28 Beachwood West is located in a quaint and beautiful private community, Wild Dunes, which provides wonderful amenities, easy access to a very well kept beach, and awesome wildlife! We saw gators (from afar), turtles, and deer regularly throughout our explorations of Wild Dunes. We loved staying in this community! The property itself was very pretty. The living area, dining room, kitchen, family area, and three seasons room were fabulous! My parents, sister, brother-in-law, 2 nieces, husband, and myself had plenty of room to share these areas comfortably and we loved the decor and style! The master bedroom on the main level was very spacious. One downfall was the tile in the shower was cracked which was not very pleasant on the eyes and also made the shower seat unusable as it would pinch you if you sat down, so that could use some improvement. The property description says there are two master suites with king beds. The second suite on the second floor is not a king sized bed. It didn't even seem like a queen, so possibly a double? Also, the bathroom in this room had a broken toilet in which we had to fix the flapper several times throughout our stay even after notifying the rental company. Both bathrooms on the upper floor had windows in the shower that had grime in the corners, which wasn't great, but I just tried to ignore it for the few minutes I was showering. The showers seemed older, and didn't even have hand held shower heads, which when staying in a million dollar plus house is kind of odd, but again, not a huge deal. The yard and pool were very enjoyable. The yard is well kept. The pool was rather dirty when we arrived, but a pool company did come on Tuesday to clean it. The pool company did say there was a thin layer of algae on the pool liner, which was slightly disheartening but they took care of it and it was swimmable. The pool was also very cold. Granted, we visited mid May so it wasn't super hot, but if the pool were heated we definitely would have used it more. Also, there was outside furniture but a larger conversation set would have been nice to enjoy family dinners, or sit on the front deck. Overall, it was a nice stay, but like I said, it left some things to be desired.

Lovely except we could have used gas logs. The weather turned quite cold and heat varied from room to a room

Beautiful home Clean and not crowded beaches at all Great service

First, the house is great-the private pool is awesome, and the large garage was really handy. The rooms are well appointed (the second floor rooms are a bit small, but perfectly fine for a week vacation. HOWEVER, the communication with Beachside Vacations (the property manager), was horrific. Not long after checking in, we notified them that the washing machine wouldn’t work. Didn’t take long for them to send a mechanic, who “fixed” the issue, but said that if it happens again to call. It wasn’t fixed—in fact it never even began to work after he visited. Without even coming back to the house, a part was ordered (apparently, the problem was known—how else to know what part to order?) Here’s the problem: We checked in on Saturday. We didn’t have a working washing machine until late Thursday—after days and days of delays. Never a “sorry” from the management. We were told we’d be updated on Wednesday. No call, no message. imagine taking a family beach vacation—seven people altogether, ranging from 9 to 70’s, and not having a washing machine. Great! Kids in dirty underwear, re-using workout and tennis clothing that stinks. Again, house was great, management stinks.

The only issue was that the second master suite has queen size bed but was advertised having a king size bed. When I contacted management to discuss with manager, I never received a call back. Great location! Very clean!
