Dec 15, 2024 #### Beach Getaway Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time in this unit. The views from the windows are amazing! We loved having two balconies also. The owners take the extra step in providing all of the kitchen essentials that you would need during your stay. It was very quiet and peaceful during the evening also. We didn't want to leave! ##### Laurie D.

Sep 17, 2024 #### Honeymoon Stay Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a beautiful place. We loved the pool and hot tub plus the lazy river. It was very nicely decorated. Amazing views. We rented electric bikes and went all over. The down side was no one on site to help restock the items we ran out of. Like tolet paper and trash bags. The office down stairs does not own this unit so they do no provide this. If we would have been told in advance we could have been prepared ##### Nancy G. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor #### Sara R. Jul 29, 2024 #### Clean condo with beautiful view and dirty pools Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Condo is clean with a great beautiful view and you have two balconies. Upgraded kitchen. Very nice condo. So so clean. Property was not Ok. Swimming pool was down the 2 days we were there then when it was open was dirty the whole time. For a place that post no smoking everywhere I pulled cigarette butt out of the pool and it smells like smoke when your out on the balcony. Lazy river was also dirty we pulled multiple pieces of trash out of it and called it a day.I would recommend luxury beach rentals company to a friend. They were so helpful and easy to deal with I just very upset with the actual forest dunes amenities being dirty and not the condo we stayed in. ##### Sara R.

Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The view from this condo is absolutely stunning—exactly what my husband and I were looking for to unplug, recharge, and soak in the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean. Waking up to the sunrise and winding down with unforgettable ocean sunsets was truly beautiful. The condo has a lot of thoughtful touches that made it feel like home—things like jewelry holders in the bed and bath rooms, cotton balls, and a magnified mirror were appreciated and made settling in easy.That said, we did run into a few things worth mentioning. Upon arrival, the unit looked great at first glance, but we did notice some cleanliness issues that likely would have been caught with a more thorough walkthrough or cleaning checklist. Given the high ratings and reviews, our expectations were a bit higher in that regard.Also, the toilet is unusually tall—something to be aware of if you're under six feet tall. At 5'6", I found it uncomfortable since only my toes could reach the floor. It's perfect for taller guests like my husband, but others like me will find it awkward and uncomfortable.Lastly, while the AC cooled the space effectively, it did make a loud knocking sound and sometimes shut off with a very jarring sound. It was manageable, but definitely noticeable at night.Despite these few hiccups, we had a relaxing time and felt refreshed when we left. The view alone made it worth it, and with a bit more attention to detail, this condo could easily be a 5-star experience every time. ##### TANYA C.
