Read Description Carefully
We’ve stayed in this property whilst under a different management company, the Towering Dunes has become incredibly outdated. It looked as though no one had been in the property for some time and it hadn’t been prepared for guests. Ups on arrival, our key code didn’t work. Beds were without linens, damp rid bags were full and bulging and we were greeted with a cockroach in the master bedroom. Heated pool?! Forget about it, the pool heater on this property hasn’t been functional in years, however, they advertise a ‘heated pool’ amenity. Living room furniture is outdated and broken down, mattresses are in dire need of replacement. Getting ‘local’ assistance was impossible, everything is dispatched to the ‘local team’. Would not recommend this property in current condition, with current management.

Family-beach weekend
Our family of 8 adults and 4 children (ages 11 to 4) gathered here for a long weekend. The house was large enough to accommodate all of us pretty comfortably. I recommend it for large families. The pool was great for the children. The beach is a 2-block walk.

Towering Dunes
Really nice place to take my family for a much needed break. Very spacious, clean, and well stocked. The pool was great for the kids. The privacy that the home provides was wonderful, and just a stones throw to the beautiful beach. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Great Stay as usual!!!
We have been using Resort Vacation Properties and its predecessor company for more than 30 years. This stay there were a few problems - a failed ac compressor and supply chain delay in finding a replacement - but all was made good as promised. In the past Resort has assisted in finding new properties when late wind damage or sales of our preferred property occurred after booking. And always effectively. We will continue to use them and enjoy our stays. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
