May 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### A little disappointed Condo was decorated nicely and had plenty of linens and extra blankets. Kitchen well stocked with cooking items if you wanted to cook. Master bed is like laying on concrete. We could not sleep on it and slept on the couches. I saw this mentioned in a previous review from 2023 and was hoping it had been changed. The pool at this property seems like an afterthought. Weird set up and very small. Lounge chairs aren’t by the pool and it’s so narrow between the wall and pool you can’t move them closer. Balcony furniture is very comfortable and plenty of places to relax. Check in and out was a breeze, no problems with that. It’s a nice condo but I wouldn’t book again because of the master bed and pool as mentioned above. ##### Kim L. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jan B. Jun 12, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Return to The Dunes of Crystal Beach We have stayed at this building in different units for several years. 4 bedrooms is a nice size for a multi/ generational group. The beach service is great. Also would like to suggest each unit is equipped with a way to dry your beach towels out on the balcony since the railing is not to be used. ##### Jan B.
