I have stayed in many different units in Carolina Dunes over the past 10 years. The location is great - it's near the end of Cherry Grove, so it's quieter. The Point is nearby. Here are my pros and cons of this particular unit as of May 2023:
PROS:
-Location!
-Ocean front with direct access to beach!
-Views from balcony and master bedroom!
-Indoor pool and hot tub! *NOTE* as of May 2023, most of the panels over the pool are gone for some reason? So if it rains, it rains into the pool. The water was very warm, but still.
-Unit was pretty well stocked with dishes, dish clothes, pots and pans, and silverware.
CONS:
-Unit was supposed to be stocked with one roll of TP per bathroom and 1 roll of paper towels, but was not.
-Sliding glass door to balcony was extremely difficult to close once open. We did report this to the management company, so hopefully it will be resolved, but I don't think this is a new issue.
-I know it's not required, but there were no extras in the unit - no hand soap, no local menus, no printed channel guide, no books or magazines to read... There were a few games and some playing cards. I just appreciate units that are a bit more stocked with little things that make a trip easier.
-The key pick up/drop off is annoying. Driving 30 minutes RT is not convenient. Would prefer at least to leave keys in unit after checkout.
