Well let's just say don't believe the pictures they have online! I booked my room over a week out. What they said I was going to get was far from we ended up stuck with. It said we where supposed to get a room with a kitchenette, but when we arrived and seen the room it was the size of a shoe box. With no kitchenette,just a 3/4 fridge with a microwave on top that was it, no sink no cabinets no stove like was in the description and pictures. We had 3 adults and you literally could not hardly stand up and walk without bumping into one another and constantly getting in each other's way. The bathroom was barely big enough to stand up and turn around in, the same with the shower. Oh and good luck sitting on the toilet straight bc it was impossible. Like I said I booked over a week out you would think they could have planned to give us the room that was promised in the pictures and descriptions. I had to apologize to the people who also gave their hard earned money to stay there bc it made me look like a liar, which made me even angrier. I know what I booked and paid for. But also when we realized we had been duped I politely asked one of the lady's that was their to clean who do I need to talk to about this. She replied idk I just work here. Nobody was there in any type of office bc there was none. So your kind of trapped with what you get. That's very unprofessional if you ask me. Or maybe it's by design bc I have the feeling I'm not the only one who has had to deal with this

I am sorry there was an issue with your booking. After looking on the web page for Expedia, the room type you booked was a townview double/double, which is more of an efficiency than a kitchenette. I am in the processes of contacting Expedia to see what we can do to rectify the issue. The room you stayed in is a shower only and the bathroom is smaller than most rooms. I am sorry you had issues with your room. We greatly appreciate your business and we do hope you will come back again

Perfectly located for access to Kure Beach dining, pier, etc. The ocean view room overlooks the pool and parking lot which is not totally scenic, but the ocean more than makes up for it. The only complaint I could possibly make is that the beds squeak very loudly at every small movement—makes sleeping difficult. But this is our second stay at The Sand Dunes, and we love it for the value and convenience.

This was a great little beach side hotel. Everything was very clean. The beach views and access was perfect.

Possible roach infestation
The staff was very friendly. The cleanliness of the place not so much, and the sheets were awful. I had a hard time sleeping due to how scratchy they were. I also noticed a large American cockroach under one of the kitchen cabinets, with roach dropping in each of the bottom cabinets in the kitchen. They either have an infestation and/or don’t clean as well as they should. I’ve been a professional housecleaner and own a small housecleaning business and I’d either fire or reprimand my employees if they left a room like this. I also noticed several roaches outside, so I’m going to guess that there is an infestation of them at this hotel. Pest control needs to be called and a few minutes needs to be taken to wipe the cabinets out.

Like that it was so close to beach and pier. Parking was not the best. The parking spaces are hard to get in and out of it there are other vehicles in the parking lot parked in front of you or behind you. Not enough room to maneuver a vehicle. Room smelled a little musky. I think maybe from it having the inside air conditioner. the cleaning clean was great. Overall we had a great stay.
