This condo was perfect! It was decorated beautifully and well stocked, with everything we needed and more. We were thrilled with the location, a quick walk to the beach. Would love to rent here again!
Dune Fox is a fabulous place to stay. It is clean, roomy, well stocked, and in a great location. Stefanie, the property manager, communicates well and is responsive if you needs her. We will definitely be back!
Our stay was AMAZING! The condo was clean and comfortable and gave us plenty of room to enjoy being together without feeling as though we were stepping all over each other. We enjoyed having the option of the beach and the pool within a short walking distance making our vacation relaxing and fun. The check in and check out processes were easy. We were enjoying our stay so much that we were sad when our time ended. We are already making plans to return next year.
This is the second time we have stayed at this property. The best things about in my opinion would be the amount of space, how well equipped the kitchen is (tons of cookware!) and the amount of parking area. Plenty of room to spread out. The decks are a great place to spend time on.
Of all the places we have stayed using VRBO, this one is the most like “home” the way it is furnished/equipped and probably the best value for our family! We will definitely book this place again in the future.
We are all long time friends and take a trip every year together. This trip was about just relaxing, hate that it was red flag and water was not clear, but property was as stated. Very relaxing time, will stay again.
We’ve stayed at this unit several times and especially enjoy the peace and quiet of the location with just a quick walk to the pool, beach, and tennis courts. The condo is always clean and in great shape with plenty of room for us to enjoy being together without being under foot. We took our Labrador Retriever for his first beach experience, and he also loved being able to be with his people and meet other dogs on the beach. We’ll definitely be back next year.
The Cape is our favorite place on earth! Barrier Dunes is the best, most affordable place to stay! Family friendly, pet friendly and SAFE! We have been staying here for over 5 years and we have stayed at DUNE FOX twice. The property manager, Stephanie is always great! Can’t wait til next year!
Fully stocked kitchen. Short walk to beach. Very clean and nicely decorated. Air conditioning was amazing. We didn’t have any issues for the entire week. Lovely vacation. Thank you so much for having us.
My family and I spent fall break at Dune Fox - it was perfect! Just as described. Water pressure was a little iffy in the showers many times, so don't all shower at once. But otherwise, this was just the place we needed for the week. We walked to the beach daily, and even out for dinner one night! Thank you!
We loved Dune Fox. And have been staying at various townhomes in Barrier Dunes for 15+ years. The home itself was great—very colorful and inviting. The prop manager answered us immediately. Two things:
—the townhome is in the back of the complex so I would suggest bringing a wagon or renting a golf cart if you will be taking lots of things to the beach.
—the door to the deck is very, very hard to open.
But overall a 5!
Home needs a bit of updating.Location is a bit away from the beach, but we made do.The main pool by the beach was closed for repairs ,but no fault of owner or manager. One of the bicycles had a flat tire. We did have an issue with the A/C system one day, but Jennifer was very responsive and even issued a partial refund for our trouble and help. Hats off to her! Now , for the good, this place had absolutely everything you needed for cooking, beaching, etc. beach cart,boogie boards, sand toys,you name it! We love the Cape and will be back!
The master bed on the top floor was hot, luckily found a fan that we sat in the night stand. Not one door closed fully and locked except the ground floor door. There were roaches in the kitchen drawers. Beds were comfy, couches were nice. The Wi-Fi worked great. It was a nice experience others than the bugs.
We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the beach. The beach is next to the clubhouse pool so it is easy to change from beach time to pool time. There is very little parking at the pool but the complex is small enough to walk to the pool/beach. The condo has a lot of stairs- one flight up to the main floor, another flight to two of the bedrooms and another flight to the master bedroom. I wish they had a baby gait since we had a toddler and the stairs were a problem.
