The gym and pickle ball are fun and easy to get to. Everything is walkable inside River Dunes and “town” is only a few minutes away.

Beautiful Community

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The room was beautiful and very clean. I would suggest a sponge if you're going to provide dish detergent. The pool water was very dirty. We really wished it was cleaner. It kind of grossed us out.
