On arrival the condo was quite clean & we loved the location, it being a gated community and especially being so close to the water. We saw dolphins on occasion, pelicans flying right past our windows & some beautiful sunsets. The owners have made a number of very nice renovations, but the unit needs more work and some new furniture (balcony chairs and dining table for instance). It was nice and quiet the first couple of days there, but that didn’t last long. A unit below was undergoing some renovations and there was constant drilling, sawing and pounding going on for over two weeks, and, there was a poor miserable dog left alone for hours on end every day, in the unit above us, who barked and cried the entire time its owners were gone. And then, we had smelly water literally running between the ceiling boards in the master bathroom shower and the vent in the main bathroom. Because building A is very old, plumbing issues seem to be a recurring problem throughout, as well as some concrete issues in some of the balconies and the first floor walkway out to the boardwalk to the beach. Some of them were supported by jack posts. Fortunately, this unit didn’t have the concrete problem and most of our issues were not the fault of the owners or the management company, just bad timing and, ongoing problems in a 50 year old building. There wasn’t a tub in the unit as listed in the amenities. I’m guessing it was removed when they remodeled the bathrooms. And, when we looked for the hot tub listed for the Dunes we were told there wasn’t one, at least not near building A. Perhaps there is one near buildings D and E, we didn’t look that far. At another time I believe this could be a nice place to rent, but it was not a good experience for us, and we will not rent another place in Building A, but would definitely consider renting through ECDI again. They were very helpful and relocated us, so that the bathroom ceilings could be opened
