Ideal Family Spot

This is a perfect location for family. The location is quiet and private. Beach access is a must for a family with young children and this location has it! When it comes to communication, the process was simple…..ask and you shall receive.

What a great location! Waking up to the ocean and coffee on the beach was a dream. The beach was not busy and we had easy access to the property. The pool was so warm! A really wonderful trip! Would stay here again.

Excellent view & quiet location, needs improvements

This is the second time my family has stayed in this property. We loved it so much last year that we booked it right away for the same week the following year. Over that timeframe, it appears that they have changed property management companies. The area that concerned me the most was the cleanliness of the property… Especially with Covid, it did not feel clean. The floors were still dirty. The rugs were so dirty we had to move them to the side so that we wouldn’t walk on them. Several dishes that we took out to use were dirty. Several dishes. The grill was dirty. The windows were so dirty we couldn’t see out of them. The bedding comforters did not have a duvet cover. So were we sharing bedding with the previous guests?? It just didn’t feel clean. We enjoyed reading the personal owner story last year but it’s a shame to see this place like this. It needs some updates but we can handle that. The nice little touches that we enjoyed last fall break, were no longer there. The view is fantastic. We love the low-key location. Our check in process was frustrating. We were told on the phone we could check in early. We went to the grocery store to buy all of our groceries only to find out that we couldn’t check in early. I had a car full of cold foods and there was no consideration. The lady at Newman-Dailey reservations was very rude. She said it needed to be inspected. After I told her I’d sit and wait for them to come, an hour later, the inspector came … stayed about 5 minutes… wiped the grill with a paper towel (which was still left dirty) & then we could enter. Why didn’t she check the dishes? Or windows? Or floors? I’ll think twice after staying in another rental managed by Newman-Dailey as well.

Perfect Family Condo

This was the first time that we have stayed at the Palms at Dune Allen but certainly wont be the last. We loved being on the beach, the cleanliness of the condo and the pool and also how close we were to everything. We have 4 kids under 9 and this condo made getting all of things down to the beach a breeze. We can't wait to return.

Great A+++

Great stay , great location. AND A LOT LESS CROWDED than other places in the area. That was a huge plus for us! I didn’t know that the beach rentals were only $75 a week for umbrella and 2 chairs. You may want to convey that to future rentals. If I would have know I would not have lugged my umbrellas and chairs every day if it was that cheap. Thanks. Will definitely return.
