We have stayed in Southern Dunes a few times so in our review we could compare with other stays , which were wonderful!
Pros
Stayed here for 3 weeks. House is very spacious, lots of room. Has been supplied with everything you need for your stay, even welcoming soaps,dishwasher tabs. House was tidy in appearance. Furniture(beds, sofa were comfortable).
Julie was wonderful to correspond with, which we had to do a few times during our stay.
We choose this house for a southern exposure as it was the month of Nov, didn’t have too much sun but did get the rays after 2:30 pm for a few hours. Most houses got no sun at all at this time of year.
Check in was great and allowed to enter earlier according to our arrival there! Really appreciated that!
Some cons
As others have mentioned , house could do with a deep cleaning, very dirty windows ( we cleaned one pane of door and lights around alcove). Definitely needs new throw rugs, indoor and out, new pad for lounge chairs outside would be nice. Dusty place!
Lanai screen had lots of open spaces and needs to be replace in areas. One evening tons of flying bugs came in during dinner. Pool deck under eating area needs to be redone, very gritty , dirty.
Pool heater broke down, pool was kinda warm at first but by third week was cold 73.5. We didn’t notice as it rained for a week and didn’t mention it to Julie till last 8 days of our trip. Julie did reimbursed us 7 days of payment of heat.
Overall an ok stay.
