The property was great and had plenty of parking available. The location was excellent—close to town and local attractions, with convenient access to the dunes while still being far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet. The only issue we experienced was that the well water ran out once during our stay, so guests may want to be mindful of water usage (we had 14 guests). Aside from that, everything was great. The host was excellent to communicate with, responding quickly and being very helpful throughout our stay. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would consider staying here again.

Stay at the sand dunes

Checking in at the house was easy the house was very clean tbe furniture is well used but usable but the second bathroom was down stairs the bathroom was real nice butthe stairs are real steep and tall steps very hard if you are older, only one of our group could do the stairs, so that meant only one bathroom for 5 of our 6 people, but location to the dunes was great.

October Visit

This house was great for our group of 4 friends! Plenty of space and having two bathrooms with showers helped. Amazing communication with the owners. There is kitchen supplies, propane for the grill, campfire, towels, sheets, and washer/dryer. They even had fans in the rooms for us! Parking was a bit difficult just because we had big truck trailers for the dunes, but we made it work without blocking the neighbors. I would stay here again and would recommend!
