Disliked: Amenities
The towels were small and scratchy. Pillows were flat and cheap. Internet was weak or nonexistent. TV in the one room never did work right. Air conditioners in both rooms were loud. Had to turn one off on the second night because it was so loud. Positive about it was Staff did there best to accommodate when they could. They were helpful and friendly. Rate it 2 1/2 stars.

Basic motel. No dining facilities and very few dining options around the area. The public beach is right in front of the property. But in order to be in a safe zone to swim, you should go to the boardwalk area - 15 mins walk.

Family time.

I needed some family time. This was my 10 year old son's first time away from home. The Dunes was perfect for our needs. We will be looking forward to next summers stay. Maybe a weekend here and there as well

Our stay had its good and had its bad. While we loved the location, pool and how comfortable the beds were we were very disappointed in the over all condition of our room. The walls are filthy, the floors were no different. The furniture in our room (room 8) was VERY weathered. The tv didn’t work. The upkeep on this place isn’t great. When adjusting the temp on the a/c the vent was COVERED in mold. Other rooms did seem to be in better condition but room 8 is in dire need of TLC.
