointed.
The views from this place were excellent. We loved the short walk to the beach. We also enjoyed how everything worked; we had all the conveniences we needed. Nicely decorated
My family stayed here for our first family vacation and loved every moment! Everything looked very clean, the neighbors were quiet, and the view of the ocean from the balcony was perfect!
We had a great week. Condo was everything we expected. Beach was awesome.

We enjoyed our stay very much, looking forward to returning!
We’ve been coming here for years. Gorgeous beach, quiet and never crowded. Super convenient to Carolina Beach, Southport and Wilmington. The condo feels like home and worries melt away as you cross the threshold. We will return again and again.
