Great house, great location.
3.8
Our family vacation has very memorable. The house was a great beach house and location was the best.
3.8
Dune House is a wonderful location and the view of the ocean and beach is awesome. We loved our stay and really enjoyed the pool and there was plenty of furniture for our group.
The kitchen has recently been updated and there is plenty of storage for groceries.
The room with the bunk beds is very small and not comfortable for adults, but all other rooms are nice and having 4 full bathrooms is great with a large group.
We loved this house and would definitely consider booking again if the 5th bedroom was a normal size. We were a group of 11 people which consisted of 2 families with adult children.

The location, view and pool are great. The house itself is sorely in need of work.

This house is showing its age. But that didn’t bother us. Luckily all major appliances worked properly, unlike previous reviews. I thought it was fairly clean until I moved the couch cushions. It did lack some trash cans which was a little challenging. But it is hard for me to understand why the owners/managers wouldn’t fix the little things that would make it look so much better. For instance, why not replace the multiple light switches that were broken. Literally, 4-5 metal levers instead of regular switches. And how hard is it to reattach cabinet doors instead of letting them hang off their hinges? It truly is little details that make a huge impression. Otherwise, the location is perfect and the pool is a great bonus.
3.8
The houae is dated. The oven was broke when we got there with the door being held up by a barstool (and despite daily communication with property management it was still broke when we left). We had brought food to cook for 10 people in the oven but had to do something different every night. They offered only $25/night reimbursement, which is noy acceptable for what we had to spend on dinners. There is quite a bit of mold in the bathrooms. The sliding door to go to the pool downstairs kept coming off the track. The location and pool were great, though.

Location - great. House needs updates. Frig vary noisy, did not cool well.
sliding door off pool came off track with each use. Pool never cleaned, and trash not picked during stay. The lay out is fine and serviceable for a large family.
3.8
The location of this beachfront home was a plus, but the home is in disrepair and not comfortable. The beds were squeaky and not very comfortable, there is no option for blocking the sun in order to sleep past 6am. The refrigerator was super noisy and would not cool part of the time. We reached out to Vacasa to have a repairman come check the fridge and we heard back from them the last day before departure, we had to throw out some food due to the refrigerator not working properly.

My family was there in early June and the weather was great. It has privacy and a great view. Inside has two separate living rooms so people can enjoy different activities but still be close by. The pool was our favorite space. All day you can choose to stay in the sun or in the shade of the deck.

Loved the view and pool. This house could accommodate us very nicely and has some vintage charm like wormwood paneling. Definitely will be coming back.

The location being on the beach with a pool was a great plus, but it ended there. The house is very dated, wasn't very clean, and many things were not in working order. Shower head was broken, screen door was also broken, and the sliding doors were old and not in great working order either. The BBQ grill was a piece of junk falling apart and all rusted. Small older this as well. Last but not least, the property management company Vacassa has been horrible with a lack of responsiveness and a lack of taking any action on any issues we had to the point of feeling that I need to take legal action if something isn't done soon.
This unit was $1000/night when all the fees and service charges are added and at that price we expected the Ritz and got a a Roach Motel. Stay away from this place and any Vacassa managed properties!

A sweet home with cute character. Right on the beach with amazing views. Well equipped and the rental company was very responsive. Our large family had an amazing time! We would rent this location again and again!

This is the second year in a row that we have stayed at the Dunes House for our annual family vacation. We will be back next year! We have 3 grown children and 2 dogs that we vacation with at HHI. The house is perfect for our needs. We love it.
3.8
Beautiful view, from the top balcony. We requested the pool to be heated, and it was, but the hot tub was the same temp, so not great. Overall we all really liked the house and neighborhood, except a few things, some fixable, some not….
-The house is right next to a beach access
-sliding glass doors do not slide very well, the kids couldn’t open them at all.
-window in bottom bedroom does not open, top lock malfunction
-master bath shower loses water pressure toward end of every shower
-master bed windows don’t open, blinds in window panes don’t work,
-a big one for us, the pool has no light, so unless you want to use motion lights that keep going on and off it is utterly dark back there and the pool not safely accessible of a night.
-kitchen knives really need replacing, tips broken, stained
-5 bedroom house with parking for only 2 cars
-banister on top deck a bit sketchy/loose
Just a little insight for anyone wanting to rent this house….
Of course we had a wonderful time and it was very spacious for all of us.

Loved the pool and direct beach access. Additionally parking and amenities were also very nice.

The property had an excellent location but It could use a little TLC. Two showers didn’t have hot water. We were able to fix one and the other was looked at after a few calls and told it couldn’t be fixed. The master bedroom had a deck with a fan but we couldn’t get the door unlocked. They provided the bare minimum of supplies such as dish soap, paper towels, dishwasher soap, etc. The spa didn’t work.

Beach front location is superb. Stunning view of sunset from the deck .

Enjoyed the views and proximity from this large, cabin like beach home. We had plenty of room for 9 people and 2 dogs. There is a roach problem in the kitchen and the pool furniture is dilapidated. Once those two issues are resolved, I would recommend this home.

It was ok. Issues were algae in pool because it was on spa setting so pool didn’t filter properly. Cobb webs in corners of ceiling, during heavy down pours of rain ceiling leaked around chimney. With that said the view was beautiful.

The pool and beach views could not be beat. The home itself is older, musty and not overly comfortable but the space is good. The internet worked and if they can fix the roach issue...it’s worth it.

The view and the pool were amazing but the house needs work. One bedroom had leak in ceiling we called no one showed to fix it. Master bed was ready to break and so loud when you moved on it. Bottom line is for the price you should be a little better inside the house but I understand it’s the view you’re paying for.

Poor Property Mgmt
The house is in a great location, can't beat ocean front and accessibility to the surrounding restaurants. Like the other reviews, the pool and hot tub were not functional and dirty. I called ahead of our stay to check on this, due to the reviews and was told everything was functional and ready. We arrived to a very dirty pool, and a half filled hot tub. The mgmt company said they would have someone out to clean the pool within the next day. The pool was cleaned on our last night 6:30pm, before our 10am check-out. The house is dated, but fine in that regard, it is a typical beach front dated home. However, the dishes in the cabinets and drawers were dirty. It seemed everything was put away dirty from the previous stay. The home was dusty, and the floors felt dirty under our feet. No issues with the beds, although after a day in the sun, sleeping hard is no problem. The stove is no longer a glass top - so this was recently replaced and was functioning during our stay. Overall it seems to be a property management company issue with the consistent bad reviews on this home. It has great potential, if clean. Of course we still made the best of it, and spent the majority of our time on the beach. I can appreciate the ample seating in the dinning and top deck - that was a plus.

mixed feelings
Kitchen, good and bad. Best pot and pans from any rental, but had to hand wash everything as Dish washer didnt work. Ref good but ice maker didnt, had to go out and buy Ice.Toaster worked great, but microwave was cheapest POS on Walmart. Stove sort of worked on three eyes with one having big hole exposing wiring ,not good on solid top unit.
