Cozy, relaxing, great location
Our stay was very relaxing, as this was just a quick getaway trip before school starts. We booked with only 1 month notice, so there really wasn’t a lot to choose from in this area last minute. When pulling in, the curb appeal from this house is beautiful! There was some construction going on close by, but we always remember to bring sound machines. This house was very close to a beach access, but keep in mind that although the access is very close, there isn’t a big enough area for the public. A lot of the beach closest to this rental is private. If you want more room, you’ll have to actually drive down further. With that in mind, I really think that a golf cart would be a great addition to this rental! Some other things that came up that we thought should be addressed are- the house needs sprayed. We saw one small cockroach in the downstairs bathroom, but not until the day we checked out. As stated on other reviews, the furniture covering inside and outside needs to be cleaned! Also, the very dirty vent behind the upstairs toilet needs cleaned. Some things that need to be added to this rental are a broom, dustpan, & pot holders. Overall, it was a relaxing stay at a cute & cozy atmosphere.

Checked in and No WiFi or TV
This is a great location and a nice place to stay EXCEPT got there and no WiFi or TVs. None working. Shouldn’t that have been confirmed before arrival by Sanddollar?? Was told that there were renters three days prior and all was in working order. Just a disappointment. And could not be fixed until day before we checked out! Due to Mediacom being the only internet provider in the area. And we lost our AC for 24 hours. Sand dollar was responsive and gave us access to another condo a mile away but I chose Leaning Palms for location and close vicinity to other family staying on adjacent street so again feel that WiFi and TV should have been checked prior to check in so, at very least, could have been fixed before or soon after check in and not day before check out. Also there is absolutely no outlet in the downstairs bathroom for plugging in a hair dryer. And so I went to adjacent bedroom to use outlet there but absolute no mirror there so either add a mirror on wall above outlet in bedroom or add outlet to downstairs bathroom.

Nothing worked and the home was in a state of repair
Arrived and this home was not as listed fences and gates had holes, ceilings damage, torn out door cushions. Appliances not working. Shower knobs falling off stained carpets dirty place mats left in table I had to wash to have my children use. Rude service team when they did come out full of excuses as to why things weren't working.

Red Door beach house
Loved our stay! Plenty of room for our group of six family members. Three suggestions/comments before ai list all of the great amenities: (1) Access to the front door differed from the check in instructions, as a key was needed. The door does not operate digitally alone. Thank you for the after hours management line calling back, even if we were about to report we sleuthed around and figured out the door. (2) It was a surprise to enter and note a Keurig machine in the kitchen, contrary to the description. (We had packed our own.) And, (3) is it possible to have an outlet on both sides of the bed in the master bedroom? We found only one outlet in that bedroom, which meant one of the cell phones had to be charged elsewhere. The location of this home was perfect, just short walk to beach access where there is a restroom and beach shower. Compared to other towns along 30A, this location was not congested with traffic. Loved having use of the 3 bicycles. Found lots of beach toys for the kids in the garage, along with many beach chairs (thank you!). Thank you for providing a good supply of linens as living the beach life means lots of showers. Our family loved our stay!

Great get away
This house was the perfect fit for our family of 4. A block away from the beach couldn't be beat. We enjoyed our daily/nightly walks there as well as the close proximity to Stinky's Fish Camp for lunch, dinner, drinks and live music. House was well equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas, paddle boards, kayaks, and bikes. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Two large porch swings were our favorite places to relax for coffee or afternoon cocktails. Few items need attention: cleaning or replacing the coverings on the indoor couches and kitchen chairs, an outlet in the main floor bathroom would be beneficial, and more hangers available in all the closets. One negative was the construction happening next door that started at 7 AM-5PM every day. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation and truly enjoyed our stay at Leaning Palms in Dune Allen Beach.

Great location!
Very comfortable home overall. Several areas needed attention though. 1) Updated photos and details need to be on the listing...construction next door, Ariel photo of home with lots that are vacant(they have homes on them now) ...grill on deck...directions to the correct beach access, the photo with the bed swings has a rug and coffee table in it...there’s no rug or coffee table there. 2) An outlet for a hair dryer needs to be added in the hall bath downstairs. 3) Garage is a mess...needs to be cleaned and organized 4) The fridge in the garage doesn’t work...need to be removed or replaced. 5) Ice maker in the kitchen fridge does not work!! That’s a BIG issue! 6) The entire of the home in several areas need Sheetrock repaired and painting...nothing major...just refresh. 7) The pillows on the bed swings are filthy and worn...all of them need to be replaced. 8) All front deck furniture needs to be replaced with furniture people can actually use and enjoy...the cushions on all of that furniture stayed soaked due to rain our entire stay so whenever we were on the deck we stood up the entire time there. Also each rear deck off 2 bedrooms need a small table and 2 chairs added. 9) The entire home needs a deep cleaning...including all throws on furniture and all cushions on couches need cleaning. 10) The home needs another bathroom...each bedroom needs to have its on bath. Instead of deck for rear rooms...bathrooms could be added. 11) The fridge in the kitchen needs a water filter in it...the slot for it was empty! Water filter on kitchen sink needs replacing. 12) The entire home just needs to be inspected by the owners and all of the above items and more would make it a much better place for renters to enjoy.

Perfect location, might want to deep clean
Perfect location and ease of getting to beach. Constructive criticism- I would encourage property owner to have the place deep cleaned- couch slip covers had lots of stains, even a blood spot. Kitchen slip covers were also dingy. Tile floors were dirty in grout.
